Nuggets in the Power of the Blood of Jesus

We need to understand that the life of the christian will exist as that of a soldier. There will be many battles to be fought, albeit from the stand-point of victory of Jesus at Calvary. We are not fighting for this victory, rather we are standing or in essence taking the victory of Jesus over situations that opposes the will God in either our lives or in the lives of others (2 Cor 10:3  For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: 
2 Cor 10:4  (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 
2 Cor 10:5  Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 
2 Cor 10:6  And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.).

The greatest battles will take place in our minds just as it did at Eden -" Did God say..." We will be faced with many fear situations, doubts, anxieties and unbelief. These are the battles of the soul; the soul and the mind realm is where the spiritual battles in the heavenly places are mirrored. 

Let's get back to the Lambs Blood. Why is His [Jesus - God] blood so important to us as an "element" of hope, power and salvation. We need to understand  that the life of a creature is in its blood (Leviticus 17:14  For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off. ). Truly, all creatures have some kind of blood system- it does not necessarily have to be "red."

Jesus' blood was the channel with which God gave us access to His power and presence.
The cross was the sign of the defeat of Satan but with it also God provided His way of escape for us from sin and the nature of death.
Jesus was victorious over the devil by His righteousness. It was illegal for a righteous man to die and the scriptures clearly stated that the "soul that sinneth must die."
Jesus never sinned and was in fact the only righteous man alive that never sinned and thus it became an illegal process and anomaly for Him to remain dead (Eccl 7:20  For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not).  He had to come out of the grave.

In defeating the devil  by this, Satan by his rage killed the Lord of Hosts but it was this illegal action that was actually his [Satan's] undoing. He killed a sinless man and thus broke a spiritual law - a soul that sinneth shall die but Jesus was sinless and thus had to preeminence over Satan's right over man by this action. The devil breaking this law; Jesus took advantage of Satan's rage and took the keys Death and Hades back from him. Jesus' battle was not about a power show; it was about legal rights and status. Sin was the issue and not the devil ( Please read my post on Why Inherited Adam's Sin).

By the same trickery the devil used on Adam; God in His wisdom outplayed Satan (1 Corinthians 2: 7 - 8 ). God need not create any special angelic force or systems to defeat Satan. God will always use what you think you are wise in to confound your wisdom.

So What Makes Jesus' Blood so Powerful:

It was the righteousness of Jesus that infused His Blood with power for the remission of sin. His divine nature was not the cure for sin as it could only take a righteous bloodline to deliver man from sin and the stronghold of the devil through sin.
Jesus was God, had it been that His divine nature was the cure for sin then He [Jesus] needed not to have died and even come to earth at all. But by law as instituted by God Himself; it will take blood for redemptive action. That was why in the old testament blood of animals and bulls were used a symbol of the real sacrifice yet coming (Jesus).
Why blood? It take a life to atone for another life and life is in the blood of a creature and God had to sue His own blood to pay for our sin. It was His righteousness that He infused into His blood that made the taking away of sin possible.
Through His blood we now inherited His divine nature and authority to take charge back over the earth and rout out demonic forces. (Revelations 12:11  And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death). 

The Legal Status of Jesus: Why He Could Die for Mankind

His Conception: 
Jesus was conceived the same way Adam was: that is why He was His called the second Adam. The over-shadowing by the Holy Ghost is the same as breathing "into the nostrils," and the man became a living soul - self aware, existing, living (Genesis 1: 26 and Luke 1: 28 -35 ).

Adam was born without the process of natural sexual activity - by the breath [Holy Spirit] of God into Clay which became as living soul; likewise Jesus was born by "the over-shadowing" of the Holy Spirit of an ovum [Clay] in Mary -" For dust... and to dust you shall return (Genesis 3: 19)

Divine Calling and Capacities:
Jesus came in the same divine capacity Adam came and had. What Adam could not do; Jesus did by the same reason of temptation ( The Eden trial and Satan's Trial of Jesus after His 40 day fast are both same testings in every way and every capacity. Both progenitors were tested for fame, lust and pride- self worship and want of worship. See the accounts in Genesis 3: 1 - 7 and  Luke 4: 1- 13)
I Can say that both Jesus and Adam carried the same genetic and spiritual code in capacity: they were both the creator's master stroke creations. They were both son's of God and born by His Spirit and were begotten of God's eternal will without either individual taking a decision to be who God made them to be. They were given the right to name and re-order creation. God had breathed into both Adam and Jesus, This mystery is plain but yet misunderstood.

This is the sole reason God could empty Himself in Jesus and still have the legal status to enter into the earth [ man's realm], retake its ownership and give it back to us through Jesus' ministry as the Christ was that God had secretly shared His genetic code with Adam. The devil was blind to this; and many of us are also blind to this. Read Genesis 1: 26 again. See it? Hidden in plain sight!
"These" individuals ( and with all due respect to my savior Jesus) carried capacities to "produce their own kind."
Jesus died and rose and today we have Christians; whereas Adam failed but God in His mercies preserved His capacity through the process of biological pro-creation that produces his kind - Humans. By this reason, humans also inherited his fall [sin].
Jesus on the other hand, the second Adam, through the process of His death and resurrection brought about the re-creation of our a twisted mind caused by sin when we took in Adam the fruit of the knowledge of Good and Evil. The re-newal of our mind is salvation
(Romans 12: 2 and Romans 8: 1-3 ), and whoever accepts Jesus also inherits His Glory - Salvation
( Romans 5: 10 - 21 ) just as we inherited Adam's glory (effect of sin).

Now, had Adam succeeded in defeating the serpent's beguilement, then he would have a raised up a Holy Nation, a peculiar people through his blood blood line (1 Peter 2: 19). He failed, and to save enter creation God had to come through Jesus to raise this Holy Nation through His own blood line.
Jesus and Adam were made to carry same spiritual capacities. They both proceeded forth from God and God said by himself - " I am not ashamed to be called their brother and to associate with mankind."
Had Jesus had a totally different genetic code from Adam, then it would have been totally illegal for Jesus to die for His brethren and in His brother's place - Adam (Romans 8: 32 -37). His death and sufferings would not have been allowed.

The New and the Old:
The spirit of Adam is the law and the prophets whereas, the Spirit of Jesus is love [Salvation - the fulfillment of the punishment of the law was made complete when Jesus died and paid by His blood for us all].
Jesus lives forever it follows by natural spiritual laws then that all who accepts Him will in essence live forever His Spirit just as Adam brought death, likewise, Jesus brought eternal life by salvation.

In Paul's letter to the Corinthian Church, he made it clear in I Corinthians 15: 45 - 47 - " And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
1Cor 15:46  Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
1Cor 15:47  The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven."

Studying these verses further reveal that both Jesus and Adam were "made" for God's own purpose. However the last Adam [Jesus] was God Himself as Adam and Jesus carried both divine essence within them. Many times, Jesus would call Himself the "Son of Man." Why would God call Himself a son of a mortal man! He was indeed the son of a mortal man through His genetic code He shared with Adam but He had pre-existed before Adam but in His mission as savior of mankind, He was in essence a son of man, limited and frail and could feel mankind's woes now being a partaker of his fall. He[God] could only partake because He had the legal right to do through His genetic code through Adam. Had He [God] created Adam like other creatures, man would have been doomed because the legal right to enter into the earth to take man's place for full recompense of judgement as dictated by God's will would not have been possible.

Spirit beings cannot enter the earth realm; it is forbidden! That was why the spirits that disobeyed God and went into the daughters or men are chained in everlasting chains (Genesis 6: 1 - 4). It was an illegality. Likewise, Satan cannot operate directly in the earth. He uses agents like witches, reprobate people etc who are demonized or oppressed to do his bidding. God Himself cannot operate directly in earth even as the status as the eternal creator. He has given the ownership of the earth to Adam, but Adam lost it and God had to re-take it back through Jesus to give it back to us through Him. That was the essence of the fight against sin by God. To take back what belonged to Man and to restore the universe to its natural order under the authority of man but now through Jesus.

In closing, Jesus said this to Mary after He had resurrected: John 20: 11 -17  "John 20:17  Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God. "
This statement settles all doubts that Jesus by saying "my God and your God" is indicative of a family relationship. Man was made different from Angels and every other creature. The major dividing line is that mankind carries God's own genetic code ( Psalm 8 : 1-9) which made us all His children indeed (Hebrews 1: 1 - 14).

We are at War

The unseen battles for the mind ( Romans 12, Philippians 4: 8-9, Hebrews 11:6, Joshua 1:8, Genesis - where God showed Abraham the stars, Genesis where Jacob held Esau's feet)

The mind is the greatest battle field of universe. Wars, conflicts, friendships, science, technology all are products of the mind and the quality of a mind matters to both God the eternal creator and our adversary, Satan. " He who controls the mind, controls, the person."
II Corinthians 10: 3-6 "2 Corinthians 10:3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: 10:4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 10:6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.

What is the knowledge of God:
The knowledge of God is His will towards man in the general and His will towards you on the personal. The knowledge of God is when you are in His will. Out of His will is the wicked one's intent of exaltation - wanting his own desire to prevail against God's. Lucifer fell because of his pride. He said he would exalt himself above the stars of God[angels], he said he would like the most high (Isaiah 14: 12 -14). This still goes on today; it continued right from the garden of Eden when the serpent joined forces with Satan to be used to bring mankind out of the will of God and thus out of Eden(Genesis 3: 1- 7) The adversary said: " Yea, hath God said..." This question still goes on in the mind of men; your mind, my mind. These are the battles we face daily, sometime more intense in some seasons.

When Your Obedience is Fulfilled:What is having "... your obedience is fulfilled?" It is when where sin has occurred letting grace in repentance cover and remove such [sin/s] without going back to such ways but doing the right thing as injunctioned by God. It obeying God in all points where you have disobeyed Him. This scripture refers to redeemed Christians who have acted out of lack of knowledge on issues relating to the gospel of Jesus Christ and their relationship to God.

Ephesians 6: 10- 18 talks about wrestling against unseen forces of darkness and wicked spirits that control disobedient men. The Bible urges us to put on the whole armor of God to fight this good fight. Faith, righteousness, God's word, salvation, preaching , truth are all part of God's package and armor to help us win in this war. I must say here that we are not fighting to win but rather we are maintaining God's victory over the devil by standing our ground in Him through these armor ( Colossians 2: 13 - 15). This armor is the Knowledge of God. God confounds the mighty through weak and feeble men to show His might is not limited by strength.

Where do we stand?
We stand with God in this battle, we are more than conquerors through Him that gave Himself up for us. The essence of this war is that God wants to prove Himself in your life and my life as fellow partakers of His glory.

Remain victorious In Jesus name.
