The enemy’s voice has no place in the court of heaven.
Silencing the Accuser
Revelation 12:10-11 NKJV—[10] 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. [11] 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.
The accuser is cast down! His voice holds no sway. The enemy’s words have no power or authority over a believer. What may have held authority before the cross is now demolished by the death of Jesus on the cross. This means that Satan has no right to accuse you before your Heavenly Father. Even if he tries, he is immediately ejected from the courtroom.
The judge cries out, “false evidence!” God recognizes those who are covered by the blood of the Lamb. He knows that you have accepted the sacrifice of Christ that brings ultimate freedom. No longer will you be brought under the condemnation of the devil, because there is no condemnation for those who live in Jesus.
How do you and I overcome? Through the blood of the Lamb. His blood covers us and renews us. We become established as new creations through His name and our faith in Him. We must, however, remember that this is a covenant. God does His part, and we do ours.
Our part of the covenant agreement is coming into alignment with the truth. Scripture calls it the “word of their testimony.” What are you saying about yourself on a regular basis? Does what comes out of your mouth agree with what the Word of God says about you? If not, you are out of alignment with the truth.
New Age teaching would lead us to believe that we can say whatever we want and simply claim it, and it will happen. They try to mimic the principles of the Bible regarding our words. However, we cannot just say whatever we think and have it happen to us. The scriptural principles of our words and our testimony only hold authority when our words align with His words.
We are not just declaring something; we are (re)declaring what the Lord has said. His words are spirit and life. When you speak your testimony—words of spirit and life—you cannot help but see change in your life. Our testimony of the truth doesn’t mean the enemy will stop trying to get into our head. He will still whisper his lies to you, but you can choose to silence him through the truth.
Let’s agree in prayer:
Jesus, I come into agreement with what Your word declares over me. I am healed. I am free. I am saved. I am more than a conqueror. You are the judge over my life. As I come into agreement with You, authority is released and strongholds are broken. Thank You, Lord, for giving me the power to overcome darkness by walking in the light of Your words. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
