THE BLOOD OF JESUS 1


HYMN 8 – HAVE YOU BEEN TO JESUS FOR THE CLEANSING POWER?


1. Have you been to Jesus for the cleansing power?

Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?

Are you fully trusting in His grace this hour?

Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?


CHORUS:

Are you washed in the blood

In the soul cleansing blood of the Lamb?

Are your garments spotless?

Are they white as snow?

Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?


2. Are you walking daily by the Saviour’s side?

Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?

Do you rest each moment in the Crucified?

Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?


CHORUS:

Are you washed in the blood

In the soul cleansing blood of the Lamb?

Are your garments spotless?

Are they white as snow?

Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?


3. When the Bridegroom cometh will your robes be white?

Pure and white in the blood of the Lamb?

Will your soul be ready for the mansions bright,

Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?


CHORUS:

Are you washed in the blood

In the soul cleansing blood of the Lamb?

Are your garments spotless?

Are they white as snow?

Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?


4. Lay aside the garments that are stained with sin,

And be washed in the blood of the Lamb;

There’s a fountain flowing for the soul unclean,

Oh be washed in the blood of the Lamb.


CHORUS:

Are you washed in the blood

In the soul cleansing blood of the Lamb?

Are your garments spotless?

Are they white as snow?

Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?


MEMORISE: But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. – (1 John 1:7)


READ: HEBREWS 9:11-14 (KJV)


11. But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;


12. Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.


13. For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh;


14. How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?


MESSAGE:

The Blood of Jesus is the most powerful substance I know. I know how powerful it is because I have used it countless times and it has worked for me.


The most important thing that the blood of Jesus can do is wash away sins. Every sinner carries a burden of guilt.


However, the moment the fellow surrenders his/her life to Christ, the blood of Jesus washes away his/her sins. From that moment, the fellow is completely pure and none of his sins exist anymore. Isn’t that wonderful?


If you still carry the burden of sin, I advise that you ask Him to cleanse you with His blood today and you will experience great peace like never before.


Aside from washing away sins, the blood of Jesus is also a potent weapon to overcome Satan. Revelation 12:11 says:


“And they overcame him by the blood of the lamb and by the word of their testimony…”


Is Satan tormenting you in any area of your life? Just plead the blood of Jesus on it and you will overcome him.


The greatest covenant anyone can enter into is a blood covenant. If it so happens that your forefathers have entered into a covenant with the devil and you have noticed certain trends in your lineage, the blood of Jesus is the only thing that can break it.


A long time ago in my family, one of our fathers impregnated his maid and his wife at the same time. While the wife was well-cared for after her delivery, the maid, because of her status, was given food without oil – very dry and unappetizing, despite having delivered a son.

The maid, hurt, placed a curse on the family and from that moment on, any child born and given anything with oil to eat died.


The family found out and oil became forbidden for children in the home. Then I met Christ and His blood overcame the ancestral curse in my family.


The blood of Jesus is powerful enough to overcome Satan and all his demons.


PRAYER POINT:


I plead the blood of Jesus on my lineage and I use it to break any curse or evil covenant that exists in my family in the mighty name of Jesus.
