Is Satan real? Absolutely! Does he desire to ruin and destroy the lives of God's people? Absolutely! Are believers in a battle every day to not get caught up in his destructive ways? Absolutely!

One primary way in which the enemy attacks is in our mind. He attacks with accusations. He is the "accuser of our brothers…the one who accuses them before our God day and night." He also accuses us, raising doubts about our faith and the reality of living for Christ. His methods are both subtle and aggressive, obvious and discrete.

Notice how to conquer him in verse 11. First and foremost the work of Jesus. (the blood of the Lamb) Second, the confession of faith. (the word of their testimony) And finally, being faithful even in the face of death. (they did not love their lives even in the face of death) These things are still true today.

Salvation is from Jesus. We need to confess our faith in Him and choose to live for Him boldly even when faced with death.

The battle is real. Prepare to fight today.
