The power of the blood. Let me mention nine things that you can start experiencing today in
your life, if you receive the revelation of the blood of Jesus. Number one. The blood of Jesus
forgives us or remits our sins. Matthew 26:20-28 it says that through His blood, we experience
remission of sins. If you are dealing with guilt, maybe you're watching and you're not a believer.
Maybe you weighted down with your guilt and your shame. Maybe the things that you've done,
you promised you'll never do. You're plagued with that shame and guilt. There's only one place where
you can release yourself from those sins. It's not punishing yourself. It's coming to the cross and
receiving the forgiveness of sins, and you know why you can receive the forgiveness of sins? Is
because of His blood. He gave His blood, to give you His life. He took your sin upon Himself, so
you can experience freedom from your sin. My God, this is so good. Number two benefit that you can
experience from the blood of Jesus, is life. In John 6:53 it says, "Then Jesus said to them, 'Most
assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you will
have no life in you." Now of course, Jesus is not referring for us to physically drink His blood.
First of all, that's not possible because we don't have that physical blood. He's talking about us
placing our trust in what He did on the cross, and recognizing that He shed His blood, for us. And as
you begin to believe in that, and also partake the Holy Communion, you will begin to experience life.
So many people have death inside of them because they live in the flesh, instead of in the Spirit.
They rely on their efforts, instead of what Jesus did on the cross. They lose sight of the blood and
then they lose life. Number three. The power of the blood causes you to dwell in Christ and Jesus
to live in you. What? Yes, imagine how awesome that is. In John 6:56 Jesus says, "He who eats
My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him." Do you want to dwell in Jesus? He says,
"There's one way. Eat My flesh and drink My blood." I believe this speaks of us partaking
of Communion but this also speaks of a deeper truth. That we have to live with the revelation,
that Christ lives in me through the blood. I am in Jesus through the blood. Not through my
denomination, not through my religion, not through my good works, not through my Bible study, prayer,
fasting, discipline and holy living. It's through the blood, that Christ lives in me and I live in
Christ. Number four. Through the blood, we are purchased as a church. In Acts 20:28, we see that
Jesus purchased, God purchased the church with His own blood. God didn't just pick us up on the
market. We were purchased with His blood. Now God didn't pay the devil. A lot of people say, "Oh God
paid the devil." God owes nothing to the devil. God paid Himself, because it's God's holiness that
demanded our punishment, and the blood of Jesus was the sufficient payment. It wasn't in Bitcoin,
gold, silver or exchange of goods. It was His own blood that became a payment, through which the
transaction where we went from darkness Into His marvelous light and we became His own. He became
our Lord, we became His precious possession. Number five. Through the blood of Jesus,
we are near God. I love this. Hebrews 2:13, "But now in Christ Jesus you who were once
far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ." If you feel distant from God right now,
if you feel like you and God are on different planets. If you feel like you have nothing near,
nothing that brings you near God, there's one thing that brings you near God and
it's the blood of Jesus. Hebrews 10:19 it says, "Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter
the holiest by the blood of Jesus." The Holy of Holies, the priest, high priest could only enter
one time a year, on the Day of Atonement. Even the regular priests could not go into the Holy
of Holies where the presence of God was, once a year on the Day of Atonement. But when Jesus died,
He ripped that veil that kept people and priests away from the Holy of Holies. And
today you can enter the Holy of Holies but there is one requirement, through the blood. There's
only one way. There's one direction. There's one path. There's one, one code. There's one password
into the Holy of Holies and that password is the blood. Maybe you're not living in the presence
of God as you want to. Let me ask you a question, do you have the revelation of the blood? Have you
applied the blood? Do you believe in the blood? Do you drink, consume? And this may sound crazy,
but do you take Holy Communion, reflecting that your nearness to God, His dwelling place, dwelling
presence in you. Is only. Listen. Only! Not the blood plus Church attendance, not the blood and
Bible reading. Only! come on, somebody drop that in the comment. Only through the blood. number
six. His blood brings us peace. In Colossians 1:20 it says, "That by Him to reconcile all things to
Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through
the blood of His cross." You know, when you have peace with God you will have peace with yourself,
you will have peace in this world. So many people do not have peace. They live in anxiety,
they live in worry and they live in constant state of being anxious. They lack calmness in their soul
and they try to achieve that through meditation, they try to achieve that through yoga, they try
to achieve that through exercise. They try to achieve that through breathing. But the Bible
gives us one way to experience peace. My friend, you don't need peace with you, in you, if you
don't have peace with Him. Your peace in here, in your heart, comes from your peace from Him.
And God says, "You can access My peace in the midst of your storm, you can access My peace in
the midst of turbulent times in your life. You can access My peace in the midst of times that you're
understanding and your knowledge cannot give you." Because His peace passes understanding,
His peace is greater than knowledge. It comes from the Prince of Peace. But again,
the key is the blood, the key is the blood. And when you experience the cleansing of His blood it
cleanses your conscience, it cleanses your heart from dead works, as it says in Hebrews 9:14. You
experience peace that passes understanding. Number seven. The blood of Jesus sanctifies us. To be
sanctified is to be set apart. They would sanctify priests to the work of priesthood by sprinkling
blood on them. They would set apart vessels and different utensils by touching them with blood,
but today God sets you apart through His blood. Hebrews 13:12 it says, "Therefore Jesus also,
that He might sanctify the people with His own blood, suffered outside the gate." We're not
sanctified by merely removing negative things from our life, by merely making decision not
to do this. We're not Sanctified by crying big tears at the altar and confessing our
sins. All these things have their place but the sanctifying agent that God uses today
to set His people apart, is the blood of Jesus. Number eight. It makes us complete for every good
work. In Hebrews 13:20-21 it says, "May the God of Peace who brought up our Lord Jesus Christ
from the dead, the great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,
make you complete in every good work to do His will working in you what is well pleasing in his
sight, through Christ Jesus, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen. " You want to be made
complete for every good work? Do you want to be prepared for every good work? There is a secret.
It's the blood. It's the blood of Jesus Christ, the blood of everlasting covenant.
It prepares you for every good work, and lastly the blood of Jesus is the means by
which we overcome the accuser. 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 till death."
