Revelation 12:11 ‘And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony.’
DAILY READING Matthew 25:1-30; Numbers 30-31; Job 1
Smith Wigglesworth was a British evangelist who was important in the early history of Pentecostalism. Often referred to as ‘the Apostle of Faith,’ he was one of the pioneers of the Pentecostal revival that occurred a century ago. Thousands came to the Christian faith in his meetings; hundreds were healed of serious illnesses and diseases as supernatural signs followed his ministry.
Wigglesworth was a man of prayer and a diligent student of God’s Word. He not only demonstrated divine healing in his ministry but also exemplified the reality of divine health in his personal life. He lived a life of faith, often shunning the use of medicine and depending solely on God’s Word to keep him in sound health. He loved the Word of God and was very disciplined in his study of it. He never considered himself fully dressed unless he had his Bible with him. While others read novels or newspapers, the only book allowed in his home was the Bible. He would never leave a friend’s home without reading, as he would say, “a bit from the Book.”
The few health challenges he ever faced were effectively silenced by his great faith in God’s Word. Even on the day he died (on March 12, 1947) at a ripe old age, he was still full of sound health. On that day, he had commented to his friends how “wonderful” he felt. After his death, upon examining him, the doctors said there was no sign of disease, his system was sound, and he was just like a man who had come home from work and gone to rest.
Indeed, divine health is real. God showed us this possibility in the exodus. When the Israelites were in the desert headed toward the Promised Land, there were about 2 million people out there who wandered around for 40 years. It says in Psalm 105:37, “God brought them out and there was not one sick or feeble one among them.”
Out in the desert there were no pharmacies or hospitals. With such a large crowd, there could have been instances of headaches, migraine, dizziness, diarrhea, etc, but not one of them was sick. God was showing us that it is indeed possible to live in divine health. And today, in this dispensation, God has made available to us the possibility of living in divine health through the Blood of Jesus. Through partaking of the blood, we are infused with the power to overcome every affliction and break every chain.
Revelation 12:11 says, ‘And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony.’
Through the blood of Jesus we have the power to overcome every force of sickness, poverty, delay, evil habits and everything else fighting our destiny. The mystery of the Blood Covenant is so essential in this wicked world and the days that we live in. It is expedient that we receive, believe and engage the demands of this mystery in order to command mastery over every force of the wicked. Therefore, whatever negative situation may be confronting you now, there is victory for you through the Blood of Jesus. By the power in the blood, every chain holding you captive is shattered in Jesus Name.
It is God’s will for you to live an abundant, victorious life. Healing and divine health is what God apportioned to you. And the same God that brought out the Israelites without one sick or feeble among them is able to bring you out of any negative condition. Jesus was wounded for our transgressions and bruised for our iniquities, and by His blood we are made free from every infirmity and delivered from every destruction.
According to Galatians 3:13-14, the Blood of Jesus is the Blood Covenant that redeemed us from the curse of the law to enjoy the blessings of grace. Indeed, the blood of Jesus is our defense against the forces of darkness.
It doesn’t matter the kind of attack the enemy may have arrayed against you, by the blood of Jesus you are guaranteed victory over them all. Therefore today, as you begin to engage the mystery of the blood, every chain of captivity will be broken off you, and your victory in every battle guaranteed in Jesus Name.
PRAYER: Lord, I am truly grateful for Your Blood that has been made available to me. I thank You for giving me the strength to overcome every obstacle in my way. I know that even now, You are working all things together for my good in Jesus’ Name.
