"The power of His Christ have come"

Text: Revelation 12:10

THE MIGHTY POWER OF GOD MANIFESTED

It would take no less than the mighty power of God to quell the great dragon. This great power is made available to all of us who seek to live for the Lord!

“Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven,
‘Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God,
and the power of His Christ have come,
for the accuser of our brethren,
who accused them before our God day and night,
has been cast down.
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb
and by the word of their testimony,
and they did not love their lives to the death.
Therefore rejoice, O heavens,
and you who dwell in them!
Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea!
For the devil has come down to you,
having great wrath,
because he knows that he has a short time.'”
