“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.
