THERE IS POWER IN THE BLOOD
"But the blood on your doorposts will serve as a sign, marking the houses where you are staying. When I see the blood, I will pass over you. This plague of death will not touch you when I strike the land of Egypt.”--Exodus 12:13 (NLT)
"And they overcame and conquered him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, for they did not love their life and renounce their faith even when faced with death.”--Revelation 12:11 Amplified Bible
We are redeemed by the precious blood of Jesus as well as empowered by it to overcome ALL the assaults of the enemy (see Psalm 91; Proverbs 18:19; Romans 3:25; Ephesians 6:12-13; 1 Peter 1:18-19; Revelation 12:11). The power of the blood of Jesus has been largely overlooked in Christianity. We may plead the blood of Jesus over our loved ones, over world situations, and every other human need that could be imagined. “Lord, I plead your precious blood over ___________.” You fill in the blank as you are guided by the Holy Spirit. This, of course, must be a PRAYER FROM THE HEART and not just a flippant slogan. The power of His precious blood is available to BELIEVERS. This is serious business. We need to be persistent in pleading His blood. We WILL see the mighty power of God at work quickly at times and other times the results may not be so apparent but you can be sure that GOD IS AT WORK whether you see visible results right away or not. Sometimes in my humanness I feel so very helpless in the face of life’s daily challenges but by faith I plead the precious blood of Jesus and put it all in His hands. “We walk by faith, not by sight.” (2 Corinthians 5:7 ESV). Read and meditate on Psalm 91 very frequently.
“You can plead the Blood of Jesus, over any and everything; your spirit, soul and body, your house, car, work, children, spouse, business, as a form of protection or prevention against evil. You can plead the Blood of Jesus over your journey, the road, the vehicle or aircraft, etc. If you are living or passing through a dangerous zone; you can draw a bloodline of protection, therefore making a boundary, against any evil. A man had a poultry where, all of sudden, the chickens began to die. When he saw that he was going bankrupt with the loss, he cried unto the Lord, who ministered to him about drawing a bloodline around the poultry. Thus, creating a boundary that the enemy cannot cross. He walked round and drew the bloodline around the poultry that night. The following day, he found the carcass of a wolf, about two feet into the circle that he drew. It was stone dead; it had passed its bounds. Today, I pray that any, wolf assigned against your life, shall die in the Name of Jesus. Draw the Bloodline and the enemy will keep off. These are very serious matters and we should recognise and know these secrets. Recently, there have been disasters that have destroyed many lives in many countries. I was told of a man, who saw the flood raging towards his house and he came out and pleaded the Blood of Jesus. The flood obeyed him, not a single drop of water entered his house but the houses next to him, were submerged. That is the power in the Blood of Jesus!”
