The Power of the Blood and How to Apply It in Our Lives

Exodus 12:13 “Now the blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you; and the plague shall not be on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.”

1 Corinthians 5:7 “Therefore purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us.”

Job 1:9-10 “So Satan answered the Lord and said, “Does Job fear God for nothing? Have You not made a hedge around him, around his household, and around all that he has on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land.”

Hedge- Job fulfilled the Old Covenant as best he could and there was a hedge of protection around him.

This hedge covered:

Himself

His family

His possessions/property

His Purpose

His Influence

These are the same areas we are to be covered by the hedge of protection as well.

New Covenant- Luke 22:20 “Likewise He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is shed for you.”

In the Old Covenant the blood was applied with hyssop.

So how do we apply the blood of Jesus today?

2 Corinthian 4:7-15 “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us. We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed—always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body. For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus’ sake, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. So then death is working in us, but life in you. And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, “I believed and therefore I spoke,” we also believe and therefore speak, knowing that He who raised up the Lord Jesus will also raise us up with Jesus, and will present us with you. For all things are for your sakes, that grace, having spread through the many, may cause thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.”

Proverbs 18:21 “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.”

Garden- Jesus shed His blood for our soul (Mind, will, emotions)- Luke 22:44 “And being in agony, He prayed more earnestly. Then His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.”

Whipping Post- Jesus shed His blood for our physical bodies and for our shame

Matthew 27:24-31 “When Pilate saw that he could not prevail at all, but rather that a tumult was rising, he took water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, “I am innocent of the blood of this just Person. You see to it.” And all the people answered and said, “His blood be on us and on our children.” Then he released Barabbas to them; and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered Him to be crucified. Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the Praetorium and gathered the whole garrison around Him. And they stripped Him and put a scarlet robe on Him. When they had twisted a crown of thorns, they put it on His head, and a reed in His right hand. And they bowed the knee before Him and mocked Him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” Then they spat on Him, and took the reed and struck Him on the head. And when they had mocked Him, they took the robe off Him, put His own clothes on Him, and led Him away to be crucified.”

Isaiah 50:6 “I gave My back to those who struck Me, And My cheeks to those who plucked out the beard; I did not hide My face from shame and spitting.”

The Cross- Jesus shed His blood to redeem our spirit and give us His Spirit- John 19:30 “So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.”

John 20:22 “And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit.”

Pentecost

Jesus bled:

Body- Luke 22:44 “And being in agony, He prayed more earnestly. Then His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.”

Head- Matthew 27:29 “When they had twisted a crown of thorns, they put it on His head, and a reed in His right hand. And they bowed the knee before Him and mocked Him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!””

Beard/Face- Isaiah 50:6 “I gave My back to those who struck Me, And My cheeks to those who plucked out the beard; I did not hide My face from shame and spitting.” SHAME!!!

Back- Matthew 27:26 “Then he released Barabbas to them; and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered Him to be crucified.”

Hands and Feet- Psalm 22:16 “For dogs have surrounded Me; The congregation of the wicked has enclosed Me. They pierced My hands and My feet;”

Side- John 19:34 “But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.” BROKEN HEART!!!!

PROCLAMATION TO OVERCOME THE DEVIL

I testify to Satan personally as to what the word says the blood does for me. (1)

Through the blood of Jesus, I am redeemed out of the hand of the devil. (2)

Through the blood of Jesus, I am sanctified, made holy, set apart to God. (6)

My body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, redeemed, cleansed, by the blood of Jesus. (7)

Satan has no place in me, no power over me, through the blood of Jesus!
