Give Your Testimony To The Devil
December 27, 2016
Where should you give your testimony? You should give your testimony to the devil. “They overcame him [the devil] by the word of their testimony.” (Revelation 12:11)
You may wonder, what do you mean, “give your testimony to the devil?” Well, just tell him who you are. And when he comes against you with lies and insinuations, tell him that he is a liar. Tell him, “My Savior said you are a liar.”
Declare to him:
“I’m not going to argue with you. I’m not going to plead with you. I’m not going to wrestle with you. I’m going to give you the Word of God, which is the word of my testimony: My sins are under the blood of Jesus Christ. I am saved and I am inhabited by the Holy Spirit. First Corinthians 6:19 says my body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, which I have of God. You, Satan, are trespassing on my Father’s property, and in the name of Jesus, be gone.”
You may wonder if you can speak to him that way. Some people think that sounds like praying to the devil. I‘m not praying to a cat when I say “Scat!”
Friend, the Bible says to resist the devil and he will flee from you. How? Calvary’s conquest—the word of their testimony.

Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
