“Make much of the blood of Jesus now!” These words were spoken to my heart by the Holy Spirit at the beginning of 2007. It seemed that He was telling me that the Body of Christ was to make much of the blood of Jesus from now until He returns. There is a tremendous increase of the powers of darkness of evil in the world; Satan knows his days are numbered. It is only the blood of Jesus, the name of Jesus and the Word of God that causes Satan to run in stark terror from a child of God who knows his position of authority in Christ Jesus.
I began to study and pray about the blood of Jesus. In Billye Brim’s book, ‘The Blood and The Glory,’ she tells of one old-timer, Carl Roos, who before he moved to heaven said, “The Lord told us, ‘Make much of the Blood; and the Blood will make much of you.’” You see, a Christian’s life is in the Blood of Jesus. Lev. 17:11
Honor the Blood
The Holy Spirit went on to show me that many churches had stopped preaching and singing about the Blood of Jesus, and admonished me saying, “Everywhere you go to minister, I want you to sing about the Blood before you preach.” I am doing that and am experiencing an increase in the anointing every time.
Billye Brim said the concept of honoring the blood of Jesus was well known to the saints of old. I remember that when I began to travel and sing in the late seventies, I would always sing about the blood of Jesus. I noticed when I did that a stronger anointing would come upon me. Sometimes I would literally shake under the power of God. At the time I didn’t really understand why that was happening. I knew it was God because I could not shake like that in the natural. I came to know that it was the POWER that is in the blood of Jesus that caused me to shake like that. The presence of God would fill the atmosphere, and people’s lives would be touched by the Power of God. People were born again, delivered and healed by His power.
The Holy Spirit asked me, “Have you wondered why there have been fewer salvations?” No talk of my Blood— fewer salvations. He revealed further, ‘tell them to put their focus on the precious Blood of Jesus and they will begin to see a turn around in their churches, yes even in their individual lives and cities, and yes even in the surrounding towns and hamlets. Increase your faith in the power of the Blood and speak”!
The Power of the Blood of Jesus
I used to sing a song by Andrae Crouch called, ‘The Blood Will Never Lose Its Power’. It goes like this—The blood that Jesus shed for me/Way back on Calvary/The blood that gives me strength from day to day/It will never lose its power. It soothes my doubts and calms my fears/And it dries all my tears/The blood that gives me strength from day to day/It will never lose its power. For it reaches to the highest mountain/And it flows to the lowest valley/The blood that gives me strength from day to day/It will never lose its power.
The blood of Jesus has an unlimited reach in our lives. Hebrews 10:10 By he which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. When Jesus was in the Garden of Gethsemane in Matthew 26:39—O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt. Jesus, out of obedience, laid down His will for the will of the Father. He completely surrendered Himself spirit, soul, and body to the will of God for us. The power of His will is carried in the blood. The choice Jesus made in the Garden of Gethsemane to do the will of God is in His blood for us. The blood of Jesus cleanses every part of man. There is no valley to low or mountain to high that the blood of Jesus cannot reach. Whether it is a BIG problem or a LITTLE problem the blood of Jesus has the POWER to obliterate it out of your life. The blood of Jesus flows anywhere and everywhere sin or Satan has been able to reach or damage. Smith Wigglesworth said, “There’s not one thing in me that the blood does not cleanse.” The blood of Jesus reaches ever part; our will, purposes, motive and ambitions are purged by the blood of Jesus.
Live a Life of Full Provision for Others
Last month the Lord spoke to my heart, “Live a life of full provision for others.” With those words I encourage you to stretch your faith to the point that you are well supplied and abounding with the richness of the Holy Spirit so that you may be able to be a supply for others. I believe that being full to overflowing with the Spirit of God is your identity as a Christian. When God pours out His Spirit on people, the gifts are the ways in which the Holy Spirit manifests His presence into their lives.
The Holy Spirit is such an awesome person of the Godhead. He wants to give His gifts to others through you.
The full provision for others falls into three groups: three of them do something; three say something and three reveal something.
The power gifts (do) something, and they are as follows: the gift of faith, healings and miracles.
Food for Thought
Many Christians have asked, “Why do we not see more of the gifts of faith, gifts of healings and gifts of miracles in manifestation today?” Could it be that the Body of Christ has not been making much of the blood of Jesus? THE POWER IS IN THE BLOOD!
The Deceiver
Satan is the great deceiver. He is the one that deceives us into thinking we do not need to sing about the blood or preach about the blood of Jesus. Satan knows the power that is in the blood of Jesus. It was the power of the blood of Jesus that defeated him on Calvary.
Gifts of the Holy Ghost
Let us make much of the blood of Jesus, and see the Holy Spirit manifest the power gifts in our midst through the wonderful gifts of faith, gifts of healings and working of miracles.
The Holy Spirit spoke to my heart. He said, “Make much of the blood of Jesus now.” There is a pattern in the blood of Jesus. Everywhere you go and sing and preach about the blood of Jesus, if it is BELIEVED, RECEIVED AND ACTED UPON. Healings and miracles will be released in the HOUSE.
There has come a spiritual famine in the lives of my people because of a lack of awareness and acknowledgement of the blood of Jesus. They will not be aware that there has been famine until they put their focus back on the blood of Jesus. It has been a subtle attack of Satan. It has caused famine in the natural.
Thank me for the Blood of Jesus. Praise me for the Blood of Jesus. Worship me for the Blood of Jesus, and I will manifest my glory in unprecedented proportions right in your midst. There will be revelation of my love through my son, Jesus. You will understand why He shed His precious blood for you. My love will come into your life that has never been experienced before. Everywhere you go you will tell it.
Oh, such boldness in the Holy Ghost as never seen before. Everywhere you go, release the Blood of Jesus to flow.
If you will lift your hands and thank, praise and worship Jesus for His blood that He shed on Calvary for you. A spiritual praise will come out of your innermost being that will enter into the heavenly realm. This praise will come up before the throne of God releasing within you the empowering ability to access everything God has for you. Everything that has been held back by Satan will be released—you WILL gather up the spoil.
