Overcoming the Great Red Dragon at CHRISTmas

Posted on Dec 5, 2024 in Devotions |

Introduction: The arch-enemy of God, depicted as the great red dragon in the book of Revelation, tried to stop Christ from coming. But needless to say, he failed! And his ultimate plan to keep Jesus Christ from coming again will fail. Watch and see!!

From a practical illustration, people today are choosing the “god” that is convenient with their lifestyle. Similarly, there is a popular TV show where people select a house to buy. It is called House Hunters—they usually choose between three homes.

It appears that today there are some “God hunters” choosing between gods.

See which God we want:

1. A God who loves
2. A God who will take us to heaven
3. A God to take care of me
4. A God who does what I say do!?
5. A God who will go along with my plans!?

Which one have you chosen? Unfortunately, this is the Great Red Dragon’s deception. However, the Great Red Dragon has been and will be OVERCOME! Take a look at the book!!

1. Mary {had a little lamb}, did you know your Baby Boy would rule the world? (Rev 12:1, 2; Luke 1:32, 33) – “And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.”

In the “Fulness of Time”—Christ was born. His will is to be formed in you (Gal 4:4). Are you cooperating?

2. Satan did everything he could to stop Jesus from being born! (Rev 12:3, 4) – “And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.”

With an attempt to usurp authority over God, to defile the bloodline of the human race, and to substitute the kingdoms of this world for the sinless Savior, all of Satan’s futile attempts failed.

By the way of interest, President of Russia, Putin, ordered a giant 16,000mph doomsday nuke called ‘Satan II’ to be made ready for war in his latest deranged nuclear sabre-rattling. Russia has branded this killing weapon as “unstoppable.” The Great Red Dragon thinks he’s unstoppable as well.

Also, Satan will try to kill the Jesus in you…to stop others from coming to the Christ of CHRISTmas. He is a:

Joy killer
Peace killer
Love killer
Patience killer
Self-control killer
Bible killer (“Hath God said?”)

Speaking of the strategy of the Great Red Dragon, did you know the following? A report showed that nearly 70% of enforcement actions executed by the Biden administration’s Education Department targeted faith-based and career schools.

The report from APP said further that “at least 12 Christian colleges have been the target of excessive penalties or banned from receiving federal student aid; by comparison, no Ivy League school has been the recipient of punitive action by the Office of Enforcement.”

Persecution will intensify as we get closer to Jesus Christ’s second coming.

3. The King of Kings was born to overthrow the Great Red Dragon! (Rev 12:5) – “And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.”

Jesus will rule and reign in His sovereignty. Then and only then will there be PEACE on the earth. After the Rapture—EVACUATION, the TRIBULATION, and the REVELATION of His second coming will come the RESTORATION of His Kingdom, where He rules with a Rod of Iron.

Then finally, Christ with JUBILATION will bring forth the New Jerusalem. What a day that will be!

Conclusion: Is Jesus ruling in your heart today? Has Satan killed your Joy, Peace, Love, etc.? You can get it back by:

Returning
Releasing
Reclaiming
Restoring
Rededicating

Do it today.

Love y’all,
