Speaking Truth

     And I heard a loud voice in Heaven saying, "Now the salvation of God and the authority of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brothers, has been thrown down, who accuses them day and night before our God.  And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even into death.  Therefore, rejoice, O heavens and all who dwell in them!  But wow to you, O earth and sea, for the devil has come down to you in great wrath, because he knows his time is short.
                                                   Rev 12:10-12

"And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb, and the  word of  their testimony"
What is this scripture telling us.  So many things, things that you're local minister may not be telling you.
When Satan was cast from Heaven, he fell to the earth with an attitude!  He started all this stuff, but he hates us with a blind hatred so strong, that he lives to destroy us.  The Bible says he comes not but to steal, kill and destroy.  He's good at it too!  If you don't believe we are in an all  out spiritual war, you are deceiving yourself.
Regardless of  the terrible plans the devil has  for us, God did not  leave us defenceless.  We are well equipped to overcome.  But that we couldn't be called robots,  we have a part to play as well.
God took care of the first part, through he blood of Jesus, he saved us. He gave himself for us as a free gift, not of works less we should boast, as if we deserved it.
Ôur salvation is secure.  God has got his part, of this you can be sure.
For us to insure our victory on earth, while  still walking among the living, our duty is to speak the truth about what Jesus has done to insure our salvation.  Also to let our neighbors know what the Holy Spirit is doing in our life as well as the things he has brought us through so far.
Sometimes we try to clean up ôur story, because we are so ashamed of our past, that we're afraid the church crowd won't accept us.  Unfortunately, this happens.
Then on the other side of the coin, some folks embellish their story, to make they're salvation seem more dramatic.   It's just as bad if not worse.
No matter if you were caught up in crime, abuse, and even pagan worship, or ìf you've never smoked cigarettes, drank liquor, did drugs or stole anything in your life, you were headed straight to hell.  Without Jesus, you were without hope.  Be proud of what he saved you from and share it truthfully.
There is someone out there that needs to hear it!
