THE ACCUSER OF THE BRETHREN
_____________________
In Revelation 12:10 it says, “and I heard a loud voice saying in heaven now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before God day and night.”
The accuser of the brethren is Satan. He is relentless. He is continuously looking for the means to bring an accusation against us. 2 Timothy 2:26 says, “And that they [you and I] may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.”
Those snares that allow him to do this are unconfessed sin, offenses, and unrighteous living. They give him a legal right to bring an accusation against us in the courtroom of heaven.
Satan is a legalist. He looks for everything in our lives that is sin. Even the smallest thing like a proud look, he will use against us. We must continuously be aware that we have an enemy, and he looks for grounds to bring a stronghold against us.
We must stay in a state of constant repentance to be right with God and nullify Satan’s accusations.
Picture a courtroom. You are on trial for your sin. Satan goes before the judge [Father] and brings an accusation. If you are found guilty, then he has a right to torment you. But if you have confessed your actions to God and repented of them, then he has no legal right to do this. He will go before the judge [Father] and our Savior, Jesus Christ as our advocate will step in and say, “Yes, she/he was guilty, but has repented and my blood washed those sins away, so the charges must be dropped.”
Just because we are Christians does not insulate us from Satan’s accusations. We must daily wash our sins away through repentance and the blood of Jesus to keep our adversary away. If we live with unconfessed sin, it is our fault if we do not repent.
Do not let the accuser of the brethren have any access to you, my friends. If you sin, repent immediately before he gets a stronghold. If you have not repented, then please do it now. Walk in victory instead of being the victim.
Remember, if he accuses you, Jesus has acquitted you if you have repented. So, now walk in the victory that Jesus gives you! Any words from Satan throws at you after you have repented have no legal right. He is only trying to deceive you into believing that you are “still his.” Do not believe his lies!
