THE BLOOD OF JESUS IS A WEAPON
The Bible tells us that we are in a spiritual war and that God
has given us weapons to fight with and win this war.
He God says the battlefield is in the mind. It is what we
believe,think, and speak, and the world, he flesh and the
devil try constantly to lead us astray in these very same areas.
Believing, thinking, and speaking.

God teaches us as we read and study the Bible, as we apply
the things we learn in the Bible to our life 
how to live a very victorious life. How to be an
overcomer in all areas of life.

Lots of Christian believe in Jesus but not so many understand
the spiritual warfare we are in and how to win.

Here are some of the weapons God has given to live
successfully on the earth in His kingdom.

Praise, and worship.
Trust and obedience
Speaking the word over our circumstances
Believing God's promises not the devils lies
Giving of our time and money to 

help and serve others
intercessory prayer
The list goes on and on.

There are both offensive and defensive 
weapons to go on the offense with and weapons to
defend our selves with

Today we are going to talk about the weapon of warfare 

the Blood of Jesus Christ.

In the old testament in the book of genesis God told the
israelites to apply blood on the doorposts of their houses. 
They did this and the death angel that god sent to Egypt passed
over them and yet killed all the firstborn of Egypt. 
Not one of the israelites died 

This blood was a defensive weapon to protect 
these people from death.

Now God has s given us His Word. He's given us His Spirit.
And if you'll read verses 10 and 11 in 
Revelation chapter 12, you'll see another weapon that God has given us.


And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come
salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, 

and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren
is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. 

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.

(Rev. 12:10-11)

That.s right we can overcome satan by the blood
of the lamb, that's what Jesus said.


the blood of Jesus is one the most powerful weapon we have
against the devil. And it is high time we started to use it. 
It's time we started applying the blood by faith every
single day of our lives!

Why is applying the blood of Jesus so powerful?


The blood of Jesus speaks better things than
the blood of Abel (Hebrews 12:24) 


The blood of Jesus can speak destruction upon your enemies,
healing to your body, protection to your family, etc. 

The blood of Jesus brings life to you. The Bible says,
 
the life of the flesh is in the blood (Leviticus 17:11) 

The blood of Jesus contains the life of Jesus. Divine life!
​The power for overcoming is in this blood.

For one thing, the blood ratifies or confirms our covenant
with God. (See Hebrews 13:20, Amplified Bible.) 

When you plead or apply the blood of Jesus, you are
activating God's covenant promises to you. 

Does God's Word promise you protection? 
Yes, and the blood activates that protection for you! 

Does God's Word promise you deliverance? 
Yes, and the blood activates that deliverance for you!


Another vital truth about Jesus' blood is that it pays the price f
or all sin. Therefore, when we repent of our sins and receive
the blood by faith it puts us in perfect right standing with
 God. 

First John 1:7 says it this way, "If we walk in the light, as he
(God) is in the light, we have fellowship one with another,
and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin."


We all miss God's best at times.
 We stumble into sin and we make mistakes. 

The devil would like to use those things to gain entrance
into our lives. But when we plead and apply the blood, 
it seals off those entrances. It shuts off the 
devil's access to us. 

The blood is a spiritual sign that says to Satan, 
"This is God's property. KEEP OUT!"


One of the first and most powerful demonstrations of
how the blood works to protect is the first 
Passover recorded in the book of Exodus. 

You probably remember the story. The Israelites had become
slaves in the land of Egypt. God had sent Moses to tell the
Egyptian Pharaoh to let the Israelites go. Pharaoh had refused
and as a result, Egypt had been
 stricken with nine plagues.

Finally, God gave Pharaoh an ultimatum:

Thus saith the Lord, About midnight will I go out in the
midst of Egypt: and all the firstborn in the 
land of Egypt shall die, 


from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sits upon his throne,
even unto the firstborn of the maidservant that is
behind the mill; 
and all the firstborn of beasts. And there
shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as
there was none like it, 


nor shall be like it any more. But against any of the children
of Israel shall not a dog move his tongue, against man or beast: 


that ye may know how that the Lord doth put a difference
between the Egyptians and Israel.  (Ex. 11:4-7)


listen that last line again. It says God was going to put a difference between the Egyptians and the Israelites. 

He was going to keep His people alive and well in the midst of the most terrible plague the earth had ever known.

How would He do it? By applying the blood 

of a sacrificial lamb!

God instructed each family of Israelites to sacrifice a lamb, which was a type, or foreshadow of 
the true Lamb of God, 
the Lord Jesus. 

Then He told them to take the blood of that lamb and 
apply it to the doorposts of their houses.

For 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. 


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.
(Ex. 12:12-13)


No doubt, you know the rest of the story. 
The Israelites were kept safe by the blood 
just as God promised. 


And that very night, God brought them out of Egypt.
He set them free and they went forth completely healed and whole.

We know they did because 
Psalm 105:37 says that God "brought [Israel] forth
also with silver and gold, and there 

was not one feeble person among their tribes" 

In other words, God not only delivered them from captivity. He delivered them into their inheritance!

The same thing is true for us today. If we will apply the blood of Jesus, we'll not only be delivered from the 
destruction of the devil and the calamities of this world, we'll be brought into the glorious plan of God!

Saints in years past understood that better than we do today. 


Sister Maria Woodworth Etter, 
for example, ministered during the late 1800s and in her services she would come out on the platform and say, 
"I sprinkle the blood." When she did people all over the congregation would fall under the power of God. 
Many would be healed and delivered. The blood ushered in God's glory.

Of course, Sister Etter didn't actually have to

 sprinkle blood over the congregation. 
Jesus Himself as our high priest has already done that. The book of Hebrews says that after He
 was crucified and resurrected,
He entered into the sanctuary of heaven itself and offered His own blood as an eternal sacrifice to cleanse our sins for all time.

What Sister Etter did was release her faith in the 

power of that blood by speaking about it. 
She applied the blood with the words of her mouth. She was following the prescription for victory we saw in 
Revelations 12:11, "
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb,
and by the word of their testimony!"


Remember this: It is not enough for us just to 

believe in the power of Jesus' blood. 
It's not enough for us just to trust that His 
blood cleanses and protects us. 

We have to do something about it. We have to apply the
blood of the Lamb over our households as surely as the 
Israelites did on that first Passover night. Not by taking a brush and
painting blood on our doorposts, 
but by opening our mouths in faith and
saying things like this prayer


"Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus, by faith apply the
blood of Jesus over each member of my family today. 


I thank You that His blood covers all of us, spirit, soul and body.
I thank You that His blood protects us 

from the attacks of the devil and keeps us safe today. 

I thank You that the blood delivers us from the 

schemes of Satan and delivers us into the 
glorious plan of God!"


Please understand, I'm not giving you a set prayer to pray.
There's nothing magical about any certain set of words. 

But there is something extremely powerful about faith-filled
words released in accordance with the Word of God.

Let's enjoy every blessing that Christ obtained for us.
Let's apply the blood of Jesus and show forth 
what He has done for us. 


It's not God's responsibility to see that we
 receive His blessings. 
It's our responsibility to activate the promises of 
God through our words.

And when we speak the Word, 
we will see all that God has provided for us 

become a reality in our lives
Remember God loves you and is
​your Savior, best friend, helper and companion forever
