“They overcame [the dragon] by
the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony;
and they did not love their lives to the death.”
REVELATION 12:11
Just
as there is no victory without a fight, no Crown without a Cross, so
there is no Testimony without a test. Our Testimony is not a thing that
is said, but it is a LIFE that is lived. We overcome the Dragon by the
word of this Testimony. This Testimony demonstrates the preeminence of
Christ over sin, self, and satan: and it is a violent thing, a proactive
thing, not a passive thing. The Lord’s Testimony is actually
strengthened when the enemy comes against it, for in the end we see that
Christ is, indeed, preeminent. If we are really demonstrating this then
we
should be getting stronger spiritually.
That is not to say we
will always feel good and always have a smile on our face while engaging
the enemy. But regardless of our outward condition, our inward
condition will be continually strengthened as we bear the Testimony of
Jesus.
