If we live in this world, there will be conflict against Satan. He cunningly uses all tools, including our own flesh, desires, world, environment, friends, relatives, media…etc. However, the keys to fight against him and overcome are the same.
1) Blood of the Lamb: Satan’s strategy to make a disciple feel guilty. Many times, without the assurance of forgiveness, believers are overwhelmed by false guilt. The accusations have no value as against saints as they are cleansed by the blood of Lord Jesus Christ. We are made righteous by the blood of Lord Jesus Christ. (Ephesians 1:7; Colossians 1:14; Hebrews 9:14) Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ should not be considered as a superstitious power or a magical charm, nor literal blood of Jesus. The blood speaks of the historical Lord Jesus Christ who died on behalf of us to receive the sentence of death on Himself from the righteous Father. The blood means the life of Lord Jesus was substituted like that of the Passover Lamb. The blood Of Jesus heals the guilty conscience. (Hebrews 9:14) The blood of Jesus is not a chant. The faith in the death of Lord Jesus Christ.
2) Word of Testimony: Believers are called to be faithful witnesses of Lord Jesus Christ. He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. The Holy Spirit is given to be strong, bold witnesses for our Lord. (Acts 1:8)
3) They loved not their lives: When believers love not their lives, they overcome Satan’s attack or violence. When disciples do not cling to their earthly lives, Satan’s attacks become meaningless. They believe to live is Christ and to die is gain. (Philippians 1:21) For believers, physical lives are not worth being possessed, but given as a sacrifice to the Lord out of love for the Lord. Our body is not considered as worthless as some philosophies teach, instead our body is surrendered to become the Temple of Holy Spirit and Instruments of Righteousness. (I Corinthians 3:16; Romans 6:13)
Am I an overcomer of Sin, World and Satan?
