Title - "The Accuser"

Text- Rev 12:10-11

1. Our Snitch

Satan has access to heaven

Satan is our accuser

His target - our heart, conscience

His tactics - guilt and shame

When Satan talks to you about God, he lies.

When he talks about you to God he tells the truth.

Satan does not accuse without reason.

We must learn the difference between the devils accusations and the Holy Spirits conviction.

The devil-is aggressive, blames, tells you that you have no hope and uses guilt and shame.

The Holy Spirit- is gentle, uses the Word of God in love to point out sin, offers grace, love and reminds you that there is always hope.

2. Our Savior

Jesus is our advocate

An advocate is a person who comes to our aid or pleads our case to a judge. Jesus is our defense (lawyer)

Jesus does not defend us by telling the Judge (the Father) what we didn’t do wrong and what we did right.

He reminds the Father what He did for us!

Jesus has the authority- to not only show us our faults but also offer forgiveness for them and from them.

Remember, we take away the devils power to defeat us, with his continuous accusations, by admitting our guilt to God and then accepting God’s love, mercy and amazing grace!

There is power in LOVE (the blood of the Lamb) Jesus died in our place because of His great love for us!

There is power in your LANGUAGE (their testimony) Declare the devil is a liar and that Jesus is Lord!

There is power in LOYALTY (were not afraid to die) You must be ALL in!
