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.
