GIVE YOUR TESTIMONY TO THE DEVIL?

Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say:
“Now have come the salvation and the power
and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Messiah.
For the accuser of our brothers and sisters,
who accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled down.
They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony;
they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.
Revelation 12:10-11

Have you ever thought about giving your testimony to the devil?
Revelation 12:11 says,
“They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony”.
When we give our testimony to the devil, we tell him who we are.
When he comes against us with lies and insinuations,
we tell him that he is a liar and our Savior said that he is a liar.
We tell him,
“I am not going to argue with you. I am not going to plead with you.
I am not going to wrestle with you. I am going to give you the word of God
which is the word of my testimony. My sins are under the blood of Jesus Christ.
I am saved and I am inhabited by the Holy Spirit.
My body is a temple of the Holy Ghost which I have of God and you, Satan,
are trespassing on my Father’s property and in the name of Jesus, be gone.”
Giving our testimony to the devil is not praying to him,
it’s just reminding him of who he is, who we are, what Jesus said about him,
Who we worship, and how we are commanding him to leave us alone.
The Bible says to resist the devil and he will flee from you.
Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
James 4:7
How do we resist?
By quoting scriptures (as Jesus did) and by our testimony (according to Revelation).
Does that mean a “one and done” effort on our part?
Sorry to say, it does not.
When the devil left Jesus, he looked for more opportunities to bother Him again.
Jesus answered, “It is said: Do not put the Lord your God to the test.”
When the devil had finished all this tempting, he left him until an opportune time.
Mark 4:12-13
If he looked for more ideal circumstances to tempt Jesus,
then certainly he will look for additional opportunities to tempt us
(and we are much weaker than Jesus).

The next time you feel tempted, give your testimony to the devil.
Keep a scripture handy that you can recite.
Then whisper, “Jesus, I trust you”.
We are in a war with a strong opponent, however
God’s Word gives us the ammunition we need,
and the assistance we require to win the battle(s).
Rather than allowing Satan’s attacks to discourage you,
rely on God’s promises to give you encouragement to fight and win!
