Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, “Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down. Revelation 12:10

 Ever feel defeated? The guilt of sin and negative events in life are open sores for the Devil to pour his wrath, causing you havoc and question your salvation. Psalm 103:12 tells us that as a Child of God, He has removed our transgressions as far as the east is from the west. Even with that assurance, I sometimes still struggle recalling my failures and let them get me down. Do you battle with these same feelings of guilt?

 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death. Revelation 12:11

 Your and my victory over Satan can’t be won by our good works (for no one is good (Mark 10:18), but only through the shed blood of Jesus Christ. His death on the Roman cross and risen life 3 days later proves He defeated death and the shame that comes from the sins of mankind. Let that thought sink in for a few moments and keep it branded in your mind when the father of lies (Satan) tries to tell you, you aren’t worthy of God’s love and forgiveness. You have victory through Jesus Christ. Your sins are forgiven and the victory has been won! 

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9
