Revelation 12:11 ‘And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death’
DAILY READING – Revelation 13; Esther 3; Psalm 106
Glacia Robinson is a multi-award winning singer, songwriter, producer, worship leader and author.
She has a powerful testimony of divine healing where she was literally snatched from the jaws of death.
She was sick for five and a half years, with an illness that could not be diagnosed by doctors in Jamaica and the US.
The effects of the sickness made her so weak that she was confined to a wheelchair.
It got so bad that she could not even digest water with her weight falling to below 90 pounds. Doctors said she would never walk again, and never sing again.
Though she virtually lost everything, yet she never lost hope in God. Eventually, the doctors gave up on her and said that there was nothing more they could do.
They asked her to go home, make peace with everyone and get ready to die.
They advised her family to put everything in order for her funeral.
Many people indeed believed that she could never survive the sickness and rumours started flying about that she was already dead.
Through it all, Robinson clung to her faith in God. She had to constantly fight negative voices in her mind that told her she would never recover and would certainly die.
She continued to declare
Psalm 118:17 “I shall not die, but live to declare to the works of the Lord.”
Despite the odds, she held on to prayers. She told God, ‘Lord, I know that You have a plan for my life…this is not how my end is going to look!”
God indeed answered her prayers and miraculously healed her.
By 2016 Robinson had defied all the doctors’ predictions. She was walking and back to her singing career.
Since then, she has
produced five albums including the title – “I Shall Live,
Today, her ministry extends into international missions, as she goes about testifying about God’s amazing deliverance power.
Revelation 12:11 says ‘And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death’
Indeed, through the power of God’s Word and the Blood, we will always overcome in every battle.
We engage God’s power for our deliverance through declarations of faith. In every situation, we must always think in line with God’s Word.
It doesn’t matter what the facts or the experts may say, God’s Word is always superior to man’s opinion.
Through declaring God’s Word we are able to win the battles the enemy often wages against our minds.
In 1 Samuel 17, Goliath, constantly attacked the minds of the Israelites, with negative words, intimidating them. His tactics worked because the Israelites fled before him each time he appeared. And for 40 days the Israelites were tormented, intimidated, worried and living in fear of Goliath. But then David showed up with a different mindset.
Instead of listening silently to Goliath’s harassing word, David fired back with words of faith. He declared he would bring down Goliath’s head in the Name of the Lord, and that was exactly what happened.
Indeed, through the Blood and the Word of our testimony, we can always bring down the head of every Goliath mocking our destiny.
Instead of listening passively to the negative words of the enemy, we need to attack back in faith with God’s Word.
Today, if the enemy has been attacking your mind with thoughts of fear, trying to intimidate and discourage you, counter that attack by declaring God’s counsel over your life. Whatever you may be confronted with today, in your health, family or finances rise up and begin to engage the weapon of the Blood against that evil attack.
Indeed, as we engage the weapon of Christ’s Blood and His Word, every tongue that shall rise against us in judgment shall be condemned. Truly by the Blood our victory is always guaranteed in every battle of life.
PRAYER: Lord, I thank You today, that I have victory by the Blood of Jesus, indeed today I declare that no weapon formed against me shall prosper and every tongue that shall arise against me in Judgment is already condemned in Jesus Name.
