My Time With Jesus Tuesday

The Blood Has Power

Matthew 26: 28, for this is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.

A covenant has been the most sacred type of contract you could make with someone else. I say sacred because it was almost unthinkable to break a covenant once it was made with someone. We have a covenant with Almighty God Himself.

This covenant called a blood covenant was exemplified by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. There was a solemn agreement between man and God, that could not be broken by God.

Through the years Christians have always considered the blood of Jesus to be one of the most important things they could rely on. They felt so sure about its power that they pleaded the blood of Jesus Christ over themselves, their families, and everything they owned or was precious to them. For a long time many in the church thought it was blasphemy, while others knew the true power of the blood.

After reading quite a bit about the blood of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, I became convinced that if someone wiped up the blood of Jesus at the crucifixion, and they touched a sick person with that rag or towel or whatever it was, that person would be healed. At the time I had no idea just how true that was.

It became almost like a mission in my life to find out as much as I could about the power of the blood through the Bible, and books written by well-known legitimate people like Charles Spurgeon. I also asked the Holy Spirit as I usually do, to help me know the truth, and I believe He showed it to me.

It was then that I found out what I thought was the true meaning of the power of the blood covenant. If God has a blood covenant with us, that guarantees certain rights to us, and we have certain promises to Him. He cannot go back on His word, unless we do. A covenant was unbreakable, with severe consequences for the one who broke it.

Now follow me on this. If we pray to the Father, and plead the blood of Jesus in our prayer, there is no way Father God is going to dishonor the blood of His Son. Therefore, it stands to reason, that if we hold up our end, He will not and cannot ignore our prayers. So, my conclusion was, as long as we keep our end of the covenant, and pray according to the word, Father God will, and must answer our prayer.

Just tell Father God that you are pleading the blood of Jesus over whatever you are asking. One thing that my wife and I do, is tell Father God that we are washed in the blood of Jesus. According to what I read; satan is made totally powerless against the blood. It wouldn't be a bad idea to plead the blood over every person you love every day.

Romans 5: 9, since, therefore, we have now been justified by His blood, how much more shall we be saved by Him from the wrath of God.

1 John 1: 7, if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.

God Bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.

Prayer of Salvation.

My Lord Jesus Christ, I Thank you and Praise you for what you did on the cross for me. By your stripes I was healed and your blood washed away my sins. Your death and resurrection made my salvation possible. I confess my sins, and I ask you to come into my heart as my personal savior. Thank You

Amen! 

Praise The Lord!
