The Blessed Blood of Jesus




We know that in these end times we must be armed to fight the enemy of the Alpha and Omega. Armed not with visible weapons but invisible, not physical but spiritual weapons. The Apostle Paul tells us that we must put on holy arms and armor (Ephesians 6:10-18), and pitch battle against our unseen for, the devil and his host. While the sword of the spirit and shield of faith really are that by the spirit of God you can destroy the enemy and by faith in Christ our God you can defend yourself; I urge that thee are two more offensive and defensive weapons in our arsenal. John the Apostle tells us that the saints overcome Satan with two weapons, “the triumphed over him (the accuser of the brethren, devil) by the blood of the lamb and the word of their testimony and they did not shrink from death nor fear to die.” (Revelation 12:11). Here we see two weapons, the blood of the Lamb, Christ’s blood, and the word of their testimony.

The blood of Jesus and His death (sacrifice) is powerful. It cleanses us from all sin (1 Peter 1:18-19), reconciles us to the Trinity (Romans 5:10), let’s us enter the Holy of holies (Hebrews 10:19), makes us able to be in presence of God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Colossians 1:22) and allows God to live in us (Colossians 1:27, 1 Corinthians 3:16, 1 John 4:15). The blood of Jesus is a weapon, it tells the enemy no matter how hard he endeavors you are beyond reproach in Christ and that your eternal fate is safeguarded. No amount of sorrow or suffering from Satan can stain the precious blood of Christ. The testimony is the testament, the new covenant and gospel, “At this I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, "Don't do that! I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers and sisters who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For it is the Spirit of prophecy who bears testimony to Jesus."(Revelation 19:10). We are ambassadors and Jesus is making his appeal through us (2 Corinthians 5:20 ESV), the testimony robs our enemy of souls and sets people free. The blood is Greek Fire that burns sin, satan’s Power, and death’s power, and the testimony is a tidal wave of Truth to crush the schemes of the powers of darkness.

Our trust is in Christ our savior (John 6:40, John 3:16), His blood is holy because It comes from Him. God became a man and died for our sins on the cross, and the blood flowing from His body made propitiation and payment for our evil deeds. The blood is Christ’s banner, it is over the door post of your soul and spirit  telling the Second Death (The Lake of Fire/Hell, Revelation 20:10, 15) to pass over (not touch you) just as the angel of death passed over the doors marked with lamb’s blood in Egypt (Exodus 12:7-13). The blood of Christ is a shield against hell and the hordes of darkness, and the testimony of the Gospel is a double-edged sword.

The Blood of the Lamb is are armor against the powers of sin, Satan, death, and the second death.. Faith in Him (Jesus) covers our spirit and being with His blood. The blood is not special apart from Jesus but it is special because it is part of Jesus and marks us unto salavation. Our faith, focus, and love is directed to Jesus, and His blood is the anointing of eternal life . The blood is sacred because it flows from the Sacred One. Our eyes are to be fixed on Jesus (Hebrews 12:2), and the blood of Christ is a covering and seal that declares that Jesus has saved us on that cross by His death and sacrifice and shall raise us from the dead at His Second Coming. We rejoice in the blood, that we are set apart and saved by Jesus’s Grace. We do not worship the blood itself, we worship the Lamb, Jesus Christ, from whom’s viens, hands, and side flow the blood covering of the New Covenant that seals us for eternal life. It is Jesus that saves us and faith and confession of Him gives us eternal life (John 3:16, Romans 10:8-10), and when we do this His blood from Calavary falls upon us, washing us, marks us, and sealing us unto salavation while saying to Satan he has lost and God has won in Christ!


The Testimony is this Gospel, that Jesus Christ, God made flesh (in a body) has died for our sins and sprinkled us with the seal of His forgiveness: His blood. We by faith (trusting) in Jesus in our heart and word (confession) [Romans 10:9-10] we are saved, given eternal life, and granted heaven, a New Jerusalem and connection to God The Trinity in a close relationship where we may be in the cradle of His presence now, tomorrow, and forever. The Testimony  is this Good News that we are saved by Jesus and sealed and cleansed by His blood and death (sacrifice). So we covered by the blood of Christ and we testify to the blood of Christ, that Jesus alone can save us and His sacrifice and spilt blood has atoned, propotitated, expitiated, cleansed for all time our sinful self and made us now holy in Him. Amen.

The Potrait of Jesus: What Christ Looked Like

What was Jesus’s appearance? Pseudo-historians at National Geographic and other publications argue that Jesus’ humanity was of Arab or African descent. This is impossible because Jesus our God was Son of David according to His flesh, “He promised beforehand through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures, regarding His Son, who was a descendant of David according to the flesh, and who through the Spirit of holiness was declared with power to be the Son of God by His resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord (God),” (Romans 1:2-4), and King David was described as the following, “So he sent and brought him in. Now he was ruddy [red, ruddy, from the word admowniy {ad-mo-nee'}; from 'adam ; reddish of the hair or the complexion red, ruddy], with beautiful eyes and a handsome appearance. And the LORD said, "Arise, anoint him; for this is he. So Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the presence of his brothers, and from that day on the Spirit of the LORD came ...

Dispensationalism

John Nelson Darby (1800-1882) was a man who did two things, he took 70th week of the Book of Daniel and stretched out to the End Times, and he was the father of  Dispensationalism , a belief system that God dispenses different peoples with separate blessings and covenants. According to Darb'ys doctrine of Dispensationalism, God dispenses different covenants. There are total of seven dispensations that divide the history of man: I. Dispensation of Innocence (prior to the Fall, "Do not east of the Fruit of Good and Eve, Eden), II. Dispensation of Conscience ( You must assuage guilt and sin with blood sacrifices.) III. Dispensation of Human Government (Multiply and Subdue the world, example the Tower of Babel Gen 11:1-9, and Genesis 1:28). IV. Dispensation of the Promise (Dwell in Canaan, Jerusalem) V. Dispensation of the Law ("Obey the Law of Moses and the Prophets"). VI. Dispensation of Grace (The Church, Jesus Christ has come...

Orthodox Christianity and Messianic Judaism

There is a divide between the two sides of Christianity. One is lined by a rosary, the other with tallit (prayer shawl). In the west we tend to come from a Greco-Roman understanding of The Bible and Jesus Christ. We are saturated with images of the Crucifixion and see through the red lens of Calvary. Now The Messianic or Jewish perspective is becoming more prevalent as people begin to study the roots of the Christian faith. After all, Jesus was a Jew and his Twelve Disciples were all Jews of different sects and positions in society. By studying the Jewish roots of Jesus we come to understand the ancient customs, practices, rites, and traditions that are featured in the Old and New Testaments. We learn in Jewish tradition that a Rabbi had to be ordained by two rabbis and that when Jesus was asked, "by who's authority do you say these things?, (Luke 20:2)" the Pharisees were asking who had ordained Jesus and where he got his yoke (teachings), and Jesus responds, "wh...
