The Blood of Jesus

 

  1. From Genesis to the birth of Christ Jesus. God the Father protected the bloodline of the Jewish race. Why? So the Savior could be born. The cities or towns that God had the Israelites destroy along with their animals were full of sexually transmitted diseases.

Why as God’s children are we not using our greatest weapon to bind up Satan and plunder his kingdom? Mark 3:27

How many sermons or teachings have you heard on the power of the blood of Christ Jesus.?

 

The Blood of Jesus from God the Father point of view 

 

  1. It satisfies God’s justice. The blood of Jesus is crying out for forgiveness, redemption, restoration, and reconciliation. Through the blood of Jesus the legal mandate needed by God to forgive sins was satisfied. The shedding of the blood of Jesus diverted God’s wrath from us unto Jesus satisfying God’s wrath. 

  2. It gives us His children access to Him. The blood of Jesus covers, cleanses, and removes guilt, and shame. Through the blood of Jesus we can walk into the Holy of Holies.    

  3. It silences Satan's accusation against us, His children. The blood of Jesus wiped out every record against us so that God's plan for us can be complete. That plan is to restore us to the place of total innocence and fellowship with God, like Adam and Eve before sin entered the world. The blood of Jesus permanently removes sins from our minds, our conscience, and our emotions. The blood of Jesus justifies, restores, us to a place of innocence and wraps us in acceptance, and love. The blood of Jesus cleanses us for all time and shuts Satan up.    

  4. It binds us together making us the family of God. That’s why we can fellowship with Christians from around the world, and different states. The blood of Jesus deals with sins that are committed against people to people. The blood of Jesus makes us family, heavenly kingdom, heavenly race, and a royal priesthood. 

 

B) According to the Bible what has the blood of Christ Jesus has done for believers;

 

  1. Atonement for sin- It cleanses or propitiates our sins, removing the barrier between us and God. Hebrews 9:12-14, 1John 1:7

  2. Justification- Believers are declared righteous-made right with God-through Jesus blood. Romans 5:9, Romans 3:24,25 

  3. Redemption- Jesus blood redeems us from slavery, sin, and the law Ephesians 1:7, Colossians 1:14

  4. Reconciliation- It restores a relationship God and humans Romans 5:10,11, 2 Corinthians 5:18-21

  5. Sanctification and purification- It purges the conscience and sets believers apart for God Hebrews 10:19-22, 1 Peter 1:2,3

  6. Access to God- Through His blood we have bold access into God’s presence. Ephesians 2:13, Hebrews 4:14-16

  7. Victory over the devil and evil- Jesus' blood is pictured as protection and triumph over Satan. Revelations 12:11, Revelations 1:5

  8. Covenant establishment- Jesus blood inaugurates the New Covenant that brings forgiveness and law written on hearts. Luke 22:20, Hebrews 9:15

  9. Remission of sin. Remission is defined as freed from the guilt and the penalty of sin. Matthew 26:28  

 

C) Why doesn’t the average believer use the Blood of Jesus Christ to fight against Satan and his kingdom?

Most believers don’t use the Blood of Jesus in a combat sense because they misunderstand what the Bible means by the Blood of Jesus and how spiritual warfare is described.

  1. The blood is primarily presented as accomplished work — atonement, justification, redemption — not a literal incantation or magical formula to recite (Hebrews 9:12–14; Romans 3:24–25).  

  2.  Scripture frames spiritual warfare mainly in terms of faith, prayer, truth, righteousness, the Word, and the Spirit — not repeated formulas: e.g., put on the full armor of God, pray in the Spirit, stand firm (Ephesians 6:10–18; James 4:7; 1 Peter 5:8–9).  

  3.  Many Christians equate "using the blood" with ritualistic or charismatic practices they haven't been taught; local church teaching and Christian tradition shape whether believers speak about or apply the blood in prayer.  

  4. Some fear misuse: thinking invoking the blood is superstitious or promotes doctrinal error (grace vs. works, magic vs. faith).  

  5.  Lack of understanding: people may not grasp the practical implications — forgiveness, identity, authority in Christ — that flow from Christ’s blood, so they don't intentionally apply those truths in spiritual conflict (Romans 8:37; Colossians 2:15).  

  6. Spiritual maturity and discipling vary: new or under-taught believers often rely on general prayer rather than targeted, Scripture-based spiritual warfare (Hebrews 5:12–14).  

  7. The New Testament emphasizes reliance on Christ and the Spirit rather than private formulas; believers are called to live in the reality of the blood secured (union with Christ, new nature), which is how victory is experienced (Romans 6–8; Galatians 2:20).

 

We as God’s children need to learn practical application:

 

1. Teach and understand what the blood accomplished — forgiveness, justification, reconciliation.  

2. Use Scripture-based declarations (e.g., confessing identity in Christ, claiming redemption and authority) rather than superstition.  

3. Pray in faith, resist the devil, put on God's armor, and rely on the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 6:10–18; James 4:7).  

4. Pursue discipleship and church teaching that grounds spiritual warfare in Christ’s finished work, not private formulas.

 

Here are concise, Bible-based prayers and Scripture declarations connecting Christ’s blood to spiritual warfare. Use them as spoken prayers or personal declarations in faith.

  2.  "Father, I claim the cleansing power of Jesus' blood over my conscience, mind, and home; break every foothold of the enemy now." 

  3.  "In the name of Jesus, I plead His blood over my family and our lives—protect us, redeem us, and cut off every attack of the evil one."  

  4.  "Jesus, Your blood has reconciled me to God; empower me by Your Spirit to resist Satan and walk in victory."  

  5. "By the blood of Christ I renounce the enemy's lies and claim my identity as a child of God—strong, forgiven, and free."

  4. For protection: "I plead the blood of Jesus over my home, family, and mind; no weapon formed shall prosper." (Isaiah 54:17; Ephesians 6:11)


 

Quick pattern to form your own declaration:

 

1. State the biblical fact (e.g., "By the blood of Jesus I am redeemed").  

2. Name the need/attack (e.g., "so I reject guilt and fear”                            3. Command the result in Jesus' name (e.g., "I declare freedom and peace now, in Jesus' name").

You can read these aloud once each day or repeat them as needed.

 

D) The sacrifice of Jesus is the very heart of God and His heart message. God desires to have a relationship with you. He did everything in His power to make it easy for us to have that relationship by removing our sins, fear, shame, and unrighteousness. All we have to do is believe it by faith. Do we truly believe that God wants us, not to destroy us?

Through the blood of Jesus God the Father sees us as;

Holiness instead of sin

Blamelessness instead of guilty

Perfection instead of failure

Pure joy instead of displeasing.

  

Jesus' atonement is everlasting and we can proclaim and experience it everyday. Will you?

 

E) Now, what takes us out of the atonement is our sin nature by choosing rebellion, and idolatry. How do we kill our sin nature? By denying ourselves and taking up our cross. Luke 9:23. 

Jesus went to the cross to demonstrate His love to His Father and us. The cross also demonstrates God's hatred for sin. 

We carry our cross to demonstrate our love for God and our hatred for sin. By crucifying our sin nature. The blood of Jesus removes our sins, the cross crucifies our sin nature that others can see the real us, Christ in us the Hope Of Glory.

 

A word picture of taking up our cross. 

 

“But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you shortly, that I also may be encouraged when I know your state. For I have no one like-minded, who will sincerely care for your state. For all seek their own, not the things which are of Christ Jesus. But you know his proven character, that as a son with his father he served with me in the gospel. Therefore I hope to send him at once, as soon as I see how it goes with me. But I trust in the Lord that I myself shall also come shortly.”

‭‭Philippians‬ ‭2‬:‭19‬-‭24‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

 

  1. Deny ourselves

  2. Cares for the things of God. God cares about people

  3. Share in the work of the Gospel

  4. Proven Character- tribulations produce perseverance; and perseverance, character, and character, hope. Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.Romans 5:3-5    

 

Finally, Jesus made eternal redemption possible for the whole world-will you be willing to join us in praying for a Worldwide Great Awakening?
