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. Turn you to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope: even to day do I declare that I will render double unto thee;

‘DAILY READING       Acts 3; Deuteronomy 17-18; Job 12

Joel Osteen is the pastor of the Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas, which has one of the largest congregations in the United States. He once told the story of how his father, John Osteen who was the founding pastor, gained victory by the Blood.

At the early stage of the ministry Pastor John Osteen used to travel overseas on evangelism. However at one time he noticed that the enemy began to attack his overseas evangelistic efforts.  At that time he had five kids all under the age of 12. And every time he was about to leave on a trip, invariably one of the kids would get sick. For weeks everything would be fine but as soon as he started packing up to travel, a child would come down with a cold or perhaps get hurt playing. One time, when he was about to go on a major trip, one of his sons was jumping up and down on his bed and suddenly fell backwards and hit the headboard, knocking himself out, and sustaining a big gash on the head that required stitching. It soon became obvious that the enemy was trying to keep Pastor John Osteen from ever preaching overseas. He became quite frustrated, wondering why his own family would start falling apart each time he tried to take the Gospel to the world. One day he finally  decided enough was enough. He knew there was power in the Blood of Jesus to halt demonic attacks and so he decided to apply it. The next time he was about to travel and one of his children fell ill, this time, he asked all his kids to come outside. He lined them up from the oldest to the youngest, and got infront of them and said, “I want you to follow me and say what I say”. He started marching them around the perimeter of their property, saying, “We plead the blood, we plead the blood”. Though the children were embarrassed because neighbors were looking at them and cars driving by were honking, Pastor John Osteen  didn’t seem to mind. He was determined to gain victory by the Blood. And after pleading the Blood around his home, amazingly from that day forward when he traveled none of the children ever got sick, or got hurt.

Revelation 12:11 says, “They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony.”

Pastor John Osteen overcame the enemy through knowledge of the power in the Blood of Jesus. We may not need to march our children around our compounds, but the point to be gained is that there is power in the Blood of Jesus to arrest any demonic attack. We are in a warfare and there is an enemy who is doing all he can to stop you from going forward, he is going about like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. You must therefore know how to attack back with the spiritual weapons available to you. Our ultimate weapon in this war is the blood of Jesus. At the cross Christ paid ultimately with His blood for our deliverance, therefore affliction is not permitted to arise a second time anywhere in your life.! You have the victory by the blood!

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’

Through the Blood of Jesus you have been delivered from every satanic imprisonment. Through the blood we have been ushered into our year of Jubilee and freedom. When Jesus declared ‘it is finished’ at Calvary it truly means it is finished. Indeed it is finished with sickness, diseases, poverty, ill fortune and every demonic assault in your life. You now have the ticket to rudely walk out on the devil. But what you do not know you can not own. The Mystery of the Blood Covenant is a Kingdom secret that guarantees our mastery over life circumstances. To take maximum delivery of this benefit we must know it, believe it and put it to work..

God says in Hosea 4:6 ‘My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge’

We must therefore go for knowledge. It is time to seek for a personal revelation from God’s Word of the benefits of the blood of Jesus. There is no situation you face today that cannot be handled by the blood of Jesus, but the key to your victory is knowledge. Certainly when you know the truth, you shall be set free.

PRAYER: Lord, Please grant me a deeper revelation of the power available to me through the Blood of Jesus. By the Power in the blood I declare my deliverance today over every form of demonic harassment. Truly by the Blood I have total victory in Jesus Name.
