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.
