Revelations 12:11 "And they overcame him by the blood of the lamb, and the word of their Testimony:and they loved not their lives unto death:"
Testimony;From the root word tetis, meaning to witness. Webster says testimony "is a statement of fact,A declaration of truth". Saints the bible is full of testimonies. Filled with statements of facts and truths; Testified of by kings, judges, prophets,priest,Apostles, disciples, and even God himself. It contains testimonies from the greatest of men ,to the lowest of people. we are taught and we teach the many different experiences testified of by those of the bible. But saints to have a powerful testimony of our own, we must experience that which they testified about.( we must have a Red sea deliverence to know he is a way out of no way, must come up against some goliaths to know he will fight your battles, have a damasscus road experience to know you've been born again). To have a powerful testimony, we must be true witnesses, that Jesus is the Christ the son of the living God.See the book of Revelations was written to encourage the lost to seek and find Christ and to encourage believers to endure and perserver thru persecution and suffering, knowing we already have the victory through Jesus Chrsit the captain of our salvation.
See even though the enemy has been defeated he will constantly put your testimony to the test, he'll try your faith, trust and belief in God.Every time you announce your alligence with God the tempter will come along to make a lier out of you.But it says "They overcame him with the blood of the lamb and the power of their testimony" This is past tense we've already won we just have hold on and believe our testimony.By the blood we've bee redeemed, made free, cleansed, washed ,and saved. Jesus has paid it all, the charges has been dismissed.We over came by the blood of Christ and our witness about Christ, our confession that he is the son of God.The word of your testimony , a great weapon of war, your testimony breaking down strongholds, and defenses of the devil, your testimony carrying you thru the trails of life reminding you of the power of God,( your red sea experience ,reminding you he is a way out of no way, your new birth conviencing you ,that you can do all things thru Christ that strengthens you). The power of your testimony giving you the courage and patience to endure the suffering, the strength to stand during the trails and tribulations of this life and and the power to convience a dying world that Jesus is the Christ the power of God unto salvation.
