Revelation 12:11
‘And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.’.
DAILY READING –Philemon 1:1-25; Jeremiah 19-20; Psalm 128
Joel Taylor, a leader of the Bethel worship ministry recently passed through a very challenging period of life as his two children battled a deadly disease. Taylor’s 2-year-old son, Jaxon, and 4-year-old daughter, Addie, contracted the dangerous E. coli infection that threatened to take their lives.
It all started when the youngest son Jaxon came down with a bad case of diarrhea, which quickly became something much worse. Soon doctors realized that his kidneys were shutting down. A raging E. coli infection was attacking his organs, forcing him to undergo numerous blood transfusions and to go on dialysis.
As doctors fought to save him, the parents passed through periods of seeing his lungs fill up with water. They went through a season where brain damage was a high potential as he passed through seizures. His eyes were rolling in the back of his head for a couple of days. At a time the parents completely lost all communication with him where he wasn’t responding for days. As if that was not enough after Jaxon was admitted, days later their 4 year old daughter Addie also was struck by the same dangerous infection. She also needed to be admitted to the hospital immediately. The parents went online to request for prayers and people from around the world prayed for the family.
Despite the serious illness, Joel Taylor and his wife never stopped putting their trust in the Lord and believing He would turn their tribulation into “a miracle testimony to the whole world.” They strongly believed in miraculous healing for the children by the power in the blood of Jesus.
After being bedridden for nearly a month, Jaxon, with God’s help was finally able to walk. Soon the children were all completely healed. And what a joyful day it was for the family as they all walked out of the hospital with the two children totally healed. On a video Joel Taylor posted on Instagram, the entire family could be seen smiling, singing and dancing as they left the hospital and the fear of death behind. It was a sight thousands of people had been praying for. Taylor added to the post the quote from Isaiah 42:3. “When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the Lord’
Indeed God is faithful. and we are grateful for the provision He has made for our divine healing. The blood of Jesus is able to bring healing and deliverance to those who put their trust in God,
Revelation 12:11 says ‘And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.’
The Greek word translated “overcame” in Revelation 12:11 means to conquer, prevail or get the victory. In the face of every challenge, the element of our victory is the Blood of Jesus. Sicknesses and diseases cannot withstand the Blood, and the enemy has no resistance against the Blood. Truly, the weapons of our warfare supersede the weapons of the enemy. In every trial, our protection, as well as our victory, lies in the blood of Christ. Our battle cry in the midst of any conflict should always be the blood.
Through the communion table, the Blood of Jesus Christ destroys afflictions and diseases. Barrenness, sickness, joblessness, poverty, iniquity, etc are all wiped away by the power in the blood. Indeed there is power in the blood to overcome every challenge we may face. Let us therefore always, approach the Communion table with faith and expectation for the destruction of everything which God has not planted in our lives. Indeed through the power in the blood of Jesus we are overcomers in every conflict.
PRAYER: Lord, through application of the blood. please help me to begin to appropriate all You have won for me at Calvary Indeed by the blood of Jesus I have victory in all areas of my life in Jesus Name.
