GREATER IS HE…IN US
I grew up in a small Pentecostal church where almost every evening service included a time for testimonies. It was normal that nearly every person in that group of 15-25 would stand up and give a testimony, albeit a short one.
How short? For example, “Praise God, I am saved, sanctified, and filled with the Holy Ghost!” That was a statement of victory.
But I have also heard, “The devil has been after me all week, praise God!” That usually gave an impression of defeat, or at least of pessimism. That is, unless they added something like, “but I have overcome him.” This would then line up with the scripture in 1 John 4:46 which says, [NKJV] “…greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.”
We have power [authority] over the devil and his dark demonic forces because of the life if Christ within us. We are in Him, and He has all power in heaven and earth given to him by the Father. Therefore, that same power dwells in us through him.
Satan’s greatest fear is most likely that a believer realizes that they have that power and then actually uses it. His warning to his demons at the morning hour of rising could very well be something like this: “O no, guys! Watch out! She is waking up!”
Unfortunately, most believers wake up thinking of their agenda of daily activity instead of advancing onto Satan’s ground.
Let us take our offensive spiritual warfare more seriously. Then we will have a real testimony.
