Overcoming by the Blood

Reflections And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. (Rev 12:11) These are not three methods by which we overcome. They are all the same Truth. They all point to the fact that we overcome, not by fighting Satan, but by coming under the One in Whom is all victory, Jesus Christ. Practically speaking, this key to all victory in the Christian life is the losing of my life for Jesus’ sake in order to find Him as my life. Jesus said, …

God declares of Himself that He alone is omnipotent, omnipresent, and knows the end from the beginning.

God, having created time for man, has existed in power and majesty for all of eternity, and if you were to compare our current existence, whether you believe our world to …

The Testing of Our Commitment

HEBREWS 11:8-9 8 By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed by going out to a place which he was to receive for an inheritance; and he went out, not knowing where he was going. 9 By faith he lived as an alien in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, fellow heirs of the same promise; In situations when God is testing us, He will teach us new and deeper truths about Himself, His purposes, and His promises. Though we feel stretched in painful seasons, such difficulties are always designed …

The Evidence of God

Reflections If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God that he has testified of his Son. He that believes on the Son of God has the witness in himself…and this is the record that God has given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. (1 John 5:9-11) In this passage, the words, “witness,” “testified,” and, “record,” are all from the same Greek word. We could replace each of them with the word EVIDENCE. Some skeptics demand evidence that Jesus was God and rose from …
