What can wash away our sin? Nothing
but the blood of Jesus.
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.(NKJV)
Why is the blood important? The blood is important because of the
remission of sin.
When you take care of the accuser
of the brethren (satan) through the declaration of the blood of Jesus, the
first thing that comes in is salvation. Salvation is not just about been born
again. Salvation is Sozo. SOZO is the original Greek word for salvation. Salvation
means deliverance from sickness, operation, poverty, death. Once you receive
deliverance, you begin to walk into abundance immediately. When you take care
of satan’s accusation, you begin to walk in liberty.
You can’t exercise faith with sin
consciousness. When the accuser of the brethren is taken care of, boldness and
strength comes to you and dominion begins to manifest. Dominion is only possible
when man is connected to God.
3 MAJOR WEAPONS THAT ENABLES A
BELIEVER OVERCOME SATAN.
If the Bible should talk about overcomers that means there are obstacles.
The sin of Adam affected the whole creation.
Romans 8:20 says: For the creation
was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it
in hope;(NKJV)
Humanity did not come by itself to submit to satan, Adam’s sin brought
creation under bondage and corruption.
Romans 8:21 says; because the
creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the
glorious liberty of the children of God.(NKJV)
All the troubles we are seeing in the world are not God’s creation and
purpose. But Adam’s sin pulled away the glory of God and corruption came upon
the earth.
Romans 3:10 says: As it is written:
"There is none righteous, no, not one;(NKJV)
This is the condition of humanity, everyone that is born in this world.
Romans 3:23 says; for all have
sinned and fall short of the glory of God,(NKJV)
Revelation 12:11 says: Revelation 12:10-11 says: Then I heard a loud
voice saying in heaven, "Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of
our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our
brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down.
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.(NKJV)
And they overcame him by the blood
of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony: What does this mean? This is not the testimony that
you share among your brothers and sisters in the church. The blood of the lamb
is one of the most powerful weapons but most underrated. satan knows the power
of the blood. It is the tool that defeats satan. You can’t approach God by your
merit. When Adam sinned something happened, his sin had three effect.
1. First, it
affected God almighty, man lost access to God.
Romans 3:23 says: for all have
sinned and fall short of the glory of God,(NKJV)
What covers the earth is the glory
of God. It was this glory that was covering Adam and this was lost by the sin
of Adam. When God ask Adam where are you, the first thing Adam did was to cover
his nakedness. God killed an animal and put the blood in-between him and Adam
and carried the skin of that animal to wrap Adam. Because of this God declared
that all have sinned and come short of His glory.
2. The 2nd thing sin
affected was man. Sin consciousness was created in man. Sin consciousness is
one of the biggest enemies of the church.
3. The 3rd place that
sin had an impact was before satan: Sin is a legal document. Sin gave satan
boldness and legal ground to act. The
major consequence of sin is judgment. God spoke to Abraham that the cry of Sodom
and Gomorrah has come up before me. And
Abraham began to negotiate with God. The time of Noah was so severe that God
apologized to Himself for creating the world. One of the things that satan does
is to get a believer to have sin consciousness. Sin provokes judgment which is
the main target of satan.
Why is the blood important? The blood
is important for remission of sins.
THERE ARE 3 LAWS THAT BREAKS THE CYCLE OF DEFEAT.
1st is the law of resistance: As you keep on resisting sin,
it will definitely break. But this does not work every time. The law of
resistance does not solve the entire problem.
2nd is the law of environment: The Bible
said “flee every appearance of evil”. There are certain things that thrive
under the law of environment. The law in breaking the law of defeat is the
proper environment; you need to be in the right environment. God is not impressed
by your ability to withstand sin. Every wise man knows his limitation.
3rd is the law of displacement: You can’t
wipe out a law. You can’t wipe out the law of sin and death but you can
displace it. No matter how much light you have in a room, it will not totally
wipe out darkness. Light displaces darkness but darkness still exists. No matter
how much you use the Holy Ghost to deal with the issues of sin, you might still
have some issues, you don’t live above sin. This is the reason why you need the
blood to displace sin. There are certain things you do that you think are ok
which are not. The law of displacement cannot displace completely.
Romans 8:2 says: For the law of the Spirit of life [which is] in Christ Jesus
[the law of our new being] has freed me from the law of sin and of death.(AMP)
There is no law of eradication. As
long as you are still in the body, there is no time that sin or weakness will
be totally eradicated.
Romans 8:10 says: But if Christ lives in you, [then although] your
[natural] body is dead by reason of sin and guilt, the spirit is alive because
of [the] righteousness [that He imputes to you].(AMP)
You can apply these three laws and
after that, you will still fall short, that is why you must apply the blood of
Jesus. The blood is the only thing that gives you 100% result. Before God the
issue of sin was resolved. If God wants to bless you, iniquity will not allow
Him do that because is not His nature. The 1st effect that Jesus
provided was the positive effect. attornment means to cover sin, and in New
Testament it is not attornment it is called remission.
What a sinner needs is not
forgiveness but remission because his nature is sin. After remission, he can
then ask for forgiveness. The blood helps us settle an account with God. The
moment you are born into this world, there is a debt in your head which you
supposed to pay. But Jesus took care of this by dying for all of us.
Hebrews 10:5-10 says: Wherefore
when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest
not, but a body hast thou prepared me: In burnt offerings and [sacrifices] for
sin thou hast had no pleasure. Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the
book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God. Above when he said, Sacrifice
and offering and burnt offerings and [offering] for sin thou wouldest not,
neither hadst pleasure [therein]; which are offered by the law; Then said he,
Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may
establish the second. By the which will we are sanctified through the offering
of the body of Jesus Christ once [for all].(KJV)
He took away the first and established the seconed. Jesus came to do the
will of God. we
Hebrews 10:11 says: And every
priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices,
which can never take away sins:(KJV)
Every year the priests offer blood
for sacrifices. This works one year only. It expires and the sins keep on
pilling up and so judgment keep on pilling up as well. There was a different
high priest that showed up. The Bible said after offering his blood once He sat
down by the right hand of God. The high priest in the Old Testament does not
seat down because their works never finishes but the Bible said after this
particular High Priest offered His blood, he sat down by the right hand of God
Almighty.
Hebrews 10:12 says: But this man,
after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right
hand of God;(KJV)
Therefore, you don’t need to offer
anymore sacrifice. His blood speaks mercy and proclaims your inheritance. When
you proclaim His blood, all that the blood has brought you will begin to
manifest.
Hebrews 10:13-14 says: From
henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool. For by one
offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.(KJV)
3 Levels of Salvation:
1. Regeneration. The moment you got born again, your spirit is
re-created.
2. Salvation of the soul, the mind, the intellect. It happens as you expose
yourself to the mind of God.
3. Salvation of the body. This is the highest level of salvation.
Romans 8:24 says: For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen
is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees?(NKJV)
Hebrews 10:14 says: For by one
offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.(KJV)
The same blood that took care of
our salvation is the same blood that takes care of my spirit, soul and body. The
tool of sanctification which is the blood of Jesus is able to preserve your
body, soul and spirit.
1 Thessalonians 5:23 says: Now may
the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit,
soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus
Christ.(NKJV)
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.(NKJV)
