Zechariah 9:11 ‘‘As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant I have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water.’

DAILY READING – Matthew 21:28-46; Numbers 19-20; Ecclesiastes 11:9-12:14.

Loretta Doris Anderson was born on November 24th, 1922, in Paterson, New Jersey. She was the eldest of three daughters, and was raised in a working-class home.
After High School, she went to Providence Bible Institute, in Providence, RI, in 1943, where she heard about the Wycliffe Bible Translators (WBT), and their work among Indian tribes in Mexico and South America. From that moment onward, she set her heart on serving with the Wycliffe Bible Translators.
God laid in her heart the foundation of deep love for Him, an understanding of His Word and a call to serve the unreached tribes.
Prior to 1946, reaching the tribes in Peru and Ecuador with the Gospel seemed impossible. This was because of the gross hostility previous missions had encountered in the area. However in 1946, the Wycliffe Bible Translators developed a central jungle base in Peru and eventually established workers in 44 tribes. Two of these workers were Lorrie Anderson and Doris Cox, who were sent as missionaries to the head-shrinking Candoshi Shapra Indians of Peru.
Lorrie and her work partner Doris Cox arrived in Peru on October 6th, 1948, where they were met by Chief Tariri, the ferocious leader of the Shapras, a tribe of headhunters. The fierce Chief Tariri did not at all consider them a serious threat because they were women. He said “Two women? What harm could they do? They’re probably just looking for husbands.”
However, as the girls brought the Word of God to Chief Tariri’s tribe, there was a massive transformation in the land.
Despite the many dangers they often faced, God severally protected them from harm.
One day, Lorrie Anderson, was looking for a quiet place for her daily time of Bible reading and prayer, so she went down by the edge of the river. After reading the Bible, she took up her prayer list and began to pray with her eyes closed. She did not see a deadly giant snake, weaving through the water towards her. The anaconda struck her, burying its fangs into her flesh, but as it reared up for a death blow, suddenly the giant snake, never known to release its prey, left her and slithered off back through the water.
By divine intervention, help arrived soon enough. While Lorrie was being treated, a witch doctor from a nearby village suddenly burst into the hut and stared at her in disbelief. The woman said her son-in-law, also a witch doctor, had invoked the spirit of the anaconda that morning and sent it to kill the young missionary. And under normal circumstances a victim of the snake should have died, but she was amazed Lorrie had survived. But Lorrie, knew that she had only been saved because of God’s amazing divine protection.

Psalm 91:9 says ‘Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come near thee..’
Outwardly what happened to Lorrie Anderson seemed like an accident, but from the confession of the witchdoctor, it obviously was an arrow of the wicked sent the wicked sent against her.
The truth is that many of the battles we face in life are essentially spiritual. But despite these battles, we are always divinely protected by the Blood of Jesus.
According to Galatians 3:13-14 Jesus shed His Blood on the Cross for our redemption from the works of the devil. In other words, the Blood of Jesus is the Blood Covenant that redeemed us from the curse of the law to enjoy the blessings of grace.
Jesus paid his blood as price for our deliverance from every evil plan. His blood was shed so that our blood will never be shed. He died young so that we might live long.
The mystery of the Blood Covenant is so essential in this wicked world and the days that we live in. When the Passover Blood was sprinkled in Egypt, it guaranteed divine protection for the Israelites from the angel of death. The same way today when we plead the Blood of Jesus over our lives, that blood causes evil to pass away from us.
Zechariah 9:11 says ‘As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant I have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water.’
By the blood of Jesus we have been delivered from every pit of captivity. It doesn’t matter the kind of attack the enemy may have arraigned against you, by the blood of Jesus you are guaranteed victory. Therefore today, let us begin to engage the weapon of the blood over our lives. As we do, let us be assured that every force of wickedness against us, will surely be defeated and the light and glory of the Lord shall be seen upon us in Jesus Name.

PRAYER: Lord, I thank You for the divine protection available to me through the Blood of Jesus. I know indeed that by the Blood of Jesus I am exempted from every evil in Jesus Name.

When God places His hand upon a man in life nothing can come against him, this is because the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.WORDBITE 222
