This message reveals a powerful truth about the way the Holy Spirit works in the life of a follower of Jesus is that Holy Spirit asks us poignant questions to reveal and locate the state of our heart in terms of our faith. As seen in Mark.9:23 and John.6:5 & 6, these questions from Jesus were not for His knowledge, but for the spiritual awareness of His disciples, to help them discern where they truly stood in terms of there faith and what they were truly believing for.

From this foundation of truth, the Holy Spirit brings forth a defining question before us today saying which voice will you choose to hear and respond to? On one side is the voice of sin’s guilt, identified in Revelation.12:10b, which continually accuses, condemns, and attempts to convince you that you are unworthy, disqualified, and cut off from the Lord’s best. This voice seeks to draw you into a position of shame, limitation, and separation from the provision of the Lord.

On the other side is the voice of the blood of Jesus, described in Hebrews.12:24 as speaking for us the better things which accompany our deliverance. This voice declares redemption, forgiveness, acceptance, and restoration. It is the voice that proclaims your freedom and re-establishes your right standing with the Lord being seated in heavenly places in the highest place of authority next to Jesus.

The Holy Spirit calls you to intentionally choose the voice of the blood of Jesus, by allowing it to dominate your heart and thinking. As affirmed in 1 Peter.1:18 & 19, the blood of Jesus has redeemed you with an incorruptible price, by eternally securing your salvation and access to all of the Lord’s promises.

The reality being that when this truth takes root in you, it positions you to walk in the fullness of what the Lord has already provided, as declared in 2 Peter.1:3 & 4 which is everything that pertains to your life and godliness. This stands in direct contrast to the shame and disgrace that guilt tries to impose on you through accusation, which the Lord has already removed, as promised in Isaiah.25:8.

This message emphasises the fact that as you allow the voice of the blood of Jesus to speak for you louder than every accusation, it will completely obliterate shame and disgrace by restoring your confidence before the Lord. In that place of triumph the blood of Jesus has positioned you, you begin to experience the outworking of the Lord’s plan in your life which is hallmarked with joy unspeakable, victory and triumph, with the manifestation of miracles, signs, and wonders that glorify Jesus on earth.

Ultimately, this is an invitation from the Holy Spirit to live your life from the finished work of Christ, by allowing His sacrifice to define your identity, your expectation, and your daily experience as recorded in 2 Corinthians.5:17-21.

Today, in the name of Jesus you choose the voice of the blood of Jesus over every other voice of accusation, guilt, and condemnation. I declare that every lie which has spoken against your identity and destiny is silenced, and the truth of your redemption rises strong within you heart. The blood of Jesus speaks life, freedom, victory and triumph over you, and it obliterates every trace of shame and disgrace from your life.

I declare that as you walk in this reality of who you are in Christ Jesus and understand the weight of the authority delegated to you by Jesus , you will experience the fullness of the Lord’s provision, and your life will overflow with testimonies of miracles, signs, and wonders that glorify Jesus. I decree that you are established in righteousness, and you are empowered by grace, by being positioned for triumph in every circumstance in your life Jesus’ Name. Amen.
