Revelation 12:11, “And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life over death.” Yesterday, I visited a different church than the one I normally attend. The congregation stood during the worship singing. A woman gave her testimony of how God intervened when her daughter, at the age of 17, while driving home from a school event was struck by a drunk driver. It was a horrific accident, and her daughter was life-flighted to Carle Hospital. Her daughter was given a very low chance of survival. In telling her story, she gave acknowledgement to things she knew could only be the hand of God. The person in the car behind her daughters who witnessed the accident was a paramedic coming home from work. His swift aide while waiting for the ambulance helped stabilize her daughter. The injuries were severe. When arriving at the hospital the doctors were able to quickly get her into surgery but had little hope the girl would survive. She was placed in a medical coma. The mother talked about how her church family came together in prayer and support. She said she never lost hope that her daughter would pull through. This happened 14 years ago. Her daughter did survive and was now married and had children of her own. During the service a young girl maybe 15 or 16 joined the family in the pew in front of me. She had arrived after the woman’s testimony and hadn’t heard it. When we stood at the end of the service for the last song, the young girl stood and placed the bulletin she had on the pew behind her while she stood. When I looked down at the bulletin, it had doodles all over it. Little hearts you would see a teenager draw during class. On the bulletin amidst all the hearts were the words “There is power in the blood of Jesus.” That wasn’t one of the songs we sang, and the girl had come after the woman gave her testimony. When I first saw all the little hearts, I was expecting some boy’s name on it. What was written, however, was the sentence, “There is power in the blood of Jesus.” A truth a child understood. The scripture in Revelation 12 says “And they overcame him, because of the blood of the Lamb.” God never ceases to amaze me. Matthew 18:2-3 says, “and He called a child to Himself and set him before them, and said, “Truly I say to you, unless you are converted and become like children, you shall not enter the kingdom of heaven.” Hebrews 11:6 says, “and without faith, it is impossible to please Hiim, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.” Trust as a child and as Romans 8:28 says, “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.”
