Power In The Blood

2 Timothy 1:7 ~”For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”

Epehsians 6:10-18 ~10” Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.”~

Luke 10:19 ~”“Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.”

Hey *Y’all! I pray that this message lands on some receptive ears today. Today’s topic is called "Power in the Blood.” I am writing on this topic because my family and I have gone through some trying situations recently, and my spirit was getting weary. So one day while I was praying The Lord Spoke to me plainly and said “Do not fear as I did not give you a spirit of fear, I am with you. Stand up, put your battle gear on, and go into the enemy’s camp and take back what he stole from you!” At this point I was like “Excuse me Lord? “He said “I want you to go into the enemy’s camp and take back what he stole from you!” As you can imagine I was a little shocked by what the Lord was asking me to do, but as I began to pray about it and read several more scriptures, it seemed that everywhere I turned God was telling me to gather my fellow Soldiers and engage the enemy. He said His Blood had already paid the price for me, and I needed to start using that Power now. The time for standing still was gone, the time for letting the enemy stomp all over my inheritance was gone, the time for the enemy running back and forth into my camp at will was gone, and the time for being a slack soldier was gone.

This message is for those out there tired of getting beat on, cut on, slapped on, and picked on by the devil. We should not be running from him, he should be running from us! We are the chosen ones, the Children of the most High God! If you are tired then do something about it! I am not talking about physically fighting the enemy, but spiritually fighting him (and his imps), because we are in a spiritual war *y’all! We are living in the end times, and if you don’t know which side you are on you better choose now (or it will be chosen for you).

Sometimes I think that many in the world really think that all Christian people are soft and can be ran over, but I’m here to tell the devil and his minions that you go right on erroneously thinking that, because when you engage a True Powerful Child of God who knows the power of the Blood of Jesus, then you are in for the fight of your life! I will not be moved! You didn’t put me here, and you can’t take me out! The only thing you can do is cause distractions and make me stronger! I know my place and I know my name is written in the Lambs Book of Life! You can’t take it out! I am like a tree planted by the waters. I am covered by the Blood of Jesus! I am contagiously blessed - those around me reap the benefits of my blessings! The only thing you can do is cause me to thank you for helping make me a better soldier.

For those of you out there going through trials and hardships, please don’t waiver, hide, or run from the enemy -You are more powerful than the kingdom of darkness, and one of the most awesome things you should know is that you are going through, because you are on the righteous path, and all of the things you are going through are all distractions to keep you from focusing on the ultimate prize (God’s Kingdom). If you believe and are ready to engage the enemy and take your life back then please say this prayer, “Lord I am Your End-Times warrior. Use me as Your weapon against the enemy. Let all the enemies that make war with the Lamb be destroyed. I do not war after the flesh but after the spirit. I am Your anointed and You give me great deliverance I have redemption through the blood of Jesus, and I am redeemed from the power of evil.”(Eckert,2008).

Hey *Y’all! I pray that this message speaks to someone out there today. The message is something that has been on my heart and spirit lately –truly looking at others with Jesus –filled eyes. Awhile back I was at a local office and I was waiting to be seen, and while I was sitting there a stranger began talking to me, so I turned around to look at him, and what I saw before me was a man who was physically not all that pleasing to the eyes, he was elderly, disheveled, and disfigured but while he was talking to me I could feel the presence of God in the room. This man was so kind, and he even reassured me that I was in the right place to be seen.He was filled with the light of God. I was so touched by this man that when he left the room I literally wondered if anyone else could see him too. After talking with him I began to think about that scripture in Hebrew 13:2 “Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by this some have entertained angels without knowing it.” This really got me thinking about how many of us look at other people on a daily basis. How many of us really look at our brothers and sisters with the love of Jesus? How many of us too quickly judge people by how they look, the clothes they wear, the car they drive, etc., etc.? I will raise my hands to these, because I am guilty of this offense too. The world (satan) has many ways to make others feel inferior or not as good as some based on many superficial things. Please don’t get me wrong, there isn't anything wrong with taking care of yourselves, looking nice, and having nice things but if the nice looks and nice things are all you have to offer , you may want to really evaluate your heart and see what’s really there. You can be the most beautiful being on the outside, but if your heart is evil ,and you constantly spew out evil things then your actions say that you belong to the evil one. Fortunately, there is someone (Jesus!) who can give you a true beauty makeover. He can make you over from the inside out. Your entire mind, body, and soul can literally be transformed. You can be a new creature (if you want it.)

I recently prayed for the Lord to make me over and work more on my heart and the things that aren’t right in me verses always looking at my brother or sister’s imperfections. I prayed for him to guide my every word and action and help me bear good fruit for others to eat. Sadly, many are too quick to see the bad things in others verses seeing the good in them; they are too quick to write someone off as worthless. I pray that all of *y’all reading this blog begin to really look at each other with the unconditional love of Jesus Christ. Truly, take the worldly glasses off and open your Jesus- filled eyes and begin to see people’s true hearts and spirits, if their hearts are hard -love them anyway, (even if it means loving them from a distance) but also pray for them -instead of judging them. You never know you just may be the one to help melt their icy cold hearts. I know this is not an easy task but instead of asking “What would Jesus do?” start being proactive and start Doing what Jesus would do.
