Paid-For Promises |
Understanding the Problem from God's Point of View:
2 Cor. 1:18-22
; Dan. 8:10-12
-Every promise God has made to me has been paid
for by the Blood of Jesus. God has given His absolute promise. I just receive,
I do not earn or work for this. I do what God says to do. I do nothing to
move God but God moves me. Satan will do all he can to stop the blood. Great
boldness and confidence becomes our responsibility to secure these promises.
Hope:
Gal. 2:20
; Heb. 13:20-21
-Victory in life does not depend on what
I do but on what Jesus did. I do nothing but believe. God does all things.
I am a servant, not a god demanding God to do something because of my efforts
in praying or whatever. God fulfills His promises by His oath not by anything
I do.
l Jn. 4:1-3 ; Rom. 3:25-26 -Bloodless religion of traditions, and rituals, man's efforts does not deal with sin, but only the blood and the cross. Religion through tradition and man's wisdom tried to remove the effect of Jesus' Blood and establish a form of self-righteousness instead. It is only by the revelation that the blood remits sin and sin-consciousness, and gives righteousness, perfection of spirit and covenant communication. The Blood removes the stains of sin.
Heb. 9:9 , 14 ; 10:2 , 9-18 -We were bought once and for all. Our shame, guilt, inferiority, all are removed by the blood of Jesus and makes us a holy thing. Blood of Jesus breaks through our limitations of a guilty conscience and sets us free once and forever. I am forever made whole. No finger of accusation can affect me on earth because of the blood of Jesus.
Heb. 2:14-15 ; Rom. 8:1-2 ; Rev. 12:11 -Blood is the final authority which satan cannot penetrate. Blood of Jesus is the perimeter of Jesus' covenant and satan cannot go beyond.
Change:
Heb. 10:19-22
; l Jn. 5:5-9
; Col. 2:12-15
-We now have Blood bought
boldness to enter God's Throne room. We go in by His Blood which covers us,
washes and cleanses us, once and forever, and this by the law of faith in
the blood of Jesus which nothing in this universe can stop or penetrate.
Law of faith in God's word can be misinterpreted; the law of faith in the
Holy Spirit, I can disobey or ignore. But the law of faith in the blood of
Jesus, nothing can prevail against it, the Blood supercedes all things.
Heb. 4:14-16 -As soon as I see a need, immediately go to God, don't hesitate or dwell on sin, or a problem, a sickness, troubled thoughts, go boldly to the Throne, see self cleansed by the blood and act accordingly.
Rev. 12:11
; Eph. 3:10-12
-We give a testimony of what the Blood of Jesus has
done and is still doing because it is eternal. The Shepherd is working me
through all obstacles and barriers, as I see and look beyond the circumstance
of life and see Jesus in charge, the Blood which gives the victory, I act
in triumph for the battle has been fought and the victory has already been
won.
