All the joy, peace, love, humilityall the characteristics of

Jesusyou will find in His blood for you. His blood was given to

you to use. It brings the salvation and healing that Jesus paid for

in the two-fold atonement: He was woun ded for our

transgressions, he w as bru ised for ou r iniquities: the

chastisemen t of our peace w as upon him; and w ith his

stripes we are healed (Isaiah 53:5). Jesus paid for it all.

Bu t if we w alk in the light, as he is in the light the blood

of Jesus Christ his Son clean seth u s from all sin (I John

1:7). Every word in the English language ending with "eth" means

to continue. The blood of Jesus continues its cleansing power in

your life daily when you have accepted Him into your heart. This scripture does not mean that

once you receive salvation you will always have the blood to cleanse you no matter what you do. It

means that when you are cleansed, free from all sin, that you never will be bound again unless you

commit willful sin. You must willfully sin in order to lose your salvation. What is willful sin?

Knowing a thing to be sin in the eyes of God and committing it anyway. The Holy Spirit seals the

soul with the blood of Jesus, and only the individual can break that seal.

The Holy Ghost was given to help us use the powers in the blood. Jesus, our example, was baptizedin the Holy Ghost; John verified it. Jesus as the Son of God did not need that baptism, but He

knew how necessary it would be for us to have it, and He plainly showed us the path to take. He is

our example.

Jesus became our elder brother, related to the human race to bring about the great plan of

redemption for all. Accept the blood and keep it working in your life as long as you live, for there is

no life eternal in Heaven for you if you die outside the blood. The life is in the blood, eternal life,

eternal joy, happiness, hope. All the wonderful eternal benefits God has for you are in the blood.

There is no lack of the supply of the Jesus blood; it is divine blood. Like God Himself and the Holy

Spirit, the blood of Jesus lives and will never, never die. That's the reason the blood is so

important.

The blood spilled on Calvary didn't run into the ground; the Lord took all of it with Him, walked

down the avenue of Glory and offered that blood on the altar of God. The blood of Jesus is not

limited; there is blood for all and plenty left over. The limit comes when people don't use the

blood. Many church members in America do not use the blood, and they will never get into

Heaven. Church membership outside the blood is nothing but death. Water baptism without

repentance is the seal of death; it's outside the blood. Until you are under the blood, there is no

need to be baptized in water. Only when your life goes under the blood are you cleansed through

the blood of Jesus.

The blood, like God's love, is eternal. Like God's faith, there is no lack in the blood. It is an

impossibility for Heaven to run out of the love, faith, joy, peace, compassion, patience we need in

the blood. Thank God for the blood that stained the old rugged cross and seals our hearts!

When you come to Jesus, the blood must be your most treasured possession. You will not have

Jesus, not enjoy His deliverance, not glory in His benefits without the blood. Jesus gave His blood

for you; it is yours. He didn't give it for you to wash in and not keep. The blood works within every

blood-washed soul.

You cannot use that which you do not have. If you do not have the blood, you do not have Jesus or

the promises of God. You cannot use the promises of God without the blood; without the blood,

they will not work.

The life is in the blood. Without the life of the blood in your heart, the Holy Spirit cannot come into possess you. You must be blood-washed before the Holy Spirit can baptize you. You could never

get your soul clean enough for the Holy Ghost to move into without the blood. The blood is the

only thing that will cleanse you from all sin.

Learn the following steps in using the benefits of the blood in your life:

First: one must receive divine blood which comes through repentance, confessing your sins with

godly sorrow, accepting the new life through the blood. New life is given through the blood. If

anyone is in Christ, he or she is a brand new creation. Jesus told Nicodemus:Verily, verily, I say

un to thee, Except a man b e born again, he canno t see the kingdom of God (John 3:3).

Second: the Holy Spirit will apply the bloodseal your soul with it. You don't need to be afraid

that the devil will get into your soul to steal your salvation. As long as it is your will to live for God,

that seal can only be broken by you, by your sinning against God. And grieve not the holy

Spirit of God, where by ye are sealed unto the d ay of redem ption (Ephesians 4:30). To

commit sin is to grieve the Holy Spirit, to break the seal of salvation. Any kind of sin grieves the

Holy Spirit. Third: Know what is in the blood, know the powerspluralthat are in the blood.

Through the blood of Jesus, His powers are your possession.

Fourth: Have full assurance that you are made holy through the blood. You must become holy like

God Himselfbec au se it is wr itten, Be ye holy; for I am ho ly(I Peter 1:16). The choice is

yours: Holiness or hell; righteousness or unrighteousness. Spiritual death occurs when sin enters

the soul, for then the divine saving blood of Jesus withdraws. The soul is no longer protected; sin

takes over and the person is damned. The blood of Jesus cannot be contaminated by sin. If you

commit willful sin, if you accept or bring contamination into your spirit, the blood of Jesus is no

longer there; you have rendered it helpless to work for you. Only through your spirit, your

willingness, your staying free from sin as you yield to the Holy Spirit can you keep the divine blood

of Jesus flowing and His love and faith working.

Many tryand failin their own spirits to keep faith and love working. They don't know what it

means to yield. If you believe all that God has said about the blood, you believe that Christ was

born of the virgin Mary. Only sinless blood was brought from Heaven.

Fifth: As a holy person, you must decide that all the benefits in the blood are yours to use. Bless

the Lord, O m y soul, and forget n ot all his ben efits (Psalm 103:2). Know and ponder the

many, many benefits of the blood.

Sixth: Recognize the authority you have to use the blood, authority from on High. Just as the blood

must be all living reality to you, the authority to use the blood must become living reality to you,

also. Only the Holy Spirit can make the blood living reality to you. The Holy Spirit knows all about

the blood. As you yield to Him, He will use the blood through you. The Holy Spirit applies the

blood to your soul when you receive salvation, He cleanseth you with the blood. As long as you

commit no willful sin, the blood continues to work; you are a holy vessel, kept in the holiness and

purity of God, just as clean as Jesus was when He walked here on earth, just as holy. You have the

same love, the same faithnot another faith, not another love. The nine fruits of the Spirit are all

yours. The blood must be in your soul in order for the Holy Spirit to be able to produce those fruits

in your life. Those fruits don't come daily from Heaven to you; they are produced in your own

soul, in your own lifethe fruits of the Spirit. To have those fruits produced in you, you must yield

to the blood through the Holy Spirit. Let the soul be readied through the blood.

Many are deceived about salvation. Pouting, raging, fussing, they still claim to be sealed with the

blood. They are deceived. When the blood comes into your heart and washes away all your sins, it

makes you a new creation in Christ Jesus and you stop all the fussing. Indulging in the things the

Lord said Thou shalt not do, you loseor else never hadyour salvation. Galatians five lists the

seventeen works of the flesh:Adultery, fornication, u ncleann ess, lasciviousness, Idolatry,witchcraft, hatred, variance, emu lations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envying,

mu rders, drun kenn ess, revellings, and su ch like: of the which I tell you b efore, as I

have also told you in time past, that they which do su ch things shall not inherit the

kingdom of God (Galatians 5:19-21). If any of those works are being produced in your spirit, in

your life, the blood is not there; you have no part in the kingdom of God.

The Word of God says you must live holy; there is no other way to live holy other than through the

holy blood that Christ brought from Heaven. For over thirty years Christ kept that holy blood here

on earth, and then He carried it back to Heaven, offered it on the altar of God for the redemption of

all who would yield to it. Day and night that holy blood has been working since that time for every

man, woman and child. When a sinner cries out for God, really means it, he receives the blood

from the altar of God, blood that was spilled on Calvary.

Not one drop of the blood of Jesus has ever been wasted, not one drop can the devil destroy. Use

the blood to defeat the devil and all demons. Why be afraid the devil will overtake you? Come out

of that bed each morning ready to bulldoze him under; you have the blood of Jesus to do it, and He

wants you to use it. The devil loses his power, his strength when you use the blood.

In this final hour, use the blood against all the battles of the mind coming against you. Casting

down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the know ledge of

God, and b ringing into captivity every thou ght to the obe dience of Christ (II Corinthians

10:5). Philippians 4:8 tells you six things to think upon:W hatsoever things are true,

whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are

pu re, wh atsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be

any virtue, and if there b e any praise, think on these things. These six things the HolySpirit will help you think upon as you yield to Him.

As you yield to the Holy Spirit, He will help you use the blood to drive back the devil. Set a

boundary line against the devil. Use the blood and dare him to cross it. Let him know who and

what you are. Jesus never backed away from the devil, never ran from him, and we want to be just

like Jesus.

Use the blood to defeat all depression. Depression is of the devil, not God. Do you expect to be

depressed in Heaven? Of course not. Use the blood to be rid of it. In the blood is victory over all

oppression, depression, anxiety, all the works of the enemy.

The blooduse it and destroy all fear. There is no fear in love; bu t perfect love casteth out

fear (I John 4:18). Only God's love is perfect, and that love is in the blood of Jesus. The Holy

Spirit takes that love as you yield to Him and makes it alive in your heart. Don't pray for God to

take away your fear; use the weapons He has given you to drive out fear: love and faith. Let the

love and faith of God in the blood of Jesus work for you. In the divine blood of Jesus flows

everything mankind needs.

The disciples had problems learning how to use the blood, and people still have problems today.

But the Holy Spirit is working day and night to reveal to every born-again person who will listen

what is in the blood, what he or she possesses. If you don't know what you have, how can you use

it? It's time to stand up and be counted, time to accept the old-time power of God through the

blood of Jesus. It's time to know who you are, what you are and where you stand in the Lord.

Decide whether you have eternal life or not and whether God loves you.

In the blood of Jesus you find that His grace is sufficient for every need. Reach out for the

greatness of the Lord every day. Yield to the Holy Spirit; learn from the Word of God what are the


6 12/19/2010


5/16

benefits of His Children. What are your benefits? The list of benefits is so long, most people have

never identified them all, don't understand what is theirs. Often people go lacking because of not

knowing their benefits through the blood of Jesus. You need to know, and you can know.

In this last hour, the Bride will know; using the benefits in the blood, she will be a holy terror to the

devil. She will not run from the devil; the devil will run from her. Through the blood of Jesus, the

Bride will trample demons underfoot, deliver the devil possessed, set the captives free through the

blood of Jesus.

In the blood of Jesus is power over all diseases and afflictions. The blood stripes, remember,

deliver the people:W ith his stripes w e are healed (Isaiah 53:5). Had there been no shedding

of blood, we would have no divine healing. In the blood of Jesus is the miraculous power over all

diseases. Jesus w ent ab out all Galilee healing all manner of sickness and all mann er

of disease amon g the people (Matthew 4:23). When He walked the earth, Jesus had healing

power in the divine blood that flowed through Him, and that healing power is still working today to

get you well.

Think what a wonderful possession you have in salvation! Then think how many times the devil

has rubbed your nose in the sand when you had the power through the blood to conquer him. How

many tears have you shed unnecessarily? How many crosses have you carried that were not yours

but crosses of the devil's making? The devil will give you his cross anytime he can talk you into

carrying it. Check your load; see what you are carrying. Get rid of all junk.

There is power in the blood over all deformities, power to straighten every weak leg, to lengthen a

leg that is shorter than the other, power to put eyes into empty sockets. Power, power, wonder-

working power is in the blood. Even life for the dead is in the blood. When the divine blood-call

came: Lazarus, come forth! Lazarus walked out of the tomb. Life flowed into the dead body.

If the reality of the Bible is not in your heart, you don't have it. You can't carry the Word only

through mental assent and lip service and expect to see miraculous results. The Word of God must

be reality to your heart.

When you use the blood by claiming the promises of God, you know what a weapon you have. Use

the Word like a weapon, like Jesus used it, and you will walk, talk like Him.

Each member of the bridal company is stepping up to take his or her place, putting into action the

great vision of evangelizing the whole world. We must tell the world about the divine blood of

Jesus that sets the captives free, gives them love, peace, contentment and happiness. The blood of

Jesus is the passport to Heaven for everyone who wants it.

We also, since the day w e heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye

might be filled w ith the know ledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual

understanding (Colossians 1:10). The will of God comes through the blood; He speaks to you,

looks at you through the blood. All the wisdom, all the knowledge, all the understanding you need

is in the blood. You are partakers of divinity through the blood of Jesus and no other way. Jesus


6 12/19/2010


6/16

was very man, yet He was very God because of the blood. The God/man is the part that delivered

the human race; the earth/man could not do it.

Be filled with wisdom, knowledge and understanding of His will that ye might walk wo rthy of

the Lord u nto all pleasing (Colossians 1:10). To walk worthy of the Lord is to walk worthy of

the blood. Do you walk worthy of the blood of Jesus? If you are not free from all sin, you are not

walking worthy of the blood of Jesus. If you are unworthy it's because you are sinning against God.

Everyone who is blood washed is worthy to walk in all pleasing of God the Father, God the Son and

God the Holy Ghost.

Being fruitful in eve ry good work, and incre asing in the kn owledge of God (verse 10).

You will not increase in the knowledge of God unless the blood is used in your life all the time. If

it's not used, you won't have understanding of divinity, won't tap into divine knowledge. Many in

the Christian world are in darkness; they don't understand the Word of God because they have not

let the blood work.

Strengthen ed w ith all might, according to his glorious po wer, u nto all patience andlongsuffering with joyfulness (verse 11). Where does divine strength come from? The blood.

All the strength you need is in the blood. His glorious power comes to you through the blood. The

Holy Spirit helps you take His glorious power from the blood and use it. That is the reason you

must have the divine teacher, guiding you into all truth.

The truth is in the blood. Jesus said, I am the w ay, the truth, and the life: no man com eth

unto the Father, but by me (John 14:6). You have no truth of God today without the blood, no

truth to work for you, no truth to show you the paths of God. Living in a fog, many cannot find

their way; they can only find it through the blood. Education, worldly knowledge won't show you

the way to Heaven. You must find it through the knowledge of God. What does God want of you?

What paths has He laid out for your feet? Only through the blood will you find those paths; only

through the blood will you walk those paths. Only through the blood will you really want those

paths. If you haven't accepted the blood of Jesus, if it isn't flowing freely in your life night and day,

self not Jesus is on the throne of your heart. He is living reality to you only through the blood.

Why can't you be happy and free when you have the blood within, divinity? You are a partaker of

His divine blood, of His divine nature, when you have been born again, able to be longsuffering in

bringing in the harvest, able to be patient with people joyfully. Some "Christians" complain about

working for the Lord, yet they think they are all right with God. They are "all right" to be left whenthe Rapture takes place. They are "all right" to go to hell. Is that what you want, or do you want to

be all right to live forever?

Giving thanks u nto the Father, which hath made u s meet to be partakers of the

inher itance of the saints in light (Colossians 1:12). Through the blood of Jesus we have been

made partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light. What kind of light? The blood light, the

only light that will penetrate all the darkness of sin. In that divine blood of His Son, God sent you

the same light that lights up Heaven. Why pine about the darkness on the earth when you have the


6 12/19/2010


7/16

light of God? He is God of light, making plain paths for your feet. Walk in His faith, love and

obedience all the way.

Depending on whether you are saved or unsaved at the end of life's journey, you will go to either

Heaven or hell. You have the good Holy Ghost or else you don't. If you talk in tongues at will, you

don't have the Holy Ghost but are deceived. You grieve the Holy Ghost out of your life when you

try to talk for Him. No one taught those souls in the Upper Room to speak in tongues. Teaching

people how to speak in tongues at will is a false doctrine that has destroyed many. The devil has

used it to try to make people scoff at the reality of the baptism in the Holy Spirit. You don't repeat

mumble jumble or talk baby talk and expect the real Holy Ghost to baptize you. Pray in your own

tongue praising God until the Holy Spirit takes over praying in another tongue. The Lord has

prayed through me thousands of hours in other languages and dialects, but I pray in English until

the Lord takes over. That's the reason I'm edified and blessed.

You may have seen some people on television who start in speaking with what they call a prayer

tongue, praying at will. It's disgusting. I run from people like that. The Lord one day in a divine

visitation told me that evil spirits have taken some people over who talk in tongues at will. Thedevil is talking through them. Others do the speaking themselvesand grieve the Holy Spirit. If

they keep on, they will grieve Him right out of their lives. God, not man, told me that speaking in

tongues at will is a dangerous thing. I see these offensive practices going on, ridiculous books being

published, and I know these people will have to give an account to God one day for their actions.

They have fooled and turned many away from the Holy Ghost. In my services, people get the real

Holy Ghost.

I told the Lord when I was in my teens that I wanted what the apostles in the second chapter of Acts

received. "Lord," I said, "this is what I want. I want the real Holy Ghost. I want the same Holy

Ghost you gave to them." I ordered it that way, and got it that way. I had nothing to do with what

the Holy Ghost spoke through me. It was incredible to me to think the Holy Spirit would take over

my tongue and speak in another language. I knew the Holy Ghost was real for others, but it was

hard for me to believe He could speak through me, too. If someone had said, "Listen to me and talk

like I talk," I probably would have opened my eyes and told him to be quiet. I had seen too many

get the real Holy Ghost to want anything else.

In one service overseas, 29,477 received the Holy Ghost baptism. In another service, 64,574

received the Holy Ghost. Every one of them spoke in tongues as the Holy Spirit gave utterance.

We were almost in Heaven that night. The Lord had given me a revelation before I went to thatcountry that thousands would receive the baptism. I'm expecting to have services on the mission

field where it will not be uncommon for 100,000 or more to receive the Holy Ghost. I feel that

before it's all over, half a million or more will receive the Holy Ghost in one service. The fire will

fall. We have had over 160,000 miracles and healings and over 100,000 saved in just one night as

the power of God swept over multitudes of people.

God is ready to move; it's the people who must get ready to come with hungry hearts to hear the

Word of God. The Word of God in all its greatness and power will turn multitudes from their idol


6 12/19/2010


8/16

gods to the living God. God will move upon them and they will be ready to receive. As they see the

bodies of their children coming to normal, look into little eyes once blind that now suddenly can

see, they will glorify the God who made them.

One woman in an African crusade brought her mother whose foot was twisted, and the Lord

straightened it. The people were shouting praises, and when they settled down, the daughter

demonstrated how her mother's leg had been crippled, how people had to bring her in because she

couldn't walk. Now the leg was straight. God had done it. She was walking as well as anyone.

Then the daughter said, "My mother's blind. Would you pray for her to get her sight?" Instantly the

Lord gave the mother her sight. While some wonder whether God is performing miracles, that

blessed woman received her sight and was looking all around. The God of miracles lives; it's time

to believe God.

Do you accept all that is in the blood? It's all yours, your possessionreconciliation to God through

Christ's death. In whom w e have redem ption through his blood, even the forgivene ss of

sins: Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of eve ry creature : For by him

we re all things created, that are in heaven , and that are in earth, visible an d invisible,whe ther they be thrones, or d ominions, or principalities, or powe rs: all things were

created b y him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist

(Colossians 1:14-17).

The devil has robbed, stolen much that belongs to God, and God is taking it all back, even the earth,

the very ground. He will lift the curse from the earth and see to it that the devil does not step a foot

back on it. Into the bottomless pit one angel with one chaina chain of Jesus' bloodwill cast the

devil, and then later the devil will be thrown into the lake of fire. One chain of blood that stained

the old rugged cross will bind the devil in your life. If you have the blood of Jesus working in you,

you have as much power over the devil as that angel. You can use the blood to trample the devil

underfoot. Jesus said, In my n ame shall they cast out de vils (Mark 16:17). He didn't say you

might accidentally trample on one because you were scared to death and running; He was telling

you that you have overcoming power through His blood. Be positive, let the devil know you are not

afraid. Don't take up time with him; ignore him. Let him be. Don't talk to a snake when you are

about to trample it underfoot. Trample it and go on. Some people talk to the devil, telling him they

have the power to trample him, but they never seem to use that wonderful power.

And he is before all things, and b y him all things con sist. And h e is the head of the

body, the chu rch: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all thingshe might have the preeminen ce. For it pleased the Father that in him should all

fulness dwell (Colossians 1:17-19). It pleased the Father for all fullness to dwell in Jesus so that

He could serve all fullness to us. There is no lack of the benefits God has for us. He serves it all to

us. We have it daily to use. Having made peace throu gh the blood of his cross, by him to

reconcile all things u nto himself; by him, I say, whethe r they be things in e arth, or

things in heaven. And you, that we re sometime alienated and enem ies in your mind

by wicked w orks, yet now h ath he recon ciled In the body of his flesh through de ath, to

present you holy and un blamable and u nrepr oveable in his sight (verses 20-22). We are


6 12/19/2010


9/16

reconciled to God through the blood, through the blood-cross. No sin can be reconciled to God.

Anyone who has ever been reconciled to God had to be washed clean, free of sin.

Some people believe they cannot live free from sin. It's a lie of the devil. If the enemy is still in

their minds to do evil works, they are not reconciled to God. The Lord will be coming for a

church w ithout spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; bu t that it should be holy and

without blemish (Ephesians 5:27). Jesus is coming for people who are living holy. One speck of

sin makes a person unholy. To be holy, unblamable and unreprovable in His sight requires the

absence of sin. Jesus through His death made this holy living possible. He shed divine blood to

make people holy so that He could present them holy. We have to be made holy before He can

present us to the Father.

Any kind of sin has blame. Sin is to blame for all sorrow, heartache, despair, broken homes. God is

not to be blamed for any of it. No guile was found in the mouth of Jesus, no guile in the mouths of

those who have truly been born again.

If ye continu e in the faith, grounded an d settled, and be n ot moved aw ay from thehope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to eve ry creature

which is un der heaven ; where of I Paul am made a m inister (Colossians 1:23). You must

continue in it. If you sin, you lose your salvation; sin cannot enter Heaven. Many have

backslidden. Adam and Eve once were so holy that God came down to walk and talk with them, but

after they sinned, backslid, their connection to God was broken. Judas once was saved; he was one

of the twelve sent out with the power of the Lord, but he backslid. Even Peter backslid; he swore

and denied Christ, but later he came back, was forgiven and became a great warrior for the Lord.

Continue in the faith; let the faith of God take you over, ground and settle you in the Lord. Be

separated from the world by the truth and into the truth. Paul wrote: I am made a minister,

according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you , to fulfil the word of

God; Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from gen erations, but now

is made ma nifest to his saints (Colossians 1:25,26). At last the blood is no longer to be a

mystery to the body of Christ. The Bride is meant to understand all that is in the blood, all the

benefits of God in it for her. The saints of Godto whom God wou ld make known w hat is the

riches of the glory of this mystery am ong the Gentiles; wh ich is Christ in you, the ho pe

of glory: Whom w e preach, warn ing every man, and teaching every man in all

wisdom; that we m ay present every man perfect in Christ Jesus (verses 27,28). You can't

be perfect in Christ Jesus if you have sin. Sin kills perfection.

For this cause I Pau l, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles, If ye have heard of

the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward: How that by

revelation he made know n u nto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few w ords,

Whe reby, when ye read, ye may und erstand my know ledge in the mystery of Christ)

(Ephesians 3:1-4). Paul was given knowledge in the mystery of Christ, and today the Lord is giving

us knowledge in that same mystery. Many have not understood the greatness of Christ, have not

used the fullness of Him, and so they have not received the benefits offered them through the many


6 12/19/2010


10/16

things that are in the blood of Jesus Christ.

The mystery of Christwhich in other ages was not m ade kno w u nto the sons of men , as it

is now re vealed u nto his holy apostles and p rophets by the Sp irit (verse 5). In Old

Testament days people did not understand about Jesus. Although Moses spoke of His coming and

Isaiah told of His birth and death, neither one was enlightened about the mystery of the blood. It

was not revealed to them, but to Paul it was revealed that the Gentiles should be fellow -heirs,

and of the same body, and p artakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel (verse 6).

The mystery of Jesus is the mystery of the blood, the divine blood; Paul brought this mystery to the

Gentiles.

How could Jesus be very man as well as very God? When you understand the mystery of the blood,

you understand that Jesus was born of a virgin, that the blood came from the Father, from divinity,

the Holy Ghost.

Paul said he was made a minister of the Gospel accord ing to the gift of the grace of God

given un to me by the effectual work ing of his pow er (verse 7). How does the power of Godwork? Through the blood. It's blood-power. Paul goes further:Unto me, w ho am less than

the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I shou ld preach am ong the Ge ntiles the

un searchable riches of Christ (verse 8). Where do you find the unsearchable riches of Christ?

In the blood. The blood is filled with riches beyond the comprehension of the human mind. We

can't take them all in, but we can take in all that we need.

And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the

beginning of the w orld hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ

(verse 9). What is our fellowship with the Lord? What brings us into this holy place with Him?

What makes it possible for us to live holy? The power of the blood. Many, I say again, do not

believe they can live holy; they don't understand the mystery of the blood, the mystery of Jesus,

how the blood works or the power in it. I rejoice to see devils losing their battles through the blood,

to see God's people using the blood.

Jesus said,All powe r is given u nto me in heaven an d in earth (Matthew 28:18). He brought

that divine blood with Him from Heaven, and He gave it to His disciplesthe power in His divine

blood. He told them to go forth toheal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast ou t

devils (Matthew 10:8). Then He gave power to heal the sick and cast out devils to the laypeople:

The Lord appointed other seven ty also, and sent them tw o and tw o before his faceinto every city and place whither he himself would come. And the seventy return ed

again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject un to us throu gh thy name

(Luke 9:10,17). The power to cast out devils is in the blood. One devil cannot cast out another

devil; it's impossible. Jesus said,And if Satan cast ou t Satan , he is divided against himse lf;

how shall then his kingdom stand (Matthew 12:26)?

Whe refore Jesu s also, that he m ight sanctify the peop le with his own blood, suffered

without the gate (Hebrews 13:12). To be sanctified means to be made holy. If you are holy, you

have not one speck of sin. At the age of twelve, Jesus had all the answers through His divine blood.

You can have all the answers you need for life today through the blood of Jesus, through divinity.

You are a partaker of His divine blood, of His divinity. Through divinity you have answers to your

questions.

In the beginning, Adam and Eve had all the answers because they had divinity in them, the nature

of the Lord, and they were partakers of His divine nature. They walked, talked, lived like God and

had His peace, joy and happiness. How was this possible? Through His divine nature. That divine

nature is what the devil destroyed in their lives. They suffered great distress outside Eden,

knowing they couldn't get back in. It took the blood of Jesus to make a door back into Eden. You

can find that blood-door in the form of the cross. Through that door, walk back into the Eden of

God's happiness, peace, joy and contentment that He willed mankind to have in the very beginning.

This fellowship with God isn't something new; God is continuing His plan, a plan that was

interrupted, set aside for thousands of years but put into motion once again at the cross. Then

during that long period after the great evangelistic spirit of the Early Church, the light of the Gospel

almost went out. But now once again it's blazing with God's knowledge and greatness. Themysteries of the Lord are being revealed to the Bride of Christ. She has come into that wonderful

place of accepting all the Lord says, accepting the Spirit of Truth. She lives and abides in the power

of truth, the truth of deliverance, the truth of greatness, the truth of power and happiness, joy, love

and faith. Therefore she is understanding the mysteries of God, the mystery of the blood, the

mystery of Jesus Christ the divine Son of God. Man can be made new through that blood and go

back into spiritual Eden.

God's people for the most part have failed to be the testimonies and the witnesses for the Lord that

they should have been. The distractions of this life carry people away from God. Man can never

make a heaven out of material possessions. When you come to death's door, material possessions

mean nothing. You can't take any of them with you. All that counts is the way you have lived for

the Lord. That which you have in your heart is eternal, the priceless grace of God.

One missionary in a dying condition gave this farewell: "I'm going home not because of the works

that I have done but I'm going home on the blood of Jesus." Only if you go home through the blood

will you make it to Heaven. The blood walk, the blood highway takes you there. It's a way of

holiness, a highway that not one unclean thing, not one person with sin can walk upon. I know how

I felt when I received salvation; that gate swung open and I landed in the middle of a spiritual

Eden. It was glorious! For the next six weeks I walked like one on a trance of joy and peace. I justwanted to be with Jesus, to learn more about Him. I hadn't known that a Child of God could be so

happy, that I could find more joy with the Lord than I had ever found in the world. I didn't weep

over the world. I was glad to be rid of it after I got into Eden.

Some people don't get into Eden; they stand outside where everything is cursed, stand on cursed

ground. Their souls are growing thorns and nettles. They act like it, talk like it, irritate people. If

only they would wake up, find the real happiness and peace of God in the blood, they would be

different people.

The blood, I say again, is your way into Eden. If you don't have joy and peace, it's time to move on

into Eden through the blood of Jesus. Jesus is your best friend; when you love and serve Him, you

will always have a friend. If people forsake you, let you down, it's time to cling to His hand a little

tighter, move in a little closer to Him. Remember when you were born new; look at Jesus and

know your life can be holy and pure like Histhrough the blood.

Adam and Eve, remember, actually walked and talked with God. A long time later, God walked and

talked with Enoch, and now Jesus is walking and talking with us. He said, Lo, I am w ith you

alway, even u nto the end of the world (Matthew 28:20). You don't have to look for Him;

when you are born new, He is with you always, right there in your heart. As long as you are born

again, staying free of sin, Jesus lives within. Through faith you know He is there.

The blood brings you into the same relationship with Heaven that Jesus had with the Father. When

you are covered with the blood you have that divine relationship, and you can call Heaven

anytime. Only you yourself can put static on the line. Everything is all right in Heaven; it's down

here you have trouble.

The devil is the prince of the air, but thank God, one day he will be cast down. Don't look at him,

but look to Jesus, keep your mind on Jesus. Think about what you have in Him. You are made

new; you can have the same characteristics, the same traits as Jesus. How God must love you! He

loved Enoch so much that one day He decided to bring him home. One of these days the Lord will

decide to take His Children home in the Rapture, those who are filled and thrilled with His

greatness, with His power. It will take the Holy Ghost to get you out of here.

Without the Holy Spirit you cannot use what is in the blood. You will not find your way in this hour

without the Holy Ghostwhom God hath given to them that obey him (Acts 5:32). The Lord

is coming after the obedient. The obedient will receive salvation and go on to be baptized in the

Holy Ghost. Salvation and obedience to God are the qualifications for receiving the Holy Ghost

baptism.

The blood sacrifices in the Old Testament didn't bring man into the fellowship with God that God

wanted. Man's sin separated him from God, and man had to be freed from all sin in order to have

fellowship with God. You r iniquities have separated betwe en you and your God, and

your sins have hid his face from you, that he w ill not hear (Isaiah 59:2). Jesus used the

divine blood to tear down the middle wall of partition that separated man from his God. At the

crucifixion, the veil in the temple was rent, the veil that hung before the holy of holies into whichonly the High Priest could enter on the Day of Atonement. Had man torn the veil, he would have

torn it from bottom to top. But it was rent from top to bottom, showing that God had done it, that

there no longer was a barrier between God and those who sought Him with their whole hearts.

Man must have more than human nature; he must have divine nature. Divine nature set Adam and

Eve apart from the world, and when they lost it, they were cursed. When you lose the divine

nature, you have nothing to keep you from the devil; nothing to make you fit for Heaven. Only

divine nature can take you through to Heaven. You don't wait until you are in Heaven to have that


16 12/19/2010


13/16

divine nature; you get it on this side of Heaven.

Whe reby are given u nto u s exceeding great and p recious prom ises: that by these ye

might be partakers of the divine n ature, having escaped the cor ruption that is in the

world throu gh lust (II Peter 1:4). When Jesus combined human nature with His divine nature,

He showed us the God/man. Through His divine nature, through His blood, come the new

creations of those who receive salvation. Jesus showed man how the divine nature and the human

nature mix. First, the human nature must be cleansed with the blood of Jesus, and then it mixes

with, fellowships with, divinity. It mixes well, blends in with God.

When you are made holy, no condemnation is in your soul. There is, therefore, now no

condem nation to them w hich are in Christ Jesus, w ho walk not after the flesh, bu t

after the S pirit (Romans 8:1). Unless the divine blood is in you, you will not walk after the Spirit,

obey the Spirit or be led by the Spirit. You will be led by the spirit of error because you will have

given over to the flesh. The only way you can become a part of God and remain a part of Him is

through divinity. Divinity must live in you all the time.

Paul said, I live; yet no t I, bu t Christ liveth in m e: and the life w hich I now live in the

flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, w ho loved me , and gave himself for me

(Galatians 2:20). Every real Child of God can say the same thing. Without the blood of Jesus in

your heart, you are not a Child of God, but a pretender, an imposter, a fake.

Man cannot do away with sins; only the blood of Jesus can wash away sins. Only through Jesus can

you be forgiven. The Holy Ghost applies the blood. Man can point you to the blood, but man

cannot forgive sins; it's an impossibility.

To be born new is a wonderful transformation, an inner, ethical, spiritual transformation that cancome only through the new birth by the Holy Spirit applying the blood. If any man be in Christ,

he is a new cre ature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are becom e ne w.

And all things are of God, who hath reconciled u s to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath

given to u s the ministry of reco nciliation (II Corinthians 5:17,18). Notice the ethical and

spiritual feature of Paul's experience. Once he was against everyone but the non-Christian Jews.

But after his experience with Jesus on the road to Damascus, suddenly he became humble, meek,

patient, generous, forgiving; now he was made brand new. On fire for Jesus, Paul became an

apostle to the Gentiles. He gave up everything for Christ, suffering much persecution. Without

complaint, he did it all. He acknowledged that he was responsible for having Christians murdered,that he was a debtor to all men. What a change salvation brought to Paul! Had his change been

merely outward and not in the heart, he still would have had that malignant persecuting, devilish

temperament that had Christians put to death.

I have learned , Paul said, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. I know

both how to be ab ased, and I know how to aboun d: every where an d in all things I am

instructed both to be full and to be hun gry, both to aboun d and to suffer need. I can

do all things throu gh Christ which stren gtheneth m e (Philippians 4:11-13). Something very


16 12/19/2010


14/16

internal happened to Paul, and something very internal happens to everyone who comes to Jesus

through His blood. Only through the blood does salvation come. It can't happen any other way.

What is in the divine blood of Jesus? The overcoming power that Jesus used when He was here.

He defeated the devil in all ways, and that power is in the blood for us to use. His blood is the

blood of hope, the hope of Heaven. The courage of Heaven is in this divine blood, the strength of

Heaven, victories for every valley, for every mountain.

In the blood of Jesus you find Heaven's love that cannot be destroyed by the devil; it's eternal, the

eternal love of God in the blood. That precious, tender blood flows day and night against all evil to

keep you protected. This divine blood has the song in the night of joy, peace, strength, happiness.

This blood has the laughter of Heaven. God makes His people to laugh. All of your tears will be

dried one day through the blood of Jesus. That handkerchief that God will use to wipe away your

human tears will be the blood of Jesus.

In His blood is healing for every broken heart, power to break every yoke of bondage. Through the

blood you can be delivered from whatever binds you; you can be set free. Blood to trample anykind of devileven Lucifer himselfunderfoot is available to every Child of God.

In the blood of Jesus is victory over all oppression, depression, all anxiety. In the blood of Jesus is

power to destroy the spirit of disobedience and arrogance, the power to put self under submission

to the Holy Spirit of truth. In the blood of Jesus is power to destroy every particle of deceit. Not

one particle of deceit can get through the gates of Glory.

In His divine blood is power to walk hand in hand with divinity. The life in the blood penetrates all

darkness, lights up all roads and paths. The blood-washed have plain paths promised to them. The

blood-washed are the saints of God. Their life is to be different from the life of the world.

We've taken our opinions and cast them aside for the opinions of God and the thoughts of God. We

don't live by our opinions. If we have an opinion, we take it to the Word, and the Spirit of Truth

helps us to see if it will stand the Word-test. If it doesn't, we throw it away. We give no one our

own opinions until we take them to God. If we would not take them to God, we would be using a

careless spirit that displeases and grieves the Holy Spirit. And griev e no t the holy Spirit of

Go d (Ephesians 4:30). Every idle w ord that me n shall speak, they shall give accou nt

thereof in the day of judgm ent. For by thy word s thou shalt be justified, and b y thy

word s thou shalt be condem ned (Matthew 12:36,37).

When you give people advice and that advice causes them to get into trouble, you are responsible.

If you wrong people with your opinion, you are responsible. I'm responsible for everything I tell

people; that's the reason I depend on God to give what He wants the people to know. I'm His

mouthpiece. I wait for God to give me the answers for people.

The power in the divine blood will open the gates of Glory for all the redeemed. We'll have no

trouble getting through the gates of Glory; the redeemed will go sweeping through because of the

power in the blood. The blood shuts out everything unlike God. And ther e shall in n o w ise


16 12/19/2010


15/16

enter into it any thing that defileth, neither w hatsoever w orketh abom ination, or

maketh a lie: but they w hich are written in the Lamb's book of life (Revelation 21:27). It

takes deceit to make a lie, and nothing that makes a lie will enter Heaven. You must have your sins

washed away with the blood; the blood must be in your soul before the blood is used to write your

name in the book of life. God doesn't write your name in the book of life until every sin is out of

you, saith the Lord. In the moment, in the split second that every sin is washed away, your name is

recorded in the book of life because then and then only do you become born of the Spirit of God.

Then and then only do you have the born again experience that Jesus told Nicodemus about. The

divine blood of Jesus will make you an heir of all the greatness of Heaven, a joint-heir with Jesus.

The blood makes all things new. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all

things new(Revelation 21:5). There will be a new heaven, a new earth. He that overcome th

shall inhe rit all things; and I w ill be h is God, and he sha ll be m y son (Revelation 21:7).

You must use the blood to be an overcomer. Without His blood you will not be an overcomer; it's

impossible.

Bu t if we w alk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another,and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth u s from all sin (I John 1:7). Thank God for

the blood of Jesus! Thank God for the blood that stained the old rugged cross! Thank God for the

blood in Heaven today on the altar of God and in the souls of the redeemed throughout the whole

earth! The blood flows constantly; it's filled with all the life of God, in action all the time in our

lives, living divinity on the inside of us, living divinity in the soul that came from God. That soul

once was contaminated with no room for God, but then through the blood it was blood-washed,

blood-bought and blood-kept. Thank God for the blood!

Yea, saith the Spirit of the Lord: I am giving you the mystery of the blood. You must use it in this

your final hour. There will be many, many va lleys for you, and I will send you into special va lleys

to rescue multitudes of people. You will have to have my whole armor to be the witness that I will

you to be. I will be with you; my power will work within you. The blood will flow, the blood with

all its power and victory over death, hell and the grave. No power will stand before my

redeemed, before the Bride as she finishes her work and brings in my harvest. I will stretch forth

my hand, and she will accept direction. She will walk as I wa lk, and she will use my faith and my

love. She will serve all of my greatness to the heathen in this her final hour. Joy and gladness will

be hers. And she will serve in great peace and contentment because she knows that I am with her

and all power belongs to her and that she will use my greatness. She will not fear what man will

do to her because she knows that her Lord is greater a nd His powers are greater than all the

powers of darkness. She will take my Gospel to the ends of the Earth, bringing my harvest, and

then the end will come, saith the Lord.

If you have one particle of sin in you, one speck of deceit in your soul, the blood isn't there. Heaven

won't be yours unless you let the blood come into your heart. It will come, but you must want it. If

you don't have that divine blood in your soul, let me pray with you:

Oh God: I have sinned aga inst you; I am so sorry! But I have come home, and I'm going to serve


16 12/19/2010


16/16

you, Lord, the rest of my life. I believe in the blood of Jesus, and I know there's power in the blood

of Jesus to wash away all of my sins. Come on in, Jesus! Come into my heart!

If you meant that prayer, if you really accepted the blood, the Lord has moved in. He has written

your name in the book of life, your name. All names in that book are written with one kind of ink

only, the divine blood that Jesus shed on Calvary. Thank God for the blood of Jesus! It's our

greatest possession. Through the blood we possess the whole Jesus. It's wonderful to stake your

claim for Jesus, accepting His blood; it means you have staked your claim for Heaven, a place of

many mansions. One day, if you're true to that blood, you will walk down the avenue of Glory and

kneel before the great throne of God, thanking Him for the blood of His only begotten Son that

made it possible for you to be there.

You who are sick and afflicted, God has gifted me with His gifts, His power for healing. I'm just His

humble vessel of clay; I'm not a healer. He's the healer. All the honor, all the glory go to Him.

Lord, I bring the sick and afflicted to you. I bring the cancer victims, the heart patients, the

crippled, the blind. I bring little deformed children, little blind babies for delivera nce. I bring

them in your faith, the faith that's in the blood, the divine blood. I bring them in your love, thelove in the divine blood of Jesus, healing blood, healing pow er. In the name of Jesus, from your

gift of miracles, from your g ifts of healing it comes. Heal! Heal in the holy, holy name of the

Lord, in the mighty name of Jesus.

The healing power is flowing, flowing. If you have believed, that power is going into you or into

your child. Watch it work. Through the blood of Jesus, His powers are your possession. Know

what is in the blood, know the powers there for you and claim them for the honor and glory of your

Lord. Use them daily, and Jesus victories will be yours.
