And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. (Revelation 12:10-11)
How wonderful this is! God’s children overcame Satan by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony. Satan isn’t going to win; he never has, and never will! His end has been determined and revealed to us. He may yet have his modus operandi, which is deception; we also have our modus operandi against him: the blood of the Lamb, and the Word of our testimony.
A lot of believers have quoted this scripture to back up their reasons of saying I cover myself, business, career, journey, family etc., with the blood of Jesus. How do we use the blood of Jesus against the adversary? Some say it’s by “SPRINKLING THE BLOOD,” but that’s not what the Word teaches. The Lord Jesus showed us HOW TO USE THE BLOOD IN Luke 22:19-20: “And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.” He instructs us to do this in remembrance of Him.
1 Corinthians 11:25-26 says, “After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till he come.” As you partake of the Holy Communion, you’re proclaiming the blood of His death. His blood reconciled us to God, and gave us life. Hebrews 12:24 says, “And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.” Stand strong on your faith in the blood of Jesus.
That blood speaks your salvation, deliverance, wholeness, perfection, and eternal victory over Satan, sin and death. Therefore, taking the Communion is a celebration of the transcendent life in Christ to which you’ve been called.
SAY THIS WORDS WITH ME:
Dear Father, I thank you for the body of Christ that was broken for me, and His blood that gives me life. I remember what Christ did and proclaim that I’ll never be broken because He was broken for me. I’ve been reconciled to God and cleansed from all sin by the power of the blood. I stand my ground in faith on this truth, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
2 Corinthians 10:4 (Amp) For the weapons of our warfare are not physical [weapons of flesh and blood], but they are mighty before God for the overthrow and destruction of strongholds, 1 Corinthians 10:16-17 (Amp)
The cup of blessing [of wine at the Lord’s Supper] upon which we ask [God’s] blessing, does it not mean [that in drinking it] we participate in and share a fellowship (a communion) in the blood of Christ (the Messiah)? The bread which we break, does it not mean [that in eating it] we participate in and share a fellowship (a communion) in the body of Christ? For we [no matter how] numerous we are, are one body, because we all partake of the one Bread [the One Whom the communion bread represents
