The Blood of Jesus.
There is power, power,
Wonder working power
In the Blood of the Lamb,
There is power power,
Wonder working power
In the precious Blood of the Lamb.
There are so many things that come to overwhelm us in this world that we live in today that without the protection of God over our lives we would not be able to stand. We are in the last days, and everywhere you look there is calamity, danger, pestilence, death, and sin. Even a Christian can fall prey to the traps of hopelessness that the enemy has laid out for people. We know in the Word that "the devil comes to steal, kill, and destroy" (John 10:10) and he is not willing to relent.
I can attest to feeling the oppression of the attacks of the evil one. There were days when it seemed like I couldn't make it and the more I looked around me, the more I felt like I was sinking in this dying world. Does that ring a bell? Remember Peter sinking after he had started walking on water? The suffocating feeling of helplessness, hopelessness and fear was unbearable. I was praying but even prayer felt like a burden. It got to the point where I constantly fought tears regardless of where I was. That's when I had a meeting with a very wise woman at my church, and she reminded me of the Blood of Jesus. From then on I have been pleading the Blood daily and I have watched as God's power subdued the attacks of the enemy.
You may say what has the Blood of Jesus got to do with anything. If you are a Christian, Jesus shed His innocent blood for your sake so that you can have forgiveness, deliverance and protection. There are two things I want to point out in the Word that let us know that blood is important. The first is the instance where God told the Israelites to smear the blood of a lamb with no blemish on their doorposts so that when the angel of death comes to attack the Egyptians, it will not come near them. If the blood of a lamb could be used in that manner, how much more the blood of Jesus, the Lamb of God. Secondly, innocent blood shed is intercession before God. When the blood of Abel was shed, the Bible tells us that the blood cried out to God for vengeance. How much more will the Blood of Jesus make intercession for us?
Today, no matter what you may be going through know this: the Blood that Jesus shed for you on Calvary is well able to make you an overcomer.
“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.” (Revelation 12:11)
