The Power Of Jesus Blood : By Rev. Christopher J. Derring ,Th.D

 

There is a substance so powerful, so awesome, that it has completely cleansed us from all sin. Even the very trace that sin was ever there upon us. A substance that has brought healing to our bodies, and deliverance to our souls. This substance is The blood of Jesus Christ which was poured out for us on Calvary’s cross. It is the Blood that saves, it is the Blood that heals, it is the Blood that delivers, it is the Blood that overcomes the enemy, It is the Blood that has purchased our eternal life and Righteousness. How precious and how Wonderful is the Blood. What a price that was paid to shed it. There is no greater substance in the Universe, None more important, than the Blood Of Jesus Christ. For without it Humanity would have no hope, and no future.

“Standing in the courtroom, When I heard, "how do you plead?" The accuser of the brethren Was staring at me. He said, we got your number There is no escape. For here are your transgressions, Your failures and mistakes. He pointed to the corner Where the scales of justice stood. I saw so many failures there. There was nothing good. And in that very moment, When it seemed all hope was lost, I said, I plead the blood of Jesus And his death upon the cross ! One drop of blood Fell to the scales. It covered my transgressions And all the times I failed. The enemy was mighty, he came in like a flood, he was defeated by one drop of (JESUS) blood. I stood and watched in silence As others were brought in. I saw them start to tremble When they turned and faced their sin They offered no excuses, They offered no alibis, The truth was overwhelming, And it would not be denied Their righteousness like filthy rags And nothing they could say, They bowed their heads in silence As they were led away. But for the true believers Each time it was the same, His glory shown around them As they called upon His name
One drop of blood Fell to the scales. It covered their transgressions And all the times they failed. The enemy was mighty He came in like a flood. He was defeated by one drop of (JESUS) blood. No greater sacrifice has any other made. Oh yes He (JESUS) paid the price. With every drop He gave.” “Ray Boltz”

53Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. John 6:53

Just as the Blood in our veins brings life to our physical bodies and without it there would be no life, we would die very quickly if started bleeding and did nothing about it, in a manner of minutes we would be dead. So our Spirits are alive by the Blood of Jesus and without His Blood we are Spiritually dead.

11For the life of the flesh is in the blood…. Leviticus 17:11

For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. Matthew 26:28

25-26God sacrificed Jesus on the altar of the world to clear that world of sin. Having faith in him sets us in the clear. God decided on this course of action in full view of the public—to set the world in the clear with himself through the sacrifice of Jesus, finally taking care of the sins he had so patiently endured. This is not only clear, but it's now—this is current history! God sets things right. He also makes it possible for us to live in his rightness. Romans 3:25 (The Message Bible)

Having faith in Jesus, sets us free from sin. Why ? Because Jesus paid our debt for us by shedding His Blood. The whole of Christendom rests upon the Blood of Christ, in fact the Church has been purchased and established by the Shedding Of Jesus’ Blood.

We must get it in us the great importance of The Blood, as well as how to use the Blood today. In accordance with the Bible.

9Therefore, since we are now justified (acquitted, made righteous, and brought into right relationship with God) by Christ's blood, how much more [certain is it that] we shall be saved by Him from the indignation and wrath of God. Romans 5:9 (Amplified Bible)

The only difference between a Christian and a Non-Christian is, that the Christian is Covered by the Blood of Jesus. The Non-Christian is not. So when the Judgment of God comes God will see the Blood of Christ upon the Christian and that Blood will be sufficient for God, Therefore, His wrath will not come upon us, even though we have fallen short, all God sees is that Precious Blood upon us. But when the Non-Christian comes before God all God sees is the sin and the failure that person has committed, because there is no Blood upon the Non Believer to satisfy God’s wrath. That person will receive Judgment. Whereas the Believer receives Love and Mercy. The Christian is not any better than the Non-Christian, many times we don’t even live any better lifestyle than a Non-Christian, we are merely covered by the Blood. And that Blood is what makes us righteous and clean and acceptable before God and in God’s eyes we are Holy, because God only sees the Blood. Praise the Lord Jesus for His sacrifice of His Blood.

Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. Hebrews 9:12

After Jesus was raised from the dead He went up into Heaven into the Holy Of Holies. Into the Throne room of God. And Jesus then presented God with a sacrifice, His own shed Blood. Jesus was in essence saying to Father God, Here is the payment you required

For the sins of all Humanity. And God said, The debt, from that moment on is paid in full, with no further payments, not by Jesus, not by man, to ever be required again. When Jesus died on the cross He said IT IS FINISHED ! That means we don’t have to earn our salvation, we can’t be Good and go to Heaven, we must only accept Jesus and His sacrifice and our debt is paid in full, Forever.

19-21So, friends, we can now—without hesitation—walk right up to God, into "the Holy Place." Jesus has cleared the way by the blood of his sacrifice, acting as our priest before God. The "curtain" into God's presence is his body. Hebrews 10:19 (The Message Bible)

Not only has the Blood washed away our sins, but it also has given us free access to Father God. We can now go before Him Boldly, Knowing that we have a right to be there. Before the Cross we were separated from God, we had no access, no privileges. But now we, as God’s Children, can go before our Daddy and seek Him and talk to Him and He will even talk back to us ,Praise God !

The Blood of Jesus brings Protection !

1And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt saying,

2This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you. 3Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house: 4And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbor next unto his house take it according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb. 5Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats: 6And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening. 7And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it. 8And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it. 9Eat not of it raw, nor sodden at all with water, but roast with fire; his head with his legs, and with the purtenance thereof.

10And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; and that which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire. 11And thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is the LORD's passover. 12For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD. 13And 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. Exodus 12:1-12

The blood here is a type and shadow of the Blood of Christ. The blood of the spotless lamb applied to the Israelites door posts brought protection from God’s wrath and Judgment. Likewise the blood of Jesus Christ brings protection upon us from every attack of the Devil. While the blood of the lamb in Exodus was applied by the earthly hands of men upon the door posts. The Divine Blood of Jesus the Lamb of God is applied upon our lives by Faith. When we speak the blood over ourselves, and over our situations It will bring Divine protection. We must “Plead the Blood Of Jesus Christ” over ourselves daily.

Once there was a Pastor and his wife, they went away on a missions trip and left behind there two small children with a nanny. The Pastor and his wife were having a great crusade with many salvations, and healings. People were being delivered from Satanic powers and filled with the Holy Ghost. One night midway through the weeks services the Pastor had a dream, in the dream, Satan appeared to him and said that tomorrow while his little children were outside playing in the back yard, he was going to send two foxes with rabies to bite and kill the Pastor’s children. The Pastor woke up. He told his wife of the dream and they began to rebuke the Devil. Then they both Pleaded the Blood of Jesus all around their property back home. They finished the weeks services with many more people getting blessed. When the Pastor got home He was cutting the grass in the back yard and he found two dead foxes right were his property line was. The minute Satan sent those foxes to kill the children the foxes touched the Pastors property and they Hit right into the Blood Line that The Pastor and his wife had pleaded days before. When the foxes were sent into the lab they were both found to be carrying rabies just as Satan had told the Pastor in his dream. But because they pleaded the Blood of Jesus, by faith, their children were protected from that Satanic attack sent to try and kill them. Praise God for the Power of Jesus’ Blood !

The Blood Covenant

6But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.

Hebrews 8:6

We, as Christians, are in a Covenant with God. It is like a contract between believers and God. This Covenant is sealed and signed by the Blood of Jesus Christ and as partakers of this Covenant we have certain rights and privileges that those outside the Covenant,(non-believers) do not.

1Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.

2Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: 3Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; 4Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; 5Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.

Psalm 103:1-5

God, through Jesus Blood, has given us Salvation, Healing, prosperity, deliverance, peace, joy, and Spiritual authority. All of these things belong to us as a result of our Blood Covenant with God, through Christ Jesus.

24And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel. Hebrews 12:24

We must always remember the great and awesome power that is Jesus shed Blood.

We must remember the great price Jesus had to pay to shed His Blood for us. And we always must use the Blood, By Pleading the blood over us, and our families every day. I never leave my house unless I first plead the Blood of Jesus over myself. When I feel sick, I plead the Blood of Jesus for healing. I plead the blood of Jesus over my house before I go to bed at night. I am always aware of the Blood and what it has done, and is doing for me. All Glory be to Jesus My Lord !
