APPLYING THE BLOOD OF JESUS

 

HOW TO PLEAD THE BLOOD OF JESUS OVER YOUR LIFE!

Revelation 12:11 -  King James Version

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.

One of the things you can do as a confident believer is to apply the blood of Jesus Christ by faith to your household.  I do this regularly. You apply it to your own life, mind, emotions, will, body, spirit, your conscience, finance, your ministry, relationships, your walk with God, your wife/husband, children and their families and all the partners in ministry.  Do this by praying and releasing your faith that there is power in the blood of Jesus to protect and bless us.

Regularly, reminding your sins has been forgiven and keeping your conscience covered with the blood of Jesus helps you to be more confident before God in your prayer and daily life.  Guilty and condemned people don’t function well.  They are fearful and usually depressed to some degree.  You don’t have to be guilty and condemned, you can remind yourself that your sins had been forgive and cleanse in the blood of Jesus.  As you place your faith and confidence in His Blood and Word your faith and confidence will increase. Jesus blood has the answer and the power to touch us.

Churches around the world partake of communion regularly. Yet, Paul warns us not to "drink [the cup] unworthily." This doesn't mean merely partaking of a communion service after we've failed in some way; we know that if we repent of our sin, Jesus will forgive us and cleanse us of all iniquity.

No -- I believe Paul is saying we are to discern Christ's body properly. He's talking about coming to the Lord's Table, drinking of the cup symbolic of His blood -- and yet not believing in the power of that blood! It has to do with sitting in condemnation and fear -- not believing that Christ's blood has justified and sanctified us in God's sight.

Many believers are condemned out of the wonderful experience of the Lord's Table, because they do not come to the blood in faith. Paul is saying, "No wonder so many are sickly among you. You are left weak because you do not believe in the total victory of Christ's blood!"

Such Christians are saying, in essence, "I know it's wonderful to be justified through the blood of Jesus Christ. But I still have trouble believing the Lord reckons me righteous. After all, I still haven't arrived. I still struggle."

Beloved, the truest evidence of faith is rest! If you believe with all your heart, it brings your conscience and soul into rest. And when you come to the Lord's.Supper and partake of the cup, you can say, "I believe I am saved, forgiven, healed, because I believe in the blood. I trust in it!"

Today, we must realize that Christianity is a Bloody-Love Relationship with Almighty God.  We have received a Bloody Savior. Do we realize that the bible is a Bloody book? We also enter into a Bloody Covenant with God through Christ.  Our lives are covered with His blood, purchased and redeemed by His blood.  We are born again by the Spirit of God through Faith in the blood of Jesus. We are sons of God and our lives are in the Blood of the Lamb. The Source and Substance of our lives are in the Blood, for outside the Blood we have no true existence.

We are redeemed, washed and cleansed by the blood of the Lamb.  We have been forgiven, justified and brought to God by His Blood.  We are overcomers by the blood of the Lamb. That is to say our entire lives have to do with the Blood of the Lamb.

 

WALKING IN GRACE CONSCIOUSNESS

 

WALKING IN GRACE CONSCIOUSNESS

Paul testifies, “By the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me” (I Corinthians 15:10).

1.   BE GRACE CONSCIOUS DAILY

We have a ministry build by grace and not a graceless ministry. We do not want to be grace killers but be conscious of God’s grace daily so that our work will not be in vain. Ministry that is not build by grace will be in vain. That is why Paul was very concern about this ministry in the churches today. He said in his own words "I labored more abundantly than they all". He put daily emphasis on it.

God’s grace that is freely given to us is our generous giving to others, for “God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work” (2 Corinthians 9:8; see also 2 Corinthians 8:1–19; 9:8–15.

2.   GRACE FOR MINISTERING TO OTHERS

God’s grace to believers involves spiritual gifts that are to be used in edifying all the members of the Body of Christ.

“As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God” (I Peter 4:10).

“Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith; or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching; or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness” (Romans 12:6–8) KJV.

3.   GRACE TO BRING OTHERS TO SPIRITUAL MATURITY

God’s grace works in us to bring us to spiritual completeness and maturity. “The God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you” (I Peter 5:10).

The grace of God is multiplied to us, and we grow in grace through the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. “Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord…. But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ” (2 Peter 1:2; 3:18).

In this definition of grace, Dr. Spiros Zodhiates commented, “Grace is like God’s power generator, and we are like the conduits which carry His power to its intended purposes by the Holy Spirit.”

MORE GLORIOUS MINISTRY

 

Glory of the New Covenant -  1 Corinthians 3:7-11 

7 “But if the ministry of death, written and engraved on stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of the glory of his countenance, which glory was passing away, 8 how will the ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious? 9 For if the ministry of condemnation had glory, the ministry of righteousness exceeds much more in glory. 10 For even what was made glorious had no glory in this respect, because of the glory that excels. 11 For if what is passing away was glorious, what remains is much more glorious.”

In the Old Testament, the glory that shone from Moses’ face was glorious and brilliant and Moses had to put a veil over his face so that the children of Israel could not look.  But the ministry of Moses was passing away. It was temporal and fading glory.  The ministry of Moses cannot be compared to the Ministry of the Spirit in the New Covenant. The bible says “it exceeds much more in glory” than Moses glory.

God is providing a better greater glory much more glorious than the former one.  When Jesus came He promised many better things and ministry for the Church.  The glory of the ministry of righteousness exceeds much more in glory and will never fade or passed away.  It is a glory that increases and grows daily as His Spirit fills our lives and as we follow Jesus from “glory to glory.”

So as ministers of the New Testament of the Church we have the privilege,  power and authority to stand and minister in this more glorious ministry in the Spirit.

When we worship God, God’s glory has the ability to touch deeper into one’s spirit and draws a deeper response from the worshipers.  As God manifest more of His glory our worship will be taken to a new and higher level.  His glory will in the last days increase in signs and wonders for these are the manifestation of God’s glory.  Glory and worship and revival go together.  God’s glory will bring forth Revival fire and produce holy zeal among the believers today.

And Jesus will be exalted and given the place of prominence and His glory will be made manifest.  And the Word of God says “that no flesh should glory in His presence” - 1 Cor.1:29.   “And all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.” - 1 Peter 4:11 - The word says that Jesus is full of the Glory of God and “we beheld His glory.” - John 1:14

May the Lord bless your ministry and the Church of Jesus Christ.

 

THE SPIRITUAL MILK AND MEAT

 

THE SPIRITUAL MILK AND MEAT  

In Hebrews 5:13, 14 it says, “For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe. But sold food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil”

Milk may be suitable for new-born food but however when you grow up you get to taste other kinds of food and your appetite begins to change. Then milk will no longer be your diet because you find it boring having to eat the same old thing again and again. Like Malaysians we desire for a variety of food and are only natural.

This is the same with spiritual appetites, as we grow spiritually there come a time in our lives when we will not longer be satisfied with receiving repetitive elementary teachings and sometimes some rigid rituals of the Outer Court. But when you hunger and thirst for fresh revelations and the deep things of God then the Holy Spirit will lead you into another area. The fresh “manna of God” found in the Holy Place. Our diet has changed. Now is the time to grow up and enter into the third dimension the place of maturity and glory.

The bible says, “As the deer pants for the water books, so pants my soul for You, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the Living God. When shall I come and appear before God?” (Most Holy Place) – Psalms 42:1, 2 As your desire for more solid food in the Holy Place and after a while it will no long satisfy you. You will long for something more that really satisfies you. And that place is in the realm of the Holy of Holies – that’s where God’s Presence is.

A different kind of spiritual food is found in the Most Holy Place. It is refreshing and consists of God’s quickened word, the Word is “rhema” to you and more fresh revelation and prophetic insights will come. That is where the bible says, “meat belong to those who are of age”.

Jesus says in the gospel, “I have food to eat of which you do not know”. We wonder what kind of food? It must be spiritual. Then Jesus said “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to finished His work.”

In the Outer Court you have the Believer’s Anointing, in the Holy Place you have the Priestly Anointing but in the Most Holy Place you have the Kingly Anointing. You come from His Presence to Stronger Presence and in the Most Holy Place you will be clothed with His Glory. This is the kingly garment of glory. It also symbolizes the unique glorious garments of the high priest. The church will be arrayed with the Bridal gown of Glory. She is being clothed with an increasing measure of His divine glory as the Marriage of the Bride and the Lamb draws near.

Church, you are clothed with the glory of His Righteousness when the power of Most High overshadows you. The glory of God puts a fire and a holy passion in you. It inspires your spirit and causes you to burn with a holy zeal. When you are clothed with robe of glory and righteousness you faith increases and you become bolder having an unusual authority in your spirit.

The bible tells us to wear a spiritual garment when we meet the Lord Jesus. Blessed are those who have the garments for righteousness and glory. The Holy Spirit is busily preparing the Church the Bride of Christ adorning her with gifts and revelations, gracious grace and glorious glory for the soon coming Bridegroom. Day by day there will be that increasing measure of God’s glory and grace upon the Church. This is a very powerful revelation to us.

As Colossians 1:27 says, “To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of GLORY.” Vs 28 “Him we preach, teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus.”

I Peter 4:14 says, “…. Blessed are you, for the Spirit of Glory and of God rest upon you …”

2 Chronicles 7:1-3 says, "Now when Solomon had finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of the Lord filled the temple. vs 2 And the priests could not enter the house of the Lord, because the glory of the Lord had filled the Lord's house. vs. 3 When they saw how the fire came down and the glory of the Lord on the temple, they bowed down their faces to the ground and worshiped and praised the Lord..."

2 Chronicles 5:13,14 "... the house of the Lord was filled with a cloud, so that the priests could not continue ministering because of the cloud; for the glory of the Lord filled the house of God."

May the Glory of God shines through you this Christmas season and others would come to know Jesus!

GARMENTS OF GLORY AND RIGHTEOUSNESS

 

CLOTHED WITH HIS GLORY

“And you shall make holy garments for Aaron your brother, for glory and for beauty” – Exodus 28:2

The bible tells us to put on the garment of praise and to wear the robe of righteousness. However, there is another garment which surpasses all these, it’s more glorious and it is the garment of glory. In the Old Testament the high priest wore the beautiful and glorious garments in the Holy of Holies.

Today we have this robe of RIGHTEOUSNESS given by Jesus to the church, the Bride of Christ. She is being prepared for the ‘Bridal gown of glory”. She is being clothed with an increasing measure of His divine glory as the Marriage of the Bride and the Lamb draws near. The increasing glory of God is upon us the church.

At the beginning of creation, Adam and Eve were not clothed with ordinary garments but with glory. But through their sin they lost the covering of glory and authority.

Firstly, they lost the glorious spiritual covering because they were aware of their nakedness and were ashamed themselves. They decided to cover them with fig leaves “salad dressings” (men works) but this substitute could never replace the lost glory.

Secondly, they lost that special intimate relationship with God which they enjoy with God in the beginning. Their close and sweet relationships were broken.

Thirdly, after losing their glory and intimate closeness with God, they lost their authority, dominion and blessings. A curse was pronounced in their land and work.

Friends, you and I are clothed with glory – together with His Righteousness and Grace. The glory of God puts a holy passion and fire in your lives. It will inspire your spirit and causes to burn with a holy zeal. When you are clothed with the glory there will be an unusual authority in your spirit. Your faith in God increases each day and you will minister to others in a greater dimension of the Spirit. Your life will be transform and your expectations will be different. You will be changed from glory to glory. The glory of God will draws out your anointing of your inner man beyond your ability.

I tell you one of the best sermons is not from those that are heard from great preachers and teachers (respecting them) but those carrying the presence and glory of God. You don’t need to utter a word or to preach some of the most impressive messages. You need only to stand radiating His glory, allowing His Spirit of Grace and Glory to flow and shine through you to others. The glory of God like the Old and New Testament has a tangible and powerful effect. Miracles after miracles will happen just like that without our effort and the effects are penetrative and lasting. Just walk around town and your shadows will heal the sick and diseased.

God's people will indeed be willing in the days of His Power and Glory.

Today, this is the GARMENTS OF GLORY AND RIGHTEOUSNESS we are wearing. Are we conscious of it daily? We talk about righteous conscious what about glory conscious! When the spiritual wedding comes – we need to wear a wedding garment. Blessed are those who have the garments for they will stand before the Lord Jesus – the Bridegroom of Glory. Jesus is the Glory of God and the King of Glory.

The Heavenly Beautician, Holy Spirit is busily preparing the Bride of Christ adorning with the gracious and glorious gifts and grace, garments of righteousness and garments of glory for the soon coming Bridegroom, Jesus. He is preparing upon her an increasing measure of God’s Glory. A show piece to all creation that have ever seen – a BEAUTIFUL BRIDE who is full of the GLORIOUS GLORY of God.
