Preach the Blood of Jesus!
Preach The Blood Of Jesus! (Copied from Virtual Chapel and Brother Andy P)
More than ever, we as Christians need to preach about the Blood of Jesus! A revival of emphasis on the Blood is desperately needed in the Christian circles. Sinner and saint alike need to know the significance of Christ's Blood and all that it accomplished on the Cross. Consider this message as a thrust to do so. Let's prepare the groundwork for the Greatest Revival to hit our homes, churches, and land - through the most Precious Blood of the Lamb of God.
1. Preach Christ's Innocence
Matthew 27:4 says - "Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to it."
"The innocent blood" - in the above verse - can also be read as "the innocent man" or "the innocent life." It is crucial that we understand that Jesus did not commit any crime or sin in any way, shape, or form - to merit God's wrath and judgment on His life. He was the innocent Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. The innocent was put to death for the guilty.
2. Preach The Inestimable Value Of The Blood
1 Peter 1:19 says - "But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot."
This "blood" was costly - accomplishing what silver and gold could never do. It was the "blood" of "a lamb without blemish and without spot" - being perfectly pure in soul...righteous in His life...and uninfected by any impression of sin from the world.
3. Preach The Purchasing Blood
Acts 20:28 says - "Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which He hath purchased with His own blood."
Through the agency of His own "blood," God acquired or gained something. He made it His own - keeping or saving it for Himself. He purchased a people - a flock - for His own service.
4. Preach The Redeeming Blood
Ephesians 1:7 says - "In Whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace."
Colossians 1:14 says - "In Whom we have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins."
1 Peter 1:18-19 says - "Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot."
Revelation 5:9 says - "And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for Thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by Thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation."
The moment we believe in the finished work of Calvary - we are freed from the guilt and power of sin. What Jesus did and suffered for us delivers us from its captivity and slavery. The price paid is His "blood." It is the ransom money - the cost of redemption. Because of it, the power, guilt, and evil consequences of sin are taken away. Forgiveness and deliverance from all iniquity and transgressions are issued to us.
5. Preach The Cleansing Blood
1 John 1:7 says - "But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanseth us from all sin."
The "blood" of Jesus not only forgives sin but removes its principle in all its forms and manifestations. It takes away its guilt and power. It daily cleanses the conscience and life from the sinful weaknesses of the flesh. There is no stain of sin so deep that the "blood" cannot remove it entirely from the soul. And not only that - it preserves holiness in the soul by keeping clean what it has made clean.
6. Preach The Justifying Blood
Romans 5:9 says - "Much more then, being now justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him."
By His death on the Cross and His bloodshedding, Jesus saved us from the effects of the wrath of God. Sin is pardoned, and the sinner is saved from the displeasure of God ... accepted as righteous ... pardoned ... rendered as sacred in His eyes ... and accepted as His friend.
7. Preach The Peacemaking Blood
Colossians 1:20 says - "And, having made peace through the blood of His cross, by Him to reconcile all things unto Himself; by Him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven."
Our reconciliation with God was made possible by the "blood" of Calvary's Cross. It took away the sin barrier that separated us from God. Peace was made between those who were alienated from each other - Jew and Gentile...man and man...and especially God and man.
8. Preach The Sanctifying Blood
Hebrews 13:12 says - "Wherefore Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people with His own blood, suffered without the gate."
The "blood" cleanses from sin and consecrates or sets apart as holy for God's use.
9. Preach The Blood Of The Everlasting Covenant
Hebrews 13:20 says - "Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the evelasting covenant."
The "blood" is the seal of the everlasting covenant. It is the means by which the people are made - inwardly and outwardly - holy. Through it - all blessings like redemption, peace, pardon, and the entrance into heaven are procured.
10. Preach The Washing Blood
Revelation 1:5 says - "And from Jesus Christ, Who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto Him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in His own blood."
The word "washed" can also be read as - loosed or set free from sin by the "blood."
How powerful will our witness for the Lord Jesus Christ be when we emphasize His Blood that was shed on Calvary's Cross.
The Blood that Jesus shed for me...way back on Calvary...it will NEVER lose its power!
Revelation 12:11 gives us the last reference in the Bible to His shed blood - "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb..."
Lastly, we find that - along with all of the other ten characteristics of the "blood" - we should definitely preach - in our day and time - "the overcoming blood."
Oh! How people need to hear about it!
So many today are facing troubles and bondages of which they cannot break loose. The answer will not be found in a two-step...three- step... ten-step...or even twelve-step program. The answer will only be found where it has always been - and that is in exercising faith in the Blood of Jesus.
Whenever we talk about faith with others, let's be sure to always emphasize the Blood.
When we do, we can be assured that - in turn - we will encounter the Power of God as His witness to our testimony.

Feeling the LOVE of our Father!!!
Our Father God loves us! His love is purest of pure. It knows nothing of this worldly form that is tainted and elusive, impure and self motivated. Our Father God is perfection of all things. His love for HIS children is awesome indeed.
When we say, "I love the LORD GOD." As pure as that might be intended from our lips to HIS HOLY EARS... it is still as filthy rags to HIM! Therefore, it is very important to say rather, "My Father God, Lord of all things with breath, loves me!" That is something awesome and magnificent! This latter statement contains NO filth for there is no lie within our Father God!
"But how might I say, My Father in heaven loves me!!!", one might ask. Or "I have done so many things wrong and sinful in my life, I can't possibly be worthy of such perfect love!", one might tell him/herself. But I say to you, rebuke that spirit of condemnation from your heart! For it is robbing you of the BLOOD OF CHRIST and the HOLY SPIRIT which bring LIFE ETERNAL to you!!!
The condemnation spirit is very powerful. It wants to speak things into your life that steal, kill, and destroy the NEW CREATURE you have became in Christ Jesus! This evil spirit will rob you of the GRACE Christ was crucified to deliver us! By HIS stripes we are healed! He didn't suffer one aspect at the hands of the enemies of God for nothing! EVERY STRIPE, EVERY HUMILIATION, EVERY NAIL, EVERY HOUR was for a purpose of deliverance and salvation! Take hold of this and loose this evil spirit back to the confines of HELL where it belongs!
The spirit of condemnation will speak to you and tell you that you aren't worthy of forgiveness. Your sins are to great to be forgiven, it might say! And IF you should listen to one word of this... that spirit of condemnation screams out for the spirits of shame, guilt, depression, anxiety, and doubt to rape you of your precious faith, glorified hope and powerful love!!!
If you are in bondage to any of these spirits I would ask that you please listen and hit your knees to pray for the LORD to deliver you from these powerful evils. Ask an elder or two for an anointing and pray over you with faith for your deliverance from this oppression. Our Father is a loving and merciful GOD! HE wants to set the captives free! Freedom is there for the taking IF you will act in HIS obedience and receive it!
I pray this will bless someone suffering this day from feelings of unworthiness, helplessness, hopelessness, paralyzing fears, deep depression, torment, suffering, and hardened hearts! May the LORD GOD answer all your needs through your prayer of repentance for ever allowing these things to rob you of HIS HOLY LOVE FOR YOU!
I pray the Holy Spirit will come into your heart and replace every void once cleansed by repentance and fill your heart with fruits of the Holy Spirit!!! I pray you embrace the overflow and reap the LOVE, JOY, PEACE, LONG SUFFERING, GENTLENESS, GOODNESS, FAITH, MEEKNESS, TEMPERANCE awaiting to blossom in your life!!!
If you have need for someone to pray with you and you don't have anyone... we are here for you! We will pray for you with gladness!!! Prayer is powerful! It can move mountains and cast them into the sea! We love you... but most importantly OUR FATHER GOD LOVES YOU HOLY AND WHOLE!!!

What is True Salvation?
What is true salvation, true salvation is to be delivered. This is not spoken of in many churches today for they refuse to discern true Christians from non Christians. True Christians have been rescued by the one and only true God of the Bible. They have been delivered from sin to righteousness, from darkness to light, from error and lies to truth. This can happen by talking to no man, saying any prayer, walking down any isle, true deliverance can come by one and one only, that being the only deliverer there is... our LORD God. "But I am poor and needy; make haste unto me, o God; thou art my help and my deliverer; o Lord, make no tarrying" psalm 70;5. To become a true christian is to be delivered from the evil ways of this world, for true believers are dead to the world, and we have no relationship with the world's ideas, honors, treasures, thought patterns, nor its worldly beliefs "casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ" 2 Corinthians 10;5. When you have true salvation, you have been delivered and you are a new creature, shedding the old man, and becoming a new creature, no longer living for the flesh, but allowing Christ to live through you."For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them" Ephesians 2;10.
Practice Love per the Devotional of God Calling
Watch over and protect us.
Want of Love will block the way. You MUST love all. Those that fret you and those who do not.
Practice love. It is a great lesson, and you have a great TEACHER. You must love, how otherwise can you dwell with ME, where nothing unloving can come? Practice this and I will bless you exceedingly, above all you cannot only ask, but imagine.
No limit to My Power. Do all you can and leave to Me the rest. Peace will come and Trust. Fear not, I am your Advocate, your Mediator.

Another Start per the devotional from God Calling
Take courage. Do not fear. Start a new life tomorrow. Put the old mistakes away, and start anew. I give you a fresh start. Be not burdened. Be not anxious. IF My forgiveness were for the righteous only, and those who had not sinned, where would be its need?
Remember as I said to Mary of old, "To whom much is forgiven, the same loveth much."
Why do you fret and worry so? I wait to give you all that is lovely, but your lives are soiled with worry and fret. You would crush My treasures. I can only bless glad, thankful hearts.
You must be glad and joyful.
