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 death’

DAILY READING –Mark 4:21-41; 2 Samuel 11-12; Daniel 6

In her book ‘the blood and the glory’, Billy Brim, former editor of publications for Kenneth Hagin Ministries gave the following account;

A minister named Stevens, who lived in Tennessee, and his wife were invited to conduct meetings in a church in Canada. But just before they left on the trip, Brother Stevens received reports from some friends that they had seen foxes roaming on his land. This report brought concern to the Stevens because they intended leaving their children behind, as they traveled. But deciding to trust God, they embarked on the trip, leaving their children at home in the care of grandparents.

When they arrived Canada, the meetings went very well. Many souls were saved, delivered, and set free from demonic bondages. Because of this success, the enemy became infuriated and began to torment Brother Stevens with the thought that he was going to kill the Stevens’ children, by sending rabid foxes to attack them. Brother Stevens said, “Devil, you’re a liar! You cannot kill my children.” But these thoughts became so strong that brother Stevens gathered together three other believers. Together they agreed in prayer, and by faith they drew a blood line of protection around the Stevens’ property.

A week later, Brother Stevens received a letter from his brother back in Tennessee. In the letter, his brother said he was out walking, around the edge of the Steven’s property. And on the boundary of their land he found on the ground five dead foxes. When the heads of these foxes were examined, they were found to be all rabid. Obviously the enemy had sent the rabid foxes as he had threatened but they had all dropped dead when they tried to cross the Blood line!

 

The blood of Jesus is indeed powerful. We draw the Blood line to define the boundaries that the enemy cannot cross. The blood of Jesus sets a demarcation between us and evil. By the blood we overcome the enemy and put a halt to his encroachment in our lives.

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 death’.

We secure victory over the enemy by the blood of the Lamb.

We must appreciate the fact that Jesus is reckoned in scriptures as our Passover Lamb. His blood was shed for us on the Cross, just as a lamb was slain for the sprinkling of the Passover Blood.

1 Corinthians 5:7 says ‘For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us’

In Exodus 12, the Blood sprinkled at Passover guaranteed the victory of the Israelites over pharaoh in Egypt. It was by the mystery of the blood that God delivered the Israelites from 430 years of captivity in Egypt. The Bible records that God had sent several plagues to Egypt but Pharaoh refused to release the Israelites. Then in Exodus 11:1 God said to Moses: ‘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’.

The “one more plague” was engaging the mystery of the Blood. The Bible records that after this mystery of the blood was applied, the siege of captivity over the Israelites was broken. The same night they were released by pharaoh in a hurry and left Egypt. The Blood indeed is an irresistible weapon which will break every stubborn yoke of the enemy.

Is there anything that has long been resisting your glorious destiny? It is time to invoke the blood against it. Every pharaoh must bow at the invocation of the blood of Jesus. No matter how far the enemy has gone he can always be stopped. Draw the blood line and declare to that devil ‘this is where you stop. You cannot go further.’ When Pharoah attempted to cross the red sea he drowned, the same way any enemy attempting to cross the red line of the blood will drown for your sake.  The Blood of Jesus  is God’s ultimate assault power! It is the spiritual nuclear force that destroys all barriers, resistances and oppositions. It is a mighty weapon of war; it is God’s answer against all satanic assaults. The Blood of the Lamb is a primary weapon against the strategies of the enemy.

It is time to arise and begin to engage the power in the blood. Tell that challenging situation ‘the blood of Jesus is against you!’ Enough is enough. Affliction cannot arise a second time!

 

The blood of Jesus cannot be shed in vain in your life. Jesus paid the ultimate price to secure for you the ultimate victory.

Jesus suffered, bled and died to give you victory over the enemy. He died young that you might live long. His blood was shed so that your blood will never be shed . Therefore you cannot be feeling helpless and defeated by a devil who was defeated over 2000 years ago by the blood. As the blood was powerful then, it is still powerful today and will be powerful forever.

Therefore draw the blood line around your life and create a demarcation that the enemy cannot cross. As the mark of the blood on the doorposts of the Israelites made them untouchable to the angel of death, so the mark of the blood upon your household, makes you untouchable to every evil. As the blood delivered Israel from 430 years of captivity, today let that blood break every yoke of captivity in your life.. And as the scarlet rope on Rahab’s window, signifying the blood, delivered her from destruction when the walls of Jericho fell, so also the mark of the blood of Jesus delivers you  from every destruction. Paul said, let no man trouble me for I bear in my body the marks of Jesus Christ. By reason of the blood mark upon you, every trouble stays away.

Today let the blood of Jesus begin to speak for you. Let the blood that speaks better things than the blood of Abel speak Passover to every evil in your life. Let it speak victory for you. Let it speak favour for you. By reason of the blood your life becomes totally inaccessible to every evil in Jesus Name.

 

PRAYER: Lord, I thank You for the power that is in the blood of Jesus. Today I invoke that blood against everything resisting my glorious destiny. No more shall I be a victim.  Today I declare that I have overcome by the blood of Jesus. I have victory by the blood of the lamb. It is indeed well with me in Jesus Name.
