The Daily Word of Righteousness

The Ruler, #38

And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, (Revelation 1:5)

When the wisdom, power, and prophetic utterance of the Spirit of God flow in power and glory through the saint, all the works of Satan will be shaken and dissolved. Satan himself will be bound and cast down from his position of rulership over the earth. The material creation will be released from the chains of darkness and corruption. In Christ the Divine curse will be lifted from the creation of God.

All Divine Testimony is of the Holy Spirit of God. Both the righteousness and the power of the Kingdom of God, and the resulting peace, are all of the one Holy Spirit.

The Lord Jesus Christ is the only true Witness of God. In Christ we behold the righteous Character and deeds of God Almighty. From Christ we hear the Divine call to repentance. We learn of the love and forgiveness of God through Christ, and of the coming fierce wrath of God.

In Christ we behold the works of Divine power and glory. In Christ we behold eternal wisdom and knowledge. From Christ we hear the Word of eternal Life, the Word of the Spirit of God. In Christ we observe the fullness of the Glory of the seven Spirits of God who abide eternally before the throne of the Lord God of Heaven. This is the true testimony of God.

We overcome the accuser of the brothers by the blood of the Lamb, by the perfect Divine righteousness that covers every true child of God. We overcome also by the word of our testimony—the living Word that shows forth the salvation of God, the righteousness of God, the will of God, to the heavens and to the earth.

The end result of the demonstration by the Holy Spirit of the salvation, the righteousness, the power, the will of God to the heavens and the earth, is the forcing of Satan down from his spiritual rulership and the casting of him into the earth.

Satan cannot be conquered when the Church is unrighteous, unholy, or disobedient to God. Satan cannot be conquered when the Church is performing works of human talent, human wisdom, and human strength.

Satan cannot be conquered when the Church is speaking from human intelligence and education—even education in the Scriptures. Satan cannot be conquered other than through the fruit of the Spirit and the gifts of the Spirit.

Satan cannot be conquered other than by the Divine prophetic testimony of Christ coming forth through the wisdom and power of the Spirit of God through the remnant of the woman's Seed "which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ" (Revelation 12:17). Only Divine truth can conquer the lie that Satan is.
