THE POWER IN THE BLOOD OF JESUS
There is power in the blood of Jesus! Jesus is the Lamb of God who was sacrificed on the cross for the redemption of mankind. He came into the world in the form of a man and was found sinless. Because of this, his sacrifice was highly accepted by God and set above every other sacrifice forever. Symbolically, God has been revealing His plan of sending His Son as the Lamb of God, from the dispensation of the dispensation of the Old Testament till its complete fulfilment in the New Testament, where Christ appeared to offer himself in Genesis 22:8, 13, 12:3, and Lev 4:32. He shed his blood on the cross and said, “It is finished.” This means that he has completed his redemption mission and that no sacrifice can be made again.
Spiritual significance of blood
In the things of the spirit, the use of blood is very essential. This is why almost every religion in the world requires the use of blood to perform one thing or another. But Christ’s blood is the highest and most powerful. Hebrews 9. In the kingdom of darkness, it is not an exception. In fact, it is even worse since the use of human blood is very common. The devil and his worshippers are always in desperate need of human blood for their ritual, initiation, purification, empowerment, renewal, and promotion purposes. To get this accomplished, they will go about shedding innocent blood, either spiritually or physically. Many of the of the disasters we have been hearing about are not ordinary. They have already been planned and programmed in order to drink blood and empower themselves.
You can understand this well when you read the book of Job. Job did not know that it was Satan who had been causing those disasters as we know them today. The Bible makes us know that, as soon as Satan received permission from God, he went straight away, targeting the day of their gathering and causing a series of calamities upon them {Job 1:6-22}. He killed his servants and children and finally stroked Job with sickness. He is still into this business of shedding blood with his followers today. He does not change and cannot change. He was the same yesterday and today until his judgment. This is why calling the blood of Jesus is very relevant to our spiritual wares. They empower themselves with the blood to fight and win. Therefore, calling on the blood of Jesus will surely neutralise their powers since Christ offered the highest and final blood.
The power of the blood revealed in Exodus 12:13
“And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the uses where are; and when I see the blood, I will pass over you; and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.”.
This was the picture of Christ’s sacrifice and redemption power in his blood. Life is in the blood, and where life is, there is power. Lev. 17:14; John 6:53–54. God directed the children of Israel that every household should kill a lamb without blemish and strike the blood on the two side posts and on the upper door post of their houses because the Lord is going to pass through the land of Egypt that night and smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast. He told them that the blood on their door posts shall be to them as a token {sign or mark} upon the house where they are. That when He shall see the blood, He shall pass over them, and the plague {destroyer} shall not be upon them to destroy them. And this came to pass that night, according to the word of the Lord (Exodus 12:4–13, 29).
Redemption through the blood of Jesus
Exodus 12 was just a shadow of things to come. If it was the blood of an ordinary lamb they used and God honoured it, how much more the blood of the Lamb of God, who was sinless? This is why there is power in the blood of Jesus when applied correctly. Jesus has defeated the devil and his cohorts on the cross through the shedding of his blood. And through his blood too, we were redeemed and had victory over the evil one (Col. 1:14, 2:15; Rev. 12:11).
We have victory already over the devil. There is no need to fear again when wrestling against him. Spiritually, the blood of Jesus is exhaustibly available for us. We are to activate it by declaring it during our battles. The following are the ways we can declare the blood of Jesus against the forces of darkness and have a complete victory:.
1: Become a true child of God.
2: Study and internalise God’s word {know and quote the verses where the blood is used in the Bible}
3: Live a holy life.
Mention it many times during the battle.
Sprinkle or cover all your possessions with blood; where you know, the devil can have entrance to you by mentioning their names one by one, {just as the Lord told them to do on their doorpost, which was the entrance for the destroyer}. Do this demonstratively with your hands as you mention their names and believe that it is done. There is also power in demonstration!
6 Declare it during evil hours, {e.g., midnight}
7 Declare it with boldness and faith in God’s word.
