Salvation, Power, Kingdom, and Authority

Scripture:

Revelation 12:10 "Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: 'Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Messiah.  For the accuser of our brothers and sisters, who accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled down'."

Observation:

The apostle John saw this scene while in the Spirit and wrote it for us.  He demonstrates that when Satan is thrown down from heaven to earth, the salvation, power, kingdom and authority come in fullness.  This is not a future experience, Satan was thrown down from heaven in what we would call the beginning.  Satan was thrown down to the earth, where he currently causes trouble, but heaven has all authority, power, etc. because he has been thrown down.

Application:

For us, this means that Satan is working hard on the earth today, but God's Kingdom (His reign and rule) is coming in stronger and strong measures here on the earth.  This is why we cry, "Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done".  Satan is already defeated and God's kingdom has all salvation, power, kingdom and authority.  We must be about spreading His rule and reign throughout the earth, defeating Satan at every turn.  We are in a battle, we will win!

Prayer:

Lord God Almighty,  Satan is a defeated foe, help me understand that better and not give him credit he doesn't have.  Help me walk in Salvation, Power, Kingdom and Authority here on earth during my lifetime and then join you there in heaven.  I want to advance your rule and reign throughout the earth.

Your Son,

Jeff
