Going to church, reading the bible, listening to Christian music will not advance your spiritual life. These activities may give you more understanding but until you are ready to lay down your life and take up your cross this leads nowhere.

What I am talking about is the sacrifice of self to advance the cause of Jesus Christ in the world. There is a destiny that God had for each of us that only we can personally discover. We can discover it only by detaching from the world and making ourselves available for the Holy Spirit. By detaching from the world--now you have time--the commodity that most Christians are not willing to give.

Jesus said, "Self-help is not help at all. Self-sacrifice is the way, to finding yourself, your true self. (Matthew 16:25)

"God has planted eternity in the human heart." (Ecclesiastes 3:11)

"Anyone who lets himself be distracted from the work I plan for him is not fit for the Kingdom of God." (Luke 9:62)

"The most important thing is that I complete my mission, the work that the Lord Jesus gave me." (Acts 20:24)

"We have been sent to speak for Christ." (2 Corinthians 5:20)

"We are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus, to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." (Ephesians 2:10)

Jesus won back our dominion

Posted 05-16-2021 at 10:14 AM by Albert Finch


Leviticus 16:14,19 - "Before the mercy seat he shall sprinkle some of the blood with his finger SEVEN times.....Then he shall sprinkle some of the blood on it with his finger SEVEN times, cleanse it, and consecrate it."

The fourth place Jesus' blood was shed was from His hands, where the soldiers pounded spikes to nail Him to the cross.

Genesis 1:26 - Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion of the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth."

God places all authority in the hands of Adam and Eve, but when Adam disobeyed God, that authority was taken from us and Satan became the god of this world.

When Jesus bled from His hands, dominion was returned to God's children. That means that whatever evil we encounter, we have the authority in Jesus' name to render it harmless.

Mark 16:18 - "They will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover."

Our authority has been redeemed. Our dominion has been redeemed. We need to take our hands, lay them on everything, and claim the blessings of God with authority, by the blood and in the name of Jesus.

Job 1:10 - "Have You not made a hedge around him, around his household, and around all that he has on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land."

As God built a hedge around Job, which limited Satan, so today He will do the same for any child of God who applies the blood to a given situation. The blood is the hedge that stops the Destroyer.

Revelation 12:11 - "And they overcame him by the BLOOD of the Lamb and by the WORD OF THEIR TESTIMONY, and they did not love their lives to the death."

Exodus 12:7,13 - "And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses...And the blood shall be to you and for a token upon the houses where you are: and when I see the blood, i will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt."

Confessions:

THERE IS POWER IN THE BLOOD OF JESUS TO SET EVERYTHING RIGHT, SATAN. I DECLARE TO YOU THAT HIS ATONING BLOOD WORKS NOW TO MINISTER DEFEAT TO EVERY EVIL WORK OF YOURS AND TO BRING IT DOWN TO NOTHING.

I OVERCOME ALL FEAR, DEPRESSION, UNBELIEF, WAVERING, AND HALFHEARTEDNESS, DISCOURAGEMENT, TEMPTATION, AND SICKNESS BY THE PRECIOUS BLOOD OF JESUS AND THE WORD OF MY TESTIMONY.

MY SOUL IS FILLED WITH LOVE AS I GAZE ON JESUS' PRECIOUS BLOOD.
BECAUSE I BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF THE BLOOD IN MY HEART, I APPLY THE BLOOD WITH MY MOUTH OVER THE DOORPOSTS OF MY LIFE.

Prayers:

PRAISE THE LORD! THANK YOU FATHER, FOR YOUR GREAT PLAN OF REDEMPTION! THANK YOU FOR THE BLOOD OF JESUS! I PLACE THE TOKEN OF THE BLOOD BETWEEN ME AND MINE AND ALL THE POWER OF THE ENEMY.

THANK YOU, LORD, FOR THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST. IN THE NAME OF JESUS I DRAW A BLOOD LINE AROUND MY PROPERTY AND POSSESSIONS.
