The Blood of Jesus

We are in a season saints where God wants His people to operate in Authority. The Father no longer wants His children operating in defeat, living in discouragement and depression. The Lord is ready for His people to operate in Victory! But in order to live in the Victory for which God has ordained for us as His people, we must take Authority. Authority is not something that is given, it has to be taken, it has to be assumed. For this reason we want to visit the concept of The Blood of Jesus. This is a topic that, believe it or not, is largely ignored by the church. This is a big mistake that we as the people of God can no longer afford to make. We must understand the importance, the significance and the Power in The Blood of Jesus.

Let us first understand that The Blood of Jesus is the foundation and the basis of our relationship with God (Mark 14). If Jesus doesn't shed His Blood on the Cross, not only are our sins not forgiven but we are also banished to an eternity in hell away from God the Father, forever (Ephesians 2). Thank God for The Blood! Hallelujah! So we can never diminish the significance of The Blood of Jesus. It is the basis and sole reason for our Salvation in Christ.

What we must also come to understand is that The Blood of Jesus is a Weapon. As I stated earlier, there are too many professing Christians that are living in Defeat. This is not the Will of God. There are a lot of things in our lives that we can overcome if we simply understand and believe the Power that exists in The Blood of Jesus. Not only does the Blood of Jesus save us from our sins, but it is also the basis for the Defeat of the Devil. When Jesus shed His Blood on Calvary's Rugged Cross, not only did He secure Eternal Salvation for those who would believe in Him, He also defeated Satan and took away his power. Remember, when Adam sinned, he abdicated his power and dominion as the king of the earth (Genesis 3). Well the power and rule that God had bestowed upon Adam at the creation didn't just "disappear", it was transferred to the Devil. That's why the Bible describes Satan as the god of this world (2Corinthians 4). It's also the reason why Satan could boast to Jesus when He was in the wilderness, that all of the kingdoms of this world were in his power (Luke 4). But what did Jesus say after His Resurrection, all power in heaven and in earth, is in His Hands (Matthew 28). So Satan no longer has this power, Jesus does! And as the children of God through faith in Jesus Christ, we now have access to that power over the devil, by The Blood of Jesus.

I want to encourage you today to exercise the Authority that has been given to you as a child of Jesus through His Blood, and plead The Blood of Jesus over your various situations and circumstances. Remember, Jesus told us that we have authority over all the power of the enemy (Luke 10). So use it! Anything negative in your life surely isn't of God, it's of the devil; so take Authority by The Blood of Jesus. If you have sickness in your body, I encourage you today to say, "I plead The Blood of Jesus over this sickness". If you're having financial problems, I encourage you to say, "I plead The Blood of Jesus over my finances". If you're having challenges in your family, in your marriage, with your children, I encourage you to say, "I plead The Blood of Jesus over my family, over my marriage, over my children". The Power in pleading The Blood is that it's the Power of God that breaks the hold of the Enemy. When he sees The Blood he has to flee. Why? Because The Blood of Jesus Christ literally represents The Power of God on behalf of man. Please hear me, not just the Power of God, but The Power of God on behalf of man. Man was never, and I mean Never, supposed to be under the power or authority of the devil. Never! It's only because of Sin that this has happened. But Jesus reversed all of this when He died on the Cross and now there is no more sin--no more separation between humanity and God. At least for those who confess their faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. So I encourage you today, plead The Blood of Jesus over every adverse situation and circumstance in your life and watch Victory Manifest on your behalf, in Jesus' Name.
