The Blood of Jesus - The Power

I have used the Passion Translation Bible in this teaching as it is taken from the Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic languages.  So unless otherwise stated, scripture in this teaching will be from the Passion Bible.  The Passion Translation Bible brings the Word of God alive to the reader.  Indeed, in Hebrews 4:12, the Word of God teaches us, "For we have the living Word of God, which is full of energy, like a two-mouthed sword"; [God speaks His Word, then we, in agreement, also speak His Word and it becomes a "two-mouthed sword".]  It will even penetrate to the very core of our being where soul and spirit, bone and marrow meet!  It interprets and reveals the true thoughts and secret motives of our hearts.  Praise the Lord!

 

 

  

(TPT) Revelation 12-11  "They conquered him (satan) completely through the Blood of the Lamb and the powerful word of His (bold put in by me) testimony.  They triumphed because they did not cling to their own lives, even when faced with death". 

 

 

So what is the Power in the Blood of Jesus?  

 

In every living thing that has a heart, the blood is what gives life.   Let's consider our bodies.  You can have a complete body, with everything intact, but if there is no blood flowing through the body, there is no life. The flesh is dead. The life is in the blood and the blood is what gives the flesh life.

 

Prior to the birth and death of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, when God demanded that the people's sins be atoned for, the Priests had to kill an unblemished lamb, allowing all of the blood, the life force, to be poured out to make atonement for the sins of the people.  The actual blood of the animal wasn't powerful within itself, it was God's accepting of it that gave it that power.  Thus, the animal became a substitute, dying in the place of man.  But God was not pleased with this type of sacrifice or of burnt offerings to atone for man's sin.  This type of sacrifice had to be offered over and over again.  The blood of animals that were sacrificed did not have the power to cancel out the first covenant and that's what was needed to put the second covenant into effect.  There was only one sacrifice that had the power to make null and void the first covenant and put into full effect the 2nd covenant...

 

The only blood sacrifice that could once and for all atone for the sins of man, and reconcile them back to the Father, and thus satisfy the heart of God, would have to be God Himself; the Word agreed to the Father's will and the Word of God who was God became flesh and dwelt among men and sacrificed Himself, took all of the sins of mankind from the past, the present and all future sins, and placed them on Himself, (He became sin), Jesus, the King of Glory, and He was beaten until he was unrecognizable, bruised, spat on, thorns shoved down into His head, back flesh ripped off of Him until His internal organs could be seen, he was mocked and ridiculed, and then he was made to carry the cross that He would be nailed to and crucified on, being beaten with whips along the way, while carrying the cross.  Then at Golgotha, Jesus, the King of Glory was nailed to the cross and His life force, His Blood was poured out, and seeped into the ground and God the Father accepted the sacrifice of His Beloved Son Jesus, to atone for all our sins, past, present, and future.  God the Father decreed for as many who would, (by an act of our free will), believe in His Son, Jesus the Christ, and accept and receive the sacrifice He paid for us, so that our sins, if we confess them, and we ask for His forgiveness, and we give our lives over to the Lord Jesus and follow in His way, we would be forgiven and we would be reconciled to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit and we would never again be separated from them.

 

The Blood of Jesus was poured out as a sacrifice unto God and His Blood seeped into the ground, and because of His obedience unto the Father, His Blood purified and broke the curse that God placed on the ground due to Adam's disobedience when he listened to the voice of his wife, Eve, and ate from the tree which God commanded them not to eat. 

 

Jesus' Blood reconciled everything to Himself.  Jesus made peace with everything in Heaven and on the earth by means of His Blood being poured out as He was crucified on the cross. Jesus' Blood was undefiled; His Blood was pure and did not contain a trace of death's contamination.  Jesus' Blood contained all healing and purification properties.  God paid our ransom with the life-Blood of Jesus His Son, to rescue and save us from the empty, sinful life we inherited from our ancestors.  The Blood of Jesus contains the power to purge the evil and the death, that flows through our own veins.  The power in the Blood of Jesus was and is the boundless power of our Creator God!

 

When we accept Jesus Christ into our life, believing that He is God, that He was made flesh, that He was born of a virgin, and that He took all of the sins of the world, past, present and future upon Himself, and that He was crucified on the cross because of our sins, and that He poured out His Blood for us, and that He died a sinner's death (He took our place on the cross) and that He was resurrected to Life, then God the Father imparts Jesus' life-giving Blood into our veins.  Our faith allows us to believe and to receive a supernatural "Blood transfusion" from Jesus that carries eternal life.  This eternal life, now in our own blood, forever expels the contamination of Adam's sin that once polluted our blood stream.  

 

(NIV) Exodus 12:23 & 24.

 

 

We plead the Blood of Jesus to God on behalf of ourselves, our children, and our loved ones, for His protection.

 

 

Hallelujah!
