The Power of the Blood Gives Us The Key to Living in Victory

Do you want to live in victory and be free from bondage? The key is to obey God’s Word. Prior to the first Passover, the Lord said, “The blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are” (Exod. 12:13, KJV). The word token means evidence or a sign in the Hebrew. God protected the households that had the sign. As you apply the blood in prayer, He sees the sign and will protect you.

People have asked, “Why should we ask God to cover us with the blood every day? Isn’t this vain repetition? Aren’t we being superstitious? Aren’t we acting out of bondage?”

I don’t pray every day because I must pray. I commune with the Lord because I love Him and want to talk with Him on a daily basis. I also ask the Holy Spirit to fill me anew every day. Asking the Lord to continually cover me with the blood is not because of bondage but because of relationship and fellowship.

The Word of God is indispensable to our knowledge and our faith in God. We need to gain the greatest knowledge of the Word possible. The Word and the blood work together. The Word says, and the blood does.

The evil one may fight you at every turn, but when you apply the blood, God’s power comes alive.

As a minister, I have preached on countless topics, but three things happen each time I preach on the blood.

1. Satan makes every attempt to distract me from my preparation on the topic.
2. The devil tries his best to disturb the meeting itself.
3. An unusual presence of the Lord accompanies the message, and many people find Christ as Savior.

Are you applying God’s Word to your life? Are you applying the blood of the Lamb to your life for your peace, protection, and guidance?

The Lord has never changed His mind about His blood covenant with His people. It was not limited to the forty years that the children of Israel journeyed to the Promised Land. The command was in effect even after they reached their destination.

It will come to pass when you come to the land which the Lord will give you, just as He promised, that you shall keep this service. —Exodus 12:25

We have even more to celebrate. God replaced the blood of sheep and goats with the perfect sacrifice, the blood of His precious Son, Jesus Christ. By the same token, we are to celebrate His covenant forever.

They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they loved not their lives unto death. – Revelation 12:11
