Jesus is Victorious!

Revelation 13
What stands out today Father is the intensity of hatred the devil has against you and your children.
: 17 Then the dragon was enraged at the woman and went off to make war against the saints-those who obey God’s commandments and hold to the testimony of Jesus.
13:1… He had ten horns, and on each head a blasphemous name
:5 the beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies..
: 6 He opened his mouth to blaspheme God and to slander His name and His dwelling place and those who live in heaven.

The devil was speaking evil even against heaven, where God dwells. And since the Word also says “those who live in heaven”, perhaps he is still enraged because he had lost the battle for the souls of many that he had fought so hard for. Perhaps he is furious that You extend grace to some even in the last moments of their life.

Truly he hates the fact that there are “myriads and myriads” in heaven that worship You, our Mighty God:
Rev 5:11 And I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne and the living creatures and the elders; and the number of them was myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands.

Seeing this only makes me to know even more how powerful and victorious my Savior, our Lord Jesus is!
Rev 5:12 “Worthy is the Lamb that was slain
To receive power and riches and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing.

: 13 And EVERY (I’m sure this really makes the enemy mad!) created thing which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and the sea, and all things in them, I heard saying,
To Him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb
Be blessing and honor and glory and dominion forever and ever.”


Yes, Jesus has already won the war, it is finished, and “I am “raised up with Him and seated with Him in the heavenly places, in Christ Jesus.” Eph 2:6 What a glorious Savior we have!

Eph 1:22 And He put all things in subjection under His feet, and gave Him as head over all things to the church.
We need never to fear the devil; we need only (Hebrews 12:2) to keep “our eyes on Jesus the author and perfecter of our faith”….Jesus is Lord!

I am so grateful to You Father for having the privilege of being Your child!
