Testimony!
Sunday, February 2nd .
Pastor Chris
How wonderful this is! God’s children overcame
Satan by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of
their testimony. Satan isn’t going to win; he never
has, and never will! His end has been determined
and revealed to us. He may yet have his modus
operandi, which is deception; we also have our
modus operandi against him: the blood of the Lamb,
and the Word of our testimony. How do you use the
blood of Jesus against the adversary?
Some say it’s by “sprinkling the blood,” but that’s
not what the Word teaches. The Lord Jesus showed
us how to use the blood in Luke 22:19-20: “And he
took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given
for you: this do in remembrance of me. Likewisealso the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.” He instructs us to do this in remembrance of Him. 1Corinthians 11:25-26 says, “After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying,This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till he come.” As you partake of the Holy Communion, you’re proclaiming the blood of His death. His blood reconciled us to God, and gave us life. Hebrews12:24 says, “And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.” Stand strong on your faith in the blood of Jesus. That blood speaks your salvation, deliverance, wholeness, perfection, and eternal victory over Satan, sin and death. Therefore, taking the Communion is a celebration of the transcendent life in Christ to which you’ve been called.
Prayer
Dear Father, I thank you for the body of Christ that was broken for me, and His blood that gives me life.
I remember what Christ did and proclaim that I’ll never be broken because He was broken for me.
I’ve been reconciled to God and cleansed from all sin by the power of the blood. I stand my ground in
faith on this truth, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
Further Study: 2 Corinthians 10:4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through
God to the pulling down of strong holds;) ; 1 Corinthians 10:16-17 The cup of blessing which
we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the
communion of the body of Christ? 17 For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all
partakers of that one bread.
