We examine the concept of testifying about our faith journey and how our personal stories become powerful spiritual weapons against the enemy. The blood of Jesus and our testimonies work together to defeat satanic forces in our lives.• Revelation 12:11 shows believers overcome through the blood of the Lamb and word of their testimony• God doesn't personally battle Satan because they're not equals – our enemies are lightweight to Him• 1 John 5:4 promises that everyone born of God overcomes the world• Sin exposes us but the blood covers us, starting in Genesis with Adam and Eve• Our testimonies demonstrate God's faithfulness despite our failures and shortcomings• Changing your circle can dramatically alter your spiritual trajectory• Personal struggles become powerful testimonies when shared authentically• Romans 8:28 proves all experiences work together for good in God's hands• Survivor's guilt can be healed through understanding God's purpose for your life• Parents' prayers have extraordinary power to protect children in spiritual warfareThe enemy is defeated by the blood of the lamb and the word of our testimony. Don't be ashamed to share what God has brought you through - your story is a weapon that will help defeat the enemy in someone else's life. Welcome To Chosen City Church!

Revelation 12:1-11

Have a listen to reflect on the hope we have in Jesus' victory over darkness and sin!

2 Kings 7-8; 20 Proverbs 25; 66 Revelation 12-13

2 Kings 7-8; Proverbs 25; Revelation 12-13

The readings in Samuel follow the journey of the ark whilst it is in Philistine possession until its return to the covenant people at the "forest of the woods" (Kirjath-jearim see Psalm 132). Firstly in Ashdod Yahweh's supremacy is shown over Dagon the fish god, by its symbolic prostration before Israel's God and finally it being shattered. Following this the inhabitants were plagued with tumours, called emerods, or haemorrhoids in the AV; these tumours seemingly being occasioned by a mice plague. Despairingly the ark is relocated to each of the five chief cities and the plagues of mice and tumours following the pattern. The Philistines were terrified that Israel's God would destroy them and so they devised a scheme to make a trespass offering of gold fashioned after their plagues and to send the ark home. They took two cows, which were still feeding their calves,  and contrary to the natural expectation wend their way to the house of Joshua in Beth-shemesh. Here curiosity overtook the foolish inhabitants who decided, contrary to God's laws, to gaze inside the ark and consequently 70 men died. Like the Philistines the ark was relocated to Kirjath-jearim where it remained for about 90 years before eventually being brought triumphantly by David to its resting place in Jerusalem. The prophet counsels the nation to reconsider its roots- Abraham and Sarah who responded to God in faith and proceeded to live uprightly before Him resulting in immense blessings. Yahweh their Rock stabilised Zion's foundations and those who likewise follow the path of the righteous will see Eden bloom on earth again in Messiah's kingdom; which will extend to the ends of the earth. Verses 4-6 tell of their Sovereign's appeal for Israel to await the revealing of His righteousness. Verses 7-8 describe the LORD's call to His people that His Law may find a home in their hearts, just as the tables of the Law were rightly within the ark of the Covenant. But for those who lived as though God's Word was but stone tablets they would perish with all those who saw the Law as an inflexible and rigid code which they used to judge others: Hebrews 1 verse 9-13. Verses 9-11 speak of the redeemed rousing themselves to embrace the principles of Zion, the mother of all who are faithful. The Almighty Creator appeals to His children in verses 12-16 to acknowledge His omnipotence. Verses 17-20 asks His children to stir themselves up and arouse themselves from their despondent and downcast state. The nation must forget their past persecutions and embrace Yahweh their faithful husband. God will console His people and bring vengeance upon their foes. Verses 21-23 outline that the cup of affliction will pass from Zion to her adversaries. Let us lift our heads knowing that the redeemed will come to Zion with 'songs of everlasting joy'. And One who will bring this to pass cannot fail, for just as He created the foundations of the universe, so He establishes the foundation of each and every faithful believer. Some religious leaders use this 12th chapter of the Apocalypse to assert that there was war in heaven between the angels of God and Satan, which resulted in the expulsion of Satan and his angels to a subterranean location beneath the earth. The chapter proves no such thing. 1) from Revelation 1:1 the events were from John's time forward; 2) most of the symbolism has been used and explained earlier in the book; 3) if a supposed supernatural being deceived the Omniscient Creator (then God cannot be Omniscient); 4) the segment in question makes it abundantly clear that the vision is symbolic - verses 1, 3 use the term "sign" ESV ("wonder" KJV) and the Greek word used means precisely "a representation".; 5) literal war couldn't occur in a place about which Jesus taught us to pray, "Thy will be done on earth, as in heaven" (Matthew 6:10). The heavily pregnant woman was the church about to give birth to its champion, Constantine. The dragon was the old pagan Roman power who was engaged in a life and death struggle with the emerging Trinitarian faction within the Christian power. But the Christians triumphed - Constantine claimed to have seen a vision of a cross and to have heard the words, "in this sign you will conquer". His entire army marched against the pagans with freshly painted crosses on their shields. As we saw in chapter 11 the dominant faction within the christians were trinitarian and sought the destruction of all dissenters. Those protesting the error of the trinitarian Catholic Church - a n early sign of what would arise during the Reformation - fled to the extremities of the Empire seeking respite. However, the defeated forces of the pagan Roman generals made a concerted and valiant attempt to overthrow the believers in Christ. But in this endeavour the pagans failed. Ironically the nominal Christians under Constantine assumed the mantle of the destroyers of true and faithful believers and became themselves the Satan, or opponent, to the true disciples of Christ. Revelation 13 describes the changing centre of persecution as history outworked itself in the course of interactions between church and state. The various beasts of Revelation 13 all share the character of 4th dreadful beast of Daniel 7 - the Romish persecutors of faithful believers in the Lord Jesus Christ. Initially John beheld a beast rise out of the sea (the Mediterranean Sea where he was exiled). The Beast described in verses 1-4 is a composite beast with elements from the beasts of Daniel 7. John sees this Beast being given what appeared to be a mortal wound. This occurred when the gothic kingdom of Odoacer took Rome 476 AD to 535 AD - but the 6th imperial head of Rome was revived with support from the eastern leg capital of Constantinople firstly by Emperor Justinian in the 530s AD and later by Emperor Phocus 609 AD. Both these rulers said that the supreme pontiff of the church was the bishop of Rome. As the eastern Empire crumbled, just as the Roman centre had done, the popes looked for support in the west and found it in Charlemagne the Emperor of the Franks, who was crowned by the pope on Christmas Day 799 AD. This new Beast was land based and called by the vision which John saw, "the beast of the earth". Both these powers in the east and the west acknowledged the supremacy of Rome's bishop and supported the persecution of the disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ. Those saints of Jesus were slain in their millions by the Church of Rome. We are left with no doubts as to the great persecuting apostate power identified numerically as 666 in the last verse of the chapter, which tells us that it is a man's number (the man of sin described in 2 Thessalonians 2). History tells us that Iraneus, the bishop of Antioch stated in 165 AD that it was Lateinos (the Greek numerical value being 666). The official title of the Roman pontiff is, "vicarius filii  Dei" (meaning the one who stands in the place of the Son of God - its Roman numeral equivalent is 666. This power is called in the Hebrew, "Romith" (numerical equivalent is 666). Every document signed by the bishop of Rome bears the authority of the Church, "Dux Cleri" (ie high priest, and its numerical value is 666). Let us shun the apostate church and as faithful disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ heed the warning of Revelation 18:4, "Come out of her my people, lest you take part in her sins, lest you share in her plagues" ESV.

The Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast continues our study in the book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ. We are in chapter 12 verses 7 thru 17 with our teacher Dr. John G. Mitchell.In the first half of this lesson, Dr. Mitchell reviews and supplements the Biblical view of the devil found in several scriptures. He next show how the believers from among the nations overcome this adversary by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony.This evokes a song of praise from these victorious ones to our God and savior.1st John 3:8 John writes: For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He may destroy the works of the devil. Dear friend, if you know the Lord Jesus, you have overcome the evil one. If you do not yet know Christ as you savior, you can escape the snare of the devil by trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ right now. Just ask Him to save you.And He will. Here is Dr. Mitchell, Revelation 12:7-17.

When was the last time you sat in complete silence without reaching for your phone? In our hyper-connected world, we've become the first generation in human history with the ability to escape uncomfortable thoughts with just a button press – and it's destroying our spiritual lives.Jesse Cope dives deep into how constant distraction has become the modern believer's greatest challenge. Drawing parallels between Winston Churchill's focused productivity in a pre-digital age and our scattered attention spans today, he reveals how screens have fundamentally altered our capacity for contemplation, prayer, and meaningful connection with God."We can't figure out why we feel so distant from God when we're cramming every second with distractions," Jesse observes, challenging listeners to honestly evaluate what their time allocation reveals about their priorities. "Do we truly love Jesus more than money, entertainment, social media, or whatever else consumes our attention?"The exploration of Revelation 12 provides a sobering reminder that Satan "deceives the whole world" – a mission made infinitely easier when believers aren't grounded in Scripture. Without regular immersion in God's word, how can we possibly discern truth from fiction in an era of unprecedented information manipulation?Powerful historical examples punctuate the episode, from Medal of Honor recipients who made ultimate sacrifices to Christian martyrs who endured unimaginable tortures during the Inquisition. These accounts serve as stark contrasts to the relatively minor sacrifices many modern believers struggle to make.Whether examining early American colonists standing firm against British troops or the subtle ways technology erodes our spiritual foundations, the message remains clear: faith requires intentional cultivation. In a world designed to capture and monetize your attention, choosing God requires deliberate, countercultural decisions about how you spend your most precious resource – your time.Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe

There are three controversies about this chapter that must be addressed before we can apply it appropriately to our lives. Who is the woman? What time period do the "1,260 days" (v. 6) and the "time, times, and half a time" (v. 14) refer to? When is Satan cast out of heaven (vv. 7-12)? You can watch this message here.

Welcome to the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast.We start in Revelation chapter 12 at verse 1.Our study in the book of Revelation brings us to chapter 12 which begins with John seeing a great sign revealed in heaven. Dr. Mitchell discusses the meaning of this great sign - a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon and a crown of 12 stars on her head. He then tells us of the 4 women written about in the book of Revelation. Then there is another sign that also appears in heaven. This sign reveals a great red dragon. Dr. Mitchell discusses who this red dragon is in Isa.14 and Ezekiel 28. Dr. Mitchell describes his influence and how he wants to destroy the child. But the child was caught up to God in heaven.Dr. Mitchell describes this child as the Lord Jesus Christ born of the nation of Israel.Let's join our teacher in Revelation chapter 12 verse 1.

The Word of Your TestimonyRevelation 12:7-11Dr. Tim Lee

There are two prevailing views of how to interpret Revelation - and in this case, the Dragon. Who is the dragon, and what does it represent to Christians today?

revelation 12-13

Revelation 12:1-17   12:1 A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars; 2 and she was pregnant and she *cried out, being in labor and in pain to give birth. 3 Then another sign appeared in heaven: and behold, a great red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads were seven crowns. 4 And his tail *swept away a third of the stars of heaven and hurled them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she gave birth he might devour her Child. 5 And she gave birth to a Son, a male, who is going to rule all the nations with a rod of iron; and her Child was caught up to God and to His throne. 6 Then the woman fled into the wilderness where she *had a place prepared by God, so that there she would be nourished for 1,260 days. 7 And there was war in heaven, Michael and his angels waging war with the dragon. The dragon and his angels waged war, 8 and they did not prevail, and there was no longer a place found for them in heaven. 9 And the great dragon was thrown down, the serpent of old who is called the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him. 10 Then I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, “Now the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God and the authority of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brothers and sisters has been thrown down, the one who accuses them before our God day and night. 11 And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life even when faced with death. 12 For this reason, rejoice, you heavens and you who dwell in them. Woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has come down to you with great wrath, knowing that he has only a short time.” 13 And when the dragon saw that he was thrown down to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male Child. 14 But the two wings of the great eagle were given to the woman, so that she could fly into the wilderness to her place, where she *was nourished for a time, times, and half a time, away from the presence of the serpent. 15 And the serpent hurled water like a river out of his mouth after the woman, so that he might cause her to be swept away with the flood. 16 But the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and drank up the river which the dragon had hurled out of his mouth. 17 So the dragon was enraged with the woman, and went off to make war with the rest of her children, who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus.     BIBLE READING GUIDE - FREE EBOOK - Get the free eBook, Bible in Life, to help you learn how to read and apply the Bible well: https://www.listenerscommentary.com     GIVE -  The Listener's Commentary is a listener supported Bible teaching ministry made possible by the generosity of people like you.
