The jury finds the defendant to be not guilty of the charges brought before them. The judge then thanks the jury for their time, bangs the gavel, and adjourns the court. As a teenager, one of the professions that bounced around my formative mind was an attorney. We can blame Matlock, Perry Mason and The People's Court.
Do you realize that you are a threat to the kingdom of darkness and evil forces? That is why the devil is working so hard to take you out. Trust me, if he could have taken you out, you would have been gone a long time ago. Think about it, the accident in which your car was totaled, but you walked away, the infirmity, visit to the hospital and bad doctor's report, the death of a loved one, which still feels like it was just yesterday, and let's not forget the time(s) you thought that you had lost your mind.
Unlike God, the devil is not an omniscient being, but he has enough limited knowledge to know that God has great things in store for you and your future. That in turn, will make you a blessing to many generations. He gets mad at that very thought. The very fact that you woke up today is a threat to him. He already has tricks and snares set up to throw you off from your true potential. But thanks be to God who causes us to triumph in all things, that old devil is a liar and a defeated foe.
Did you know that in Hebrew, satan means accuser? In the NIV Bible Revelation 12:10 says. Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: "Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ. For the accuser of our brothers, who accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled down. Remember, if you are in Christ, your past won't last. Satan is the accuser of the brethren (sisters included). It is his job to prosecute you before the The True and Righteous Judge. Although satan was cast down from heaven he still has access to God, otherwise, how could he accuse us? Read the first couple chapters of Job. Every time you see Job's name, insert your name, and watch the word work.
As satan is our lead prosecutor, remember that Jesus is our leading defense attorney, he's already paid the debt for us, as we stand before the heavenly court chambers. The accuser of the brethren may have an airtight case against you, but the blood of Jesus acquits you from all his accusations. Know that when you are cross examined, the ultimate truth will come forth. You are a new creature in Christ, embrace your acquittal and rock the world and his kingdom.
Peace,
