When symptoms come to accuse you of being sick, your first course of action is to present your case. Symptoms are nothing but accusation—they are not the sickness. Satan is the accuser of the brethren. 

​

Revelation 12:10-11
    10 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.
    11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

​

Notice this passage says that the accuser of the brethren accused them before the Lord. Well, Jesus is the Righteous Judge of all the earth. (II Timothy 4:8) I picture a court room with Jesus on an elevated judge’s bench. I see symptoms on one side of the court room and Faith on the other. Notice how we overcome the accuser of the brethren, by our testimony. Our testimony is that we overcome his accusations by our testimony that Jesus redeemed us. We are redeemed by the blood of Jesus.  (Galatians 3:13) A few of our witnesses are I Peter 2:24, Matthew 8:17, Psalm 107:20.

​

Faith presents its case; Righteous Judge, I call witness number 1: I Peter 2:24.

​

I Peter 2:24
    Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

​

Faith: Righteous Judge, I call witness number 1: I live dead to sin and unto righteousness so by the stripes of Jesus I was healed.

​

Righteous Judge: I now call witness number 2: Matthew 8:17.

​

Matthew 8:17
    That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.

​

Righteous Judge, Jesus took my weaknesses and He bore all my sicknesses so I can live free from these.

Righteous Judge, I call witness number 3: Psalm 107:20

​

Psalm 107:20
    He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.

​

Righteous Judge, Your Word has already declared me well. Your Word has delivered me and continues to deliver me from the enemy’s accusations every day.

​

The Righteous Judge declares with one gavel strike, “Insufficient evidence by the plaintiff. Case dismissed!” 

At that point the angel bailiff grabs the symptoms and throws them out of the courtroom.

​

As believers we have to become great lawyers. It’s not enough to have a case, we have to do our research, organize it, and meditate on it so that we can present it with confidence knowing our case is the TRUTH. WE WIN!!!

​

Have a great week everyone, and remember that Jesus is coming soon!!!
