The BLOOD

Power in the believer

After Peter and John preached the gospel to the 5000 men, healing people, they asked: “By what power, or by what name, have ye done this?” Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost made it very clear, “…that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead…” (Acts 4) The disciples didn’t leave it all up to Jesus to do all the work of casting out demons, healing the sick, speaking in tongues etc… They cast them out, they healed and spake in tongues as believers, in the name of Jesus Christ, THE Jesus Christ who died and rose again for ALL our sins. The Gospel of salvation goes hand in hand with all works of power and authority over the enemy of the body of Christ



"Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:"
(1 Corinthians 15:1-4)

Find Certainty & Confidence !

As believers, together, IN HIS NAME, we WILL do these things. We have the power of the Holy Spirit, by the Blood of Jesus Christ over us, to conquer the enemy. It is the POWER of God to them that believe. If your bible has created doubt or omitted these scriptures, it is NOT God’s Word. This is why God’s people are suffering and are powerless, huddled around the cross instead of carrying the cross to all nations.



"And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, {20} Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, {21} Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: {22} And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, {23} Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all." Now let's take a look at the armour of God and all that goes with it:


"Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. {11} Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. {12} For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. {13} Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. {14} Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; {15} And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; {16} Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. {17} And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: {18} Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; {19} And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel, {20} For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak."
(Ephesians 6:10-20)

The most important thing about the armour of God, is the shield of faith. Most Christians today are victim to the fiery darts of the wicked as their faith suffers from the corruptions of God’s Words. You have heard the phrase, “faith can move mountains”, yet if your bible does not instruct you how to build that faith, it is NOT God’s Word and we suffer from unbelief… weak faith. The disciples even suffered weak faith when they could not heal a child

"And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, 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. (Omitted from most modern bibles) -> Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting."
(Matthew 17:20-21)

Prayer and fasting. Our faith is made MUCH STRONGER through prayer AND FASTING. The wicked convince us that we’re not worthy to carry the gifts of the Holy Spirit. They corrupt God’s Word & convince you that those days ceased for the past 2000 years. Let’s take a look at the rest of that armour: “Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth” Don’t settle for the lie that God did not preserve His Words. Find the truth.

"Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth."
(John 17:17)

"Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it."
(Psalms 119:140)

Satan has corrupted God’s Words over and over again, robbing us of His truth, and we wander why the body of Christ is in such disarray… Now don’t let the devil convince you that you’re unworthy, or not good enough... We have been made righteous.

"For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous." --- “...and having on the breastplate of righteousness”
(Romans 5:19) --- (Eph 6:14)

God’s word doesn’t say we still need to become righteous as believers, WE ALREADY ARE RIGHTEOUS! “And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;” We are to take the gospel into the world, armed to the teeth, as warriors! “And take the helmet of salvation” We can have confidence by the knowledge that we are saved. “and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:” What is absolutely amazing about the sword of the Spirit, the word of God, is that I see believers, with the Holy Spirit, preaching the word of God in their deliverance ministries, regardless of their corrupt bibles that omit the very scripture they teach! Imagine if believers came to know the truths in the Word of God in their lives… having the knowledge that nothing is impossible UNTO US?? Galatians summarizes this last part so nicely:

"If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit."
(Galatians 5:25)

Back to the armour:

“Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel, For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak."
(Ephesians 6:18-20)

Pray in the spirit, for ourselves and for other believers,

"For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit IN THE SPIRIT he speaketh mysteries."
(1 Corinthians 14:2)

Pray for utterance & preach the Gospel boldly, fasting that your faith may move mountains.
