Revelation 12:11 ‘And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.’
DAILY READING Mark 1:21-45; 2 Samuel 3:2-39; Daniel 2:1-23
Pastor Joseph Prince, is the senior pastor of New Creation Church based in Singapore. He often teaches about the power in the Blood of Jesus. In one of his teachings he recounted an incident that helped him to understand the tremendous power in the Blood of Jesus.
This happened when Pastor Prince was 18 years old and serving as a relief teacher in a primary school. One day he noticed that one of his students, a 10-year-old girl was absent from class and Pastor Prince felt impressed to pray for her and cover her with the blood of Jesus. Every time he thought about her, he would plead the blood of Jesus over her. This wasn’t a normal thing for him to do, but he felt led to do it. It was later found out that the girl was kidnapped by an occultic group that sacrificed children as part of their rituals. But this little girl in Pastor Joseph”s class was released because she was “rejected” by this occultic group. Something about her just made them not to touch her and she was released safely to go back home.
Revelation 12:11 says ‘And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.’
Indeed the blood of Jesus is powerful!
Truly we are living in dangerous days, there seems to be more violence now than there had ever been in previous generations. Televisions and social media often blare news of evil, wars, terrorist attacks, record-breaking disasters etc. And these things continue to escalate. Though physically, it may seem like a scary time to live, yet spiritually it is the most powerful time to live in, because of the protection we have through the Blood of Jesus. Regardless of what may be happening in the world around us, God will keep us completely safe from harm as we engage the Power in the Blood of Jesus. In these last days, wickedness will increase but in the midst of all the evil, through the Blood, God will exempt His own.
Therefore learning how to properly Plead the Blood of Jesus for our deliverance and protection becomes crucial at this time. Indepth knowledge of the power in the blood will be needed by all Christians in order to help keep them out of harm’s way. Indeed when we know who we are in Christ, we become untouchable, unkillable, and unmollestable to the forces of darkness.
When you plead the blood of Jesus in the face of danger, sickness, or calamity, the power in the blood will quickly arise for your deliverance!
It’s true no one knows what could happen next in this world, but as believers we don’t need to be afraid because through Christ Jesus, we can abide in the secret place of the Most High, whose power no foe can withstand.
When we apply the blood of Jesus to any situation, by faith—we render the forces of darkness powerless. They will find that their hands can no longer perform their enterprise and they will be forced to release their victims, (as seen in the above illustration). The blood that Jesus shed for us at Calvary has enormous, great power, and we need to be declaring it constantly over our lives. Also as we preach the Gospel in this season, we need to constantly stand in the gap for others, pleading the Blood of Jesus for their deliverance and rescue.
PRAYER: Father I thank You for the Power and protection, You have made available for me through the Blood of Jesus. Indeed through the Blood of Jesus, my family and I are exempted from every evil of this end-times in Jesus Name.
