NOT LOVING OUR LIVES 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.” —Revelation 12:10–11 Not loving our lives to the death simply means that we are willing to sacrifice our own desires for God’s will. When we lay our lives down to do the will of the Lord, we gain new dimensions and places of authority in the spirit world. Jesus told His disciples they would be witnesses (Acts 1:8). This is someone who gives judicial testimony. It also, however, means martyr or those who give their lives for a religious belief or cause. This does not necessarily mean we die physically as a martyr. It does, however, mean we are willing to surrender our own fleshly appetites, dreams for our lives, and our own plans and purposes to His. This gives us a place of great authority and status in the Courts of Heaven. Heaven pays attention to our testimony before the Courts in a new way. The more we surrender and take up our cross and follow Jesus, the more we gain place and position to function from in the Courts of Heaven. This can only be done by and through the grace of God. Prayer Heavenly Father, You are The king and Ruler of everything and everyone. You are so Holy and perfect. Your ways are higher than man's and You know everything before it even happens. I submit my will to Your will. I need You to show me Your will for my life very clearly so I can follow after Your plan not mine. Lord, as I come to stand before Your Courts, I want to lay my life down. As best as I can through the empowerment of Your grace, I submit myself to Your will, desires, and purposes. I ask, Lord, that You would give me the grace out of my love for You to not love my life to the death. Lord, that I would be willing to wholly follow and serve You all the days of my life. Would You please allow this, to grant for me a place of authority and status before Your Courts? I want to know You more and be know more by You Father. Please forgive me of all sins known and unknown. Protect me and my family from all the plans and schemes of the enemy. And to You be all glory, honor, and praise. In Jesus’s mighty name I pray Amen and Amen.
