For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. § Inasmuch … as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil. § Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it. § 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. 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.” Thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Daily Light on the Daily Path or Daily Light is a Christian daily devotional scripture reading published by Bagster & Sons about 1875. It has been reprinted continually since then. It consists of brief groupings of scripture passages which speak to prominent Biblical themes—two themes (morning and evening) for each day of the year. It appends no commentary, but simply allows scripture to speak for itself.

Morning Daily Light

 For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. 

Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died. § The blood … makes atonement for the soul. § I am the Lord… The blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you. There is . . . no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus. Who are these arrayed in white robes, and where did they come from? . . . These are the ones who came out of the great tribulation, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood, and has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Evening Daily Light

 They overcame . . . by the blood of the Lamb. 

They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb. (Revelation 12:11)
There are so many of the Lord's people today 
over whom Satan is lording it; lording it along the line of accusation, bringing 
them under a sense of condemnation and judgment, robbing them of their peace, of 
their assurance, rest, hope; and you will find these people are everlastingly 
talking about their own short-comings, their sinfulness; they are forever 
circling round themselves, all that they are that they would not be, all that 
they are not that they would be. Their deliverance from Satan is that they 
should have a fresh apprehension of the absolute satisfaction of the Father in 
His Son on their behalf, and that they find their standing before the Father in 
acceptance. That is the way of deliverance, the way of the Adversary's casting 
out. This is the way of overcoming him as the Accuser. Yes, the ground of the 
Blood is sufficient for this full-orbed, many-sided, all-round victory. "They 
overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb," and the first and supreme factor 
in the virtue of that Blood in all these directions, is its untainted 
sinlessness, the nature of the Lord Jesus. There has never been another who was 
such. 
Oh, I am so glad that it was God that came in 
Christ, GOD that came in Christ. Can you charge God with sin? Can you lay sin to 
God's charge, to God's account? It was God in Christ, the absolutely and 
altogether holy One in whom there was no sin, who came in incarnation; and in 
virtue of that Divine nature in its perfection Satan in his authority is 
defeated - on that ground. Blessed be God! We receive by faith the virtue of 
that precious Blood; that is, the perfection of the Lord Jesus can be put to our 
account. That is grace - the wonder of the Gospel. If we were to begin to 
analyze ourselves and take stock of ourselves, that would be a terrible 
business, a wretched business, and it would be endless - think of it, beloved, 
with all that we know of ourselves, all that God knows about us - "The heart is 
deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? I the Lord 
search the heart. I try the reins...." Though all that be a fact, you and I can 
stand now in the presence of God as sinlessly perfect, not in ourselves, but in 
Christ, as having absolute sinless perfection put to our account by God.

This devotional contains short daily portions from a selection of Mr. Austin-Sparks' messages. In his own words, “Perhaps this is just like a window opened into heaven. If you get the right window you can see quite a lot. You can see great things and you can see far things. But the best that I can hope is that this has just opened a window, and that as you look through it you are seeing one thing - how superior is Jesus Christ to all else, and how superior is the dispensation into which we have come, and how superior are all the resources at our disposal to all that ever was before!” Open Windows messages have been selected and compiled by Austin-Sparks.Net from the works of T. Austin-Sparks. In some cases they appear in abridged form. The introductory verse and its associated Bible version have been selected by the editor and did not always appear within the original message.

"Because of the Blood of the Lamb"

 Christ’s Sinless Perfection 

Who is like You, O Lord, among the gods? Who is like You, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders? § He saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor; therefore His own arm brought salvation for Him; and His own righteousness, it sustained Him. § [He] Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree. § Having become a curse for us. Oh, sing to the Lord a new song! For He has done marvelous things; His right hand and His holy arm have gained Him the victory. § Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it. § He shall see the labor of His soul, and be satisfied. By His knowledge My righteous Servant shall justify many, for He shall bear their iniquities. O my soul, march on in strength! § We are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. § They overcame … by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony.

 I have trodden the winepress alone. 

They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony. § Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them. § That through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. § In all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. § Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. And take … the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. § Thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

 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 loved not their lives unto the death.

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.

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.

In 1604, King James I of England authorized that a new translation of the Bible into English be started. It was finished in 1611, just 85 years after the first translation of the New Testament into English appeared (Tyndale, 1526). The Authorized Version, or King James Version, quickly became the standard for English-speaking Protestants. Its flowing language and prose rhythm has had a profound influence on the literature of the past 400 years. The King James Version present on the Bible Gateway matches the 1987 printing. The KJV is public domain in the United States.

OT: Masoretic Text, some LXX and Vulgate influence.
NT: Textus Receptus, similar to the Byzantine text-type; some readings derived from the Vulgate.
Apocrypha: Greek Septuagint and Latin Vulgate.
