Look through the Blood
by Ernest Angley
December 2002
Moments are important. The greatest moment you could ever live through is the one in which you found the divine blood of Jesus for your soul. The next great moment came when you were baptized in the Holy Ghost, when He came in to possess you, to move in and set up housekeeping within you. The Rapture will be another great moment for you who are taken, an incredible time beyond belief—but before that happens, there will be other great moments. Again and again the Holy Spirit has led you, preparing you for this catching-away hour. He not only has looked over your shoulder, He has dwelt within to operate the mind, to take over in every way each moment you will yield to Him. To feed you the Word, to feed you the truth is His desire.
Move on in to be everything God wants you to be; work on it moment by moment, minute by minute. The moments make minutes, the minutes make hours, and the hours make days and nights in which you can grow in Him. Live every moment in His will because the Rapture will happen in a moment of time, and only you who are ready will be changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed (I Corinthians 15:52).
The Greatest Teacher
How wonderful to be able to sit down with the Holy Spirit, the greatest teacher in the world! People talk about a good tutor, somebody to help them, but none will ever be so important as the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit dwelling within you knows everything about the Bible, every word in it; He knows how God meant it when He spoke it through His holy prophets. The meaning the Word of God has for each one of us is understood completely by the Holy Spirit. The Word is so deep you can read one chapter a thousand times and not learn everything God has for you in that chapter. Every time you go back to the Word with a sincere heart, the Holy Spirit will feed you and bring things to mind you never have thought of before.
A Changed Thought Life
The Lord wants your thought life to change, saith the Lord, to a thought life through blood-love. He wants you to sift every idea, every thought through blood-love before you take it into your spirit, to not live in feelings but to live in faith. In that way you will carry the spiritual things that are essential, the things Jesus carried when He was here on Earth. He showed us how to live in the faith realm, for He had a human mind as well as divine blood.
In this last hour the Lord is giving revelations on the blood. Never has much been written about the blood of Jesus it seems, and so the Lord is revealing the reality of the blood as only He can. All the power in the blood and your ownership of that divine blood-power is being shown to the Bride of Christ today.
With your salvation when you came to Jesus, divine blood became your possession. Just as the Holy Spirit is your special gift, the blood is your special possession. Treasure that blood possession; know you have something more powerful than all the powers of the devil. The devil cannot defeat the blood. When you are born again, you carry within your soul sinless blood; all Heaven’s greatness is in that blood. One tiny drop of divine blood has enough power to destroy the whole kingdom of Lucifer—one drop of blood.
Man’s Opinions Robbed the Church
What Jesus taught the disciples was handed down to us, but all too often man got into the act, distorted those teachings and taught and preached without the Holy Ghost. No longer under control of the Holy Ghost, the teacher, people allowed man-made opinions to creep in. For hundreds of years the Church was without preachers who sought the baptism of the Holy Ghost. It’s only through the grace of God that the light of the Gospel didn’t go completely out.
From Jesus’ wounded side flowed the Church; and the power to operate the Church, to operate the body of Christ, had to come from On High. After Jesus ascended into Heaven, God the Father sent the Holy Ghost to start the Church. Jesus had told the disciples: And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever (John 14:16). On the Day of Pentecost the Holy Ghost began His divine mission. For almost two thousand years He has continued on that divine mission. How tragic that because of man’s disobedience such a little, comparatively speaking, He has been able to do!
Ponder the patience of the Holy Spirit. For years Christians either rejected the Holy Ghost baptism or else simply didn’t understand it. They were blind even to fasting and tarrying before the Lord. Had they earnestly fasted and sought the Lord, they automatically would have received the Holy Ghost without even being taught.
She Received the Holy Ghost
I was told of a woman years ago who lived away from other people, who never had heard the Holy Ghost mentioned; yet the Lord baptized her in the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking with other tongues. I don’t know that she even realized what she had until she finally found someone else who had received the experience. The Holy Ghost baptism isn’t something that people couldn’t have received had they walked where they ought to have walked and had ministers who shined the light of the Spirit upon their path. How pathetic to think of the way so many multitudes of people have failed God and are in eternity without Him! Had they been blessed with Holy Ghost-filled preachers to direct them, it could have been a different story. Had they attended a church filled with saints of God who loved the great anointing of the Holy Ghost, they might have been drawn from the world and into the arms and grace of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Keep the Spirit of the Love Language in Your Mind
Keep the love language and the spirit of the love language in your mind, and your mind will be covered at all times by the blood and the blood anointing. Unless you use the love language, you can’t use the love-blood. You have to use the love language to use the love-blood, for in using the love language the love-blood flows.
It’s marvelous how the blood of Jesus rushes forth through the mighty power of God to take over the minds of God’s sincere and honest-hearted people, clearing up their minds, taking all confusion and despair away, all depression and oppression! The Lord hath need of your clear and sanctified mind.
The Holy Ghost has to work through your mind in order to operate through you. The Holy Ghost is seeking to operate—and will operate—through the minds of each member of the bridal company, saith the Lord. This reality is what the Lord is bringing us into; He is giving us the revelation of it, getting us ready for the ultimate power, the great gift of miracles working in unbelievable ways. If we can come into this place with God—which we can if we will yield—then we won’t let the devil steal from us.
Keep That Mind of Blood-Love
Think how much God has done for you. Consider the wonderful peace He holds out to you, peace you have allowed the devil to steal an hour, a day, a week, or sometimes a month at a time. When the devil steals what God has given to you, he replaces it with all of himself that he can; he brings in the flesh to make you think you can’t have God’s peace, that it isn’t for you, that nobody has peace all the time.
Do you believe Jesus had peace all the time? Do you believe He had love all the time? Do you believe He had the anointing all the time? We’re given the things He had so we can follow in His steps. Those problems that have worried your mind: Decide they will bother you no more; the Lord wants them to come to a halt. He wants you to have a blood-love mind, saith the Lord, so that His Holy Spirit can flow the greatness of Heaven through you, so that from your innermost being will flow rivers of living water. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified) (John 7:38,39). Jesus was telling us what would happen when people would be baptized in the Holy Ghost.
The Holy Ghost Is Falling Today
As we look back to the Early Church, we see the greatness of the Holy Spirit in action. When I, at age eighteen, came into this greatness of salvation and the Holy Ghost baptism, the most exciting thing I had ever heard of or read about was the way the power of God worked in the Early Church. For about one hundred and twenty people to receive the Holy Ghost at one time was simply amazing to me. I had to press, pull, plead, and stay with people hours and hours to get them through to the Holy Ghost when I started preaching over sixty-two years ago. If as many as twenty or thirty people received the Holy Ghost in a multiple-week revival, preachers thought it was really fantastic. I’d pray, plead and cry to help people get the Holy Ghost because I knew they needed the baptism. The years passed, and finally the time came when I saw over 64,000 receive the Holy Ghost in one service of an African crusade. Even before I got to the crusade grounds the Lord twice had told me the exact number: 64,577. After the Lord baptized all those people in the Holy Ghost, the Holy Spirit suddenly took me over and spoke to the crowd giving them the same number He earlier had given to me.
Getting Ready for the Unbelievable
And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh (Acts 2:17). Because the Lord said He would pour out His Spirit, we’re getting ready for mighty signs and wonders. People ask why I go to Africa. I go because multitudes are there who want God and the things of God, who in childlike faith will accept God’s greatness. However, it’s doubtful that America, Canada, and some of the other nations will ever receive Him in a great way. They’ve been given their chance, and they’ve spit in the eye of God too many times; they don’t want Him.
One thing you can depend upon: the fast growth of the world church. In the kind of nation that we have, in Canada, Germany, England and Russia, it will be the world church doing most of the growing. A limited time, however, will be allotted for sincere hearts to receive all the greatness of God as the Lord sweeps throughout the earth to those multitudes who will yield to God.
Fearful people may give lip service to God; but most of America, although having a form of godliness, will still deny the real power of God. A form of godliness prevails in the world church. Formed after God’s Church, it’s a church with no power; and a church without power is worthless to God. The Bible said it would be like that in the last days: This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away (II Timothy 3:1-5).
Operated by God
The true Church of God’s people will be operated by God’s Spirit, by God’s power. Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts (Zechariah 4:6). Not by the might or the power of man, but by God’s Spirit is the Bride of Christ led today. As you fully yield to the Holy Spirit, taking on the love-blood mind, the love-blood anointing, you will walk in the Spirit in love in perfection, the only walk that can lead you out from any contamination of false doctrine. Following in the steps of Jesus, take His opinions, not man’s. There is no valid excuse to not follow Him, for not only has He made His steps so very plain, He is also magnifying them in this last hour. Never before has there been such a manifestation of His steps for all the world to see as there is today in this outpouring of the Holy Spirit.
The Lord is shedding abroad His love; when His love goes forth, the blood goes forth. The love of God cannot go forth without the blood. Without divine blood there is no divine love or peace. Urgently the Lord has been seeking to bring people into the manifestations of the greatness of the blood, to magnify the blood before their very eyes so they can feel the necessity of it. What can wash away your sins? Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Abide in God’s Purpose
We’re coming into great knowledge of the blood, great knowledge of divine love. I’ve never before known God to make divine love so real. It’s amazing to me. I didn’t know there was so much to learn about divine love, I really didn’t.
You who are sincere before God: study the book of Ephesians, live in Ephesians. See the difference between sin and God’s way of righteousness and holiness. It’s all separated for you; the flesh, the devil and the Lord are put into place in the book of Ephesians.
According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love (Ephesians 1:4). Before the foundation of the world—the world of the Gospel—we have been chosen to follow the Lord into the living reality of His love.
In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will (Ephesians 1:11). We have an inheritance in the family of God as we abide in His purpose, in His redemption.
For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father (Ephesians 2:18). Since through the blood of Jesus we have a highway into God’s throne, why struggle and struggle in your walk for Him?
Battles of the Mind
Talking to my brother and his wife recently, they said they remembered that years ago I had told them about the battles of the mind. They still have the magazine with that sermon in it, and they have found the prophecy to be very true.
Yes, it was over thirty years ago that I started preaching on the battles of the mind; I’d never before heard a sermon about that subject. But the Lord gave me a revelation of it, saying that the battles of the mind would be the most fiery trials for His people in the final hour.
Some didn’t know what it was going to be like, and when those battles became severe, they thought they had lost everything; they thought God was gone from them. He hadn’t gone; they were just being battled mentally. The Lord always warns ahead of time.
That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith (Ephesians 3:17). With divine faith He will dwell in your heart to carry you through any battle you may have to face in this last hour.
Look through Love
With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love (Ephesians 4:2). The only way people can treat each other well is through God’s love. Without His love, there is no true fellowship. Without using the love of God, we can’t really accept each other. It takes the love of God to bring about Christian unity. When you fail to look at everyone through the love of God, you’ll find yourself criticizing, judging, failing to do the will of God. Looking at people through the love of God is what the Bible teaches.
When you look at people through the love of God, it isn’t hard to forgive; bitterness and resentment melt like snowflakes in the hot sun. When you look at people through the love of God, you look at them the way God looks at them and you forgive as God forgives. Easily God forgives, and He said He would forgive us as we forgive others. For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses (Matthew 6:14,15).
God gives us love to forgive; it’s ours to use. Oh, I love everybody! some say, but they don’t act like it. Talk is cheap, isn’t it. Let the wrong person step on their toe and boom goes their mouth. They’ll be talking about the incident two weeks later. I ought to have gone to the hospital. I don’t know when my toe will ever heal up! They did it on purpose. I just believe it would be the will of God for me to sue them. However, if someone they dearly love steps on their toe, their response is a martyred, Oh that’s all right honey, don’t think anything about it; I’ll get over it.
God Himself dares not see us without looking through His blood-love. The revelation that God has given to me for the Bride in this hour is that He looks through love-blood. We must look at others the same way. If you can’t look at a person through love-blood, don’t look because you’ll damage yourself, hinder your spirit, and have mind battles. Burdensome thoughts will cling to your mind that you won’t be able to get rid of. However, anything you put under love-blood is taken care of. With the eternal faith of God, put unwelcome thoughts under the love blood that will destroy thoughts unlike God. You don’t have to be the helpless creature you may have thought you are; Jesus came to make you free soul, mind and body.
The Spiritual Mind Is a Powerful Mind
Before Jesus brought deliverance from sin and sickness, man was helpless in the hands of the devil. But when Jesus came He made new creatures of all who would accept Him. He made men, women, boys and girls like the first Adam and the first Eve before the fall; but unlike Adam and Eve, many of these were people who would stand for Him forevermore. The new and living way that Jesus brought includes a spiritual Eden with the new and living heart, the new and living eyes.
Through God’s love, Jesus looked at everyone He met when He was on planet Earth. When you look at people through divine love, the Spirit embraces you, flows the greatness of the blood from your soul right into your mind; and you have power in the mind, a powerful mind.
Think about the powerful minds in Adam and Eve before the fall; such minds were never meant to disobey God in anything ever, yet the first man and woman failed to guard their minds and they lost paradise. The Lord is giving revelations in this final hour on the kind of minds we can have, and He is letting us know that without obedience, those minds will be destroyed.
I marvel at God; I marvel at the things He is saying for His people in this hour. When He reveals what we can have and be in Him, we see that His plan is not complicated: Love with His love and be totally obedient to Him.
No Excuse
Trying to make ourselves think we have enough human love, we’ve stumbled through the dark. Oh, I have love—but that person doesn’t deserve to be loved the way he acts. We excuse ourselves, but there is no excuse for not using God’s love. We may not love the way people act, but we must love their soul. God never has excused Himself for not loving someone. When God ceases to love a person He has a reason: That one has blasphemed against the Holy Ghost and has become like the devil.
The Bride Will Be a Mighty Arm of God
The reason the Bride is so pure, wonderful, righteous, and holy is that she looks at everything through the love of God. All disobedience gone, she will be a mighty arm of the Lord in this last hour, and the enemy will not be able to steal God’s love from her. Rich in God’s blessings, she is wealthy in His Spirit, faith, love, grace and power. The Bride will be spectacular. Members of the Bride are coming together in one mind, one accord in the deepness of God. As you walk close to the Lord, the Holy Spirit will help you grow so deep in His love that you will be blessed beyond words. But if you don’t carry this great love, you won’t be able to measure the depths, the height and the width of God’s love to really believe Him for every promise.
That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God (Ephesians 3:17-19). This is divine love, the only kind of love in which you can safely be rooted and grounded.
Past Feeling
God’s love produces the nine fruits of the Spirit. Without His love we’re nothing; without His love we needn’t expect His blessings. People past feeling who walk in the vanity of their mind have given themselves over to the devil. This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness (Ephesians 4:17-19). The Holy Ghost has nothing to do with those who are past feeling.
We will meet many people in this final hour who have blasphemed against the Holy Ghost, people past feeling. Live close to God so that you don’t waste time working with someone God isn’t dealing with. Could the Lord ever touch you with anything if you were past feeling? No. He couldn’t touch you with love; love as well as peace and joy has to be felt. To not feel laughter would do you no good. To see someone laugh without knowing what they’re laughing about, you might think they are laughing at you. You need to have feeling with laughter. When you feel laughter with others, you don’t think they’re making fun of you, you think you’re having a good time together.
Make No Storage Room for the Devil
Ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness (Ephesians 4:24). You can put on the new man only with the true blood coat or garment of divinity: divine blood, divine love; that’s the only way it can be done.
Neither give place to the devil (Ephesians 4:27). This is a powerful statement. You don’t have to give the devil any place at all. The Lord didn’t rope off a little space in your mind for the devil any more than He roped off a little space in your soul for him. The devil is not to have any storage in your mind whatsoever; but many have given him storage room. When you let the devil use your mind for the wrong things, he uses it for storage; and you mustn’t let him do that, saith the Lord.
Through love-blood, your mind can be steadfast and kept as free as your soul was the day you found Jesus. Do you remember when that liberty and freedom of salvation first came? You felt more like flying than walking. The Lord let you know the things that would hinder His great love, the things of the devil and the flesh that you couldn’t take part in—no longer wanted to take part in.
Walk in Love
And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour (Ephesians 5:2). Wherever you go, walk in love. Don’t walk up to someone to tell them off; walk in love. God will never send you to anyone without love. If God is going to use you, it will be in love.
You must have the same love Christ had; His love can’t be diluted. You may think having the love of Christ is impossible, but that isn’t what the Bible tells us. The only kind of love the Lord measures us with is the Christ love, the God love, the Holy Spirit love; it’s the only kind of love that exists for Heaven and Earth: The angels are loved with the same love that mankind is loved with.
For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light (Ephesians 5:8). You don’t want to be darkness; you don’t want a dark mind, no. Walk in the light of God’s love and see as He sees. Never look at anyone, remember, unless you look at them through the eyes of God’s love.
Be Holy without Blemish
For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth (Ephesians 5:9). In the fruit of the Spirit is the greatness of Heaven’s goodness, righteousness and truth.
That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish (Ephesians 5:27). That’s the formula, the directions for you: Be holy without spot, wrinkle or blemish.
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil (Ephesians 6:10,11). Put on the whole armor of God, not man’s armor, not your opinions but God’s armor.
The book of Ephesians is a fantastic book. Let the Lord show you when the Spirit of God, the flesh, and the spirit of the devil are working; He will separate them for you. The Lord wants you to give yourself over to this book, saith the Lord, so He can bring you into the place He is seeking to bring you.
Check Yourself Daily
Check yourself through the Holy Spirit daily. When you come to the end of the day ask yourself: Have I been like Jesus today? Have I walked in His steps? Like Enoch, have I pleased God with the truth, with holy living, with love words, with kindness? Did I offend? If you offended outside of God’s love, outside of God’s truth, you’re in trouble.
Check yourself: Did you wear the love bridle all day? Did you say anything unkind to anyone? Did you retell any hurtful thing that was said about another person; did you carry that kind of garbage, that kind of grief? When you tell people something damaging that has been said about them, you do it to hurt. If you think you said it through love, you’re deceiving your heart.
Did you speak any gossip today, or did you speak God’s truth in love? You can speak the truth, but if you don’t speak it in love, God won’t have anything to do with it; your words won’t have the faith of God in them.
Were you a peacemaker today or a troublemaker? Did you forgive all that was said or done against you? Did you yield to the nine fruits of the Spirit? Are you yielding to the fruit that the Holy Spirit would like to produce in your life; are you really using that fruit? If you don’t partake of the fruit of the Spirit, God can’t use it through your life. You have to use the fruit, dine on it. Galatians 5:22,23, But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
Did you shun the appearance of evil all this day, shun anything that even looked like evil? Abstain from all appearance of evil (I Thessalonians 5:22). If you didn’t stop to see whether a thing or action was evil or even had that appearance, if you shunned it, stayed away from it, God is pleased.
When you come to the end of each day, measure God’s love with your own life. How much love does it measure? How much love did you use? You’re the measuring rod that tells how much love God has been able to use through you and how much of His love you have used.
Take His love anointing, this holy greatness, this love-blood anointing. The love-blood anointing will defeat all the powers of the devil coming against you. You won’t have to worry about your moments, your minutes, your hours or the weeks ahead. No, in the love-blood power you will find the peace, the joy, the serenity of Heaven. By yielding to blood-love, you will have the same heartbeat as the Lord.
Salvation and Healing Are Offered to All
If you don’t have that heartbeat, if you need Jesus, pray with me now: Oh, God, save my soul. Forgive me for all my sins. I’m sorry, Lord, that I sinned against you; but I have come home. I’m going to serve you the rest of my life. I believe the blood of Jesus washes away all my sins. Come into my heart, Jesus! Come on in, Jesus!
If you meant that prayer, He has come. Start reading your Bible, praying, loving God and doing His will.
You who are sick and afflicted, get ready for the Lord to heal you. With His blood stripes healing comes; it is the divine blood that heals the people. With his stripes we are healed (Isaiah 53:5). He is the Lord who healeth all thy diseases (Psalm 103:3). Oh, Lord, I bring the cancer patients, the heart patients, the crippled, the sick and afflicted, the people with AIDS and all manner of sicknesses and diseases, the little retarded children. I bring them all. In the name of Jesus I inject your power from your supernatural gifts of healing and your gift of miracles. Through the power of the Holy Ghost in the name of Jesus: Heal! Heal! in the holy name of the Lord.
Yea saith the Lord, you have found me. I am your Lord; I am your greatness. I am your power, I am your strength, I am your love, I am your peace, I am your joy. I am your overcoming power, I am your victory. I am your smile, I am your contentment, I am your determination. I am yours, and I will walk with you as you walk with me. As you walk in my love I will always walk with you. As you walk in my faith nothing can separate you from me. I will be with you, and I will give you all the strength you need. I will give you all the victories that you need; I will supply. I am yours; be totally mine, and you can only be mine through my love-blood. Yield, yield to my love-blood, soul, mind and body. Yield to my love-blood and have my greatness with you, upon you and in you at all times, saith the Lord.
