What is your Testimony?
His blood is so powerful that
through it, the Righteous Judge and Most high God was brought on the side of
man against the Evil one. Through His cross, man was delivered from the
principle that makes him to continue to do wrong and by His presence we are
guaranteed protection.
and they did
overcome him because of the blood of the Lamb, and because of the word of their
testimony, and they did not love their life--unto death (Rev 12:11).
Why and how
did they overcome him (the devil) via the blood? Was it because the devil
wanted to destroy their lives? NO.
The scriptures give us the clue. We believers have two basic accusers before God: the devil (Rev 12:7 - 10) and Moses (i.e. the law - John 5:45). These two accusers work together as one in the sense that the dragon (the devil) uses Moses (symbol and epitome of the law) to accuse us before God. God is Righteous and impartial, full of justice, and can execute judgment on anyone affected (remember He could not spear His own Son because of the sins of the world). But because of the BLOOD OF JESUS, God is placed on our side, making our accusers powerless. Remember in Heb 12:24, the blood of Jesus is compared to the blood of Abel (Gen 4:10,11): while the voice of the blood of Abel made God to curse Cain and the ground, the blood of Jesus speaks better things.

My Brothers, the
BLOOD of JESUS has placed God on our side but for our victory to be complete,
what is our testimony? What we confess could encourage the accuser or could condemn
his accusation.
