And they have conquered him by the Blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death (Revelation 12:11)
OVERCOMING SATAN
Overcoming Satan is only possible through completely abiding in the Love of God.
If we choose the Way of Christ Love, Satan is nihilated in us. Satan is made nothing.
The energies that Satan has appropriated from us in our choices contrary to Divine Love are returned to us sanctified.
And, we are drawn nearer to God in our original, primordial Self as the finite Body of Christ.
We must choose the Fear of God, and abide in absolute
concern for Love rather than self.
We must choose the Wrath of God, and express the courage of the heart to abide in Love rather than in self-centered hatred and fear.
We must choose the Joy of God, and express thanksgiving for the grace and blessings of Divine Love rather than giving in to self-centered despair.
And, we must absolutely release in the Humility of God to Divine Love as True Life rather than arrogantly seeking our own path.
This is the Way of True Faith, faith based on our personal experience of Christ Love as True Life and True Divinity.
This is the Way of True Hope, hope based on our personal experience of the power of Divine Love to heal, transfigure and resurrect us!
God is Love; whosoever abides in Love abides in God, and God abides in that person (1 John 4:16)
