Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
DAILY READING – Matthew 23:13-39; Numbers 23:27-24:25; Song of Solomon 5:2-6:3
Solomon L. Ginsburg in the 19th century was a Baptist missionary to Brazil for thirty-five years. He co-founded the first Baptist church in the Amazon Valley.
During his ministry he faced a lot of oppositions and several attempts were made at his life. But he was a firm believer in the Blood of Jesus to protect him from all harm.
One day a plot did become known about an assassin sent to kill him where he was to preach. Friends urged Ginsburg not to hold the meeting, but he declared: “I prefer dying to running away. I am ready to shed my blood for that Dear One who shed His blood for me.” So he went to the meeting and preached for an hour, expecting every minute that something desperate would take place but nothing happened. He called for a song and then began preaching again. Still nothing happened until the end of the meeting, when it closed and he went home. Unknown to him, on the day he was to have been assassinated, the assassin drank some liquor to stimulate his courage. He came to the meeting both armed and nerved for his bloody assignment. However, the drink overpowered him and put him to sleep! When Ginsburg found out he would say “Here is one good job that alcohol accomplished. It saved my life.”
But not only that, two months later the hired assassin came to the preacher and confessed and was soundly converted. And at a meeting with tears flowing freely, publicly confessed to the other believers what had happened.
Indeed there is power in the Blood of Jesus. In this case the blood not only protected the preacher but also brought deliverance and forgiveness of sins to the assassin.
The Blood of Jesus indeed covers every need man has had or ever will have. The power in the blood of Jesus has provided everything we need to live in victory and dominion on the earth. Through the Blood we have salvation, protection, healing, and provision. In the past man had suffered from the curse of the law, which included ; death, sin, sickness, disease, poverty, lack, depression—anything bad you can think of. But at Calvary God gave everything He had to redeem mankind from the curse of the law. And today through the power in the blood of Jesus, we have been redeemed from every curse.
To live a life of victory we must learn to receive fully the benefits of Christ’s sacrifice. We must exercise this benefit by always applying the blood of Jesus over our lives and all that concerns us. The blood of the Lamb is inexhaustible and never-ending. It is an unlimited supply. According to Isaiah 53:4-5, Jesus’ sacrifice covered every area of man’s existence. He bore spiritual torment for our sins, mental distress for our worry, care, sorrow and fear, as well as physical pain for our sickness and disease. The stripes He bore and the blood He shed were for our healing. By His stripes we are healed. . every time we apply the blood, there is created a barrier between us and all the works of the devil.
The blood of Jesus Christ has the power to rescue us from Satan’s death grip. Paul stressed this power of the blood in EPHESIANS 1:13 which says that our Heavenly Father “has delivered us from the power of darkness and translated (or moved) us into the kingdom of His dear Son.”
*That word “deliver”here refers to the idea of rushing to rescue someone. Without Jesus Christ, we are trapped by Satan in spiritual darkness and death. But Jesus came to rescue us from darkness and death!
Let us therefore continuously apply the blood of Jesus to the doorposts of our lives in faith. Through the power in the blood we defeat every part of the curse that tries to take residence. When we plead the Blood in the face of sickness, disease or danger, the Power contained in the blood will always arise for our deliverance!
PRAYER: Father I thank You for delivering me from every curse of the law through the Blood of Jesus. I receive the fullness of the benefits purchased for me at Calvary by the blood. I thank You that indeed affliction can never arise a second time in my life in Jesus Name.
