Colossians 3:11, Christ is all. In the Jesus blood cup, we have all of Christ. At the Last Supper Jesus took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins (Matthew 26:27,28). Man has nothing to do with what’s in this cup except to use it; this is Christ’s cup for you; the whole Gospel is in the cup.

Colossians 2:10, Ye are complete in him [Christ]. Colossians 4:12, That ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God. Some people think we can’t be perfect, can’t be complete in the Lord; but the Lord said in the Sermon on the Mount, Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect (Matthew 5:48). How wonderful indeed!

Acts 2:28, Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance. To see the face of the Lord will fill us with great joy, great peace, great love, and great contentment. He is our hope, faith, love, our dreams day and night. In fact, He is our everything.

Divine blood was used in the beginning of man; it was used in the Garden of Eden. Adam and Eve were created in divine blood; their souls were righteous, holy, and never meant to be anything else. Had sin not entered, they would have always had life; life is in the blood.

Adam had a beautiful walk with God, but lost it. Noah enjoyed another beautiful walk with God as he built the Ark.

Lot was a righteous man, and the Lord preserved him; but Lot’s wife looked back, and for just one look she was changed into a pillar of salt. With one look she turned her back on divinity, destroyed everything. Because she turned her back on the divine blood, the divine life of God, she lost her life.

Even before the Law was given through Moses, a few people were righteous before God, and a very few used divine blood. Although in Old Testament days the Holy Ghost baptism wasn’t given as we know it, still the Holy Ghost was used by certain people. The works of the Holy Ghost are found throughout the Bible, both Old and New Testaments. Divine blood wasn’t offered to everyone until Jesus brought it from Heaven and put up the sign, Whosoever will, let him come! It’s a sign the devil can’t take down. Divine blood is for everyone.

In Old Testament days the covenant was one of the blood of animals, not the blood of divinity. The New Covenant would come later with Jesus and do away with the old. The old was tattered, worn, and it didn’t wear well anyway, for it didn’t have power to wash away sins. People, after the Day of Atonement, would go right back into sin. Animal sacrifices didn’t work.

In Noah’s day God was going to destroy all humanity because every thought of their heart was evil continuously. But in Noah, God found a man who had put faith in divinity and influenced his family to do so. Do you think Noah and his family had to spend time looking for a priest to sacrifice for them? No, they used holy divine blood. Noah was a righteous man; unrighteous people didn’t build the ark.

Lot, a righteous man, hated the sins of Sodom and Gomorrah. Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;) (II Peter 2:7,8). Lot’s righteous soul, that holiness, that divinity, came only through divine blood.

Consider Daniel: Did he not have more than animal sacrifices? Did he not have more than a human priest? Yes, he did. Daniel was so close to God that the lions couldn’t eat him; divine blood made him that close. God’s prophecies poured through brother Daniel. God does not pour His prophecies through unclean vessels or the devil. How do you think the men who wrote the Bible were made holy? They wrote as the Holy Ghost moved within them and poured God’s Word forth through them. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost (II Peter 1:21). The Bible prophecies were given to holy men by the Holy Ghost; the Holy Ghost is the author of the Bible.

Divine Blood Worked in Old and New Testament Days

Jesus used the divine blood to forgive sins even before He went to Calvary. He had it; He used it. Remember the man brought to Jesus on a bed: When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee (Mark 2:5). The Jews standing there mocked: That’s blasphemy! That’s blasphemy! But Jesus said, That ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins [before Calvary], (he saith to the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house. And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all (Mark 2:10-12). The man was healed.

Moses was a holy man through divine blood, not through animal sacrifices. Animal sacrifices did not prepare Moses to do God’s work. Remember, the Lord told Moses to put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground (Exodus 3:5). God works through divine blood, holiness, and righteousness. Take off your shoes; you’re on holy ground. If God can make the ground holy, He can make us holy who were created out of the dust of the earth: The LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground (Genesis 2:7).

The Holy Ghost Moved through Holy Men

Moses saw the back of God, he was that close to Him. On Mount Sinai, Moses lived with God forty days and nights. Do you think God would live with sin? He ceased walking with Adam and Eve the moment they sinned; but Moses walked with God, and the Holy Ghost was with him.

Isaiah the wonderful prophet received divine revelations. Do you think he could have received them through sin? Absolutely not! Those revelations came through the holiness of God. Isaiah was so holy that an angel took a coal of fire, the Holy Ghost fire, from the altar of God and applied it to his lips. Here am I; send me (Isaiah 6:8), Isaiah cried. When the Holy Ghost moved upon him and took over his lips, he was ready to go.

By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God (Hebrews 11:5). Enoch walked with God and was translated, taken to Heaven alive. Can a man be as holy as God? He’d have to be holy to go to Heaven. If God took Enoch into Heaven with one sin in his life, He would need to apologize to Adam and Eve. Adam and Eve lost everything through just one sin.

The Lord said, The soul that sinneth, it shall die (Ezekiel 18:20). One willful unrepented sin will damn your soul in hell. Adam and Eve committed a willful sin. Did they repent? The Bible doesn’t tell us, but we hope they did. If the Lord hadn’t told them to not eat of that tree, then it wouldn’t have been willful sin; but they knew better. It’s hard to tell how many years Adam and Eve knew they were not to eat of the tree before Eve let the devil talk her into sin.

If the devil can turn you away from the true Word of God, he has turned you away from divine blood, put you in danger of hellfire. That’s the reason you must be so careful.

The same gifts that worked through Moses are working today, the gifts of the Holy Ghost. Certainly the Holy Ghost worked the gifts in Moses’ life, absolutely!

Before Pentecost, people did not receive the initial evidence of the Holy Ghost, the speaking in tongues; but after Pentecost the initial evidence was used because the Holy Ghost would be offered to everybody and a special evidence would be needed. That evidence couldn’t be love, peace or great joy because those things come when a person receives salvation. Evidence of the Holy Ghost baptism had to be different from the evidence of salvation, so the Lord in His great wisdom chose speaking in tongues. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance (Acts 2:4).

Still under the Law before the Gospel of Christ was preached, John the Baptist had the Holy Ghost. An angel told his father: He shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother’s womb (Luke 1:15).

Consistency—the blood makes you consistent about the truth. That’s marvelous to me!

Elisha Had a Double Portion

Consider those two great prophets Elijah and Elisha. It wasn’t the blood of sacrificial animals that gave them the mantle of power they had; it was divine blood.

The gifts in Elijah and Elisha worked through divine blood. Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I be taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me. And he said, Thou hast asked a hard thing: nevertheless, if thou see me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it shall not be so. And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. And Elisha saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more (II Kings 2:9-12). Elijah, a holy man, went up in a holy chariot.

Elisha was filled with a double portion of Elijah’s spirit, and the gifts worked through his life in an amazing way. He had the gifts of discerning and knowledge. At one time when the Syrians were warring against Israel, Elisha time after time disclosed the secret plans of the enemy. The King of Syria thought they had a spy among them. But one of his servants said, Elisha, the prophet that is in Israel, telleth the king of Israel the words that thou speakest in thy bedchamber (II Kings 6:12). So the King of Syria, showing great respect, sent a whole army after Elisha. And when they came down to him, Elisha prayed unto the LORD, and said, Smite this people, I pray thee, with blindness. And he smote them with blindness according to the word of Elisha (II Kings 6:18).

The devil has to show respect whether he wants to or not. You can push him into such close corners that fear grips him to the extent he sends a whole army of devils after you. Maybe in the past he had just one demon on your case, but now he sends thousands—and you wonder what’s happening. Am I backsliding? No, you’ve just gotten closer to God, and the devil can’t handle you the way he once did. You’ve grown so close to God that when the devil looks at you he sees God instead, and it scares him. His demons report: We can’t do a thing with that one.

The Truth Will Make You Free

Turn away from all false doctrine, from all egotism. See what God is doing. The truth is the reason so many of you are free. Jesus said, And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free (John 8:32). Knowing the truth means you’ve taken all the Word of God into your life; you know it, you’re acquainted with it and you’re using it.

We have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing. For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat (Hebrews 5:11,12). Paul talked just like Jesus, told the people they were dull of hearing. This describes people arrogant to the servants of God. Beware of the danger of stubbornness and hypocrisy. You are a hindrance if you reject what God is trying to teach you from His Word. If you accept what He says, you’ll be all right. If you don’t, you turn your back on God and He will let you go. There will be a lot of farewells in this final hour from God; you’re no good to Him when you reject the truth.

Accept the Whole Truth of God

Ye ought to be teachers. If you’ve been living for God for years, you ought to be able to teach the truth. But if you still have need to be taught the truth, you didn’t mature; you’re deformed. For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe (Hebrews 5:13). If you’re just a babe in the Lord, you’re unskillful in the word of righteousness. But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil (Hebrews 5:14). Paul goes on to say in Hebrews 6:1, Let us go on unto perfection. When you come of age in the Lord, you know what good is and what evil is. You recognize righteousness wherever you find it and you recognize unrighteousness. Discern the righteousness in the Old Testament, and don’t be confused about the truth. The only people who please God in this last hour are the people who accept the truth. The Bride will accept the truth and nothing but the truth.

God gave the Jews the land of Israel, and now they’re giving some of it away. Instead of accepting the King of peace, they’re trying to buy peace; they’ve bypassed Jesus again. The Lord is offering them much in this outpouring, this great sign of their gathering back to the Holy Land. He told the Jews that their Messiah would come and they’d be delivered; they wouldn’t have to fear anything, devil or man. But when their long-awaited Messiah came, they rejected Him.

Again and again the Jews have failed the test. God scattered them among the nations and gathered them back, but it was the same story. By the time Jesus returns to end the battle of Armageddon, two-thirds of the Jewish nation will have been destroyed. The one-third left, the Bible tells us, will accept the Lord Jesus Christ. At last they will know who He is. They will look upon Him and cry out in pain for the one they pierced. And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn (Zechariah 12:10).

Just as God had to let untold thousands die in the wilderness before He could take the others into Canaan, now before He can take people into the Perfect Age, He has to clear some out so the rest will accept Jesus. A nation will be born in a day, the third who will accept Jesus. And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the LORD, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein. And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God (Zechariah 13:8,9). This is Bible; holy prophets foretold it.

Every one of the prophets listed in the Word of God whom God has poured His Word through were holy men of God. The same power of the Holy Ghost that we have today worked in Old Testament days. The only difference is the evidence: We have the evidence of speaking with other tongues. They had the Holy Ghost, the power, and the greatness without the evidence of tongues. They used divine blood, but they didn’t have a Calvary. They just yearned for the righteousness of God so much that divine blood washed all their sins away. Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth (II Timothy 2:15). Thank God that we have the truth. I love the truth, embrace the truth; I want it all.

Many people don’t understand the scriptures because they don’t study them with the Holy Spirit as their teacher. One must go into not only the Bible but into history at times to find out what the Bible’s talking about. History confirms what the Bible teaches. True history and the Bible are in one hundred percent harmony.

Who Was Melchisedec?

There has been much false teaching about Melchisedec. The Bible and history as well tell us who he was. For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him; To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace (Hebrews 7:1,2). Melchisedec was a righteousness man and also the king of Salem. Down through thousands of years Salem was understood to mean Jerusalem.

Although Melchisedec was a real man, he is described as being without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually (Hebrews 7:3). Without mother and father doesn’t mean that Melchisedec wasn’t born. Of course the man was born. In Jewish history a person not of the lineage or the stock of Abraham was considered to be without father or mother. If a man could not supply descent information, he was said to be without a father. It didn’t mean no one fathered him, I say again; someone fathered him or he wouldn’t have existed.

According to Jewish history Gentiles don’t have a father because they are not Abraham’s children. However, the Bible says with Christ, the Gentiles have been adopted in; Abraham is our father. Thou, being a wild olive tree, wert grafted in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree (Romans 11:17). We have been grafted in to the vine; we’re a branch of Jesus. Isn’t that wonderful!

We know that Melchisedec was greater than Abraham because Abraham paid tithes to him, gave him honor and tribute. Melchisedec was a priest before we have record of anyone else being a priest. He was somewhat of a universal priest. Christ is on the same order; neither one was of the order of the priesthood that came from Aaron.

In Psalm 110:4, The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek. Jesus is the person prophesied about in this Psalm. The Jews accepted the prophecy of the Messiah; they just didn’t accept Jesus as the one fulfilling this wonderful prophecy.

To be a priest required certain qualifications. Through Moses, God commanded that the high priest be chosen from among the brethren, from the family of Aaron, the tribe of Levi. Because Jesus had not come from the stock of Levitical priests, in the eyes of the Jews He could not be a priest. The book of Hebrews makes clear, however, that it was not necessary for the priest to come from a particular stock. Melchisedec, a priest of the most high God, didn’t come from the stock of Aaron; and Jesus was the Son of the most high God. To understand the book of Hebrews, connect it with Jewish history. Melchisedec was a Canaanite, and yet he was a priest.

Qualifications of the Old Testament Priests

Leviticus 21:10-14, And he that is the high priest among his brethren, upon whose head the anointing oil was poured, and that is consecrated to put on the garments, shall not uncover his head, nor rend his clothes; Neither shall he go in to any dead body, nor defile himself for his father, or for his mother; Neither shall he go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his God; for the crown of the anointing oil of his God is upon him: I am the LORD. And he shall take a wife in her virginity. A widow, or a divorced woman, or profane, or an harlot, these shall he not take: but he shall take a virgin of his own people to wife. The priest had to meet qualifications; he had to marry a virgin—and that’s good for a preacher, too. A preacher should marry a virgin, nothing less; I did. God was careful with the priesthood, and He is just as careful with the true ministry today.

A priest could not marry a widow. He couldn’t be divorced, or married to a divorcee, to one of another nation, or to a harlot—those were rules for the Jewish priesthood. People were excluded from the priesthood entirely if they didn’t meet these qualifications no matter if they were of the household of Aaron. The Lord tried to keep the priesthood clean so he could bless them.

A priest had to prove that he was of the descent of Aaron. If he could not, he was cast out. Ezra 2:62, These sought their register among those that were reckoned by genealogy, but they were not found: therefore were they, as polluted, put from the priesthood. Nehemiah 7:63,64, And of the priests: the children of Habaiah, the children of Koz, the children of Barzillai, which took one of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite to wife, and was called after their name. These sought their register among those that were reckoned by genealogy, but it was not found: therefore were they, as polluted, put from the priesthood.

I love the book of Hebrews. If there is anything in there you don’t understand, stick with it until you understand it all. Hebrews is not a book to be understood after you get to glory; it’s to be understood now.

A Divine Priest of Righteousness

Melchisedec, remember, the priest first mentioned in the Holy Bible is of the same order as Christ, a priest of the divine will of God, a priest of righteousness and holiness. He reigned in Salem for one hundred and thirteen years history tells us. He died a righteous man and a bachelor; he never married. You can’t be righteous—and the Bible declares Melchisedec was—without divinity, divine blood. Melchisedec had that divine blood in his soul, for he was a priest of the most high God.

The two great priests of all time are not recognized by the Jews. This demonstrates only one way man has hindered God.

Jesus is the priest of the most high God, bringing a new covenant and doing away with the old. Plainly the book of Hebrews tells us that Jesus did away with the old covenant and became the only priest.

God changed the law of the priesthood because it didn’t work. He sent the priest Jesus, the King of Kings, in a takeover by the Gospel; but the Jews, I say again, would not accept the takeover that was offered to them. When the Jews rejected Jesus, God turned to the Gentiles and grafted them in.

By now I hope you understand who Melchisedec was—a Canaanite, a righteous man and priest of God. He reigned for 113 years. Just like Jesus was the Son of God, Melchisedec was a righteous man and a son of God. Keep in mind that Jesus came in the same order of the priesthood of Melchisedec, and not the order of the Jewish priesthood that had been set up under the Law. Jesus was far beyond the Levitical priesthood, far greater. Had the Jews accepted Jesus the history of their nation today would be a different story; but they keep failing God.

Abraham Paid Tithes

Through Moses, God commanded that the high priest be chosen from among the brethren, from the family of Aaron. Hebrews 7:5,6, Verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham: But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises. The priest whom Abraham paid tithes to, Melchisedec, did not come from Abraham. Abraham had the promises, but this priest had a higher place in God than Abraham. Hebrews 7:7, And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better. Abraham was less and he was blessed of the better, God’s priest of righteousness.

Hebrews 7:8-10, And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth. And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham. For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him. Levi paid tithes to Abraham and Abraham paid tithes to Melchisedec.

Hebrews 7:11, If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron? Perfection did not come through the Levitical priesthood, through the order of Aaron, but through Jesus. Jesus is not called after the order of Aaron.

The devil has wanted people to skip the book of Hebrews, to be without knowledge. Some people have been serving God for years, but have never taken the time to really study, search and find out about this priest Melchisedec. Some people have their own opinions, but most just have skipped over the two different orders of priesthood and thought, Well, it has nothing to do with me. It does have something to do with us; it shows the greatness of God for the Gentile race as well as for the Jews. We’re just as dear and precious to God today as the Jews are. We’re all chosen by God; He wants us all now.

Grafted In

There was a time that the Jews alone were the chosen race—and look how the Lord treated the other nations. He drove seven nations out of their land to give Israel the land of Canaan. Now it’s a different story. I say again, we have been grafted into the family of God. God is sending us to the nations; He’s sending us to the heathen, sending us with the same Gospel message that Jesus brought. It’s time for us to move.

Hebrews 7:12, For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law. The Levitical priesthood was changed in Christ Jesus: He did away with it. There are no more animal sacrifices to be made. Christ Jesus was the one supreme sacrifice, the only one needed for salvation.

Hebrews 7:13,14, For he [Jesus] of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar. For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood. Moses, giver of the Law, spoke nothing of the priesthood of Judah; the priesthood was from the tribe of Levi, I say again.

Hebrews 7:15, And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest. Another priest, Jesus, arose. There are just two priests we’re concerned about today; those other priests, for the most part, were a failure before God. God couldn’t stand the sacrifices they made; animal sacrifices were repulsive to Him. But then Jesus, the second great priest of righteousness, holiness and purity, came pure as God Himself. Divinity had come down. God did not replace that first priest whom Abraham paid tithes to until Jesus came to take the priesthood Himself.

Jesus is our high priest at the right hand of the Father interceding for us twenty-four hours around the clock; our prayers go through Him. Pray in the name of Jesus; use His name.

We have a high priest who is touched with the feeling of our infirmities (Hebrews 4:15). The priests under the Law were not always touched by the feelings of the people, but Christ is touched; He loves us. Our high priest is so close to us that there are no boundary lines, no walls, nothing between us. When the veil in the temple was rent from top to bottom on Crucifixion day, mankind was free to go in to our high priest Jesus at any time. Isn’t that wonderful! I adore Jesus; I love Him, and I know He always understands me. I walk with Him, talk to Him; He reveals Himself to me in many beautiful ways. He’s walking with you who are born again, so why worry about others, even your own kin—what does it matter what they think? Why should it hurt you if they don’t want to associate with you, if they don’t like your salvation? You have one thing to think about: bringing in the harvest of lost souls so we can go home. Keep focused on the Jesus “go ye”; let it burn on the altar of your heart, take over your mind daily. Souls must be paramount in your mind. When you wake up each morning, pray Lord, give us souls! Give us souls!

Jesus Fulfilled the Law

Hebrews 7:15-17: After the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest, Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life. For he testifieth, Thou [Jesus] art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. Forever Jesus is our priest; there will never be another priest; He has fulfilled the Law. The old is over; the new is ours. You’re not judged by the old whatsoever; you’re judged only by the new.

Hebrews 7:19, For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God. Although the Law and the blood of animals made nothing perfect, that didn’t mean certain people didn’t use holy blood. It just wasn’t offered to everybody as it is today, offered to whosoever will. Christ had to die to pay the price for the whole human race, die to become their high priest. As far as those holy prophets of old were concerned, their high priest was in the righteousness and holiness of God.

Hebrews 7:20-25, And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest: (For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:) By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament. And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death: But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood. Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. This priest Jesus can save everybody who wants saving; no other priest could. Take Jesus away as high priest and no one could get saved, for there would be no blood of Calvary offered, no sacrificial blood.

The holy men of old were not saved through sacrificial blood; they were saved through divine blood that hadn’t yet been sacrificed. This is the same divine blood Jesus later brought to Earth and spilled on Calvary. In the Old Testament we have no record whatsoever of the divine blood being sacrificed.

Jesus Dispels the Shadow

It’s no longer a time to walk in shadows. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me (Psalm 23:4). Jesus, our shepherd in living reality, came to erase all the shadows of death for us. There will be no shadows of death in the valley, for the whole valley will light up with the life of Jesus when He comes for one of His own.

I know of a godly woman who had an unbelievable fear of death. Her son-in-law had never seen anyone who was saved with such a great fear of it. But he was there when she was dying. With her last breath she looked up at him with a big smile and said, “Claude, it wasn’t what I thought it was going to be!” Then she was gone. It wasn’t what I thought it was going to be! Isn’t that wonderful!

You will find out that death is not to be feared if you have salvation because your high priest Jesus will be there; He has taken care of it all. There will be no dark valley for you, no tunnel to go through. Jesus conquered death, hell and the grave.

Hebrews 7:26,27, For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens; Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people’s: for this he did once, when he offered up himself. Jesus our sacrificial Lamb never sinned. His sinless blood was sacrificed once and for all; He never will sacrifice it again. Whosoever will, let him come to Jesus; all nations are included.

Hebrews 7:28, For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore. How marvelous is the truth! Recognize the truth; don’t listen to anyone who would contradict it.

Do You Have Jesus in Your Heart?

This is your hour, saith the Lord, and if you don’t accept the truth now, you never will. God is giving you His whole heart just as He gave Jesus His whole heart to bring to you. He’s offering you all His love, all His grace. He’s offering you every promise you need, all the light in every promise. This is your hour if you accept it, but you have to accept it God’s way, the divine blood way.

If you haven’t accepted Jesus into your heart today, won’t you pray the sinners’ prayer with me? Oh, God, I am so sorry that I have sinned against you. I am so bound! I will never be free unless you set me free. Help me this day to put my faith, my trust in you. I believe that the blood of Jesus washes away all of my sins, all of my sins! Come into my heart Jesus! Come on in!

If you meant that prayer, He has come. The High Priest Jesus has become yours, and you are free. No longer a slave to sin walking in darkness, you are free to walk in the light, holding the nail-riven hand, that great hand of power and redemption. How powerful the divine saving blood is that reaches down from Adam to us! The Godhead has it, and God works through it.

This divine love gives wonderful revelations. Job lived before the Law was given and he had the revelation of Jesus Christ standing upon the earth as his Redeemer. Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book! That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock for ever! For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth (Job 19:23-25). Oh that it was penned in a rock! It was penned in the Gospel that was stronger than all the rocks, the Word of God. Isn’t that wonderful!

Divine Blood Brings Divine Healing

Divine blood, divine love brings divine healing. You who are sick and afflicted: Get ready for your miracle. God can heal you from that crippling disease, from blinded eyes or from whatever it may be that afflicts you. That little child who is deaf and mute, that little one born deformed can be set free by the healing Christ, be made a whole person at last, a little intelligent being. God creates and He can re-create. Healing is God’s will; it’s His love to perform miracles.

Lord, I bring the sick and afflicted to you. Lay a healing hand on the sick and afflicted. Lord, I’ve pointed the people to you this day, telling them that Christ has power over all sicknesses, over all afflictions, over diseases, over all deformities. There is nothing too hard for you, Lord. From your supernatural gift of miracles and gifts of healing it comes: In the name of your Son Jesus, Heal! Heal! in the holy name of Jesus. In His mighty name it comes!

The healing power is flowing. Feel it as I felt it that night when the Lord brought life to my entire body and stayed the cruel hand of death. Not a disease lingered. I was made whole, and you can be, too. What a wonder He was to me that night when He came and set my body free, a body that had been in such bondage, such torment!

Watch yourself or your child get well. If you will believe, that power will linger for days getting you well. Rejoice in Him, expecting miracles in abundance and nothing less. Jesus your high priest brings happiness, pure joy, freedom, liberty, everything good and nothing bad.

Anyone can be delivered today through our high priest Jesus. No case is too hard for Him. He is our hope, health, our everything through His divine blood.

So much good can happen to you now. Expect it, depend on it, believe it, and let the miracle blood work for you, saith the Lord. Let the miracle divine blood work for you. Humble yourself, and you can only humble yourself God’s way by humbling yourself in the blood, saith the Lord.

This is your hour of visitation, your hour of revelation, your hour of perfect deliverance. The Lord thy God is here, the Lord thy God liveth, the Lord thy God walketh in the midst of His people. He has come down to put Himself within our reach. In all His greatness, in all His might, in all His power He has come down to you today who have accepted truth and see Jesus after the order of the first great priest who pleased God in every way. Praise God for that one marvelous sacrifice of divine blood that will seal our souls for all eternity as we rejoice forever in our great glorious high priest Jesus Christ.
