"And they have conquered him (satan) by the blood
of the Lamb
We too can conquer satan through the blood of Jesus and the word of our testimony

We are Redeemed and Forgiven "In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses" (Ephesians 1:7) "You were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your fathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot" (1 Peter 1:18-19)
We are Cleansed from all Sin "If we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin" (1 John 1:17)
We are Justified "Since, therefore, we are justified by His blood, much more shall we be saved by Him from the wrath of God" (Romans 5:9) "Since all have sinned and fall short of the grace of God, they are justified by His grace as a gift, through the redemption which is in Jesus Christ, whom God put forward as an expiation by His blood, to be received in faith" (Romans 3:23-25) "To Him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by His blood and made us a kingdom, priests to His God and father, to Him be glory and dominion for ever and ever" (Revelation 1:5-6)
We are Sanctified "So Jesus suffered outside the gate in order to sanctify the people through His own blood" (Hebrews 13:12) We can enter into God's Presence in Prayer "We have confidence to enter the sanctuary by the blood of Jesus" (Hebrews 10:19)
We are Enabled to Conquer Satan "They have conquered him (satan) by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony" (Revelation 12:11)
By the blood of Jesus all my sins are forgiven
The Blood of Jesus cries out for us in Heaven "But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable angels in festal gathering, and to the assembly of the first-born who are enrolled in heaven, and to a judge who is God of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks more graciously than the blood of Abel" (Hebrews 12:22-24) Compare this with God's words to Cain: "The voice of your brother's blood is crying to Me from the ground. And now you are cursed from the ground, which has opened up its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand" (Genesis 4:10) While Abel's blood, sprinkled on the ground by Cain, cried out curses on Cain, Jesus' blood, sprinkled in Heaven, is crying out blessings on us!
