They

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 ESV).

God wants us to be the "they" of this verse. These are those who overcome Satan, those who go into the world and break the mold of what the world thinks Christians should be. He desires for us to become free, so that we do not feel compelled to prove ourselves to each other, but that we operate from a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and that our lives are pleasing to Him. God has created us with awesome potential. He has given us His presence in the Holy Spirit. One of the major tasks of the Holy Spirit is to reveal truth to us. God wants to reveal the deep truths hidden in His Word. Part of this truth is for us to realize that when we are born again we are no longer fallen, but we have become joint heirs with Jesus Christ. We all have potential. Each one of us can rise above the negativity, the circumstances of life, and become a new breed of people. We can all rise and become one of the "theys" who overcame Satan, yet feelings of rejection and failure often hold us back.

Moses is a good example. After he killed an Egyptian, he spent 40 years in the desert. He must have felt like a failure, yet God called him to deliver a nation. It is the rejection in our lives that focuses on failure and often prevents us from accomplishing God’s will for us. Our fallen nature wants us to fail, but God created us to win. We must overcome feelings of rejection and failure. Our minds must be renewed so that we can know the good, perfect and acceptable will of God for our lives. We need to present ourselves as living sacrifices, knowing that God loves and cares for us. Unfortunately, we can know too much about ourselves, and not enough about God and what he has done for us. Do you know that God puts his trust in us? He trusts us to carry His message. He does not want us walking around from one failure to another, or to be people seeking sympathy and always looking for confirmation from other people. We need to understand that God believes in and trusts us. Sometimes God tries to help us out of our failure mentality and we don't even realize what He is trying to do. Negativity and failure can settle around us like sludge. We must come out of this and wash ourselves from it, knowing that what God has promised He is well able to perform. We need to remember that the devil is a liar, and he will find any chink in our armor to get into our life and give us trouble. We must determine that we will not accept lies and deceit from him.

The Holy Spirit's mission will not be complete until He has made each and everyone one of us a "they". He wants to make all of us champions. He is on a mission to bring to us an understanding of the power of God, to bring us a revelation of His power so we walk in the supernatural, so that we will not love our lives and do things for our own pride, but give God the glory. The power of God will be revealed to us in a new and awesome way if we allow the Holy Spirit to further his mission in our lives. Each and every one of us can reach our full potential in Christ. Pray this morning that you will hear the same voice of God calling to you that Moses did as He tells you of His love and power to be free and set others free. There is a burning bush in all of our lives. Look for yours today and go back to Egypt the child of God and the messenger of freedom!
