*** [This morning I'm going to deal with something that's extremely practical.] *** [What I have described to you is true.] *** ((It's wonderful.)) *🔴** [But in a certain sense you don't necessarily know how to make it real in your life and your experience.] *** (This morning I’m going to teach on how to appropriate the blood of Jesus.) *** [How to get the full effects of the blood of Jesus working in your life.] *** [And by way of introduction I want to read] ***this again 🔴 it deals with
The end time ***The great tribulation *** the end time
* 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. ***
*** {this is speaking about what I believe to be a great end-time conflict,} *** [That lies ahead at the close of the present age.] ***🔴 ((A conflict in which heaven and earth are involved.)) *** *🔴** ((The angels of God are involved.)) *** [Satan and His angels are involved.] *** [And God’s believing people on earth are involved.] *** 🩸🩸((Thank God that the victory goes to God and to His people.)) **✝️✝️* {And this passage describes how the people of God on earth,] *** [God’s believing people on this earth, *** play their part in obtaining that victory.] ***
🔴{It’s a statement made by the angels. **🔴* But it’s made about the believers on earth.} ***
*** [And it says, we’re in] **🔴** 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. ***
**number 1:🩸* {they overcame him.} *** (Who is they?) ***⚔️ (They is people like you and me,) *** *🔴** (Believers in Jesus Christ.) *** [the son of the only son of god] ***
🔴*** (Who is him?) *** [Satan,] *** [That’s right.] ***
*** (That’s very important and you seeJ) ***
🩸{That shows very clearly that there can be direct conflict between us and Satan.} ***
*🩸🩸** [There’s no one else in between.] *** It says *** [They overcame him.]***🩸🩸 HOW DID THEY DO IT *** ((And then it tells us how they overcame him.)) *** Here it is***
🔴[By the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony.] **🔴🔴*
**🩸👑* ((And it also adds what kind of people they were.)) *** {they loved not their lives unto the death.} *🔴🔴🩸** ((To say it in one wordJ) *** [they were committed,] *** [totally committed.] ***
*🩸🩸👑** {And that’s the only kind of Christian that frightens Satan.}*** 🔴(The devil doesn’t care how many times you go to church) *** [He doesn’t care if you sing in the chair] *🔴** [He doesn’t care if you teach a class] **🔴* [He doesn’t care if you are a preacher] ***
😇**number 1: * [As long as you are not committed to god] *** (They stayed alive or not.) *** (Staying alive wasn’t the most important thing for them.) ***
*** ((The most important thing was to be faithful to the Lord and to do His will.)) ***🔴
🔴🔴sometimes we come to church with everything else on our mind🩸🩸but worshiping god 👑👑👑
🔴 I have seen some play on their phone 📱
🔴 play games 🔴 play on Facebook 🔴 visiting with each other instead of worshipping the lord🩸🩸

*🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸** (you see,) ***🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸
🩸{We talk about being soldiers in the Lord’s army,} **📕* [But I think a lot of us really have got a very vague] *** {Idea about ***📕 what it is to be a soldier. In the lord’s army] **🩸* [And let me tell you one thing.] *** 🔴⚔️[You don’t get a nice little certificate from the commanding officer saying:] *****🩸⚔️* [We guarantee you you’ll never have to lose your life.] ***
**🩸⚔️* [No soldier has ever joined an army on the condition that he will not be killed.] ***
*🩸⚔️** In fact, *** [In a certain sense,]***🔴 (Any time a soldier joins an army *🩸⚔️** one of his commitments isJ) *** {{I may be killed.}} *** (It may cost me my life.) ***
**🩸🩸🩸🩸* {And it’s just the same in the Lord’s army.} **🩸🩸🩸🩸*
****(🔴 in a army you have not only comment 🔴** you have structure 🔴 you have dedication 🔴**organizaTion for without it can not function ****🔴🔴🔴function
🔴🔴*** [You’ve got no guarantee that you will not have to lay down your life.] ***
⚔️🩸*** [Steven did he was stoned to death.] **🩸⚔️* [some were crucified] ***🩸⚔️ [many have lost their lives] ***🩸⚔️ [but I like what Steven said as he was dying ***⚔️🔴 he said I see Jesus standing at the father right hand]***
🔴🔴*** (The people that Satan fears are those who are not afraid to lay down their life.) ***
*** [After all,] **🔴* (Life is comparatively brief anyhow.) *** The bible says ***
😇😇🩸🩸*** James 4:14 Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. ***
🔴*** (It’s not going to go on forever and it’s not all a bed of roses,) **🔴* (It would be foolish to miss eternal glory) *🩸** (for the sake of a few brief years on earth.) ***🩸 [To have a proper sense of value] ***🩸 [of what is more important.] ***🩸 (I believe that we should sayJ) **🩸* {for me the most important thing in life is to do the will of God.}****
*** (There’s a wonderful statement) ***
😇😇🔴 1 John 2:17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: **** but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. ***
🩸*** (The world passes away and the lust thereof, but he that doeth the will of God abideth forever.) ****
🩸*** [When you unite your will] **🩸😇* [with the will of God in total commitment] ***
🔴{You become unsinkable. **🩸* You’re undefeatable.🩸 *** You’re unshakable.} **🩸* Just like Steven***🩸 just like Paul**😇😇* and that’s what god wants for your life ***
To be
***🔴 (You’re as totally sure as God’s will) *🔴** [When you identify yourself with God's will.] ***
**🔴⚔️* {Whether you live or die is of secondary importance,} *** [the only thing that matters is doing gods will] ***
*** [But you cannot be defeated.] ***
**🔴👑* (I want to consider what it means to overcome Satan by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of our testimony.) ***🩸⚔️* [There’s no way you could put a price on this.] *** (You could offer millions of dollars, ***🩸 but it wouldn’t be sufficient.)) *** ((I want to say it very simply and I trust I’ll make it clear.)) *** [Listen carefully.] ***

*** ⚔️⚔️🩸{We overcome Satan when we testify personally to what the word of God says the blood of Jesus does for us.} ***
🔴(I am talking about what was accomplished for us by the death of Jesus Christ as the sacrifice for sin, on the cross.) *🔴**Revelation 12:11: They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony. *****🔴🔴*[You remember what we said? ] ***🔴 [We overcome Satan when we testify personally to what the word of God says the blood of Jesus does for us.] *** **🔴* (What is it that gets the blood from the basin to where we live?) *🔴** (Our testimony,) **🔴* [that’s right.] **🔴🔴* {Testimony is a very simple thing.} ***🔴🔴 {It’s just saying a few words according to the Scripture.} **⚔️😇* (but it saves us. *** ⚔️😇It’s our protection.) ***
**🔴🔴* {I cannot overemphasize for you here the importance of your testimony.} ***
***🔴🔴 (So whether you call it testimony or whether you call it confession,) ***🔴 [it is absolutely indispensable for you to receive the salvation of God.] *** 🔴[Jesus said by your words you will be justified.] *** [And by your words you will be condemned.] ***🔴 [You settle your destiny by the words you speak.]🔴 *🔴🔴🔴 ** [James said:] ***🔴🔴🔴
⚔️🩸🤑🐍{The tongue is like the rudder on a ship.} *🩸** {It’s a very small part of the ship,} **🩸* {but it determines exactly where the ship will go.} *🔴** [And we determine the course of our lives by the way we use our tongues.] ***🚢
