A war broke out in heaven. Michael and his angels were fighting against the dragon and its angels. But the dragon lost the battle. It and its angels were forced out of their places in heaven and were thrown down to the earth. Yes, that old snake and his angels were thrown out of heaven! That snake, who fools everyone on earth, is known as the devil and Satan. Then I heard a voice from heaven shout, "Our God has shown his saving power, and his kingdom has come! God's own Chosen One has shown his authority. Satan accused our people in the presence of God day and night. Now he has been thrown out! Our people defeated Satan because of the blood of the Lamb and the message of God. They were willing to give up their lives. The heavens should rejoice, together with everyone who lives there. But pity the earth and the sea, because the devil was thrown down to the earth. He knows his time is short, and he is very angry."
Revelation 12:7-12
The Battle that you are having with Satan right now is part of a War that began long ago when the Dragon and his angels were thrown out of Heaven!
God threw Satan out of Heaven and banished him to earth, where the struggle continues to this day. When Jesus died on the Cross He paid the price for Sin. Jesus' death and resurrection made Satan powerless to defeat those who are Christ Followers!
The Holy Spirit empowered Christians to engage the Enemy and stop him at every turn!
So don't think it strange that you are still battling the Devil. When you decided to follow Jesus, you signed up to fight in the Battle of Eternity. The Good News is that the Winner of the War was decided when Jesus gave Himself for you. And the End of all War is now in sight! Come quickly Lord Jesus!
"Lord Jesus, thank You for letting me be a soldier in the War that will come to an end when You come to earth again! Praise Your Holy Name now and forever. Amen."
