The Best Defense
Revelation 12.7-12
“The best offense is a good defense.”
Is Christianity offensive or defensive in nature?
“They overcame him …” (Revelation 12.7-12; esp. v11)
… by the blood of the Lamb .
… by the word of their testimony .
… by not loving their lives to the death.
The Battle Is the Lord’s!
David and Goliath is a classic, beloved Old Testament event.
David has no physical armor or protection – he uses unusual weapons.
He knows the battle is the Lord’s. (1 Samuel 17.26, 34-37, 40, 45-50)
Slaying modern day giants
Today, we fight against the army of Satan.
We have no physical armor or protection – we, too, use unusual weapons.
We can overcome Satan with the blood , our testimony , and sacrifice .
The requirement is not so much for self -discipline as for self - denial .
What about us?
True discipleship demands self -denial.
We must quit praying for painless growth!
We must give God permission to do as He pleases!
Count the cost before making a commitment .
God takes our commitments seriously!
We must give Him our heart , and take up His cross.
