Today Derek finishes this study on overcoming evil by providing you with several testimonies to add to your arsenal. The blood of Jesus sprinkled in heaven cries out for mercy for YOU. Appropriate it; apply it to your life; and never forget the blood cries out continually for you!

Jesus was crucified outside the city gates of Jerusalem. Why? So that He might sanctify the people through His blood, as the Scripture says. In today’s broadcast, Derek looks at what it means for us to be sanctified, made holy, set apart to God.

Today Derek describes that justification is “to be made righteous.” At the cross, Jesus made an exchange on our behalf. The sinless, spotless, righteous One became our sin and took our judgment. Then He gave us His own righteous, sinless perfection. It’s now just-as-if-we’d never sinned and it comes by faith in Him.

To be fully cleansed from all sin necessitates that we are walking in the light of God and having fellowship with other believers. This is not something that is done once, but it is an ongoing, day by day process that we continue to pursue.

In this second week of looking at how to overcome evil, Derek takes various passages that speak about what the blood of Jesus does for us, and turns them into personal testimonies for us. Through the blood of Jesus, we have been redeemed, our sins have been forgiven. We need to declare this boldly.

Using the pattern of the Old Testament Passover, Derek shows how this is a picture of Jesus, the Lamb who was sacrificed, and he brings out the importance of Jesus’ shed blood. The personal application of this truth comes when we testify about what the Word of God says the blood of Jesus does for us.

Derek focuses on weapons of warfare, not only on the basis of Scripture, but proven from his own experience. From Revelation 12:10–11 he begins a look at the blood of the Lamb, the Word of God, and the testimony of believers. These weapons are used for final victory and are available for us today.

Because of Jesus’ death and resurrection—His total defeat of Satan—we have been delivered out of the power of darkness. Jesus has given us authority over all of Satan’s forces, and we have been sent forth to administer His victory. Since we are in the kingdom of God, we have the authority of God vested in us.

How does Satan work against us? Today we look at some of the main ways, by keeping in mind his various names: adversary, the great dragon, serpent, murderer, and liar, among many others. Each one shows a facet of the ways Satan works against us.

Today begins a study about our conflict with evil. Derek reveals the truth of our situation—that we are dealing with someone, not something. That someone is Satan, who has a rival kingdom in the heavens. Our enemies are persons without bodies; we can’t see them, but we need to know how to deal with them.
