Revelation 12:7-11
I know I put this scripture on here not all that long ago, but it is coming up in everything that I have been learning from God lately. I don't claim to be a master of the understanding of the Book of Revelation, but lately God has been revealing a lot to me from this book. This scripture has been a key scripture in those lessons. We are in the end times. It may happen tomorrow, or it may happen a hundred years from now, but the end will come. As a follower of the King of Kings, it is my responsibility to be obedient to Him. Satan is angry, and wants us to fail in our obedience to God. Satan offers us so many quick fixes, and entices us with so many things to please our flesh, it is not an easy walk. Daily we are faced with decisions to make, we can make the decision to walk with God, or the decision to walk with Satan. There is no other option. We may often disagree with how God handles His business, but He is the creator and owner of this planet, and everything on it. That includes us! Our job is to learn to trust Him, learn His ways, His desires, and follow them. How many times growing up did you not agree with things your parents wanted you to do? Yet, often times they had your best interest in mind. They were imperfect, God is perfect. He does not make mistakes. He is the King, and yet he allows us our free will. He lets us choose the path from our circumstances, at least in the decisions we make. He loves us enough to provide us discipline as His children! We must stand fir till the end, and we must be overcomers! How do we overcome?
Revelations 12:7-11
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.
Satan is here, but as Sons of God, He will give us guidance. He will teach us how to overcome. But realize this...we all die! Each and every one of us. Will you die for a purpose worth while in eternity, or will you die as a waste for Satan? The Bible states that there is a time when the Beast is given the authority to kill the saints of God.
Revelation 13 5-8
The Beast had a loud mouth, boastful and blasphemous. It could do anything it wanted for forty-two months. It yelled blasphemies against God, blasphemed his Name, blasphemed his Church, especially those already dwelling with God in Heaven. It was permitted to make war on God's holy people and conquer them. It held absolute sway over all tribes and peoples, tongues and races. Everyone on earth whose name was not written from the world's foundation in the slaughtered Lamb's Book of Life will worship the Beast.
Is your name written in the Lambs Book of Life? Are you sure?
