This revelation focuses on the immeasurable provision contained in the blood of Jesus and the truths the Holy Spirit has taught me concerning what Christ’s sacrifice has purchased for every follower of His. The central emphasis is that everything the blood of Jesus accomplished for us was completed entirely by Christ and is therefore not dependent upon our human effort, merit, or future performance to benefit from it.
The Holy Spirit begins by affirming that the benefits secured through the blood of Jesus have absolutely no foundation in what we as Jesus’s followers have done, are doing, or ever will do. Jesus shed His blood deliberately on seven occasions to redeem humanity, and nothing man does can invalidate or diminish the finished work of His sacrifice.
This message points first to John 1, where John the Baptist declared these words: “Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.” This declaration reveals that Jesus Himself removed the sin of the world through His sacrificial work. This action was not because mankind attained righteousness through obedience to any laws of God or religious effort, but because Christ became the atoning sacrifice for our sins.
Jesus on purpose took humanity’s sin upon Himself and, in exchange, gave us His followers His righteousness so we could live effectively for God. The Father now sees we who belong to Christ through the righteousness of Jesus rather than through the record of our failures. Although this truth can be difficult for the human mind to accept because of our consciousness of the punishment for sin, our true freedom comes only by us believing and embracing the fact that Jesus took away our sins.
The Holy Spirit then highlighted the prophesy of Luke 1:71, 74–75, which shows clearly that Jesus came to deliver His people from their enemies and from the power of those who hate them so that they might serve the Lord without fear, in holiness and righteousness throughout their lives. This demonstrates that Christ’s shed blood accomplished everything necessary to reconcile us to the Father thus making us capable of serving Him.
This unfolding message further reinforced this truth through Romans 5, which teaches that while we were still sinners Christ died for us. His sacrifice was not the reward for human holiness but the demonstration of the Lord’s grace toward undeserving humanity. Because of this, we as followers of Jesus must reject every lie suggesting that our personal goodness, religious performance, or law-keeping establishes righteousness for us before the Lord.
The Holy Spirit warns that our understanding fully the basis of righteousness is essential for our spiritual victory. This is because satan continually accuses us as followers of Jesus, by seeking to convince us that our acceptance before the Lord depends upon our own performance in obedience to laws we assume make us righteous. If as followers of Jesus we rely upon our good works or obedience to the law as the foundation of our righteousness, we will remain vulnerable to accusation and defeat.
Only the sacrifice through the blood of Jesus removed sin and established true righteousness before the Father for all mankind. To believe that personal achievement can atone for our sin is both pride and presumption, and such thinking inevitably results in spiritual defeat. To further illustrate this process of embracing truth, I will share a personal testimony regarding the Sabbath. The Holy Spirit instructed me as head of the family to declare, in accordance with Isaiah.58, that “the Sabbath is our delight.”
Initially, the children found it difficult to delight in spending extended, secluded time with the Lord, preferring to opt for worship music, even sermons, or other activities instead of just meditating on the Lord alone. However, the Holy Spirit instructed me for us to continue confessing that the Sabbath was our delight until the truth of it being our delight became their genuine experience.
Over the course of a year, their hearts were transformed until communion with the Lord truly became their greatest delight. This testimony demonstrates that as followers of Jesus we must continue declaring and embracing the Lord’s truth until it becomes firmly established as the foundation of their lives in our hearts. Likewise, as followers of Jesus we must continue meditating upon the truths of the blood of Jesus until they become the bedrock of our confidence in what Jesus accomplished for us.
Once firmly established in these realities in our hearts, the enemy can no longer defeat us through accusation because our trust rests entirely upon Christ’s finished work rather than our own performance.
The Holy Spirit then spoke of summarising the seven major provisions secured through the blood of Jesus for easy meditation which are listed below:
- The blood of Jesus redeems us as Jesus’s followers from Satan’s dominion and power.
- The blood continually cleanses us from all sin.
- The blood makes us righteous and justifies us before the Father, giving us unwavering confidence in His presence.
- The blood makes us holy, blameless, and irreproachable before the Presence of the Lord, by separating us from sin and setting us apart for His service.
- Through partaking of the body and blood of Jesus, we partake of Christ’s life that is His very essence, being, character, nature, and covenant reality.
- The blood continually intercedes for us before the Father, pleading on behalf of our lives that the Lord’s purposes for our lives will be fulfilled while supplying us the strength to persevere to victory.
- The blood grants us divine access into the Holy of Holies, the very presence of God thus enabling us to share in His authority and fellowship.
The Holy Spirit emphasised the fact that every one of these blessings has already been fully provided through the sevenfold shedding of Christ’s blood. However, we as Jesus’s followers must intentionally appropriate these provisions into our daily life through confession. While the benefits have been purchased completely by Jesus, they are experienced as we actively receive, believe, meditate upon, confess, and apply them by faith into our lives.
The word concludes with an encouragement from the Holy Spirit to us the followers of Jesus to welcome these truths deeply into your hearts, thus allowing the grace accompanying them to produce complete triumph in every area of life. As you intentionally rely upon the power of the blood of Jesus, you will discover increasing events of triumph over every work of the enemy. Remember that the Holy Spirit continually honours the blood of Jesus and delights to manifest its power in the lives of those who confidently rest in its finished work.
I declare in the mighty name of Jesus that the revelation of the power in the blood of Jesus Christ shall become the unshakable foundation of your faith. Every accusation, condemnation, lie, and strategy of the enemy against your conscience is silenced by the finished work of the cross. You will no longer rely upon your own human performance but upon the perfect righteousness that Jesus purchased through His blood for you.
I declare that the continual cleansing, redemption, justification, holiness, intercession, strength, and access secured through the blood of Jesus are becoming living realities in your daily walk. As you intentionally appropriate these covenant blessings in your life, you shall overcome every scheme of the enemy, as you walk in unwavering confidence before the Lord, and enjoy intimate fellowship in His presence.
May the Holy Spirit continually reveal the full power of the blood of Jesus in your experience until it becomes the bedrock of your trust, the total source of your victory and triumph in all things, and the testimony of your life in Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.
