THE WORD OF TESTIMONY

And they overcame him…by the word of their testimony.

—REVELATION 12:11

The second thing John writes: “and they overcame him…by the word of their testimony.” The word testimony means those who give judicial witness. It’s a legal term. We overcome the enemy by the word of our testimony. There are many different things in the spirit realm that are received in the courts of Heaven as testimony. We need to make sure that our words are in agreement with God’s passion. And we need to make sure our prophetic words are in agreement with His passion.

DRY BONES OR A MIGHTY ARMY?

For instance, in Ezekiel 37:1-14, Ezekiel is dropped down in the valley of dry bones. God says to him, “Can these bones live?” Ezekiel says, “O Lord God, You know.” Why that response? Because he was struggling; in the natural, his eyes saw the valley of dry bones, but in the spirit he heard a marching army. Ezekiel had to choose whether to agree with his eyes—what he observed in the natural realm—or his ears—what he heard rumbling in the spirit. He chose to agree with what his ears heard and he began to prophesy. As Ezekiel released testimony in the courts, this allowed the bones to come together, flesh and sinew wrapped around them, and the breath of God entered them so that they stood up on their feet as a mighty army. All of this was based on what Ezekiel chose to prophesy.

It’s really easy to look at the natural state of things and prophesy wrong things. This is simply agreeing with the situation or circumstance as is. Then when what was prophesied happens, the person says, “I told you that was God.” No, it didn’t happen because it was God; it happened because it was prophesied and released as testimony in the courts of Heaven. That’s what people don’t get. How can this be? they ask. Let’s look at a story in the Bible that helps illustrate this further.

Ezekiel had to choose whether to agree with his eyes—what he observed in the natural realm—or his ears—what he heard rumbling in the spirit.
