 Sermon Outline: "Is He Getting What He Paid For?"

Scripture Focus: Revelation 12:11

"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."

  1. Introduction
  • John’s Revelation: A glimpse of spiritual victory in heavenly places.
  • Main Question: "Is Christ getting what He paid for?"
    • He gave His life for our redemption, but are we living in a way that reflects that sacrifice?
  1. Breaking Down Revelation 12:11
  • "They" Overcame
    • "They" = More than one. We are not alone in our struggles or victories.
    • We often feel isolated in suffering, but the Bible emphasizes the collective overcoming of the saints.
    • Key Point: Your struggle isn’t unique; many others share similar burdens.
  • The Blood of the Lamb
    • Sacrifice of Christ: Jesus' death is the ultimate price for our redemption.
    • Significance of the Blood:
      • Cleanses us from sin.
      • Breaks Satan’s power and accusations.
      • Guarantees victory over all principalities.
    • Key Question: Jesus shed His blood. He did His part. Are we doing ours?
  • The Word of Their Testimony
    • Testimony: Our personal witness of what Christ has done in our lives.
    • Power of Testimony: Disarms Satan's lies, strengthens our faith.
    • Key Reflection: Are we speaking life, victory, and freedom? Or are we testing God with complaints?
  • They Loved Not Their Lives Unto Death
    • Sacrificial Faith: These believers were willing to lay down their lives.
    • Courageous Loyalty: Faith that surpasses the fear of death.
    • Key Challenge: Are we willing to crucify our flesh and desires for Christ?
  1. The Power of the Blood
  • Christ Has Paid the Price
    • Jesus’ blood was shed once and for all (John 19:30 – “It is finished”).
    • Redemption Secured: His blood provides freedom from sin, healing, deliverance, and victory.
    • Key Reflection: Are we truly walking in the freedom Christ paid for?
  1. The Word of Our Testimony
  • What Is Our Testimony?
    • "It is finished": Our victory was declared on the cross.
    • Satan’s accusations are powerless when we stand on Christ’s finished work.
    • Key Reflection: Is your testimony one of victory, or are you still bound by past struggles?
  • Sharing Our Testimony
    • Too Good Not to Share: Your testimony of Christ’s work in your life is too powerful to keep silent.
    • Key Question: Are we proclaiming the freedom and joy that Jesus gave us, or are we hiding it?
  1. The Battle We Face
  • Ephesians 6:12: "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities..."
    • Spiritual Warfare: We face real enemies—principalities, powers, rulers of darkness.
    • Flesh vs. Spirit: We must crucify our flesh and walk by the Spirit (Galatians 5:24).
    • Key Reflection: Are you overcoming the enemy, or is the enemy overcoming you because you won’t crucify your flesh?
  1. Victory Through Christ
  • Romans 8:37: "In all these things, we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us."
    • Overcoming Isn’t Survival: We are meant to thrive and dominate spiritually.
    • Living in Victory: Every day is an opportunity to claim victory in Christ.
    • Key Challenge: Are you walking as a conqueror, or just surviving?
  1. Application: How to Overcome Daily
  • By the Blood of the Lamb:
    • Recognize that the blood has already won the victory. Live from that place of freedom.
  • By the Word of Our Testimony:
    • Share what Christ has done—don’t keep it hidden. Let your testimony be a weapon against the enemy.
  • By Crucifying the Flesh:
    • Decide daily to follow Christ, even when it means denying your own desires.
  1. Conclusion: Is He Getting What He Paid For?
  • Jesus Paid it All: He gave His life to free us from sin and empower us to live victorious lives.
  • Challenge: Are you giving Jesus what He paid for? Are you living in victory, testifying of His work, and laying down your life for Him?
  • Closing Scripture: "Whom the Son sets free, is free indeed" (John 8:36).
    • Final Call: Live in the freedom, victory, and testimony of Christ today!

Prayer

  • Pray for strength to live in victory through the blood of the Lamb.
  • Pray for boldness to testify of His goodness.
  • Pray for courage to crucify the flesh and walk in the Spirit daily.
