Victorious Divine Blood Means Victorious Living

Victorious, divine blood means victorious living. Each child of God knows without a doubt that he or she is absolutely nothing without the blood of Jesus. Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not (I John 3:1). You who are born again are absolutely different from the world, a stranger in it; and the world is a stranger to you. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is (I John 3:2). We shall see Jesus as He is—what a fantastic experience!
The Bride of Christ will be brought back into the divine presence of God, into the purity in which God made man in the first place. All the greatness that God intended man to have is found in victorious living through the divine blood. Every real child of God can live victoriously because of the victorious, divine blood of Jesus.
Think on the blood of Jesus and let the Holy Ghost reveal the extent of the victory it holds for you, the deliverance and eternal greatness. Divine, victorious blood came to Earth with the Virgin Birth of the Son of God. Jesus brought divine blood from Heaven. You used that divine blood one day if you have salvation; you heard it would wash away all of your sins, that if you confessed your sins, the Lord was faithful and willing to forgive you and to cleanse you through His blood from all unrighteousness. You found the victory of redemption in the blood and nowhere else. Some thought to gain that victory by joining a church, by being baptized in water, by using various other ways that did not include the blood; but instructions from On High make it clear that you can find salvation only through the blood of Jesus.
Partakers of Divinity
In II Peter is this wonderful verse: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust (II Peter 1:4). Being a partaker of the divine nature is possible through the divine blood inside you.
When you receive a born-again experience you take on divinity, the divinity of Jesus, for you take on His blood. His divine nature becomes yours and is the reason you can live holy, pure, clean. This is victorious living. No shady talk comes out of your mouth, no curse words. You don’t talk like the world at all. Your conversation is holy, pure and clean as the words of Jesus Himself. No guile was found in His mouth.
The divine blood is your key to victorious living. There is no excuse, no reason why you shouldn’t have victorious, abundant life through the blood of Jesus, no reason why you should be defeated.
And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ (I Thessalonians 5:23). Through the blood you are preserved. The blood preserved the Early Church in all the greatness, power, goodness and love of Heaven. That’s the reason they conquered such a little handful of people. After all the work Jesus did here on Earth, only about one hundred twenty followed Him closely enough to be willing to go to the Upper Room to wait for the promise of the Father, the baptism in the Holy Spirit.
It was the Holy Spirit operating the greatness in the blood that opened the eyes of the multitudes to Jesus as very God as well as very man. The power in the blood gave the Early Church strength to stand persecutions, faith to believe all things. The power in the blood gave them everything they needed to trample devils underfoot. Through the blood they walked, talked like Jesus in their Jesus-victorious living; it all came through the blood.
Just as the disciples knew how Jesus talked, we, too, know how He talked. We have studied Him through the Scripture.
The Separated Bride
People who are not pure and clean do not live victoriously. The Bride has consecrated, dedicated herself to the Lord through the blood of Jesus; she is separated from the world. The Noah family, too, had to come out from among the people of the world, had to leave behind kinfolk and all. Dedicated, separated unto the Lord, only eight souls in that family were saved when the flood destroyed the rest of civilization. The Noah family didn’t mingle and mix with the evil and ungodly. Every thought of those outside Noah and his family was evil continually, like the thoughts of many people today. Every thought that comes through so many films and television shows is evil, ungodly. The spirit of Antichrist is fast taking over our America. But when I think about the dedication of the Noah family, the separation, how they had to stay apart to keep the vision, I am inspired.
We hear God saying to Abraham, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed (Genesis 12:1-3). Abraham separated himself from the world, was obedient to the call of the Lord. By faith he journeyed to the land of promise.
You will have to separate yourself from the world unto righteousness and holiness in order to keep the vision of the harvest of souls and the promise of the second coming of the Lord in this hour. If sinners share your home, live pure and clean before them. But don’t spend much time with ungodly people you don’t have to be around. The spirit of the devil can affect the Spirit of the Lord in you, grieve the Holy Spirit in your life. It can take the joy you have in the Lord.
The Lord came to separate. Jesus said, For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household (Matthew 10:35,36). Does God expect you to fellowship with the world? He is going to separate you when He takes you out of here, leaving the ungodly behind. For all eternity He will separate Himself and His children as well from the ungodly. God doesn’t take into consideration relationships when He separates; He considers righteousness. You have two choices: holiness or hell; righteousness or the lake of fire.
What separates people? The blood, the divine blood. If you don’t have the separation of the blood, you are part of the world not of Christ. If you are not consecrated through the blood of Jesus, you are not consecrated. If you are not yielded to the Lord through the blood of Jesus, you are not yielded; and you don’t have the victorious abundant life that Jesus brought.
Where does the joy of the Lord come from? From the blood that stained the Old Rugged Cross. The price was paid for you to have eternal joy, eternal happiness, eternal peace day after day, night after night right here on planet Earth.
You can be a vessel of honor for the Master’s use only through the blood. For God to be able to use you, for you to be a messenger of God or a witness of the Lord, you have to be cleansed through the blood. It’s the victorious blood that cleaned you up when you were born again, that cleansed you from all sin and made you holy. Without the blood you couldn’t be holy; you would be just like the world. Many church members are like the world because they have never been separated through the blood unto the Lord. The born-again are separated unto the Lord through divine blood, victorious blood.
Where Art Thou?
One day in the Garden of Eden the Lord missed His man and woman. Up to that time He had enjoyed a close relationship with them, but now when He came down to walk and talk with them, He didn’t see them. And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou (Genesis 3:9)? Sin drove Adam and Eve to hide from God, to sew fig leaves together to cover themselves. Fig-leaf religion was born, a cover-up of sin. The Bride does not have fig-leaf religion but victorious salvation through the blood of the Lamb.
Where are you? Where art thou? Living victoriously, you can answer: Here I am, Lord. I have the same mind—yours; I’m in the mind of Christ. I’m in your great, wonderful redemption. I have your freedom, your liberty—I have you. The power of your Resurrection is working within me, victorious living. I’m not pining about the world; I’m not desiring it. I’ve closed all the doors to the world behind me; I’m yours, Lord. I’m not doubting.
When you are born again, the life of Jesus flows through every particle of you. You are free. Jesus said, If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed (John 8:36). I am the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6). The truth sets free, separates from the false, from that which is wrong, ungodly and unholy. You who are born again are covered with the blood; you are not trying to cover up your sin, not running from God, for you are sin-free. God knows where you are anytime He calls. You are delighted to walk with Him, talk with Him. There is no middle wall of partition that separates you from Him; Jesus tore it all down. You can be nigh to Him through His blood, walking a new and living way that was not possible under the Law. In the new and living way, you are offered the same peace, joy, holiness and righteousness that once was available in the Garden of Eden.
When you are born again, Jesus is your ark of safety; you are inside, as safe as Noah and his family were in their ark. You are mindful of your Lord, what He is doing, and not of the storms that may be raging outside. Dining with Jesus, you are a part of Heaven’s vision, Heaven’s deliverance, Heaven’s peace.
Where art thou today? You who are victorious cry, Lord, here I am right in your love! Here I am, Lord, right in your peace! Here I am, Lord, right in your sanctifying power. Lord, here I am in your miracle blood greatness. Here I am, Lord, in your healing power. With your blood stripes I am healed! With your blood stripes I am healed! That same blood that cleansed my soul has healed my body.
Where art thou? The Lord loves to hear the reply, Lord, here I am in your loving mercy! I’m living in your wonderful compassion, in your joy. You can find me in your life, Jesus. I’m living your victorious life. You can find me with you every day, every night. Here I am right in your truth. There is no deceit, nothing false in me.
It’s wonderful to be secure in the Lord, in His cleansing, delivering power, to enjoy the benefits of Heaven even before you get there. Heaven has come down to you through the blood of Jesus and is resting upon you daily.
At one time Heaven was so far, far away that very few could ever reach it. But because of Jesus, many have already arrived on its shores through victorious living. Thanking God for the blood that stained the Old Rugged Cross, for the victorious blood that gave them victorious living on planet Earth, they’re on the hills of Glory shouting Hallelujah to the Lamb forever! You can reach up any time and get another armful of His greatness because the Lord has made Heaven that close. Thank God for the victorious blood!
Unafraid of what’s coming on the earth, not overwhelmed by the sorrows of life, the children of God can shout the victorious cry: Lord, I’m all yours! I’m in your salvation, justification, in your song of happiness, your song of deliverance!
Always let the Lord find you using His name in faith believing. In using that name, all the power of Heaven is available. You are connected with Him when you say, “In the name of Jesus!” Live in that name, carry that name, use it. The name of Jesus is your salvation, your joy, your greatness, your crown of happiness in this last and final hour.
Blood-Bought Salvation
Victorious living, victorious happiness is yours to claim. The Lord won’t look for you in the valleys of despair; He has lifted you out. Just as He lifted you out from the miry pitfalls of sin and established your goings, He has lifted you out of the pits of depression, oppression and discouragement and given you joy unspeakable and full of glory through His victorious blood. Money could never have bought your salvation, only His victorious blood could do that. He is your victorious Jesus, your victorious Savior who came all the way from Glory to bring divine blood, to spill it on Calvary and carry victorious blood back to Heaven. For all time and eternity victorious blood will be on the altar of God. The Lord can find you enjoying His blessings through the blood.
The blood gives understanding. Others may not know how to find their way, but you know the way through Jesus. You are not full of questions; you have answers, understanding because you are in the family of God. That means the knowledge and wisdom of God are available to you through the blood, through divine help. Man was not meant to be on Earth without the help, the wisdom, knowledge, health, deliverance and protection of his God. The Lord made man out of a frail substance: earth. The weakness of that substance was unimportant, for man’s great strength would come from the Spirit of the living God that dwelt within. In man is a soul that came from God, a soul that once was a part of God Himself. The soul would stay in that house of clay, a house that was never intended to be sick, to wear out or get old. Only sin could contaminate and destroy the great plan that God had for man and woman. Sin brought death.
Jesus came to seek and to save that which was lost in the fall of man, to bring man back into God’s greatness, into a place of close fellowship with Him day and night. You have nothing to fear, nothing to worry about when you are in the security of the blood with the full assurance of faith. You’re not walking the floors, wringing your hands wondering what you’re going to do. You’ve learned to put everything under the blood that you can’t handle. You found the great power of the blood when you asked the Lord to forgive you, to cleanse you; and He rolled away all your sins. Those sins went under the blood and you’ve never seen them since. Proudly you can say, “Here I am, Lord, in all the protection of the blood!”
Plead the Blood
The place for heartache, despair, oppression, depression, sickness, disease and other problems and hindrances is under the blood. When you put all those things under the blood and leave them there, you are living victoriously. Learn to plead the blood, to use the blood. The blood belongs to every child of God. By putting your problems under the blood, you rid yourself of your selfish spirit. You have peace and joy in the valley because divinity lives within and the good Holy Ghost has come to tabernacle with you, to dwell with you until your journey here on Earth is over.
God uses every benefit in the blood, flows them all to you, and as long as you accept those benefits, you live victoriously. Oh God, help us to live the victorious life! Some people talk about victorious living, sing about it, but that’s about as far as they get. One day up, the next day down, they are not the testimony they ought to be.
In this last hour, it’s victorious living for the Bride all the way. She will be with Jesus, her Groom. Looking upon Him, she loves Him; He is fair, wonderful, great. Above everything else she adores Him. Nothing will really matter but having Him with her. While others are scrambling, trying to find material wealth, the Bride holds the pearl of great price, a treasure more valuable than all the silver and gold in the whole world. Treasuring the riches of eternity, she sold all to pay the price to have that pearl. She let go of everything that would interfere, friends and kin alike. Take the whole world, but give me Jesus, is her cry of victorious living through the victorious blood.
Examine Your Life
The Bride with the joy and the greatness of Heaven will be a blessing to multitudes throughout the world as she demonstrates victorious living, acts it out. The beautiful sight of the Bride will turn the heathen, so many of them, to God. Ones who had never thought about serving the true and living God will be brought to the truth.
Some people have many doubts about God. One minute they claim they have faith in God and in the next, that faith completely disappears. That’s not victorious living; that’s plain, ugly doubting. Believe God is God Almighty no matter what the devil tries to do. Believe that the grace of God is sufficient in every situation. Know that God is real, for if God isn’t reality to you, you won’t have victorious living.
Was it victorious living when Thomas said, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe (John 20:25)? No it wasn’t. Some people hang their belief on conditions. If these self-made conditions are not met, they don’t believe. The self-importance of their own opinions takes the place of faith. The Psalmist said, I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living (Psalm 27:13). He believed the goodness of the Lord. Don’t say you believe because you saw; say you believe to see. Use the faith blood, the divine blood of love.
Are you easily discouraged? If so, you are not living victoriously. Examine your life: Is it victorious or filled with defeat?
Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases (Psalm 103:2,3). Why not accept this scripture? Why look at what the devil is doing? Why let him affect you? Why not accept the benefits of the blood and praise the Lord for them? Praise the Lord for victorious living, for the joy in life He has made possible for you to have. Enjoy His peace and be grateful for it. Don’t check with others to see if you are going to be happy; be happy in Jesus. Why should you be afraid? You have the blood on the inside of your soul, the blood that will defeat the devil and all demons. Why wouldn’t you live a victorious life? You have everything in the blood for victorious living. When you have divinity within, victory is there, too.
The Holy Spirit seeks to convince people to turn themselves over to Him so He can flow to them all that’s in the blood. The blood will bring the final defeat of the devil at the end of the age, but in the meantime, the blood can defeat him in your life if you let the blood work. Why rejoice in the final defeat of Lucifer but let him defeat you today? You have the same blood within you now that will put him into the bottomless pit. You have victory over him today.
After the White Throne Judgment, the devil and all his works will be sealed off through the blood, never to be remembered again by God or by us. At last there will be no devils to trample underfoot, to use the blood on. We will have the peace, joy, happiness in the blood in perfection. God wants you to keep before you always the deliverance in the blood. Know you are free through the blood; live in the reality of the blood. Today, much of Heaven’s victorious living is offered you right here on Earth. Jesus brought Heaven down, and we are connected with Heaven, I say again. How far away is Heaven? One step away. Jesus made it that close through the blood.
All Things Are Possible
All things are possible to him that believeth (Mark 9:23). All things are possible through the blood. It’s possible to be healed of any sickness or disease through the blood. The life is in the blood. Man can’t give life, and the devil has only suffering, disease and death, death, death. There is no life outside God; only God can heal. I appreciate good doctors, good medicine, but healing is in the blood. God made it possible for man to take medicine out of nature to use. Had He not put life in nature, there would be no medicine. Doctors can operate, but they can’t heal. There is a difference between being healed up and being sewn up. Thank God for what the good doctors can do, and praise God for the many different ways He has provided healing.
The disciples at one time were more concerned with vengeance than they were with healing. They asked Jesus to call fire down from Heaven to consume some people in the manner of Elijah when he called down fire on the enemies of God. But Jesus turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. For the Son of man is not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them (Luke 9:55,56). The Lord must have grown weary hearing His disciples speaking in the wrong spirit. They wanted things that had nothing to do with Jesus’ mission. He told them the way to walk, but when He turned around they would be out of step. He worked and worked, died on Calvary for them, was resurrected for them and walked among them forty days until His ascension to Heaven.
Before Jesus went away, He told His disciples to wait for the power from On High. And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me. 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 1:4,8). Wanting that victorious living, wanting what was in the blood to be served to them daily, the disciples went to the Upper Room. At last His plan was real to them. At last they would have the Holy Spirit to blend with their human spirit, making a beautiful Christ-like personality.
A Wonderful Heritage
The blood is your wonderful heritage, your marvelous possession, a God-given gift to you. God so loved the world that He gave divine blood, His Only Begotten Son for you. Receive the divine blood, be baptized in the Holy Spirit, and then go forth to be a witness.
People may say they have the divine blood, yet they do not live a victorious life. They will not use what the Lord has provided in His divine blood. They are born again, yet so bound in their minds that they live in oppression and depression. You can shake people momentarily with the love of God, trying to bring them out, but if they don’t hold on to God’s love and peace, they sink so far down into the pit of depression again that you have to throw them a rope of faith, and pull and pull. Finally you get them up, tell them that Jesus loves them, that they are on their way to Heaven. They hope so. Sometimes they think they are saved, sometimes they just don’t know. About that time the Holy Ghost flows a great wave of Jesus’ love in your heart, and you clutch the rope for dear life and say, “Come on; let’s believe God! The Lord loves you! Recognize what the Lord is doing for you. Know that you don’t have to be depressed!”
The Lord wants you to know and have full assurance of deliverance. Many Christians demonstrate by their speech and actions that they do not have that full assurance. They are weak in faith, doubting the promises of God while claiming to believe them. They act as though they are ready to give up in defeat. Living in depression is not victorious living.
Victorious living comes on “Hallelujah Avenue.” On that street you are not afraid of the devil; you trample him underfoot and go on your way. You don’t spend time talking to the devil nor do you waste time with people who talk like him. You are looking for the greatness in the Lord which thrills your soul and edifies you. Telling a lost soul about the Lord always blessed Jesus, and it will bless you, too. The wisdom, the knowledge and good will of God is offered you in order for you to know all the powers in the blood.
Victorious living is recognizing and using the authority that has been given to you from the Lord. Do you talk about all the power in the name of Jesus, sing about wonder-working power in the blood of the Lamb, but all too often act as though you don’t really believe He has that power for you? Sing the songs of the blood, the songs of Zion, knowing the power in the blood is for you to use.
Where art thou? God is going to have a victorious Bride in this final hour, each member of the bridal company clothed in the righteousness and holiness of God. Yield to the Holy Spirit so He can flow that which is in the blood to you. All the greatness of the Lord is in the blood. Don’t look to the world for victorious living; it comes only through the blood. Only through the blood will you find it, saith the Lord; only through the victorious, divine blood of Jesus will you find victorious living.
Authority to Live Victoriously
Are you in depression, oppression, doubting the Lord? Are you afraid, frustrated? If so, why not say, “Lord, I’m in the briar patch; come get me!”? When the thorns and thistles of life torment you, you are not living victoriously. God has given you the authority to live the victorious blood life, to use the divine blood of Jesus and all the greatness in it anytime night and day. You have the authority to use the blood to bring peace and joy to yourself, rest for soul, mind and body. You have the authority to speak in the name of Jesus and even devils have to move.
When you are covered with the blood, why would you be afraid someone will put a curse on you? If you are under the blood, no one can do that. The blood conquers all curses. You need fear nothing the devil tries to do; he cannot defeat God. The greatness of the blood takes away fear of your enemies. If they don’t treat God right they will be destroyed. Pity them; pray for them. Use the love that Jesus brought. He loved all people. Use the blood to destroy fear. For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind (II Timothy 1:7). To be bound with a spirit of fear is not victorious living. Fear can hit for a moment, but don’t let it stay with you. You have the faith-blood that destroys fear, the peace-blood to use. Stop and think: As you yield to the Holy Spirit, the mind of Christ goes into operation for you. You have been ordained to use His mind. Take on the mind of Christ to calm the storms. You have that divinity within to say “Peace be still! Peace be still!”
And Jesus said unto them…If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you (Matthew 17:20). So many mountains in life grow because people don’t use faith. Rather than moving them out of the way, they try to go around or try to shovel through, calling that victorious living. All too many children of God don’t know what victorious living is. But now in this final hour, it’s a must, saith the Lord, for His true children to come into victorious living.
If you don’t talk victory, you will not have victory. If you don’t think victory in your heart, you will not have it. If you don’t use victory, you use defeat. Victory has to be used; it’s yours. To think that you have victory and fail to use it, to become defeated and helpless in the hands of the enemy is pitiful indeed. Your help of all help is the power of God that lives inside the soul of each true child of God. Looking to a human being for a crutch instead of looking for deliverance from the power in the blood, you become a cripple. Jesus didn’t come to be a crutch; He came to be life, strength and health for soul, mind and body.
Have you used people for crutches when you could have drawn the strength you needed from the Lord? If Christians would use what they have in their souls, they wouldn’t be hobbling, trying to lean on people instead of leaning on Jesus.
It’s time to be a cup Christian; the cup fits into the saucer. The purpose of the saucer is to catch the overflow from the cup. Some people are saucers, never getting blessed unless the cup Christian runs over. When the saucer Christian can’t find a cup running over, he is left out in the cold. Be the cup that runs over and not the saucer waiting for a blessing; be blessed all the time, not blessed one moment and cursed the next. The Lord is calling: Where art thou? Are you in the blessing chair or the chair that’s cursed, judging others? Are you using God’s love or the enemy’s hate?
Paul said, I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content (Philippians 4:11). How did Paul learn such peace of mind? Through what was in the blood. This is the most discontented age with the most discontented people that has ever been on planet Earth. The Bible says that at the time of the end: many shall run to and fro (Daniel 12:4). People are restless, dissatisfied; nothing contents them. The Lord calls, “Where art thou?” and they run away as fast as they can run. They don’t take time with the Lord; they can’t stand to be alone. Never realizing the peace of being shut away with Jesus, they are miserable, robbed by the devil, lonely, living anything but the victorious life.
If you ever are going to live the victorious life, now is the time. All the benefits that Jesus brought are for you today. There is no other foundation, no other way, no other life but the life of Jesus for you. Do you have the lasting foundation? If you have Jesus you do. Do you have eternal life, eternal love, joy and peace? Yes, if you have Jesus. Why not use what is yours through the blood? Are you such a weakling you won’t use the blood, won’t even give over to the Holy Spirit so He can use the blood on the inside of you?
In this final hour, you must be strong. What if you were arrested for serving God and put into a cell alone? What would you do? You would need the security of knowing that Jesus was there with you. The reality of Him makes you strong.
The Early Church members depended on the Holy Ghost. Stephen, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God (Acts 7:55). Had Stephen not been a partaker of the divine nature of Jesus, he could not have been full of the Holy Ghost. You first must partake of Jesus’ divine nature before you can be baptized in the Holy Ghost. Jesus has not changed. The works He did when He walked the earth, He is still doing today through His obedient children. Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to-day, and for ever (Hebrews 13:8).
In victorious living you have the traits, the characteristics of Jesus. Living the new and living way, living the unusual separated life, you can be like Jesus. Titus 2:14 calls the children of God a peculiar people, zealous of good works. Peculiar: exclusive, special, unique, belonging to only one. Why would you be depressed when you know you belong just to Jesus? You are special to the Lord, exclusive, unique.
With the Lord you are offered great joy, great peace in times of trouble as well as in good times. Your peace and joy are not based on what you are going through but on what you have on the inside. If you are a partaker of the Lord’s divinity, if you have the divine blood inside, then you have all the eternal peace, happiness, joy, love, satisfaction, assurance that you need for victorious living. There is no defeat in Jesus Christ.
The love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us (Romans 5:5). Memorize this scripture. Through the Holy Ghost, the love of God is shed abroad in your heart, the peace of God, everything that makes up the glorious life. This love and all it contains comes into your heart through the divinity of the blood.
Being separated from all sin is the only way to be happy, the only way to stay happy. As long as you are not disobedient to God, as long as you are separated into the blood, you have the life and victories of Jesus flowing in you. In the blood are all the victories of Jesus. He promised to make His people overcomers.
Are you a Jesus overcomer? Do you talk like an overcomer? Do you look like an overcomer? Do you spend most of your time just pretending to be an overcomer, pretending to be happy? Some people try to talk themselves into being happy. If you are living victoriously, you will be bubbling when you come into church. When you live victoriously you don’t have time to stay discouraged and depressed. Discouragement is left behind in a hurry.
The times you are knocked down to your knees are the times to pray. Lord your humility is flowing from my soul through your blood into all of me. Lord, you humbled yourself even to the death of the Cross. That humility, Lord, will help me to be humble so you can take me right out of the valley when you get ready.
You don’t need to live in depression. I’ve seen some Christians who didn’t look any happier after they found Jesus than they did before. When you’ve been born new, enjoy that life. 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).
You either are living victoriously or you aren’t. You either have joy and happiness in the Holy Ghost or you don’t. You are either walking the most terrible road, the road of death or you are on the victorious road of life. Were you happier in sin than you are in the Lord? The devil deadened your senses when you were in sin, making you think you were happy. The bright lights looked wonderful to you. But when the lights went out and you were in the dark, fear took over. Like the drunk coming home sick who vows to never drink again but the next day does the same thing over, many go back to the old life. The devil possesses people, causes them to torture, injure and destroy themselves.
If you don’t get rid of clamor, grudges and bitterness, you become bitter, sad, depressed, angry. You must have a forgiving spirit. The Bible teaches to forgive your enemies, but how can you forgive them when you can’t even forgive your friends? Let the blood work so the Holy Ghost can flow forgiveness in your heart. Hear the Lord saying, “Vengeance is mine. I’ll take care of that.” Thank you Lord, for taking over. Watch Jesus at work for you. Instead of fretting over your enemies working against you, look how Jesus is working for you—that’s what the blood will do for you. In the wisdom and glory of the Lord, you have freedom and liberty—Heaven’s liberty and freedom.
The life of the blood penetrates all darkness, shows all the greatness God has for you. When you fail to let that light penetrate the darkness, you are not happy, not living victoriously. Let the blood light penetrate the darkness for you, showing the right road, and Heaven will be yours one day. You know you are in the truth, in the light of Jesus. Walking in the light, you are not scrambling, trying to find your way, going by feelings instead of faith. You are in Jesus, not in the night; you have fellowship with Him, and you know the mind of the Lord. The light in the blood lights all the roads, all the paths of a blood-washed saint of God, and brings victorious living.
Paul lived victoriously; he was ready to be offered. When the brethren warned him about going to Jerusalem, pleaded with him not to go, he said, What mean ye to weep and to break mine heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus (Acts 21:13). Paul had understanding of divine blood. The Lord made it clear to him, gave him beautiful revelations of the blood.
The blood will open all the necessary channels for you, keep them clean and clear so the Lord can flow to you everything needed. The Lord never sleeps; He is on duty at all times, ready to serve you victorious living. Leaning on His everlasting arm, you are not complaining, grumbling or doubting Him—that would not be victorious living. When you actually lean on God’s everlasting arm, a deep, deep peace is within your heart, a deep, deep joy, love, courage and strength. What comes against the things of God are on the outside of you, not the inside. Troubles may affect you momentarily, but they cannot worry you day after day, week after week. The greatness in the blood wards it all off. Depression can’t linger. Of course, you will have discouraging moments, but they will be moments, not years. Some people live in the pits of discouragement. They are not using that which is in the blood. Have you ever seen a discouraged person do much for the Lord?
In victorious living, you do your best. The opinions of others do not distract you from yielding to God completely. Some may think you are foolish to be so happy when everything seems to be going against you, that your mind is weak. If so, they don’t know Jesus; they don’t see His way. They are living in the night and you are living in the light. In your mind you see the gate of Glory and know you’ll go sweeping through that gate one day. Sinning no more, you have the smile, the favor, power and victory of God. I-Am has come down to live and dwell with you and in you. Jesus is saying, I am the same yesterday, today and forever. Those I-am’s echo and re-echo; they’re always in your heart, never fading. I am your Savior. I am your Redeemer. I am your deliverer. I am your faith. I am your strength. I am your health. I am your healer. I am your miracle worker. I am, I am, I am, and I am coming soon! Praise the name of the Lord! It’s victory, such great victory in God. Ponder all the Lord’s wonderful, divine love and care, all that He has done for you.
Even the Earth Will Be Redeemed
Man sold out to the devil, was robbed, but Jesus came to seek and to save that which was lost (Luke 19:10). Jesus bought back everything that was lost; He even made it possible for the land to be redeemed one day from the curse that rests upon it. The greatness of divine blood is throughout the blood-book of Revelation. Through the blood, the plagues will rain from the skies; through the blood, destruction will fall on the ungodly. Jesus is the one who rains down judgment upon the earth. He is the one who will come to fight the Battle of Armageddon and to conquer all. Through the blood, Satan’s destiny is written, as well as the destinies of the Antichrist and the Antispirit. It’s all through the blood. When you realize that Revelation is a blood book, you want to read it again and again.
In Revelation we find John caught up into Heaven in a vision. He records what he sees: And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals (Revelation 5:1). This seven-sealed book holds the promise of redemption for the earth and the destruction of evil. Not until those seals are broken can the earth’s redemption take place. John the Revelator knew the significance of the little book with seven seals. And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon. And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon (verses 2-4). Tears in Heaven flowed because it looked as though the earth would not be redeemed, would never be free. And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain (verses 5,6). The Lamb that was slain is Jesus. And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne. And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints. And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing (verses 7-10,12). The Lamb of God is glorified in Heaven because of the blood. He is the Redeemer for mankind as well as for the earth. To really know Jesus is to know victorious living. How wonderful to know the Lamb of God!
The Bottomless Pit and the Lake of Fire: Satan’s Destiny
In the nineteenth chapter of Revelation we see more of the blood power, the greatness of the blood that destroys all evil, all the powers of darkness. John writes, And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS (Revelation 19:11-16). And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season (Revelation 20:1-3). What seal was so powerful that it could make Satan helpless? The seal of the blood of Jesus, a seal the devil can’t break, the same seal that protects the soul of each born-again Christian. The blood will keep Satan in the bottomless pit. The chain? It’s a chain of the same blood that makes us overcomers.
And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever (Revelation 20:7-10). The Bible makes it clear that there is fire in hell, torment. This is the same lake of fire that unsaved human beings will be cast into, tormented day and night forever. Jesus is coming as King of kings and Lord of lords to finish the Battle of Armageddon. It will look as though Satan is winning; but suddenly Jesus appears, His vesture dipped in the blood that will defeat the devil.
The divine blood of Jesus is your power over Lucifer, the power that delivered you from the devil and the power to keep you delivered from the devil. The blood is the power that separated you from the world, the power that will keep you separated and put you on your journey to Heaven. The blood is the power that has given you love, love, love for lost and sinful humanity, love to do anything the Lord wants you to do. The blood is the victory for you, victorious living.
Yea, saith the Spirit of the Lord: I am in your midst, and no power can defeat you. No power can overcome you when you live in my blood and use my blood. My blood was given for you. My blood was not given for Heaven; my blood was given for you. And you can use my blood. I give my blood to all that will accept my blood. I have invited all inhabitants of the earth to come—whosoever will—and receive my divine blood and be partakers of my divinity. Those that have accepted, I have made them victorious and I have given them life, life, life. I have given them peace, peace; and I have given them joy, joy.
No power can defeat my blood. No power can defeat my people who stay in my blood and use my blood. My people who use my blood, they are victorious all the time. The devil knows that they are victorious through my blood, and the devil fears my blood, fears my blood. He knows that my blood is his destruction. He knows that my blood is the power that will defeat him and his angels and cast them into eternal night for all eternity.
Fear not; fear not if you have my blood. But if you do not have my blood, fear should be yours day and night. But if you have my blood, know what is in my blood.
I am seeking to teach my people in this final hour all that’s in my blood, all that I have made available to them. I paid a great price to deliver divine blood to humanity. I rejoice when it’s used, but it grieves my Spirit when it’s not used. So many of my people have been defeated so many times because they didn’t use that which is in my blood and they didn’t yield to my Holy Spirit so the Holy Spirit could use my greatness that’s in the blood to give them victory and help and peace and greatness, my greatness. Trust in my blood and use that which is in my blood, and victory daily will be yours, saith the Lord.
Reach for the Salvation and Healing in the Blood
Thank God for the blood! It means victorious living, victorious joy and happiness in this life, and victorious joy and happiness for all eternity. We are not defeated; the blood of Jesus knows no defeat. Trust in Him with all your heart daily; lean to the understanding in the blood, and victory and greatness will be yours.
Victorious, divine blood brings victorious living. It’s whosoever will, let him come. Come without money, come without price and buy. Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness (Isaiah 55:1,2). Hear the truth crying, “Come and buy without money that which makes victorious living. Jesus freely gave His blood to make victorious living free—it’s all in the blood!”
Oh Sinner, Backslider, God is asking, “Where art thou?” He is seeking you, but this could be His last call to you, the last time He may be saying, “Come home, precious one, before night overtakes you, eternal night. Come home before it’s too late. I died for you; come and live for me and with me. No matter what you have done, there is power in my blood to wash away every sin.”
If you don’t have the blood of Jesus in your heart, let me pray with you now: Oh, God, save my soul! I do believe in the blood of Jesus! I’m so sorry that I sinned against you, but I have come home. I’m going to serve you, Lord, the rest of my life. And I believe the blood of Jesus washes away all of my sins, all of my sins! Come on into my heart Jesus! Come on in!
If you meant that prayer, He has come. If you meant it, His blood is flowing in that soul of yours; it has washed away every sin stain. Walk with Him. Serve Him. Live in His Word, pray and fast, and one day Heaven will be yours.
You who are sick and afflicted: With His blood stripes, you can have healing. I am not a healer; I am a believer. The prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up (James 5:15). If your child is afflicted—perhaps disabled and has never walked—know that many children have been healed who once were in that condition, made well through the power of Jesus. As a point of contact, lay your hand on that little one who needs healing. Jesus is the healer; it’s through His blood we have deliverance; through His blood I bring this message of deliverance to you. If you need healing for your heart, your head, any part of you, Jesus sends that healing from On High.
Lord, I bring the sick and afflicted to you. I know there is power in the blood of Jesus to heal each and every one. From your gift of miracles and your gifts of healing it comes in the name of your Son Jesus: Heal! Heal! in the name of the Lord. Heal! in the holy, all-powerful name and blood of Jesus.
With his stripes we are healed (Isaiah 53:5); with His blood stripes healing comes. Hide that promise of healing in your heart and decide you will get well. Notice every change of improvement daily. May the blessings of God rest upon you, and may each one of you abide in the blood of Jesus and use all the benefits of the blood for victorious living right here in this present world.
Thus saith the Lord: I have given you the mystery of my blood. I have given you the greatness of my blood. I have given you this mystery for this final hour so that you will be strong, so that you will be faithful in all things, so that you will love like you should love, so that you will have no disobedience, so that you will have no indifference, so that you will have no lukewarmness, so that you will not have anything that’s unlike me, so that you can walk and live and dwell in my presence at all times, so that you will not wallow in despair any longer, and in frustration, so that the enemy cannot trouble you in your mind and rob you of what I am saying to you and rob you of the directions that I am giving to you. I told you to put on the whole armor of God. I told you to stand. And I’m warning you again and again, the hour’s approaching that you will understand more of what I am saying to you now, saith the Lord. And you’re going to have to have my whole armor to be able to stand. And you’re going to have to trust in me. You’re going to have to put your whole trust in me and use my Word. And use all that I have revealed to you that’s in the blood. And you will be victorious, and you will not be weak, and you will not have misgivings, and you will not doubt your salvation, and you will not doubt your baptism in the Spirit. You will not doubt my soon coming. You will believe; you will believe all that I have said and all that I am saying. You will not doubt; you will not doubt my prophecies. They will have my light in them and you will accept my light. You will no longer go into valleys of despair that I cannot talk to you and deal with you as in the past. You must yield to my Spirit. And I am calling to you to live the life that I brought for you and paid for that life that you could have it. Now use it. But you’ll not use that victorious life unless you use my victorious blood daily, saith the Lord.
