Honor The Blood Pt #2

SF, Stagecoach, NV

Dear Brothers & Sisters,
     This is part #2 it will be finished today.  I hope you’re applying this in your own life.  I started using it here in USA against all the riots and although I seldom watch the  news any more, I checked it 2 days after praying the blood over the rioters and there were no more riots either in Chicago, Los Angeles, Pennsylvania, or anywhere else.  So praying the blood of Christ over our nation, works.  I believe it will work as well over your; nation, church, family or neighbors.  Now it seems I must try it over my computer.  I’ll let you know how that works.

Blessed Availability
     The “precious blood” is made available.  It is within reach.  Hebrews 9:12 points out the Heavenly access of Christ’s blood.  “…by His own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.”  It was through His blood He cleansed the Heavenly things and entered the holiest on our behalf,  “It was therefore necessary that the pattern of things in the Heavens should be purified with these, but the Heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.  For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into Heaven itself, not to appear in the presence of God for us” (Hebrews 9:23-24).
     The blood of Jesus is not a dead substance.  It did not dry up on the cross of Calvary.  It is enlivened, activated, and potent through the Holy Spirit.  It was the “Eternal Spirit” (Hebrews 9:14) who enabled Jesus to shed His blood and present it in Heaven.  The same “Eternal Spirit” brings the living reality of the blood of Jesus to the saints on earth.  “And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.” (1 John 5:8)  The Spirit and the blood are witnesses here on this earth.  How can this be explained?  The answer is found in John 19:34But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.”  Water is a symbol of the Holy Spirit.  When Jesus was crucified “blood and water” flowed together.  There was a mingling of the blood of the Lord Jesus and the person of the Holy Spirit.  The Holy Spirit is omnipresent.  Therefore, He is able to bring the reality of the blood of the Lord Jesus right into a present need.  He brings it into the range of the saint so there can be a “sprinkling of the blood” of the Lord Jesus.

Blessed Results
     The scarlet thread in the window of Rahab, which was typical of the blood, was a sign that she and her family and her possessions would be saved from judgment, (Joshua 2:18-20).  Rahab had a responsibility.  She had to put the scarlet thread in her window and gather her relatives and possessions back of it.  It worked.  When the fortified city of Jericho was destroyed, the blood completely protected the property and people.  God kept His promise to all who, by an act of their own faith in it, put the token of blood on the houses in Egypt, (Exodus 12).  Not one person back of that applied blood was harmed.  They had two responsibilities – to put the blood on their houses; and then keep back of that blood.  This exercise took away their fears and frustrations and gave them peace, strength and Divine deliverance.  The safety of the saints is behind the blood of Jesus.
    God calls it “the blood of the everlasting covenant” (Hebrews 13:20).  The principle of protection behind the blood for the Egyptians and for Rahab is for us today.
     In  1 Peter 1:2, Christians are described as “elect…unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ.”  It is evident that “obedience and the sprinkling of the blood are intermingled.  “obedience” is our responsibility.  In “sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christwe experience the mighty power of the blood of the Lord Jesus in cleansing, safety and deliverance.
     The blood of Jesus is the answer to that insurmountable problem, that heart-breaking experience, that nagging worry, that pulsating anxiety, that awful fear, that nerve-wracking environment or any other spiritually debilitating experience.  There are those who are bound by satan’s shackles.  The Eternal Spirit, through the blood of Jesus, is the Great Deliverer.  Both in Egypt and Jericho, the blood token was to be displayed when help was needed, or help would not be given.  If they would have just believed the Word and not been obedient in using the blood sign, all would have been lost.  The blood of Jesus, to be effective, must be applied by faith, sprinkled by faith.
    
Blessed Possibilities
     The scope of the sprinkling of the blood of the Lord Jesus is very great.  It is not limited to people.  It can be applied to things.  “Moreover he sprinkled (likewise) with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry” (Hebrews 9:21) “for when Moses had spoken every precept…he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water…and sprinkled both the book and all the people, Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you” (Hebrews 9:19-20).  “And Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar round about” (Leviticus 8:24).
     God told Moses to apply the blood in the consecration of the priests who were to minister to the people of God.  “The ram of consecration…Moses took the blood of it, and put it upon the tip of Aaron’s right ear, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great tow of his right foot.” (Leviticus 8:22-23).  This was done to Aaron’s sons.  The “everlasting covenant” dictates that all of us constantly need this covering
     A blood-covered
  • EAR is needed to “hear what the Spirit sayeth to the churches.”  Revelation 2-3
  • A blood-covered THUMB is needed to render service to lost humanity and the Body of Christ
  • A blood-covered FOOT is needed to consistently walk in the Spirit.

     The Lord has made the saints of today to be “kings and priests unto God” (Revelation 1:6).  The total person needs the total covering of the blood of Jesus to become a normal, effective Christian.  His blood not only redeems but it also sanctifies, “How much more shall the blood of Christ…purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?” (Hebrews 9:14).  The unsanctified EAR will be dominated by the inner voice of self.  The unsanctified HAND will reach out to satisfy the fleshly appetites.  The unsanctified FOOT will delight to walk in the ways of the world.  These are the three great avenues of approach which satan makes the human race - inflate the ego, [Edging God Out] and love the world. 
     Jesus was victorious in all three such attempts as recorded in Luke 4:3-10.  Christ makes His victory possible for all saints who trust His Holy Spirit to apply His blood.  The Spirit and the blood are inseparable.  In Leviticus 8:30Moses took of the anointing oil [symbol of the Holy Spirit], and of the blood which was upon the altar, and sprinkled it upon Aaron…and upon his garments” and sprinkled it upon Aaron… and upon his garments.”  There was mingling of the oil and blood in the consecration of the priests.  There is mingling of the Spirit an the blood for cleansing and sanctifying all Christians who desire to be effective “priests unto God.”  
     There are bound ones among the people of God.  Zechariah refers to them as “prisoners out of the pit wherin is no water” (Zechariah 9:11).  God promised to deliver Jerusalem’s exiled people from their foreign captivity (Babylon) by “the blood of thy covenant.”  Jerusalem represents the people of God, His Body.  Babylon represents the religious systems of men.  God wants His people out of dead, dry, formal religion.  The way out is through the blood.  The systems of men will crumble and the “spiritual habitation,” the Church which is His Body, will triumphantly emerge.
     DO NOT LIMIT THE POWER of the BLOOD OF CHRIST to what you understand.  There is no greater mystery in the Christian life than the worth and power of His blood.  Apply it by faith.  Be a child of God who practices the “sprinkling of the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ.”  Sprinkle it anywhere there is evidence of pressure, tension or any kind of satanic effort to thwart the complete will of God in your life.  God wants it for a witness, “And to Jesus the mediator or the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things…”  (Hebrews 12:24).  PRAISE THE LORD THE BLOOD SPEAKS!
