WELCOME TO GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING

The title of today’s episode: POWER IN THE BLOOD /PLEADING THE BLOOD OF JESUS

Most people know that in Ephesians chapter six it speaks of the whole armor of God. We have a shield of faith. Our faith is what makes us strong. Our faith protects us from attacks of the enemy. Faith is how we receive our blood covering, by faith we believe on God for salvation.

Eph 6:11-12 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

In the story of the Children of Israel, God told Moses to tell the people to kill a lamb and place the blood on the door posts. This was a sign to the death angel that would pass over that house. All the houses in Egypt that didn’t have the blood over the door, would have a death of its first born. This is a foreshadowing of Christ and how his blood is placed over the door of our heart. The placement of the blood prevented death. Christ’s blood on our lives prevents spiritual death.

This event was a life-changing moment in the lives of everyone on both sides. It was the beginning of freedom to God’s people. The enemy was seeing that they were no match for the One True God.

I don’t think it was a coincidence that they passed through the Red Sea. I believe the name of the sea is prophetic and represents the blood line.  God’s people went through, but Egypt could not follow. They could not because God had drawn the blood line. He said to the tormentors, you will not trouble my people any longer, you can go no further.

Jesus always brought freedom to the hurting and sick. He brought joy and understanding to those that lacked the education of the Pharisees. To the arrogant and elite, he brought fear and trepidation. They were afraid of his popularity, because they didn’t want to lose their standing in the community.

As people who are blood bought, spirit filled Children of the most high God, we too have been set apart. Because the blood of Jesus has been applied to our lives, we have victory in our Lord Jesus Christ.  There is not a devil in hell that can come through the blood.

There is power in the name of Jesus. The blood has transforming power. There is nothing the enemy can throw at us that can overpower the blood of Jesus. We cannot fear what the enemy is doing or going to try next. We need to plead the blood against it.

For those of you who are new to Christianity the phrase “plead the blood” means we ask God for his blood covering against the situation. Since the enemy cannot cross the blood line, then we can plead the blood for protection. In other words, we are asking for God to draw a blood line around us to keep us from the enemy. Many illnesses are demonic attacks, whether you want to believe it or not. They are spirits that are on assignment to distract us from our assignment by causing us to have pain and symptoms of disease. When we plead the blood of Jesus against these attacks, we are asking for a blood line that the enemy cannot cross.

Before you say the blood is not for healing, Jesus took stripes for our healing. Not only our spiritual healing, but emotional and physical healing as well. He wants us to be completely whole, body, mind and spirit. Jesus is the only way to achieve this balance.  Having this balance or wholeness is the best way to be effective in the world around us. If we are out of balance in any area it can keep us from running our race effectively.

Faith in Jesus Christ is our shield, the blood is our covering. We often are told to check our hearts to make sure all of our sins are under the blood of Jesus. We do this by repenting immediately if we know we have slipped up. But it is good to also ask for forgiveness for the things we do not realize we have done.

As we move forward, our country is in need of prayer. There has never been a time that it needs prayer more than now. Fear and fearmongering are trying to take control of our society. We need to stand strong and not allow fear to get a toe hold. I am sure things looked scary for the children of Israel. God parted a sea for them, he can do exceedingly, abundantly more than we ask or think to take care of his people today.

Eph 3:20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,

The power of the Holy Ghost within us will give us the strength and power to face whatever the enemy tries to throw our way. Walk in Love, Encourage One Another, Pray for God’s Peace Against Fear. We will make it as long as we stay under the blood covering of our Lord Jesus Christ. Remember; There is power in the blood.

Until next time,

BE BOLD, BE BRAVE AND KEEP YOUR GOD FOCUS

EPISODE 244 – PLEADING THE BLOOD

EPISODE 244 – PLEADING THE BLOOD

I have been doing online research about what others have said about, pleading the blood of Jesus. This is something I grew up around and never thought about where it came from until I started to look deeper. Although there is not a bible verse that specifically says to say these words, I do not believe it to be harmful as some would have you believe. Some have gone as far as comparing it to an incantation or magical words. Which is witchcraft. I assure you it is not an incantation or spell. People who plead the blood say it to acknowledge the work of Jesus to give us salvation and power over our enemy.

Sometimes, when we are in situations, we desperately need God to move, we plead the blood against it. This means that we are saying, “I accept that you have given us power over the enemy and that he will not prevail because of the blood of Jesus.”

I have seen God move in serious situations where someone prayed and pleaded the blood against the enemy. I know it to be a valid practice.

Faith moves God. Far too long Christians have torn each other apart over our practices and beliefs. When we should be working on reasoning together and seeing people saved, healed and delivered from satan and hell. If you don’t feel it is necessary, then don’t do it.

When Israel was about to leave Egypt, we all know the story of the Passover and how they applied the blood of a spotless lamb to the door as a seal. That was a foreshadowing of how Jesus would become the lamb that would take away the sins of the world. His blood cleanses all sins.

When we plead the blood, we are saying that we acknowledge that Jesus’ blood cleanses all of our sins. There is power in that blood to save, heal and deliver. Without that blood we would not have the right to ask for anything else. Without the blood, we cannot become children of God. We would not receive his Spirit, which empowers us to live as Christians. We have power over the powers of the enemy because we are part of God’s family. That comes through the blood of Jesus.

By pleading the blood we are saying, I accept that your ways are higher than mine, your sacrifice is a covenant to save and deliver me. Through the blood we have access to the power of God to save, heal and deliver us from all manner of attacks of the enemy. God is our defense. When we plead the blood we are acknowledging what he did for us on the cross.

This is not a magic phrase, as some would argue. But these same people also do not preach blood as redemption for our sins, because it is too gory. Their megachurches are all about their smoke machines and entertainment. We don’t go to church to be entertained. Church is not about us. It is about worship of the one true God and his plan for our lives.

 We understand that God works everything for our good. Sometimes, things we want to happen do not because they are out of the will of God. Pleading the blood against a situation helps us to turn it over to God for his will to be done. We have to pray according to his will. The best way to do this is outlined in Jude.

Jude verse 20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost.

We have to get into the spirit of prayer, allowing our spirit to pray. When our spirit connects to God, it is easier to pray His will in our situations. Praying in the spirit causes all of our human wants and desires to fall away. It gets us to yield the situation to God for his will to be done.

Prayer and the power of prayer is a vast subject. Many books have been written about how to pray. Many make it too complicated. Prayer is connecting to God. Spending time in that secret place with him and waiting for him to answer. I have barely scratched the surface on the subject.

I will continue to plead the blood over my life. I want to keep my sins under the blood. I want to be found faithful on the day of his return. I hope that this will encourage you to pray for God to guide you in all things.

Until next time,

BE BOLD, BE BRAVE AND KEEP YOUR GOD FOCUS
