It appears that Satan never wearies of presenting our individual case cunningly and viciously before God day and night in the hopes that God will destroy us. Satan will not be saved through our destruction, but he will receive the satisfaction that one more hated child of God will share his eternal torment.

The brothers of Christ, through the grace of God in Christ, will conquer the accuser—the fiery-red, huge, ancient dragon and his angels.

How can we overcome this dreadful wickedness that is accusing us before our Father day and night?

First, by means of the holy blood of the Lamb. When we place our faith in the blood of the Lamb, abiding under the blood at all times, the legal aspect of our guilt is resolved. The guilt of our sins is forgiven by the Judge of the bench of Heaven because of the justifying authority of the blood.

Apart from the legal authority of the blood of Christ to forgive our guilt in the eyes of Divine Law, we do not have any ability whatever to overcome the accuser and his charges.

Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth [declares to be righteous—free from condemnation]. (Romans 8:33)

God has forgiven the trespasses of His sons on the basis of the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. God Himself in Christ bore away the guilt of our sins. The legal authority of this transaction is supremely, totally conclusive.

No matter what charge the accuser may bring against us, if we have kept ourselves in the love of God, confessing and repenting of our sins as the Holy Spirit has directed us, walking in the light of God's Presence and will, then the blood of Christ continually has been keeping us free from condemnation in the sight of God (I John 1:7-9). The guilt in our record has been expunged, making it as though we never had sinned.

The atoning authority of the blood of Christ forgives our sins in the Presence of God. The covering power of the blood protects us when the Lord is executing judgment against the gods of this world. The life in the blood becomes eternal life in us as we learn to draw our strength from the Lord Jesus.

Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. (John 6:54)

First, we overcome the accuser, the ancient dragon, by the blood of the Lamb.

Second, we overcome the accuser by the word of our testimony.

God has glorified His name in time past, as described in the Scriptures. God will glorify His name again in the end-time, latter-rain, Divine Testimony. The two witnesses, the Head and Body of Christ, under a double anointing of the Holy Spirit, will proclaim the Person, Word, will, and eternal purpose of the Father. The testimony of God is the truth of God. No matter what appears to be true in our life or in our environment, we must hold to the truth of God as it is presented in His holy Word.

To be continued.
