Bible Verse of The Day – 11-11-13

Ephesians 1:7 (NKJV) In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace

We have redemption through His blood.

It is His blood that sets us free from sin and saves us from eternal condemnation.

It is His blood that washes us clean and lets us present ourselves spotless before the Father.

His blood is something that is valuable beyond anything on earth or in heaven. There is no price that can be put upon His blood.

I dare to say that NOTHING can ever be compared to the blood of Christ. Nothing. There is nothing else known to man that can set someone free from their sins. Only the blood of Christ can do this.

But there’s a problem. The church has reached a place where it treats the blood of Christ as a commodity to be named and used in whatever way we see fit to use it.

We hear people plead the blood of Jesus over so many things… our homes, our cars, our money, our earthly possessions, all in an effort to protect them from harm. It happens every single day around the world.

Let me be bold and say something that needs to be said. This Needs To Stop.

The blood of Jesus is not an insurance policy to be used and tossed around like a cheap tarp that can cover our belongings and protect them from a storm or any other type of physical damage. The blood of Jesus is not something that we, especially as believers, should take lightly enough to claim or plead over anything, except our own souls!

So we want to remind everyone today that the blood of Christ is precious… more precious than anything else we will ever encounter.

Let’s be sure to treat it as such and not cheapen it with our selfish wants and desires. Amen?

Amen

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-10-12

(Eph 2:13 NKJV)  But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

The blood of Christ has absolute power to overcome all evil.

There is nothing that the blood of Jesus can’t accomplish in our lives. The blood of Jesus causes men to draw near to God and become new creations.

If you have been washed in the blood of Jesus and have wandered away for some reason, His blood and the cleansing power of it have not been removed from your life. You have not been disowned.

Your life is in the hand of God and His grace is enough for you. No matter what you may have done or might even be doing right now, this very moment, it is not too much for the blood of Jesus to overcome.

Today is the day and this is the moment to let God draw you back to Him. Surrender yourself to Him and let Him break the power of sin in your life. Let God give you another chance. Don’t be ashamed or embarrassed. It’s not worth losing your relationship with the creator of this world.

God is calling you back to Him right now. Don’t wait. Run back to Him with your arms wide open.

Bible verse of The Day – 7-20-12

(Eph 2:13 NKJV)  But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

The blood of Christ is our source of life!

It is the blood of Jesus that takes away our sins if we apply it to ourselves. It is the blood of Jesus that gives entrance to the holiest of holies, having direct access to the father.

The blood of Jesus has been so minimized and watered down by centuries of tradition and man-made teaching.

We have been wrongly taught to plead the blood of Jesus over so many things… our cars, our jobs, our material possessions, and the list could go on and on.

But the blood of Jesus was shed to give us forgiveness of sins, new life, healing and freedom!! It wasn’t shed so it could be misused and taken lightly.

The blood of Jesus is pure and holy, like nothing else on this earth. Let’s be very careful how we speak of it and apply it in our own lives.
