How do we overcome the devil? In the book of Revelation we are introduced to a group of believers who are able to do that: “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”

They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb. The next time the devil tempts you to think that you are not worthy to approach God, here is what I advise: Agree. Say, “You are right. I am not worthy to approach God. I never was worthy to approach God. I never will be worthy to approach God. My access to God’s presence is not based on my worthiness; it is based on what Christ did for me on the cross.”

Sometimes we feel we are losers, we get into the mentality as Christians that if we are doing well spiritually, then we can approach God in prayer. If we read four chapters from the Bible, pray for an hour, and share our faith with someone, then we think we can approach God. But if the next day we sleep in and don’t read the Bible, if we forgot to say grace over our meals and didn’t share our faith, then we think we are not worthy to approach Him. My brothers, be aware that it is the trick of the Devil.

We are worthy not because of what we have done, but because of Christ’s sacrifice on the cross that has redeemed us from our sins so that we are sanctified before God. So every time you are attacked by the Devil through the mind that you are not worthy, declare that you have been set free from sins and death because of Christ’s sacrifice on the cross.

 

Be the living testimony that declares that through God’s grace we have been saved; not through our good deeds or efforts.
