So... Today is 12/11, and that reminds me of one of my all-time favorite verses and one of my all-time favorite preaching points, which I call “The Great Reversal!”
Revelation 12:11 is a part of a portion of Scripture that flashes forward in time and gives us a picture of how the Church defeats our ultimate enemy, Satan.
It says: “And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, and (because) they did not love their life even when faced with death.”
Revelation 12:11 NASB http://bible.com/100/rev.12.11.nasb
Here’s the deal... We are the “they” of this passage! We are the Church, and this is how we win! Not just in the future, but in and through every day, right here, right now. All we have to do is... LIVE in the covering of the Blood of Jesus (Salvation), SHARE our Story of how Jesus has saved us and is saving, guiding and leading us day by day (Testimony), and CHOOSE to FEARLESSLY give our lives away for the Salvation of others choosing to NOT be AFRAID of anything man or this world can do to us (Selflessness).
Oh Church... if We will live out these three things, this World that we live in will truly be turned upside down, instantaneously!
But... the reality is this, “We” always begins with “Me”! So... TODAY, I dare ya! Live out loud this “Great Reversal” and just watch what Jesus can do with you!
