REFUSE SATAN’S ACCUSATIONS
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 our God day and night (Revelation 12:10).
Observe what the opening scripture tells us about Satan: he’s the accuser of the brethren, the one who constantly brings charges against God’s children. He accuses you before God, to others, and even accuses you to yourself. He thrives on guilt, condemnation and self-blame, whispering lies that sound like your own thoughts.
He could make you question your right-standing with God and doubt your righteousness in Christ. Maybe you’ve been praying about something and it hasn’t yet manifested. Then, his voice comes, “The reason it hasn’t happened is that you’re not fasting enough; therefore, God is not pleased with you.” Then, suddenly, you begin to feel guilty and start repenting and blaming yourself. No!
The Bible says we’re not ignorant of Satan’s devices (2 Corinthians 2:11). He’s a liar and the father of lies. If God needs to talk to you about fasting, He won’t need Satan’s help to do it. Moreover, God never accuses or blames His children. He corrects, instructs, and guides us through His Word and the Holy Spirit, but He never condemns or shames His own. That’s Satan’s strategy: to load you with guilt and make you question your righteousness.
Sometimes, you may find yourself holding someone responsible for something they never did or were guilty of. You’re convinced they’re guilty because Satan accused them to you. He stirs suspicion, resentment and division; refuse to give him the opportunity. Ephesians 4:27 says, “Neither give place to the devil.” Don’t give him the chance to peddle his lies, deceit, treachery and accusations around you. Believe only the Word and judge all things from the perspective of God’s truth and His righteousness. Maintain your righteousness-consciousness and walk in love.
Righteousness-consciousness eliminates guilt, condemnation or inferiority, and places you above Satan, and his accusations. It also gives you the boldness and confidence to pray to God and expect answers. You’re unafraid and unashamed before Him because you have peace with Him through the Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 5:1). Hallelujah!
PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for making me free from condemnation in Christ Jesus. My mind is filled with your Word, and I refuse to give place to the devil; his accusations have no power over me. I stand justified, sanctified and victorious in Christ Jesus. Amen.

16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

16 Confess to one another therefore your faults (your slips, your false steps, your offenses, your sins) and pray [also] for one another, that you may be healed and restored [to a spiritual tone of mind and heart]. The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working].
17 Elijah was a human being with a nature such as we have, with feelings, affections, and a constitution like ours; and he prayed earnestly for it not to rain, and no rain fell on the earth for three years and six months.
18 And [then] he prayed again and the heavens supplied rain and the land produced its crops [as usual].
