But 48 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 5: glad to have you come out sometime. I like to 49 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 5: start with something funny. And I heard about this pastor. 50 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 5: He was new in town, and he was going door 51 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,080 Speaker 5: to door inviting people to come to his church. And 52 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,799 Speaker 5: he knocked on this one door, and he could tell 53 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 5: someone was there, but nobody would answer. So he took 54 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 5: his church card out and wrote on the back the 55 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 5: scripture reference Revelation three twenty and left it on the door. 56 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 5: The next Sunday after service, and Usher handed him the 57 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 5: same card. Under what he had written was the scripture 58 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 5: reference Genesis three ten. 59 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:36,239 Speaker 4: Here's what they say. 60 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 5: The pastor's words, Revelation three twenty. Behold, I stand at 61 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,080 Speaker 5: the door and knock. If anyone answers, I will come in. 62 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 5: The reply was Genesis three ten. It says I heard 63 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 5: your voice, but I was afraid because I was naked. 64 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 5: Say it like you mean it. This is my Bible. 65 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 5: I am what it says I am. I have what 66 00:02:58,120 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 5: it says I have. 67 00:02:59,320 --> 00:02:59,800 Speaker 4: I can do. 68 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,359 Speaker 5: That's what it says I can do. Today I will 69 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 5: be talked the word of God. I boldly confess. My 70 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,359 Speaker 5: mind is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never 71 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 5: be the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I 72 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,240 Speaker 5: want to talk to you today about the power of 73 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 5: the blood. In the Old Testament, the only way they 74 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,800 Speaker 5: could have forgiveness for sins was to sacrifice an animal. 75 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 5: Without the shedding of blood, there was no remission for sin. 76 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,959 Speaker 5: Every year, the high priest would go into the Holy 77 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 5: of Holies, that was the most sacred place in the Temple, 78 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 5: and he would offer a sacrifice for his sins and 79 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 5: the sins of all the people. It was called the 80 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 5: day of atonement. If the sacrifice was acceptable, their sins 81 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 5: would not be taken away, they would be covered. They 82 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 5: were good for another year. This was an ongoing process, 83 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,119 Speaker 5: and the priest had to make sure everything was perfect, 84 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 5: that they animal didn't have spot or blemishes, that it 85 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 5: was the right age, all these requirements. If they didn't 86 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 5: meet the requirements, the sacrifice wouldn't be acceptable. They wouldn't 87 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 5: have God's blessing. This is the constant pressure they lived under. 88 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 4: Is our sin going to be forgiven for this year? 89 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 5: Is the sacrifice going to be good enough? The blood 90 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:27,479 Speaker 5: of animals only offered them temporary forgiveness, But God told 91 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 5: Abraham there was a day coming that he was going 92 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 5: to get rid of the old covenant, or the old 93 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 5: way of doing things. God was saying, it was fine 94 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 5: for a time, but I'm going to make a new 95 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 5: covenant to permanently take care of sin. The problem is 96 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:46,360 Speaker 5: it couldn't happen with the. 97 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 4: Blood of bulls and goats. That wasn't good enough. 98 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:53,360 Speaker 5: It was going to take a special kind of sacrifice. 99 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 5: One day, John the Baptist was out ministeringing. He saw 100 00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 5: Jesus coming and said, look the lamb of God, God who. 101 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 4: Takes away the sin of the world. 102 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 5: John knew that Jesus was the sacrifice that God told 103 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 5: Abraham about. Jesus was God's lamb when he died on 104 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 5: the cross and shed his blood. It says in Hebrews 105 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 5: that he went once and for all into the Holy 106 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 5: of Holies, not with the blood of bulls and goats, 107 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 5: but with his own blood to secure a complete redemption 108 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 5: for us all one translation says, an everlasting release from 109 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:40,919 Speaker 5: our sins. His blood put an end to the old 110 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 5: system of sacrificing again and again hoping that we would 111 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:50,280 Speaker 5: be forgiven. Now we can live with the confidence that 112 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:55,479 Speaker 5: all of our sins past, present, and future have not 113 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,840 Speaker 5: just been covered, not just temporarily atoned for, they have 114 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:01,480 Speaker 5: been washed away. 115 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,839 Speaker 4: We have an everlasting release. This is the power of 116 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 4: the blood. 117 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 5: When Jesus hung on the cross, suspended between heaven and Earth, 118 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 5: he took all of our mistakes, all of our failures 119 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,600 Speaker 5: and weaknesses, all of the times we've blown it and 120 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 5: the times we ever will blow it, and he forgave it. 121 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 5: The good news is not that God will forgive you. 122 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,599 Speaker 5: The good news is He has already forgiven you. Like 123 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:36,040 Speaker 5: John declared, the lamb of God has taken away the 124 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 5: sin of the world. 125 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 4: Now, this sacrifice. 126 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 5: Won't do you any good if you don't receive it, 127 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 5: if you go around guilty, condemned, trying to pay God 128 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 5: back for your mistakes. No, the price has already been paid. 129 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 5: Receive his mercy, receive his life. Every day, Father, thank 130 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,719 Speaker 5: you that I am forgiven, Thank you you that I 131 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 5: am redeemed. The accuser will tell you just the opposite. 132 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:06,840 Speaker 5: God's not going to forgive you. 133 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 4: Look what you've done, Look at the way you lived. 134 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 4: You knew better than that. 135 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 5: It's easy to believe these lies and go around with 136 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 5: a heaviness with no passion for life. I talked to 137 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 5: a gentleman recently, and he was so down on himself, 138 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 5: telling me all the mistakes that he had made. Here's 139 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 5: my question, do you think your mistake was too much 140 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 5: for the blood that Christ shed? Do you think what 141 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:39,679 Speaker 5: you've done somehow has tipped the scales? And now God 142 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 5: is thinking, Oh, didn't see that one coming. I should 143 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 5: have sent a better sacrifice. I could understand this reasoning. 144 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 5: If we were still offering the blood of bulls and goats. 145 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 5: Maybe we didn't get the right kind of animal. Maybe 146 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 5: we didn't meet all the requirements. 147 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 4: Friends, those days are gone. 148 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 5: You've been redeemed by the sinless, spotless, all powerful son 149 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 5: of the Living God. That's not ordinary blood. That's blood 150 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 5: that defeated the enemy. It's blood that crushed Satan's head, 151 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 5: blood that took the keys of death and hell, Blood 152 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 5: that causes. 153 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 4: The demons to tremble. It's not average, typical blood. 154 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 5: It's blood that open blind eyes, cured the lepers, walked 155 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 5: on water, calmed the seas. It's the blood that restored 156 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:36,439 Speaker 5: the woman caught in adultery. It's blood that forgave the people. 157 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 4: Who crucified him. 158 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,440 Speaker 5: What am I saying, no mistake you've made is too 159 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:45,559 Speaker 5: much for this blood. Shake off the guilt, Quit living condemned, 160 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:47,440 Speaker 5: feeling like you're washed up. 161 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:52,320 Speaker 4: And receive the forgiveness. We're under the better covenant, the 162 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 4: New Covenant. 163 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,200 Speaker 5: No more do we have to rely on the blood 164 00:08:56,280 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 5: of bulls and goats, wondering if our sins were be forgiven, 165 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:05,079 Speaker 5: hoping we can get some kind of temporary atonement. Because 166 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,319 Speaker 5: of the blood that Christ shed, our sins have been 167 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 5: permanently taken care of. This is what Paul said in 168 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 5: Second Corinthians. God is not counting your sins against you. 169 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 5: He has blotted them out. Too many people live condemned, 170 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 5: always thinking about their past mistakes. 171 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 4: They've asked God. 172 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 5: To forgive them every day for the same thing for 173 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 5: the last four years. They don't realize the first time 174 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:36,440 Speaker 5: you asked God forgave you, He's saying, I'm not counting 175 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 5: that against you. I've already blotted it out. If God 176 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,960 Speaker 5: let it go, why don't you let it go? Why 177 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 5: don't you forgive yourself and move forward with your life. 178 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 5: As long as you're looking backwards, living in regrets, beating 179 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 5: yourself up over past mistakes, you will never step into 180 00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 5: the new things God has in store. It's easy to 181 00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 5: go go through life looking in the rear view mirror, 182 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,280 Speaker 5: thinking about what you should have done better. 183 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 4: What didn't work out. 184 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 5: But the reason the rear view mirror is so small 185 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 5: and your front windshield is so big is because where 186 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 5: you've been is not nearly as important as where you're going. 187 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 4: Get rid of the rear view mirror. 188 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 5: You've been redeemed, you've been restored. 189 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 4: God didn't just cover your sins. 190 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 5: He blotted them out. He's not holding them against you. 191 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:34,320 Speaker 5: Isaiah put it this way, like a thick cloud, God 192 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 5: has blotted out our sins. 193 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 4: Think of your. 194 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 5: Mistakes, your failures as a thick fog. You can barely 195 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 5: see anything. Some mornings you wake up and you can 196 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 5: hardly see the house across the street. Then when the 197 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 5: sun comes out, that fog in a few minutes burns off. 198 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 5: It doesn't blow away, it doesn't move to the next city. 199 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 4: It evaporates. The sun causes it to vanish. 200 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,320 Speaker 5: We all make mistakes, have times that our life is 201 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 5: clouded by poor choices, clouded by sin. But when you 202 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:11,320 Speaker 5: ask God to forgive you, the sun comes out, so 203 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 5: n he causes his light to shine and cause that 204 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 5: sin to evaporate. It's gone, He says, he will not 205 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 5: remember our sins anymore. My challenge quit remembering what God 206 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 5: has forgotten, bringing up what's already been evaporated. When you 207 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 5: dwell on the past and relive your mistakes, all that's 208 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:36,720 Speaker 5: doing is causing a new cloud deform. 209 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 4: It's real simple. 210 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:42,439 Speaker 5: God is for you, The enemy is against you. You 211 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 5: get to cast the deciding vote. Which direction are you 212 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:50,520 Speaker 5: going to go? Believe the lies, live guilty, Think you 213 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,840 Speaker 5: couldn't be good enough for God to accept you. It 214 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 5: says in Ephesians that God. 215 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:59,840 Speaker 4: Has already accepted you. He's already blotted out your sin. 216 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 4: He's already shed his blood. The question is will you 217 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:04,720 Speaker 4: receive it? 218 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:08,440 Speaker 5: Will you put your shoulders back, hold your head up, hine, 219 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 5: and start acting like a child of the most High God, 220 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 5: letting the sun shine in your life. After all that 221 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:19,640 Speaker 5: Christ has done for us, after the incredible price he 222 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 5: paid on the cross, it doesn't bring him any honor 223 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 5: for us to go around. 224 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:26,720 Speaker 4: Feeling unworthy, condemned. 225 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 5: I can imagine God saying to the angels, I sent 226 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:35,440 Speaker 5: my son, I gave my best. He paid the ultimate sacrifice. 227 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 4: What more could I do? 228 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 5: Now, Let's do our part and start believing that we 229 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 5: are redeemed, that we are forgiven, that we have an 230 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:49,199 Speaker 5: everlasting release from our sins. For hundreds of years, the 231 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:53,680 Speaker 5: Israelites were enslavery, and God sent plague after plague upon 232 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 5: the people that were holding them, But Pharah wouldn't change 233 00:12:56,640 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 5: his mind. This last plague was going to be very devastating. 234 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 5: The first born male of all their captors was going 235 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 5: to be killed during the night, from the firstborn son 236 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,440 Speaker 5: of the pharaoh down to the firstborn son of the 237 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 5: poorest person. 238 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 4: Even the firstborn of. 239 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 5: All their animals were going to be destroyed. But God 240 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 5: gave the Israelites special instructions how to be protected from 241 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 5: this plague. Each man was to take a lamb for 242 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,960 Speaker 5: their family. Had to be a one year old male 243 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 5: without spot or blemish, and they were to sacrifice that 244 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,960 Speaker 5: lamb at dusk and take some of the blood and 245 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,839 Speaker 5: put it on the top of their door and some on. 246 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:43,559 Speaker 4: The sides of the doorframe. 247 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:48,480 Speaker 5: God said, when I see the blood over your doorpost, 248 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 5: I will know that you belong to me, and I 249 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 5: will pass over your house. 250 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:57,199 Speaker 4: No harm will come near you. When I destroy your enemies. 251 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 5: You can imagine how careful they must have been to 252 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:05,320 Speaker 5: follow these instructions. I can hear the kids asking, Dad, 253 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,520 Speaker 5: did you put the blood on the doorpost yet? The 254 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 5: wife said, let's go double check, let's make sure it's 255 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 5: still there. At midnight, when the death Angel came through 256 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 5: the land, wherever he saw the blood, he passed over. 257 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 4: They were protected. My question today is, have you put 258 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 4: this blood over your house? Have you taken the lamb? 259 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 5: The sacrifice has already been made. We don't have to 260 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 5: do it physically like they did. We're under the New Covenant, 261 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 5: but the principle is still the same. When you say, 262 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 5: as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. 263 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 5: What you're doing, in effect, you're putting the blood over 264 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 5: your doorpost. When the enemy comes and sees the blood, 265 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 5: he passes over. When you've accepted the sacrifice of Christ's salvation, 266 00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 5: that's a place of protection. Way and formed against you 267 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 5: will prosper. There is a bloodline that the enemy cannot cross. 268 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 4: If the blood of an animal. 269 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 5: Could keep them safe, how much more so can the 270 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 5: blood of the Son of the Living God. By faith, 271 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 5: we can say I put the blood over my house. 272 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:21,440 Speaker 4: Put the blood. 273 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:24,520 Speaker 5: Over my children, I put the blood over my business. 274 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:28,080 Speaker 5: When you're covered by the blood, the enemy doesn't have 275 00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 5: a choice. He has to pass over. 276 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:31,440 Speaker 3: Now. 277 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 5: I'm not saying that negative things will never happen, You'll 278 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:35,960 Speaker 5: never have a difficulty. 279 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 4: That's not reality. 280 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 5: I'm saying nothing will happen without God's permission. Because of 281 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 5: the blood. There's a hedge around you and your family. 282 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 5: You don't know how many things came against you, But 283 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 5: like the Israelites, because the blood, they had to pass over. 284 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,280 Speaker 5: Maybe sickness was headed you away, but when it saw 285 00:15:58,320 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 5: the blood, it kept on going. 286 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 4: That accident should have taken your life. 287 00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 5: But when the death angel saw the blood, he said, 288 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 5: can't mess with them. I have no authority here. I 289 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 5: have to pass over trouble at work. Forces sent your 290 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 5: way to cause strife and division discord, But when they 291 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,560 Speaker 5: came to your office and saw the blood, they had 292 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:26,640 Speaker 5: to keep on going. Bad habits, addictions sent towards your 293 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:30,040 Speaker 5: children to try to get them off course caused them 294 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 5: to miss their destiny. But when they arrived at your 295 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 5: house and saw the blood, they had to keep on going. 296 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:41,400 Speaker 5: These forces of darkness are not moved by what family 297 00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 5: you come from, by what church you go to, by 298 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 5: how many good deeds you do. What they respond to 299 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 5: is the blood over your life? 300 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,480 Speaker 4: Have you put the blood over your children, over your family, 301 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,640 Speaker 4: over your health? All through the day? Lord, thank you 302 00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 4: that we are covered by your blood. I was a 303 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,720 Speaker 4: little boy. My father used to travel overseas a lot. 304 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,359 Speaker 5: At one point, there were five of us kids at home, 305 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 5: all under the age of twelve. 306 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:11,399 Speaker 4: My mother had her hens fully. 307 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 5: Every time my father went to leave on a trip, 308 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:19,399 Speaker 5: invariably one of us kids would get sick. For weeks, 309 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:22,160 Speaker 5: everything be fine, but as soon as he started packing up, 310 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 5: somebody'd come down with a colder, somebody'd get hurt. 311 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:25,680 Speaker 4: Playing. 312 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:28,920 Speaker 5: One time, my brother Paul was jumping up and down 313 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,720 Speaker 5: on his bed and falling backwards and bouncing back up. 314 00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:35,879 Speaker 5: He miscalculated and went back and hit the headboard, knocked 315 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,960 Speaker 5: himself out, busted his head open. Had to go get stitches, 316 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,080 Speaker 5: and at least now we know what's wrong with him. 317 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:44,920 Speaker 4: But that was that was right before my dad was 318 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:46,639 Speaker 4: going to go on this major trip. 319 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,920 Speaker 5: It seemed like there were all these forces trying to 320 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:54,120 Speaker 5: keep my father from going, and Daddy was so frustrated, 321 00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 5: he said, God, I'm trying to go out and help 322 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:59,480 Speaker 5: the world, and my own family starts falling apart. Next 323 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,840 Speaker 5: time he went to leave, same thing, somebody started to 324 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:05,600 Speaker 5: get sick. This time he decided to do something about it. 325 00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:09,080 Speaker 5: He asked all of us kids to come outside. He 326 00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,359 Speaker 5: had us get in a line, from the oldest to 327 00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 5: the youngest, like we were forming a train. He was 328 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:16,960 Speaker 5: leading it, and he turned around and said, I want 329 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:18,720 Speaker 5: you to follow me and. 330 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:20,159 Speaker 4: Say what I say. 331 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:24,480 Speaker 5: He started marching us around the perimeter of our property, saying, 332 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,240 Speaker 5: we put the blood, we put the blood, we put 333 00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:32,560 Speaker 5: the blood. Neighbors were looking out their windows like that's 334 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:37,080 Speaker 5: one weird family. Carves driving by were honking and waving. 335 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 5: I was only five years old and I was embarrassed. 336 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:45,640 Speaker 5: My father knew no shame. But do you know from 337 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,400 Speaker 5: that day forward when he left, none of us got sick, 338 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:53,400 Speaker 5: none of us got hurt. My brother Paul didn't change, 339 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 5: didn't fix him. But what am I saying today? Put 340 00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 5: the blood over your life, put the blood over your face, 341 00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:02,560 Speaker 5: put the blood over your business. You don't have to 342 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,280 Speaker 5: march around your house, but you can say, father, I 343 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:08,600 Speaker 5: want to thank you that my children, my finances, my health, 344 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:12,040 Speaker 5: my future, that we are all covered by your blood. 345 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:17,000 Speaker 5: In the scripture, there was a young lady that lived 346 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:18,800 Speaker 5: in Jericho named Rayhab. 347 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 4: She was a prostitute. 348 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,920 Speaker 5: She wasn't raised in a family that knew anything about God, 349 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 5: and it looked like she would miss her purpose. All 350 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:31,360 Speaker 5: the odds were against her. But God gives every person 351 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 5: a chance. There will be destiny moments where you can 352 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,359 Speaker 5: make a decision that will set you on a better 353 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:42,800 Speaker 5: course to become who you were created to be. One day, 354 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:46,800 Speaker 5: Joshua sent men in to spy out the city of Jericho. 355 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,160 Speaker 4: Word got out that the spies were there. 356 00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:53,919 Speaker 5: They would have been captured, except Rayhab took these men 357 00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 5: into her home and hid them. When the guards came by, 358 00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:00,359 Speaker 5: she covered for them, said that they weren't there. She 359 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 5: saved their lives. These spies were so grateful. They were 360 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,639 Speaker 5: going to come back with the Israelites and attack the city. 361 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 5: But they gave Rayhab special instructions how she and her 362 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 5: family could be saved. 363 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:15,679 Speaker 4: They told her. 364 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 5: To take a scarlet cord and hang it out the 365 00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,960 Speaker 5: window of her house. Let it reach to the ground 366 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,960 Speaker 5: so it would be easy to see. Then she was 367 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:28,399 Speaker 5: to bring everyone into her house that she wanted to save, 368 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 5: her parents, her children, her family. The spies promised that 369 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:37,040 Speaker 5: no one in that house would be harmed. The Israels 370 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 5: came back to attack the city, but when they saw 371 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:43,640 Speaker 5: the scarlet cord, they knew they had to pass over. 372 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:49,320 Speaker 5: Rayhab and her family were the only ones that were spared. See, 373 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:53,880 Speaker 5: these spies understood the passover. They had heard stories how 374 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:57,120 Speaker 5: their relatives had put the blood over the doorpost, how 375 00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:01,639 Speaker 5: they had been protected. That's why they told as long 376 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:06,120 Speaker 5: as you stay under the scarlet cord, you'll be safe. 377 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:10,480 Speaker 5: The scarlet chord represents the blood, the same principle today. 378 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:12,360 Speaker 4: As long as you keep. 379 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:16,159 Speaker 5: The blood over your life like Rayhab, enemies will have 380 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 5: to pass you by. Sickness will have to pass, Defeat 381 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:23,840 Speaker 5: will have to pass. You're protected by the blood. Genesis, 382 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 5: Chapter four, Eve gave birth to two sons, Cain and Able. 383 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:33,240 Speaker 5: Over time, Kin became very jealous of Abel and eventually 384 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 5: killed him. He came back home and acted like everything 385 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 5: was fine. But God asked him where his brother was. 386 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,600 Speaker 4: Cain said, I don't know. Am I my brother's keeper. 387 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:48,560 Speaker 5: God said to Kin, the voice of your brother's blood 388 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 5: is crying out to me from the ground. God was saying, 389 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,480 Speaker 5: you may have killed the body, but the blood is 390 00:21:56,520 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 5: still speaking. You tried to shut him up. Problem is 391 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 5: you can't shut the blood up. There was nobody to 392 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:09,200 Speaker 5: speak for Abel. His blood became his own attorney. Cain 393 00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:12,320 Speaker 5: thought that he had the last word. He didn't realize 394 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 5: the blood still speaks. When the soldiers crucified Jesus, it 395 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:22,200 Speaker 5: looked like his enemies had finally finished him off. Hanging 396 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:26,920 Speaker 5: on the tree, bruised, beaten, wearing a crown of thorns, 397 00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:31,560 Speaker 5: having been spit upon, mocked and ridiculed, seemed like they 398 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:35,159 Speaker 5: had the last laugh. When Jesus bowed his head and 399 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:39,959 Speaker 5: breathed his last breath, all of heaven went silent. The 400 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:45,960 Speaker 5: angels quit singing, harps quit playing, dancers quit dancing. No music, 401 00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:49,679 Speaker 5: no praise, just an eerie silence. The earth was so 402 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 5: troubled it began to shake an earthquake. The sun turned 403 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:58,119 Speaker 5: its back and refused to look. Three in the afternoon, 404 00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 5: darkness covered the earth. The soldiers who crucified him said, 405 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 5: surely he was the son of God. I can imagine 406 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:10,719 Speaker 5: Satan and the forces of darkness. When they saw Jesus' 407 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:15,320 Speaker 5: blood dripping down into the earth. They thought, finally we 408 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:18,159 Speaker 5: got rid of him, finally we shut him off. We 409 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:22,520 Speaker 5: have proof, here's his own blood. What they didn't realize 410 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 5: is two thousand years later, his blood would still be speaking. 411 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:34,160 Speaker 5: They would have never crucified him had they known. When 412 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 5: we make a mistake, his blood still cries out for mercy. 413 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:42,240 Speaker 4: When we're sick. His blood says, by my stripes, you 414 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 4: were healed. 415 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 5: When we need provision, his blood says, I became poor 416 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,440 Speaker 5: so that you could become well off. His blood is 417 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 5: still crying out for freedom, redemption, salvation, abundance. They may 418 00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:58,800 Speaker 5: have crucified his body, but they couldn't keep his blood 419 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 5: from speaking. As Satan and all the demons are up 420 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 5: there celebrating, giving high fives, confetti's going off, looks like 421 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:09,280 Speaker 5: they just won the super Bowl. 422 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:11,639 Speaker 4: They see this figure start. 423 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,600 Speaker 5: Coming toward them and they can't figure out who he is. 424 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:19,479 Speaker 5: His eyes are like fron his face so brilliant it 425 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 5: radiates like the sun. 426 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:22,159 Speaker 4: Makes them turn away. 427 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 5: And Jesus says to them, you better put the party 428 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 5: on hold. You pop the champagne a little bit too early. 429 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:38,280 Speaker 5: I was dead, but I am alive forevermore. Jesus not 430 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:42,320 Speaker 5: only defeated Satan, but he took away the keys of 431 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 5: death and hell. The scripture says he rendered him powerless. 432 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,160 Speaker 5: One version says he brought him to naught. 433 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:50,400 Speaker 4: Naught is zero. 434 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,399 Speaker 5: You may be facing some obstacles, but the good news 435 00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,920 Speaker 5: is the Blood still speaks for you. The blood says 436 00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:00,480 Speaker 5: you're more than a conquer The blood he says you 437 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:01,919 Speaker 5: can do all things through Christ. 438 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:03,720 Speaker 4: The Blood says, the forces that. 439 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 5: Are for you are greater than the forces that are 440 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:10,879 Speaker 5: against you. So when we make mistakes in life, we 441 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:14,520 Speaker 5: can live guilty and condemned, or we can let the 442 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:18,160 Speaker 5: blood speak for us. Father, thank you that I am forgiven. 443 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:22,199 Speaker 5: I'll receive your mercy. When we face an illness, we 444 00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:24,840 Speaker 5: can accept it as our lot in life, or we 445 00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:26,200 Speaker 5: can let the blood speak. 446 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 4: Father. 447 00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 5: Thank you that you were wounded for my transgressions by 448 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:31,240 Speaker 5: your stripes. 449 00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:31,920 Speaker 4: I am healed. 450 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,960 Speaker 5: When people come against us, we can get upset, try 451 00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:38,399 Speaker 5: to pay them back, or we can let the blood speak. Father, 452 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:41,440 Speaker 5: thank you that you're my vindicator. You said the trap 453 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,200 Speaker 5: the enemy sent for me, they would fall in themselves. 454 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:46,520 Speaker 4: Cain was a farmer. 455 00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 5: He spent his life planning seeds and working the ground. 456 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 5: He invited Abel out into his field and that's where 457 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:58,879 Speaker 5: he killed him. Abel's blood went down into the earth. 458 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 5: Told Cain, from now on, you won't be able to 459 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:09,000 Speaker 5: produce any crops on this land because the innocent blood 460 00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:11,920 Speaker 5: of your brother went into the earth. It has put 461 00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:15,520 Speaker 5: a stop to what you used to do. This is 462 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:19,479 Speaker 5: symbolic of what Jesus did for us. He left heaven 463 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:23,760 Speaker 5: and came into the enemy's land when he shed his 464 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:27,959 Speaker 5: innocent blood on Calvary. That blood went down into the 465 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:31,200 Speaker 5: earth and what the enemy used to be able to do. 466 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,920 Speaker 4: Because the blood has been there, it's not going to 467 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:35,680 Speaker 4: work anymore. 468 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,920 Speaker 5: Things that used to grow in you, so to speak, addictions, 469 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:41,159 Speaker 5: bad habit to temper. 470 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:45,199 Speaker 4: The blood has canceled that out. There are seeds that 471 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:46,080 Speaker 4: were planted in. 472 00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:48,960 Speaker 5: Us as a child by the enemy to try to 473 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:52,080 Speaker 5: get us off course as an adult, and normally they 474 00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:54,400 Speaker 5: just grown and become a part of who we are. 475 00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:58,200 Speaker 5: But because the blood has been there, it has put 476 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:01,639 Speaker 5: a stop to it. And instead of accepting things that 477 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,639 Speaker 5: you know are less than God's best, why don't you 478 00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:07,920 Speaker 5: start saying, Father, I want to thank you that the 479 00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:12,359 Speaker 5: blood that your son Jesus shed has canceled out every 480 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:14,399 Speaker 5: negative seed in my life. 481 00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:16,520 Speaker 4: Father, thank you whatever it is that. 482 00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:20,720 Speaker 5: Has canceled this addiction, this depression, this spirit of lack. Lord, 483 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,640 Speaker 5: I want to thank you that I am free. When 484 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:27,639 Speaker 5: you thank God for the blood, the enemies tremble. The 485 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:31,560 Speaker 5: blood reminds them of their defeat. It reminds them that 486 00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:34,600 Speaker 5: what they used to be able to do, they cannot 487 00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:39,119 Speaker 5: do anymore. John said in Revelation we overcome by the 488 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:42,760 Speaker 5: blood of the lad I'm asking you to keep this 489 00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:46,680 Speaker 5: blood over your life, over your children, over your business, 490 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:50,840 Speaker 5: over your future. If you'll do this, God promises he 491 00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:54,320 Speaker 5: will protect you. He'll cause things to pass over you. 492 00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:58,200 Speaker 5: Now I believe and declare, because the blood. 493 00:27:57,920 --> 00:27:58,880 Speaker 4: Is still speaking. 494 00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:04,040 Speaker 5: Every rational curse is being broken, strongholds are coming down. 495 00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:06,879 Speaker 5: What's held you back in the past will hold you 496 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:12,440 Speaker 5: back no more. I speak victory. I speak breakthroughs, health, restoration, 497 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:17,159 Speaker 5: the fullness of your destiny in Jesus's name, And if 498 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:22,439 Speaker 5: you receive it today, can you say it? Then? We 499 00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:25,399 Speaker 5: never like to close our broadcast without giving you an 500 00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:29,040 Speaker 5: opportunity to make Jesus the lord of your life. Would 501 00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:33,879 Speaker 5: you pray with me. Just say, Lord Jesus, I'll repent 502 00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:38,640 Speaker 5: of my sins. Come into my heart.
