“ALL-IN” — Weekly Encouragement – July 26, 2020
Greetings Friend,
“…for THE ACCUSER of our brethren has been thrown down…And they OVERCAME HIM because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life even when faced with death.” (Revelation 12:10-11)
Did you see that? The Lord said this is how we overcome the enemy. So often I will hear, “They overcame by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony.” – and that’s all. Look at the whole scripture again. We overcome “him”, the enemy, like this. And don’t miss that Jesus’ blood and our testimony have no power for us over the enemy if we are unwilling to put out lives in the Lord’s hands; instead still trying to keep control of our life ourselves.
Jesus said, “For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.” (Matthew 16:25)
So, here’s the Encouragement: Let’s go “ALL-IN”. Let’s let go of our life in this realm for the sake of Eternal Life in Him! “For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an Eternal Glory…”(2Corinthians 4:17) Say with me, “devil, you have no power over me – Covid (or cancer, or drugs, or pornograpy, or unforgiveness, or envy, or _________ ), you have no power over me; ‘For I have died and mylife is hidden with Christ in God.'” (Colossians 3:3)
God bless,
Dave
