Exodus 12:13  ‘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.’

DAILY READING     – Matthew 26:47-75; Deuteronomy 3-4; Job 5

The greatest evangelist of the Twentieth Century, was believed to be Billy Graham. And the greatest evangelist before him of the Nineteenth Century was believed to be Dwight L. Moody. Both men shared a common trait. On different occasions they were criticized for preaching about the power in the Blood of Jesus. When Billy Graham was getting started in ministry, a professor from Cornell University wrote him a letter and said, “Mr. Graham, you have great talent, and you have what it takes to be a successful minister. But if you want to continue to be successful, you are going to have to leave out the preaching on the blood. It is out of date and no enlightened man of the Twentieth Century will swallow it.”

Also when Dwight L. Moody started preaching, a woman wrote him a letter and said, “Brother Moody, if you want to be effective, you are going to have to leave out that blood stuff.” However both men when opposed about preaching about the  Blood determined rather to preach more on the blood of Jesus Christ than ever before. The opposition only strengthened their belief in the power and efficacy of The Blood, because they knew the enemy only fought what he feared.

Indeed the enemy is concerned about the preaching of The Blood. This is because the Blood of Jesus is one weapon the enemy has no answer or solution to. The children of Israel were terribly oppressed by pharaoh. Then in promising them deliverance God said in Exodus 11:1 ‘Yet will I bring one plague more upon Pharaoh, and upon Egypt; afterwards he will let you go hence: when he shall let you go, he shall surely thrust you out hence altogether.’

And after the mystery of the Blood was applied, the Bible records that the siege of captivity over the Israelites was broken. Though Israel had been in captivity for hundreds of years, by the the mystery of the Blood, their immediate deliverance was secured. In the same way it doesn’t matter how long you may have been harassed or troubled by the forces of wickedness, when you invoke the Blood of Jesus against your oppressors, your deliverance is guaranteed. Though some situations may appear physically intimidating, don’t be frightened but rather focus on the truth of God’s word that says that you are an overcomer by the Blood of Jesus.  This is the high standpoint of the Christian faith. It doesn’t matter the pharaoh that may have been oppressing your life or how long the oppression may have lasted, once the blood is invoked every such oppression must come to an end. This is because the enemy has no defense against the weapon of The Blood. This is why he tries to stop believers from knowing the power that lies therein. But when we understand the worth of the Blood, and invoke it in battle, then we can silence every pharoah. Always remember that the battle is not ours but the Lord’s. This is why you do not confront the devil with human wisdom, rather, you confront him with the mystery of the Blood of Jesus Christ. In the blood is our victory. It is by the blood that our rest from every oppression is secured. Jesus said, “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.’ When we come to Jesus through His blood, then we obtain rest from troubles and problems of life.

Exodus 12:13 says ‘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.’

Once the mark of the blood is upon our lives, every trouble, problems and evil harassment must stay away from us because as Revelation 12:11 says, we are overcomers by the blood of the Lamb.

PRAYER: Lord, please grant me a deeper revelation of the power that is in The Blood of Jesus. And as I begin to invoke the power in The Blood against every oppression, I thank You Lord for granting me rest and victory in Jesus Name.
