WISDOM FOR THE DAY DEVOTIONAL

TOPIC: THE BLOOD IS SPEAKING FOR YOU
“Not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption.” – Hebrews 9:12 (NKJV)
Beloved, remission of sin requires the shedding of blood. Any philosophy that claims otherwise is false. This is why Jesus alone qualifies as our Redeemer. As Hebrews 9:22 declares: “Almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission of sins.” (KJV)
As you walk in Christ and maintain a Christ-centered mindset, the blood of Jesus continues to speak on your behalf. To be Christ-minded is to continually leverage what Christ has accomplished for you; His birth, death, burial, and resurrection.
It is not about what you do or what you might do; if you rely on your efforts, you will always see shortcomings and failures.
But if you stand on what He has done; which is complete, perfect, and eternal, you remain righteous before God and a terror to the enemy. Whatever the devil throws your way, remind yourself: “I am under the blood!”
Many people casually plead “the blood of Jesus” without understanding its power. The enemy does not fear empty words; he fears the authority of the blood and the confidence of the believer who knows what it has accomplished. The blood redeems, it forgives, and it continues to work today.
Let the storms rage. Let the waves of opposition rise. You are under the blood daily. When the enemy whispers that you will fail, be injured, or be delayed, remember that the blood is speaking for you. Under its protection, you cannot be defeated!
