And to Jesus, mediator of a new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling (cleansing, purification), speaking better things than that of Abel!
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלהים) says:
Jesus released you from your sins by His blood and made you a kingdom, priests unto Me. Revelation 1:5-6. In Him you have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of your trespasses, according to the riches of His grace. Ephesians 1:7. He made peace through the blood of the Cross. Colossians 1:20. You were not redeemed by perishable things such as the blood of lambs, goats, or bulls, or ever gold or silver but with the imperishable, eternal, pure, and precious blood of Jesus. 1 Peter 1:17-21. The true sacrificial Lamb slain since the foundation of the world. Revelation 13:8. He is the cornerstone on which everything is built. 1 Peter 2:6-8. His blood has given eternal life to all who receive Him. Hebrews 9:12.
Why blood? It speaks propitiation, atonement, purification, and emancipation. It pays for an eternal life lost, speaks of an eternal life given, for the life is in the blood.
For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood by reason of the life that makes atonement.’ Leviticus 17:11.
When I gave Moses plans for the Tabernacle where sins would be atoned for and covered by blood sacrifices, I first designed the Ark of the Covenant (of the Testimony) to be placed inside the golden boards forming the walls of the Holy of Holies. If you recall that the lid upon it was the Mercy Seat (Propitiatory) of pure gold upon which were formed two cherubim looking upon the Mercy Seat with wings spread, and there, upon the Mercy Seat, the priest would sprinkle the blood of the lamb seven times and the sins of the nation would be atoned for and covered. And from above the Mercy Seat I spoke to Moses concerning the nation and My people. The blood spoke to Me upon the Mercy Seat of the sacrifice of My Son that was to come in time but already was available in eternity and I spoke SHALOM peace over the people and directed them in the way they should go.
There I will meet with you; and from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim which are upon the ark of the testimony, I will speak to you about all that I will give you in commandment for the sons of Israel. Exodus 25:22.
You overcome Satan in his accusations against you by the blood of the Lamb and the word of your testimony.
And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony. Revelation 12:11.
Are you making use of the two most powerful tools, weapons and blessings that you have? It is ONLY with these that you can conquer, be victorious, overcome, prevail over, and subdue the devil and his demons. It is only by these that you can carry off the victory, that is, come off victorious in every battle with that great dragon, the serpent of old who is called the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole inhabited earth. Revelation 12:9. (The word translated to English as “deceive” in this passage, in the original Greek, is the word “planaó,” which means to cause to go astray, get off-course; to deviate from the correct path (circuit, course), roaming into error, wandering; to be misled and deceived) (planáō is the root of the English term, planet, which actually means “wandering body”).
And it is by these two powerful gifts of Mine that give you the victory over sin and death that you are cleansed of all unrighteousness, iniquity and sin. And it is only by these that you will walk holy and blameless before Me. It is only by these that we are reconciled and again join as one.
Blessed are your eyes because you see and your ears because they hear, for I can heal you and protect you and make you more than a conqueror. Overcomers. And it is those who overcome that I reward greatly in My Kingdom. Revelation 2:7, 11, 17, 26, Revelation 3:5, 12, 21. But I give you the means by which you overcome freely and abundantly. And you do not have to travel far to get them. They are available to you wherever you are by faith in the One who loved you and gave His life for you. Yeshuah. The One who overcame the world.
I told Moses, when I instituted the sacrifice of the spotless lamb as a burnt offering, a peace offering, a sin offering, a guilt offering, and as the Passover lamb, that without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins. Hebrews 19:22. According to the Law, all things were cleansed with blood, because the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood by reason of the life that makes atonement. Leviticus 17:11. The sacrifices of the Law were a covering for sin in anticipation of their fulfillment whereby I achieved eternal redemption once and for all by the sacrifice of My Son. Not through the blood of lambs, goats and bulls, but through His own blood shed for all for the forgiveness of sins. The New Covenant whereby your sins and offenses I remember no more, for you have been cleansed, purified, sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. Hebrews 10:10. And He has made peace between you and Me by the blood of His cross. Colossians 1:20.
For you have been redeemed with the precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and spotless, the blood of Christ, and born again out of slavery to sin and death, not of perishable seed but by the imperishable seed that is My living and enduring Word, which is forever. 1 Peter 1:18-25. And My Word is accessible to you, especially with access to internet, television, and radio.
And I think now you understand the weapons that overcome all evil, that overcome the devil, the accuser of the believers and deceiver of the inhabited earth—and his demons: you overcome (in Greek, nikaó: to conquer, to be victorious, to overcome, to prevail over, and to subdue) the devil and all that comes with him by the instrumentality of the Blood of the Lamb and the Word of YOUR testimony. I have put My Word in YOUR mouth and covered you with the shelter of My hand. It is wisdom for you to declare it, for as you declare it, I can perform it. My Word spoken is living and active shaper than a two-edged sword and it will slay that ancient dragon every time you wield it by the hand of your tongue against him.
But you need to plead the Blood before Me!
The Blood of My Son SPEAKS louder than that of Abel. Abel’s blood cried out from the cursed earth against his brother for vindication by punishment—a life for a life– but the Blood of My Son speaks before Me on the Mercy Seat (Propitiatory) of your righteousness and vindication for in Him you have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of your trespasses, according to the riches of My grace which I lavished on you in Christ Jesus your LORD. Ephesians 1:7-8.
Christ your Passover has been sacrificed once for all and His blood perpetually makes intercession for you and continually cleanses you of all sin.1 John 1:7. And just as I taught Moses and the Israelites on the night I redeemed them from slavery in Egypt to put the Blood on the doorposts and lintels of their homes, so today you must put that eternal blood of the perfect Lamb over yourselves, your family members, your household, your business, your friends, your co-workers, your city, your state, your nation, and all peoples and nations for whom you are praying. For just as the blood of the first Passover lamb, which is only a shadow and a type of the One who is the true substance, protected from the destroyer so he could not touch all the people over whose homes it had been placed, much more when you plead the Blood of Jesus for yourself, for your family and friends, for those who are lost and ensnared by the devil (you especially have an obligation to do this for those whom the devil has deceived and is destroying among your family and friends, co-workers, and fellow Christians), and those who are leaders, pastors, and elected officials, over nations, over cities, over Israel—you will shield and deliver them from the attacking destroyer.
But above all, it will plead the case of the lost before Me and will find them mercy and grace to be saved from divine justice.
For the Blood of My Son speaks before Me and when I see the Blood I will pass over you and no plague will befall you to destroy you and I will not allow the destroyer to come in to your house to smite you. Exodus 12:13, 23. And the Blood of My Son speaks to Me of redemption and forgiveness of sin. The Blood of My Son speaks to Me of deliverance and salvation. The Blood of My Son is on the eternal mercy seat (propitiatory) in Heaven in the true Holy of Holies speaking to Me forever on your behalf, shielding you from the final wrath to come.
And with the power of the Blood raise the Sword I have put in your mouth—My Words. And pray all the promises I give you in My Word, which are all yours in Christ, over your life and the lives of others—whomever is on your heart. This is the only way you can face the attacks of the deceiver and always have the VICTORY.
So go to your secret place within and plead the Blood and speak forth My Word before Me and watch Me work wonders in you and in all you are praying for. Go to battle with these two weapons and you will never lose.
PLEAD the Blood of My Son over those who are lost and watch it speak for them before Me louder than any other voice. And by the way, the word used in Greek for the scripture that the Blood of My Son speaks louder than that of Abel’s blood is “laleó,” which means to talk and to speak but it is a word that actually means “talkative.” His Blood just will not keep silent, it continually speaks before Me of your redemption, salvation, reconciliation, and continually cleanses those walking in His light from all sin.
And My Word puts a hedge around you that the devil cannot get through.
I love you. Make use of My precious gift that is beyond value, beyond all silver and gold, beyond anything that anyone could ever pay—the precious Blood of My Son, shed for you for the forgiveness of sins and to make peace forever with Me. You have found your atonement that gives you eternal life. And it comes from My Word made flesh. The Word (the Sword of the Spirit) and the Blood go together. Have you never read, “The sword of the LORD is filled with blood, it is sated with fat, with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams.” Isaiah 34:6.
