This Is How We Overcome

"And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb..." Rev. 12:11

"We must take our sins to God! The Christian, when he sins, thinks that he must fight this battle for himself,wrestle with his own evil temper himself, and he himself must enter into conflict with his lusts and his besetting sins. But when he comes into the fight, he soon meets with a defeat, and then he is ready to give it all up. Take your sins to God, my brethren!

Take them to the cross that the blood may fall upon them, to purge away their guilt, and to take away their power.

Your sins must all be slain. There is only one place where they can be slaughtered-the altar where your Savior died.

If you would flog your sins, flog them with the whip that tore your Savior's shoulder. If you would nail your sins fast, drive the same nails through them which fastened your Lord to the cross. I mean, let your faith in the great Surety, and your love to Him who suffered so much for you, be the power with which you do conflict with evil.

It is said of the saints in heaven, "They overcame through the blood of the Lamb." That is how you must overcome.

Go to Jesus with your sins! No one else can help you! You are powerless without Him!

The most sinful are welcome to Christ. If your sin has become so outrageous that it were wrong for me to mention it; if it has become so tremendous in its power, that, like the chain and ball at the convict's foot, you cannot escape from it, yet still come with all your sins to Jesus!" Spurgeon

God sure is great! So great in fact that He wants us to turn to Him for help! Yet we rarely do until things seem out of control...
But this passage argues that we don't overcome by our power, we overcome by the blood of the lamb, Jesus Christ. If this is in fact true, and you say you love God, then rest in Him, seek refuge in Him, and through Him overcome your sins!
With love,
Jesse
