That Precious Blood August 12th Devotional

Read:

Hebrews 9:12

12 and not through the blood of goats and calves, but through His own blood, He entered the holy place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption.

All over the world there have risen religions and beliefs that doesn't acknowledge Jesus Christ as our ultimate sacrifice. Their god is a god of war, indulgences, and other faulty foundations that is very shaky. The scripture here in Hebrews chapter 12 states that Christ entered the most holy place once for all by His own blood, having obtained eternal redemption. Hebrews 10:19,20 says to enter the Most Holy Place boldly by the blood of Jesus by a new and living way. We have a perfect covenant which is Jesus Christ and His blood. The blood of Jesus will convict of sin, bring someone to salvation, pluck one from the jaws of hell, and cleanse us of sin. We would die and go to hell if it were not for the blood that saves us. Every prophecy about Jesus in the old testament came to pass to the letter. Where Jesus was going to be born, the manner of Christ's death, Zechariah speaks of Jesus riding on a donkey, and of course we can't forget the very first prophecy in Genesis 3:15 where God tells the Devil that because of what he did, God would put enmity between him and the woman, and between his seed and hers. This was the first greatest prophecy about Jesus being born of the virgin Mary. Jesus did crush the satanic power of hell when He died upon the cross. The blood of Jesus gives us entrance into His presence. The blood of Jesus will never lose it's power, and we can put our past mistakes under His blood and He will cleanse our conscience from dead works. Oh! that precious blood of Jesus. There is surely something about that name. The blood of Jesus pours from the foundation of Christ to you today. You may need healing in your body. The blood is there to heal. You may need deliverance. The blood is there to deliver you. You may need salvation. The blood can save you now. There is no other foundation that will stand the wind of God's judgment other than the blood of Jesus Christ and the work of the cross. When we stand in judgment this will be the only thing that will allow us into Heaven. It's going to be our faith in that precious blood. Many will say, "Lord I have a doctorate degree. I did many good works" etc. But my heart to you today is rely upon the blood everyday to enter in His presence and purge your conscience, and if you don't know the Lord Jesus as your Lord, then repeat this prayer with me now. Lord, I realize that I was born into sin because of Adam's fall. I ask you now Lord to save me from the power of Satan, and make me new in you. Give me new life Lord. I repent now and turn to you as King of Kings and Lord of Lord's. Oh! that precious blood. If you have prayed that prayer with me you can go to my website and click awaken on my front page.

prayer:

Lord we come to you in your precious name. We thank you Lord for your blood and what you did on the cross. We don't take it lightly. We ask that your blood cleanse us of every sin and make us clean by your spirit. Create in us Lord a clean heart, and wash anything in us that needs to be washed by your blood, we ask it all in your name. Amen.
