There Is Power In The Divine Blood
by Chris Machamer
December 2024
The divine blood of Jesus possesses great miraculous power, and divinity works in mighty ways through the power in that blood. The Holy Ghost uses that power to save souls and to make those people into brand-new creatures in Christ. Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new (II Corinthians 5:17).
Only the divine blood of Jesus can save a soul and give it eternal life; yet since Calvary, people all over the world have sought other ways to gain entrance into Heaven. Jesus called them a thief. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber (John 10:1). Simply joining a church, being baptized in water, being confirmed or doing anything else without the divine blood are not sufficient to provide a person access into God’s Heaven.
Jesus said He is the only door into God’s Heaven. Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep (John 10:7). He also said, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me (John 14:6). No soul will ever see the Father or His Heaven without Jesus Christ and His divine blood.
You Must Be Born Again
The Bible tells of Nicodemus, a great religious ruler of his day, going to see Jesus; and Jesus had to explain to him what it takes to get to Heaven. Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God (John 3:3). Jesus cannot make it any clearer to people that you must be born again. Divine blood and its power must cleanse you of all sin. That blood then abides within your eternal soul.
Through the divine blood of Jesus, you must have a spiritual rebirth and be made brand new on the inside. All deceit and old ways of living and talking must be gone. You have to be pure, true and holy.
When God first created Adam and Eve, He put divine blood in their veins. Through that blood, they and every member of the human race to come would abide forever on Earth. That was the will of God through the power of divine blood. God never planned for people to grow old or get sick. Adam and Eve should be alive and just as young today as the day they were created. That’s the power of the divine blood that flowed within them.
When Adam and Eve sinned against God, the divine blood in them became weak, human blood. That was part of the curse, and that blood still flows in our bodies today. Through that physical blood came sickness, disease, weakness, old age and even death. That death was not only for the body but also for the soul. Thousands of years passed before divine blood was once again able to dwell within humanity, and it took Jesus coming to Earth to make that possible.
Jesus, Born of a Virgin
Jesus was born of the Virgin Mary. The Holy Spirit overshadowed her, and the miraculous conception took place. Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God (Luke 1:34,35).
If a person refuses to accept the Virgin Birth of Christ, they will never see Heaven because the foundation of the blood Gospel of Jesus Christ is all predicated on the Virgin Birth. The divine blood that flowed in Jesus is what separated Him from every other person on Earth. The Holy Spirit supplied that divine blood to Him in His mother’s womb.
After Jesus grew and began His ministry on Earth, He demonstrated the powers of divine blood and what it would do for a person’s soul, mind and body. John’s Gospel tells of a man crippled from birth who was lying at the pool of Bethesda. Through Jesus’ divine blood, that man was instantly made whole. Then Jesus instructed him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee (John 5:14). The divine blood is holy, and it will not mix with sin just as oil and water do not mix. There are consequences to going back into sin.
John also tells of a woman who was caught in the act of adultery. According to the Law, she should have been sentenced to die; but divine blood went into action and protected her. Then the power in the divine blood delivered her, forgave her and gave her a brand-new life with power over sin. Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more (John 8:11).
Live Free from Sin
Jesus makes it very plain that it is man and his theories and opinions that dilute the Gospel and the power in the divine blood of Jesus. That power is limitless, and it will supply your every need if you will believe upon its power and yield to it.
And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people (Matthew 4:23). Notice that verse does not say Jesus healed all manner of people. He healed all manner of sickness and disease in those who would yield to the power of His divine blood.
When Jesus saved and healed people, they were free in body and soul. Then He commanded them to go and sin no more. If they chose to sin in spite of what divine blood had done for them, they would instantly lose their salvation; and they could even lose the miracle or healing the divine blood had given them. People who believe that a person cannot live free from sin are denying what Jesus taught and the power in the divine blood He brought.
He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil (I John 3:8). Sin is the work of the devil. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God (I John 3:9). When you become a brand-new creature, you will not sin unless you once again yield to the old creation.
Do you think Jesus suffered much and sacrificed even unto death so people could be cleansed of sin through His divine blood and then go right back into sin and still declare they are saved? No. Any reasoning person can look upon that situation and say, “That person does the same things I do, so why should he go to Heaven and not me?” Once you are saved, you must live according to the power in the divine blood of Jesus.
Live in Divine Peace
The power of divine blood brings you peace that those in the world can’t comprehend. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). If you are always drawing on Jesus and His divine blood, you will have peace in the midst of all your trials and persecutions. If you draw on people, material things and pleasures of the world, any peace you have will never last. All you will have when trials and tribulations come is a pile of torment.
There is no real peace in this world, yet people and even Christians spend a lifetime searching for it. Many look for peace in all the wrong places, and that causes them even more trouble and unrest. Only divine blood peace is lasting and can dwell within you at all times.
Jesus and the disciples were out in a boat on a stormy sea, and it looked like they would go down. Then Jesus stood up and simply said, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm (Mark 4:39). Even nature had to obey the power in the divine blood.
Child of God, the divine blood in your soul can calm the angry seas of life no matter how violently they are raging. So instead of looking at all the chaos around you and what people and the devil are doing and saying, keep your eyes fixed on Jesus and His divine blood; and it will calm every angry sea.
God’s Overcoming Grace
The divine blood brings you the grace of God, His ultimate favor operating in your life. That grace will give you the strength and power to overcome all of your weaknesses and inabilities no matter who or what comes against you. That grace was put to the test in Paul’s life, and he endured extreme persecutions. God told him, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness (II Corinthians 12:9). When you have divine blood in your soul, you have no excuse to fail God.
Paul went on to say, Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me (II Corinthians 12:9). Paul knew God’s grace was upon him, and God’s power was his. He knew it would enable him to do things he never could have done in just his own strength. He knew the power of Christ would make him a divine blood witness so people would see the Lord’s blood light shine through him and glorify the Father in Heaven.
Divine blood will provide the grace you need not only to overcome this world but to be content in whatever place you find yourself. In spite of all Paul went through, he still said, I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content (Philippians 4:11). Have you found that kind of contentment in your life?
I dare say no one has been persecuted like Paul; yet we can be so restless, discontented and unsatisfied with our life. That should never be when the power of divine blood is made available to all. The divine blood in your soul will reveal the divine will of God for your life as you yield to it, and there is contentment in that will.
Claim Divine Love and Joy
The power in the divine blood brings divine love to a soul. When you receive a true, born-again experience, you are filled with divine love. Suddenly, all the hate, bitterness, strife and unforgiveness in your heart are gone; and you love everybody. You will receive such powerful love that you will even love your enemies. Jesus said, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you (Matthew 5:44). Yet some people can’t even get along with their brothers and sisters in Christ.
You will not find true and lasting joy and happiness in this world or in its pleasures and entertainments. Those things only come through divine blood. Jesus said, These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full (John 15:11). That joy doesn’t come from the world, possessions, wealth or people. It is divine blood joy. It is joy unspeakable and full of glory (I Peter 1:8).
Through the power in the divine blood, divine fellowship is yours. But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ (Ephesians 2:13). That fellowship brings you the abundant life for soul, mind and body that Jesus spoke of when He said, I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly (John 10:10).
A Temple of the Holy Ghost
The powers in divine blood make a person pure, clean and holy and ready for the Holy Spirit to come in and live within their temple of clay. Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you (I Corinthians 3:16)? The Holy Spirit will never occupy an unholy temple.
If you have an honest heart, divine blood will lead you from Calvary to the Upper Room to receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost. With that baptism comes the tongue of fire and great power from On High that makes you more than a conqueror in anything you face in this life. Paul said, We are more than conquerors through him that loved us (Romans 8:37).
That Holy Ghost power also makes you a true Jesus witness. He said, But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth (Acts 1:8). That’s our responsibility through the blood of Jesus.
Through that blood, God hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus (Ephesians 2:6). What a profound privilege to be instantly lifted up out of your valley or out of the fiery furnace of persecution to a place where the Holy Spirit will anoint you, encourage you and strengthen you. Then He will set you back down to walk through that valley or endure that fiery furnace victoriously so you can win every soul marked for you to win.
Protection and Healing
Jesus said, Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you (Luke 10:19). Oh, how the devil would love to snuff out the life of a true child of God whose light shines forth in this dark world, but no devil can hurt you when you have a hedge of divine blood around you protecting you. You even have power to go forth and trample the devil underfoot. The young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet (Psalm 91:13). It’s not by your own will, strength or desire but by the power in the divine blood of Jesus.
Friend, let the power in the divine blood of Jesus do for you what no other power can do. It cannot only protect you but also make you whole. Jesus said, In my name…they [believers] shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover (Mark 16:17,18). Believers in what?—In the power and authority of the divine blood of Jesus. It doesn’t matter what condition your body is in or what the doctors have said about your case. The blood of Jesus has all power, and it was spilled on Calvary so you can be free.
Now, we believe in good doctors, good hospitals and good medicine; but when man has done all he can do, there is a cure in the blood of Jesus. He said, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth (Mark 9:23). The divine blood makes all things possible when you believe it and yield to it.
Blood Deliverance for the Soul and Body
Friend, healing for the body starts in the soul. Let’s make sure all is well between you and your Lord, that there is no sin or disobedience in your life that would hinder you from receiving the miracle or healing you need. Say this prayer with me and mean it from your heart: Oh, God, I confess all of my sins before you. Forgive me, Father, for I have come home; and I will serve you the rest of my life. I believe there is power in the divine blood of Jesus to wash away all of my sins and give me the born-again experience. I yield to that blood right now. Come into my heart, dear Jesus. Come into my heart. Amen. Friend, if you meant that prayer, Jesus is yours.
You are now a child of God. When Jesus walked the Earth in human flesh, He was never sick or afflicted. The divine blood made Him well and kept Him well, and so it can be for you. Let the blood of Jesus make you whole, not just of one or two things but of everything.
Raise your hand as I pray. Lord, in the name of Jesus, I bring those who are sick, afflicted and in great pain to you. Lord, the Word says, By whose [Jesus’] stripes ye were healed (I Peter 2:24). Lord, the healing is already theirs, so release that virtue into them. In the holy, blood name of Jesus, heal! Heal! Let your power flow to each one, Lord, to make them whole for your honor and glory. In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen.
Watch every improvement, and always give God all the honor and glory. Friend, let us know what God has done for you. You can contact us by email, leave a message on social media or however you choose to do so. We will rejoice in the Lord with you.
