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).
2 Cor 10:4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
