Revelation 12:7-12 "War broke out in Heaven. Michael and his Angels fought the Dragon. The Dragon and his Angels fought back, but were no match for Michael. They were cleared out of Heaven, not a sign of them left. The great Dragon—ancient Serpent, the one called Devil and Satan, the one who led the whole earth astray—thrown out, and all his Angels thrown out with him, thrown down to earth. Then I heard a strong voice out of Heaven saying, Salvation and power are established! Kingdom of our God, authority of his Messiah! The Accuser of our brothers and sisters thrown out, who accused them day and night before God. They defeated him through the blood of the Lamb and the bold word of their witness. They weren't in love with themselves; they were willing to die for Christ. So rejoice, O Heavens, and all who live there, but doom to earth and sea, For the Devil’s come down on you with both feet; he’s had a great fall; He’s wild and raging with anger; he hasn't much time and he knows it." (The Message) Don't you see that if you aren't doing anything good in your walk with Christ, Satan won't bother you. He's not trying to defeat you just because you are human. He wants to destroy you because you belong to God. Because he doesn't want you to be successful in Christ. When we are moving in the direction that God has set for us it is then that the opposition begins. Yes sometimes the battles are hard but the victories are worth a whole lot more when you have to fight hard to get it. Now here's the thing. Did you learn something from this battle? Did you acknowledge your mistakes so that you won't repeat them? Did you accept your blame and repent? If you haven't don't any of those things, then beware of the false victory. Especially if you blame others for your trials, because then you are still in the midst of the battle! Evaluate the victory, repent and change! Then you will truly be victorious over the enemy! It is only then that you will own it. Be blessed! C.D.
