How to overcome our spiritual adversary – Revelation 12:11

New King James Version courtesy of BibleGateway.com

The Woman, the Child, and the Dragon

12 Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars. Then being with child, she cried out in labor and in pain to give birth.

And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great, fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads. His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth, to devour her Child as soon as it was born. She bore a male Child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron. And her Child was caught up to God and His throne. Then the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that they should feed her there one thousand two hundred and sixty days.

Satan Thrown Out of Heaven

And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, but they [a]did not prevail, nor was a place found for [b]them in heaven any longer. So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

10 Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven,

 “Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down.11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.12 Therefore rejoice,  O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time.”

The Woman Persecuted

13 Now when the dragon saw that he had been cast to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male Child. 14 But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent. 15 So the serpent spewed water out of his mouth like a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood. 16 But the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the flood which the dragon had spewed out of his mouth. 17 And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus [c]Christ.

  1. Revelation 12:11: “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.”

    It doesn’t matter if every demon in Hell is unleashed on the earth. We have the Blood of Jesus and the word of our testimony. The Blood of Jesus gives us access to the Father, to the Throne Room of Grace. The Blood of Jesus gives us access to the Holy Ghost Fire. When the Holy Ghost Fire falls on us, Satan’s hold on us is destroyed, bondage is broken. The anointing breaks the yoke of sin.

    In the Book of Judges, Samson held a jawbone of an ass in his hand and, in the power of the Holy Ghost, killed a thousand Philistines. In the New Testament, WE ARE THE JAWBONE OF AN ASS: the Lord wields us and uses us and places us in certain places in the earth; the Holy Ghost Fire falls and Satanic strongholds are destroyed.

    Psalm 110:2: “The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.”

    Zion, in the New Testament sense of the word, is the Presence of God, the Holy Ghost Fire. The Lord shall send the rod of your strength out of the Presence of God. No demon from Hell can stand or come near the Holy Ghost Fire.

    II Thessalonians 1:8-10: “In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.”

    “WHEN HE SHALL COME TO BE GLORIFIED IN HIS SAINTS.” The Lord needs his blood-washed sons and daughters in the earth, so that He can glorify our bodies (temples) with the Holy Ghost Fire. This is how the wicked are exposed and judged in the earth.

    In the Old Testament, and external fire and brimstone came down and destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. In the New Testament, an internal Holy Ghost Fire comes through His saints to judge the wicked.

    Hebrews 10:31: “It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.”
