Heaven: The War in Heaven
Saturday, January 18, 2025 – Day 14
Read Revelation 12
Key Verses:
“So, the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the
whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. 10 Then I heard a loud
voice saying in heaven, “Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His
Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God, day and night, has
been cast down. 11 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.” Revelation 12:9-11 (NKJV)
Key Reflection:
Revelation 12 chronicles the beginning of the end for Satan. He lost his position in heaven and is about
to be bound to the pit of hell. It is his mission to make war with those who have given their testimony of
Jesus Christ and who keep the commands of God; for this is something he could not do. Because of
Christ there is access to God where salvation is enjoyed by those who conquer and overcome by the
blood of the Lamb. It is their testimony that expresses their continuity with Christ. 19

Thought:
Satan is real and the Devil is defeated. He lost in heaven and will lose on earth. He is the fallen angel
who has no authority over you. His reign, which is not truly a reign but more of a lease from God, is
coming to an end. He knows this and so should you. Because of your connection and devotion to Christ,
you have overcome. And you will continue to overcome by the blood of Jesus and the power of your
testimony. Keep speaking about what Christ has done in you and for you.
Prayer:
Lord, I believe you are God. You are the victorious King. Thank you for delivering me from the hand of
the enemy. I reject every accusation of the enemy and take up the banner of truth that I overcome
because of your blood and the truth of what you have done for me. In the face of adversity, I vow to be
strong in you as I proclaim that salvation and strength is yours. The devil is defeated, and I belong to
Christ. In the name of the King who is Jesus I pray, Amen.
Questions:
1. What confidence do you have in God that you are victorious?
2. In 2025, what are some ways that you can live a victorious life in Christ?
