This Week’s Chapters: Revelation 8 - 12
Pastor Matt Beemer
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. 11 "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. - Rev 12:10-11
Notice Satan is called the 'accuser of our brethren'. What does that mean? It means he is forever reminding people of their mistakes. However, according to the last part of verse 10 and verse 11, "The Accuser has been cast down" and "we overcame him", so don't let The Accuser lie to you and remind you of things that are under the blood of Jesus. Remember to say what God's Word says about your life. You are forgiven and free from your past.
Going one step further, many unwittingly side in with Satan and 'accuse' their fellow Christians, by not letting people live down past mistakes and continually reminding them of how they've missed the mark. Worse yet, they spread gossip telling others of the failures. Remember, love always believes the best and covers a multitude of sins.
This week determine to speak only that which builds others up and refuse to listen to anyone siding in with The Accuser!
I would love to hear which verse stands out to you as you breath daily with God this week!

Dearest Pastor Matt
You can never know how the word you have spoken is honey for my soul and my spirit at this time. As you know today Monday 10th December 2007 my son Daniel aged 35yrs died in a drug related situation. My heart is broken.
All day satan has been attacking my mind as the “accuser of the brethren” telling me what a stinking mother I was and that if I had been a better mother this would never have happened to my beloved son. I started to believe satan and then bless His holy name, Jesus reminded me that, that mother was dead and buried and a new mother because of His Word lives. I believe what the Lord says about me, Why? because it is the TRUTH I am in love and I am LOVED and I know it by my precious dad in heaven.
In the past I have been reminded by those who I love about my past wrongs. But I KNOW the WORD works and I Love those who persecute me and say all manner of evil things about me. Guess what? What you sow, you reap. Forgiveness flows like a mighty river full of Joy bubbles (dear Pastor Colin).
My joy overflows today because I know my son is with the Lord and I will testify of my LORD’s forgiveness and His enduring love to all.
And satan you are a loser and your end is very near.
Glory.
Bless you again Pastor Matt.

Dear all who may read this
I am in total agreement with the quote Pastor Matt has provided. However, I want everyone to take note of Ephesians v3 and v6 because satan may attempt to attack us and place many doubts upon us but these verses above clearly state that we have authority over him and are protected as long as we are living in faith and walking in the name of Jesus.
