0638 The Scarlet Cord

Joshua 2:18

You don't to be holy to have faith. You need faith to be holy

Faith rests in what God does, not what we do

When you build your faith on Gods works, your works will change

- Wrong person (woman, Gentile)

- Wrong profession (sexual immorality)

- Wrong place (Jericho)

Your life will not be changed from the outside in but inside out

What you are hiding now will transform your future

It's better to be Rahab than Achan

She hid spies, they protected her; he hid clothes, they destroyed him

Public life will fall or rise to the level of your private life

BLOOD WILL PROTECT YOU FROM DEATH

We don't want God who is light on sin, if you are sinned against

We are not saved from wrath of man, but wrath of God (Lot, Noah)

You don't have death not because there is not sin but there is sign of death

"HOUSE IN Rotterdam, HOLLAND, 16th century, Dutch people rose in rebel against King Philip || of Spain, king sent Duke of Alva to crush rebellion"

Blood says my sin has been punished, that means I can reject all the consequences of my sin. Guilt, shame, sickness, bondage

Continue to pay for car, once it's paid off - is unnecessary

Blood did not cancel my debt, it paid in full, but I stop payment

You don't need to pay for parents sins, kids sins, others sins. He will not stop sending bills, show him receipt. PASSOVER or PUNISHMENT

BLOOD WILL DELIVER YOU

Same robe she used to get them out of Jericho, they are using to get her out

Don't limit the blood to forgiveness, it has power to deliver you from sin

Blood on door posts did not only protect from death, but delivered from Egypt

Your past will not define your future, blood will rewrite it

Blood delivers from sexual addiction, takes you from house of shame to hall of fame; zero to hero

If the shadow can deliver can you imagine how much more the reality

You don't have the power, blood has that power

Innocent blood (Judas) Precious blood (Peter) Powerful blood.

God needs it. I need it. Satan needs it.

Without the blood, we are lifeless. Don't remove blood, blood can remove you from your chains

We have 5-7 percent blood. 300 times in Bible. 43 in NT

1. Receives our waste

2. Sends oxygen

3. Transports nutrients

4. Sends hormones

5. Maintains balance in fluids

6. Sends heat

7. Fights microorganisms

Blood speaks better things....than blood of Abel

Blood speaks, God can hear its voice....Satan knows its voice

Hebrews 10:29

It has cleansing power. 1 John 1:7

It has washing power. Rev.1:5

It has overcoming power. Rev.12:11
