The Power in the Blood

 

Text: Revelation 12:11 (KJV)

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.

Friends, congratulations as we end the month with thanksgiving and put a seal by the power in the blood of Jesus. Hence, the blood of Jesus represents the price Christ paid for our redemption and deliverance. So, through His blood, we receive forgiveness, cleansing, reconciliation with God, and victory over the power of sin and darkness. Sometimes, people allow guilt and past mistakes to convince them that they are too far from God. But the blood of Jesus speaks of God's mercy and redemption. 1 John 1:7 says, “The blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.” The blood of Jesus reminds us that our past does not have to determine our future. We can walk into freedom, and a restored relationship with God. Exodus 12:13 - And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye 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.

Amazingly, during the Passover in Egypt, the Israelites were instructed to place the blood of a lamb on their doorposts. When the destroying angel passed through Egypt, the houses marked with blood were protected. This points us to the greater sacrifice of Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, whose blood brings redemption. Hebrews 9:22 reminds us, “without shedding of blood is no remission. Also, Ephesians 1:7 - In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace. Therefore, don't allow condemnation to keep you away from God. Let’s come boldly to Him through Christ, knowing that Jesus paid the price for your redemption no matter your current situation in Jesus name.

Prayer Point:

Father, thank You for the precious blood of Jesus that cleanse, redeems, and gives me victory. Help me to walk continually in the freedom Christ has purchased for me in Jesus’ name.

Action Quote: Friends, never underestimate the power of the blood of Jesus because what sin damaged, His blood can redeem.
