And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death (Revelation 12:11)
One of the tricks that the devil uses against God‘s children in order to cheat them out of God’s blessings is to question or bring a doubt about that which God has done in their life. It’s like what transpired right after the baptism of Jesus at the Jordan. God spoke out of heaven and said “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased” (Matthew 3:17). Immediately, Satan came to Jesus and asked “If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread” (Matthew 4:3). He tried to counter the very word God spoke about Jesus. But the Master was smarter; He pushed Satan off with the Word. That’s what you need to do when Satan comes to you with his lies and railing accusations; use the Word against him.
Some Christians sometimes find themselves in a situation where, right after testifying of a miracle or a prophecy they received from the Lord, everything seems to turn upside down. For example, someone received healing and went ahead to testify openly of his miracle. Shortly after, the same symptoms he used to experience came back, and became even more severe. That’s an attack from the enemy, testing your confidence in what God has done in your life. At such times, what you ought to do is to maintain your testimony. You keep your victory shout on and refuse to allow those symptoms to rob you of the healing you’ve received. Overcome the lies of the devil by the word of your testimony!
Prayer:
Dear Father, I thank you for your Word, which is infallible and ever dependable. My confidence is in the Word of God and my heart is established upon the truth of who I am in Christ Jesus – a victor, an overcomer, and one in whom divinity dwells and reigns. I stand firm on the Word today in triumph against the tricks of the devil, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
