The Power in the Blood of Jesus.....



Have you ever been at the beach, scribbled something on the sand and then the waves from the sea comes ashore, wipes off completely what had been written and there is no sign of it at all? This is exactly what happens when our sins have been washed away in the blood of Jesus. There is no trace, no memory, it is completely washed away by the precious blood of Jesus.

There is so much power in the blood of Jesus. The blood of Jesus washes away our sins and makes us clean, as white as snow. There is no remembrance of past sins when our sins have been washed by the blood of Jesus. The blood sets us free from the curse, which is caused by sin, so that we might receive the blessings of Abraham. It doesn’t matter how bad the sin is there is hope because God loves us so much and his mercies are new every morning. God is always willing to forgive us “Come now, let us reason together says the Lord though your sins are like scarlet they shall be as white as snow, though they are like crimson they shall be as wool. If you are willing and obedient you shall eat the good of the land”.  The moment you make Jesus Christ the Lord of your life you are redeemed from the curse. The curse is death, sin, sickness, disease, poverty, lack, depression etc.
Death is the curse and the penalty for sin. So every time we sin, the penalty is death. Even if physical death does not happen immediately it opens up a door for death to occur in other areas of our lives, death in our bodies, death in our businesses, death in our marriages, death in our finances, death in its various forms and then physical death. To atone for sin blood must be shed because the life is in the blood, so someone who is without sin must bear the punishment in place of the person who is forgiven. ‘For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul’. Leviticus 17:11 (KJV) without shedding of the blood there is no forgiveness. Heb 9:22
In the old testament the high priest offered the blood of animals, but our high priest Jesus Christ gave his own life as a sacrifice for sin with his own blood, he could pay the ultimate penalty for our sin because he was without sin. He entered the most holy place once and for all and obtained eternal redemption.  If the blood of goats and bulls could cleanse the body, how much more will the sacred blood of the Messiah thoroughly cleanse our consciences from dead works Heb 9: 12-14 The blood of Jesus makes us whole, the blood of Jesus makes us what God has created us to be, the very life of God flows in us through the blood of Jesus there is so much power in the blood of Jesus. And remember that the heavenly Father to whom you pray has no favorites. He will judge or reward you according to what you do. So you must live in reverent fear of him during your time here as “temporary residents.” For you know that God paid a ransom to save you from the empty life you inherited from your ancestors. And it was not paid with mere gold or silver, which lose their value. It was the precious blood of Christ, the sinless, spotless Lamb of God. 1 Peter 1: 17-19 God paid a high price for our redemption so we should not waste it.
God is light, and there is no darkness in him at all. So we are lying if we say we have fellowship with God but go on living in spiritual darkness; we are not practicing the truth.  But if we are living in the light, as God is in the light, then we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, cleanses us from all sin. To walk in the light does not mean that we have no sin, but we continually cleanse ourselves by the blood, but this does not mean we are to walk in darkness because if we are walking in darkness then we don’t have fellowship with God.
I once heard the late Reinhard Bonnke say an atheist told him there is no power in the blood of Jesus because the blood of Jesus has been available on the earth for 2000 years but the world is worse than it was 2000 years ago so the blood of Jesus has not made the world become better but worse . Reinard Bonkee then responded to the atheist saying “there is still soap in this world but yet many people are still dirty”, he said “let me explain how soap works in case you don’t know. If I am dirty and I stand next to a piece of soap I will not automatically become clean, even if I worked in a soap factory I will not be automatically clean. If you want to know what soap can do then you need to reach the soap take it and apply it, and so it is with the blood of Jesus, it is not enough to know it, it is not enough to sing about it, it is not enough to preach about it , but you have to reach it, apply it to your sinful life and when you do, something will happen to you that has already happened to billions of people across the world, then you will say there is power in the blood of Jesus. I enjoin you to make use of the power of the blood of Jesus that is available to you and your life will never remain the same.

DOING GOOD...

Acts 10:38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power who went about doing good, and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him. Jesus Christ is still in the business of doing good and healing all who are oppressed by the devil.   Many people consider being sick as being bed ridden on the hospital bed or being weak in the body and not being able to function well or being mentally sick like being visibly mad. The truth is many are not visibly physically sick or visibly mentally sick but are sick because the devil has oppressed them so much they don’t even know how sick they are, and Jesus came to heal all those who are oppressed by the devil and is still doing so. John 10:10 A thief is only there to steal and kill and destroy. I came so they can have real and eternal life, more and better life than they ever dreamed of ( MSG). The devil comes to steal, to kill, and to destroy, so the devil is on a mission he has a clear pla...

Washing Each Other's Feet

Reading through the Holy Bible it was common for servants to wash the feet of guests, maybe because they had travelled long distances and their feet usually got dirty on the way, or maybe because they used to wear mostly sandals in those days, I’m not really sure why this was the case. 1 Sam 25; 41 washing the feet of others was a servant task. When Mary washed Jesus feet and anointed it, it was a show of her love and deep gratitude to Jesus for all he had done for her and her family John 12: 1-8. When Jesus washed his disciple’s feet it was a show of his humility, service and love, the type that we are enjoined to emulate as Christians here on earth John 13: 1-17. To wash someone’s feet requires pretty close personal contact, when I know my feet are very dirty and I’m having a pedicure I often feel pity for the poor pedicurist but I guess because it’s the nature of their job I’m ok with it, if it was a friend or acquaintance doing the same pedicure for me I probably would feel ...

WISE BUILDERS

The Oxford dictionary describes a building as a structure with a roof and walls, such as a house or factory and a temple as a building devoted to the worship of a god or gods. When Solomon built the temple of God, to show reverence to God the building was built in silence, the stones were very costly, carefully hewed and cut to dimension and made ready at the quarry before being transported to the temple site where they would fit perfectly together(1 Kings 5: 16-17; 6:7). The temple that Solomon built no longer exists, it was destroyed by the Babylonians because the children of Israel became rebellious to God and the presence of God no longer dwelt there. God is building a new temple, we are this new temple of God. The temple of God is a living house composed of living stones its building has an architect and that architect is God Ephesians 2: 20- 22 20  having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief corner stone, 21...
