Jesus blood speaks life and favor.

. Today, forensic science tells us that blood has a voice. DNA can be extracted from just one small drop of the murderer’s blood and the results used in court as evidence. Blood is an unpleasant subject to many because it brings to mind suffering and death. Curiously, the Bible is a book literally filled with blood. On 362 occasions the Old Testament speaks of blood, most often referring to sacrifices and death by violence. The New Testament also speaks of blood 92 times, most commonly in reference to violent death. Much of the Bible’s teaching about blood is in relation to the hundreds of appearances of related issues such as the Temple, priesthood, fire, and smoke. So blood in a sense can speak. And when it is the blood of Jesus, it “speaks better things” than that of Abel. Abel’s blood cried out, “Vengeance! Vengeance!” after his brother Cain murdered him. (Genesis 4:8–11) But Jesus’ blood cries out forgiveness for our sins, healing for our bodies, and peace and soundness for our minds. It cries out protection for our coming-ins and going-outs, good success for the works of our hands, the righteousness of Christ as our acceptance before God and much more! The shedding of blood and animal sacrifice likely began with God, after the sin of our first parents, Adam and Eve, as God covered their nakedness and shame with the skin of an animal (Genesis 3:21). Other sacrifices were offered by Abel, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Job (Gen. 4:1-5; 8:20; 22:3, 13; 26:25; 33:20; 35:7; Job 1:5). Perhaps the most insightful sacrifice was done by Abraham in place of Isaac, where it was promised that one day, through Jesus, God would provide the ultimate sacrifice (Gen. 22:14). Nonetheless, the Old Testament practice of sacrificial atonement was declared by God to be insufficient for the remission of sin (Psalm 40:6; 51:16; Hosea 6:6; Micah 6:6-8; Hebrews 10:4). This is because those sacrifices were only preparatory in anticipation of the death of Jesus (Jeremiah 31:34; Heb. 8:3-13). Additionally, the Old Covenant practice of sacrifice was often undertaken by people who did not truly love God in their hearts and instead had only an outward faith (Proverbs 7 especially verse 14; Proverbs 15:8; Psalm 51:17; Hosea 6:6; 1 Samuel 15:21-22). Jesus Blood solves all your problems. Because the bloodshed of animals in the Old Covenant was insufficient, Jesus was sent to shed His blood as our God-man who atones for our sin and bring us into the New Covenant (Jer. 31:31-34; Heb. 7:22). Therefore, Jesus is our Great High Priest who is in every way superior to all the priests of the Old Covenant (Heb. 2:17; 4:14-15). He laid down his life as the Lamb of God who takes away our sins (John 1:29). He is our Passover Lamb (1 Corinthians 5:7), who has saved us from sin and death by His blood (1 Peter 1:18-19) that was shed once to forgive all sin (Heb. 9:26; 10:10). What good can be the blood of Jesus? For example, if you are afraid of losing your job, speak the blood of Jesus over your job. His blood cries out, “Favor with his boss!” And in these days when you are shaken by fears that terrorism may strike anyone, anywhere, anytime, plead the blood of Jesus that cries out, “Protection and deliverance!” When fear rises in your heart as the doctor gives you his prognosis, plead the blood of Jesus over your body. His blood cries out, “Healing and wholeness!” And many other things. Devil fears the blood of Jesus. I was called to deliver around 40 who were possessed with evil spirit in a town known as Temerloh, Pahang. When I reached there I saw them trembling and possessed. When I plead the blood of Jesus on this family the whole family were set free. (All glory and honour to Jesus) Jesus set them free. (He is same yesterday today and forever. Devil fear the blood of Jesus. Another occasion a student who is our “cousins” was brought by an Ustaz to our house to deliver this girl. She was screaming but when she was brought to our house. We closed our home cell earlier and told the rest of our brothers and sister to live. We pleaded the blood of Jesus on her immediately she was set free. ( All glory and honor to our Lord Jesus.) There are many other testimonies that the Lord did through me and my wife. Jesus blood is perfect and powerful Today, there is no longer a Temple, priesthood, or sacrificial system since the Temple was destroyed by the Romans in 70 A.D. But in the New Covenant our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Cor. 6:19) and Christians are a priesthood of believers (1 Pet. 2:9). You are all Kings and Priest of Jesus you have the power. Tell to someone you have the power too. No more animal sacrifices. As Christians, we do not offer animal sacrifices but do celebrate the sacrifice of Jesus in communion (1 Cor. 10:14-22). And we do offer our lives (Romans 12:1-2), good deeds (Heb. 13:16), money (Philippians 4:18), and worshipful singing (Heb. 13:15) as living sacrifices to Jesus. Keep Hearing the voice of grace. The eternal blood of Jesus, which speaks better things, will never lose its power. Beloved, see that you do not refuse Him who speaks. (Hebrews 12:25) See that you keep hearing the voice of grace, which speaks salvation, righteousness, protection, deliverance, provision and healing over your life! Your Commitment. “Abba” Father I thank you for the blood of your only begotten son Jesus Christ which speaks better things. Right now I plead the blood of Jesus over my life, my family, my job, my finance, my relationship, over this country Malaysia, over Kuantan. That you set people free from the bondage of Satan. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

Rahab receives full blessings of God.

}WHO IS THIS RAHAB?

}A Canaanite woman.

}They believed in the god of fertility.

}Their pagan religion plunged them into the occult, into witchcraft, fortune telling, male and female cult prostitution.

}Offering of their own baby boys and girls as sacrifices in the fire to demons.

}Incest and homosexuality were acceptable practice.

}Leviticus 18:25 (New King James Version)

} the land is defiled; therefore I visit the punishment of its iniquity upon it, and the land vomits out its inhabitants.

}The land and the people there were defiled.

}God’s anger rose against the land and the people.

}God wants His people pure.

}Israel was a new nation just out of Egypt. God was teaching them to be a holy people (Deuteronomy 7:6, 28:9, Leviticus 19:2). They were entering Canaan, a land with religion and culture over 400 years old . Since the Canaanites were not about to change their ways, they would have to be removed.

}Why Rahab prepared to risk her own life to save the lives of the Israelites?

}Rahab’s faith in God. Joshua 2:9

}Rahab made very clear statements about God.

}Let us see the statement she made about God.

1.9 and said to the men: “I know that the Lord has given you the land, that the terror of you has fallen on us, and that all the inhabitants of the land are fainthearted because of you.

}

}10 For we have heard how the Lord dried up the water of the Red Sea for you when you came out of Egypt, and what you did to the two kings of the Amorites who were on the other side of the Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom you utterly destroyed. 11 And as soon as we heard these things, our hearts melted; neither did there remain any more courage in anyone because of you, for the Lord your God, He is God in heaven above and on earth beneath.

}How can this woman hear so many  good  things about God.

}She heard from the people who visited her.

}She was aware that only through the God of Israel she can be saved.

}She even said that He is the God of heaven and earth.

}She heard that the Israelites crossed the red sea.

}He faith grew even more.

}She pleaded for the lives of her family members.

}She asked the spies to make an agreement with her.

}The Scarlet Cord.

}14 So the men answered her, “Our lives for yours, if none of you tell this business of ours. And it shall be, when the Lord has given us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with you.”

}The spies made the agreement based on the kindness she showed to them.

}Again there is something that she must do in order  that she and her family must do.

}18 unless, when we come into the land, you bind this line of scarlet cord in the window through which you let us down, and unless you bring your father, your mother, your brothers, and all your father’s household to your own home. 19 So it shall be that whoever goes outside the doors of your house into the street, his blood shall be on his own head, and we will be guiltless. And whoever is with you in the house, his blood shall be on our head if a hand is laid on him. 20 And if you tell this business of ours, then we will be free from your oath which you made us swear.”

}Let us look at the Passover blood.

}Exodus 12:21-23

}New International Version (NIV)

}21 Then Moses summoned all the elders of Israel and said to them, “Go at once and select the animals for your families and slaughter the Passover lamb. 22 Take a bunch of hyssop, dip it into the blood in the basin and put some of the blood on the top and on both sides of the door frame. None of you shall go out of the door of your house until morning. 23 When the Lord goes through the land to strike down the Egyptians, he will see the blood on the top and sides of the doorframe and will pass over that doorway, and he will not permit the destroyer to enter your houses and strike you down.

}Rahab is like a Gentile Church.

}Jesus was a Jew.

}John the Baptist called Him “ The Lamb of God.”

}He was crucified in Jerusalem during the Passover feast.

}The early Christians were Jews.

}But when you believed by faith you become His sons and daughters.

}What happened to Rahab after this?

1.She and her family were saved.

2.Rahab married Saimon the leader of Judah.

3.Her son’s name was Boaz married to Ruth.

4.And her great grandson was King David.

5.And she is included in the genealogy of Jesus Christ.

}Everyone can receive the blessings by faith in Christ Jesus.

}Rahab lived in city which was under the judgment of God.

}She did not let the environment deter her from coming to God.

}She was able to risk her life in her believes.

}She did not let tradition hinder her from coming to God.

}She had a strong understanding  of the sovereignty of God.

}

}Rahab was searching.

}Psalm 34:10

}New King James Version (NKJV)

}10 The young lions lack and suffer hunger;
But those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing.

}The way she talked about God clearly indicates that she was searching and hungry for the things of God.

}Her statements about God puzzles me.

}“For the Lord your God, He is God in heaven above and on the earth beneath.”

}Your commitment and prayer.

}Abba Father  I thank you for the faith that Rahab had in you.

}Although the whole world would have condemned her she was firm in her believes about your mercy and forgiveness.

}Abba I pray that I too will speak about the your Salvation to my family members and friends to bring to you Lord.

}Give me this heart of compassion for others Lord in Jesus name I pray. Amen.
