Revelation 12:11
THEY OVERCAME HIM BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB
This is not some magic power. This is Spiritual Authority!
When the angel of death was let loose in Egypt, on that fateful night, he had total authority over life and death. He would kill all the firstborn. That was his remit. However, there was a higher Authority. That Authority stated that when you see the blood of the Passover Lamb you will "pass over" that household. The angel of death 'recognised' the blood of the Lamb. So it is with our enemy.
He has been allowed a certain level of authority - all usurped, of course - but, nevertheless, he has been granted a small level of authority. He wields it indiscriminately and to the full and succeeds in reaping his havoc whenever we allow him to. But, just as he found with Job, he can only test us up to a point and beyond that he is totally powerless.
The Bible also shows us, that through that time of testing, not only did Job persevere; not only did his character develop; not only did he come out the stronger and more aware of who God really is - but more than that - the whole time God was with him - putting restrictions on satan, and listening, not only to Job, but to his 'erstwhile' friends too!
God does not abandon His children. He goes through their pain with them, just as He went through Jesus' pain with Him. However, He has done something else. He has given to us freely, not only our salvation, and eternal life - but He has also put two seals upon us. One is His Holy Spirit to strengthen and empower us and the other is the seal of the Blood of the Lamb.
What is sealed by the Blood of the Lamb, satan has no authority over. We may give him 'authority' through our faithlessness, rebellion, and independence as Christians but he can never have total authority, ever again.
The Blood of the Lamb is our authority - not only our protection.
