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 – 2 Corinthians 13; 1 Chronicles 3-4; Zephaniah 1.
“More Than Dreams” is an inspirational film featuring five stories of Muslim men and women who experience meeting Jesus in a dream.
One of the stories is that of Khalil who was trained as a jihadist in Egypt and engaged in terrorist acts.
As part of an intellectual attack against Christianity, Khalil was assigned the task of writing a book that would prove that the Bible could not be trusted.
Though Khalil was repulsed by the idea, he had to study the Bible to examine the claims of Jesus’ death and resurrection—which aren’t included in the Quran.
When he had completed reading the Bible and cross-referencing it with numerous texts from the Qur’an, Khalil discovered the Bible was neither inaccurate nor false.
Khalil could not deny his growing conviction that Jesus was the way to God. One day, his briefcase was stolen which contained his manuscript, Bible and identity card.
That night, while sleeping, Khalil saw Jesus in a dream, telling him, He was the One he had been searching for.
Jesus then told him, to stand up and open his closet and he would will find his stolen Bible.
When Khalil awoke from the dream, he got out of bed and opened his closet door and indeed found his lost Bible on the shelf. That became the turning point in his life. He publicly accepted Christ and over the ensuing months, Khalil grew in his Christian faith. Despite persecutions and attempts to kill him, he has continued to persevere, convinced that no price is too great to pay for the joy of serving the One who gave His life to save him.
The story of Khalil is just a snapshot of what the redeeming precious Blood of Jesus Christ can do!
Through the single act of redemption, Jesus not only changed the course of human history, but also released the power of supernatural transformation into the earth.
He sacrificed Himself to break the chains of darkness and give us the opportunity to experience changed lives.
By His Blood, we have been redeemed from the lies and deception of the enemy who comes to steal, to kill and to destroy.
Jesus suffered on that cross so that we can have life and have it more abundantly. The power in the Blood of Jesus is ordained for the supernatural restoration of our redemptive dignity. By the power in His Blood we are revived to live a life of glory and power.
The power in the Blood translates us from failure to breakthrough, from sickness to health, from death to life, from weakness to power.
The power in the Blood can transform problems into opportunities, turn impossibility into possibilities, turn sorrow into joy, defeat to victory and stress into strength.
There is no yoke that cannot be broken by the Blood of Jesus which can never lose its power.
It doesn’t matter the affliction or oppression the enemy may try to bring against you, total deliverance is available through engaging the power in the Blood.
This sacred Blood can set you free from the pain of the past and the fear of tomorrow.
Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross unleashed the power of the Holy Spirit to supernaturally transport our lives from valleys of defeat to mountaintops of victory .
Indeed through the Blood we are raised out of the waterless pit and made to sit with Christ in Heavenly places.
Therefore, no matter what may face you today, you have reason to celebrate and declare “For I know that my Redeemer lives…”.
And because He lives, you can face tomorrow with great hope that the very best is yet to come!
PRAYER: Lord, I thank You for the transformational power available to me through the Blood of Jesus. I know indeed that by the Blood of Jesus I have been delivered from darkness to enjoy the blessings of Your grace in Jesus Name.
