1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:02,160 Speaker 1: Hi, this is Joel and Victoria. 2 00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:05,279 Speaker 2: Thanks for listening to our podcast and thanks for supporting 3 00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:08,239 Speaker 2: the ministry.

Well, 6 00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:17,279 Speaker 2: God bless you. It's a joy to come into your homes. 7 00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:20,360 Speaker 2: And if you're ever in our area, please stop buying. 8 00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:22,840 Speaker 2: Be a part of one of our services. These are 9 00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:25,880 Speaker 2: the finest people in Houston, Texas, right here at Lakewood. 10 00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:29,200 Speaker 2: But glad to have you come out. Sometimes I like 11 00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:30,360 Speaker 2: to start with something funny. 12 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:32,040 Speaker 1: And I heard about this pastor. 13 00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:34,920 Speaker 2: He was new in town and he was going door 14 00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,519 Speaker 2: to door inviting people to come to his church. And 15 00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,239 Speaker 2: he knocked on this one door and he could tell 16 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:42,680 Speaker 2: someone was there, but nobody would answer. 17 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:44,720 Speaker 1: So he took his church card out. 18 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:48,120 Speaker 2: And wrote on the back the scripture reference Revelation three 19 00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:51,440 Speaker 2: twenty and left it on the door. The next Sunday 20 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:55,400 Speaker 2: after service, and Usher handed him the same card. Under 21 00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 2: what he had written was the scripture reference Genesis three ten. 22 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 2: Here's what they say the pastor's words, Revelation three twenty. Behold, 23 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 2: I stand at the door and knock. If anyone answers, 24 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 2: I will come in. The reply was Genesis three ten. 25 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 2: It says I heard your voice, but I was afraid 26 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:15,040 Speaker 2: because I was naked. 27 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 1: Say it like you mean it. This is my Bible. 28 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 1: I am what it says. I am. 29 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,280 Speaker 2: I have what it says I have. I can do 30 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 2: what it says I can do. Today I will be 31 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,760 Speaker 2: talked the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind 32 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,959 Speaker 2: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be 33 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 2: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want 34 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 2: to talk to you today about the power of the blood. 35 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,959 Speaker 2: In the Old Testament, the only way they could have 36 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 2: forgiveness for sins was to sacrifice an animal without the 37 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:55,280 Speaker 2: shedding of blood, there was no remission for sin. Every year, 38 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 2: the high priest would go into the Holy of Holies, 39 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 2: that was the most sacred place in the Temple. He 40 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 2: would offer a sacrifice for his sins in the sins 41 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,360 Speaker 2: of all the people. It was called the day of atonement. 42 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:13,359 Speaker 2: If the sacrifice was acceptable, their sins would not be 43 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 2: taken away, they would be covered. They were good for 44 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 2: another year. This was an ongoing process and the priests 45 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,920 Speaker 2: had to make sure everything was perfect, that the animal 46 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 2: didn't have spot or blemishes, that it was the right age, 47 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 2: all these requirements. If they didn't meet the requirements, the 48 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 2: sacrifice wouldn't be acceptable. They wouldn't have God's blessing. This 49 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,240 Speaker 2: is the constant pressure they lived under. 50 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,519 Speaker 1: Is our sin going to be forgiven for this year? 51 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,519 Speaker 2: Is the sacrifice going to be good enough? The blood 52 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 2: of animals only offered them temporary forgiveness. But God told 53 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 2: Abraham there was a day coming that he was going 54 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 2: to get rid of the old covenant, or the old 55 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,359 Speaker 2: way of doing things. God was saying, it was fine 56 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 2: for a time, but I'm going to make a new 57 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:08,920 Speaker 2: covenant to permanently take care of sin. The problem is 58 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 2: it couldn't happen with the blood of bulls and goats. 59 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 2: That wasn't good enough. It was going to take a 60 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 2: special kind of sacrifice. One day, John the Baptist was 61 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 2: out ministeringing. He saw Jesus coming and said, look the 62 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 2: lamb of God. 63 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,800 Speaker 1: Who takes away the sin of the world. 64 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 2: John knew that Jesus was the sacrifice that God told 65 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 2: Abraham about. Jesus was God's lamb when he died on 66 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 2: the cross and shed his blood. It says in Hebrews 67 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 2: that he went once and for all into the Holy 68 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 2: of Holies, not with the blood of bulls and goats, 69 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 2: but with his own blood to secure a complete redemption 70 00:03:55,440 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 2: for us. All one translation says an everlasting relation from 71 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 2: our sins. His blood put an end to the old 72 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 2: system of sacrificing again and again hoping that we would 73 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 2: be forgiven. Now we can live with the confidence that 74 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 2: all of our sins, past, present, and future have not 75 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 2: just been covered, not just temporarily atoned for, they have 76 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 2: been washed away. 77 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 1: We have an everlasting release. This is the power of 78 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 1: the blood. 79 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 2: When Jesus hung on the cross, suspended between heaven and Earth, 80 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:41,480 Speaker 2: he took all of our mistakes, all of our failures 81 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:45,039 Speaker 2: and weaknesses, all of the times we've blown it and 82 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 2: the times we ever will blow it, and he forgave it. 83 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,039 Speaker 2: The good news is not that God will forgive you. 84 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:56,039 Speaker 2: The good news is He has already forgiven you. Like 85 00:04:56,200 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 2: John declared, the lamb of God has taken away the 86 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 2: sin of the world. Now, this sacrifice won't do you 87 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 2: any good if you don't receive it. If you go 88 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:13,160 Speaker 2: around guilty, condemned, trying to pay God back for your mistakes. 89 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 1: No, the price has already been paid. 90 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 2: Receive his mercy, receive his love every day. Father, thank 91 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 2: you that I am forgiven, Thank you that I am redeemed. 92 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 2: The accuser will tell you just the opposite. God's not 93 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 2: going to forgive you. 94 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 1: Look what you've done. Look at the way you lived. 95 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 1: You knew better than that. 96 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:41,040 Speaker 2: It's easy to believe these lies go around with a heaviness, 97 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 2: with no passion for life. I talked to a gentleman recently, 98 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 2: and he was so down on himself, telling me all 99 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 2: the mistakes that he had made. Here's my question, do 100 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 2: you think your mistake was too much for the blood 101 00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 2: that Christ shed? Do you think what you've done somehow 102 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 2: has tipped the scales? And now God is thinking, Oh, 103 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 2: didn't see that one coming. I should have sent a 104 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 2: better sacrifice. I could understand this reasoning. If we were 105 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 2: still offering the blood of bulls and goats, maybe we 106 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 2: didn't get the right kind of animal, maybe we didn't 107 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:19,600 Speaker 2: meet all the requirements. 108 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,160 Speaker 1: Friends, those days are gone. 109 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 2: You've been redeemed by the sinless, spotless. 110 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:30,839 Speaker 1: All powerful son of the Living God. That's not ordinary blood. 111 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,560 Speaker 1: That's blood that defeated the enemy. 112 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 2: It's blood that crushed Satan's head, blood that took the 113 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 2: keys of death in hell, blood that causes the demons 114 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 2: to tremble. 115 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:45,840 Speaker 1: It's not average, typical blood. 116 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:51,280 Speaker 2: It's blood that open blind eyes, cured the lepers, walked 117 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 2: on water, calmed the seas. It's the blood that restored 118 00:06:56,040 --> 00:07:00,080 Speaker 2: the woman caught in adultery. It's blood that forgave the 119 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:04,480 Speaker 2: people who crucified him. What am I saying, No mistake 120 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,840 Speaker 2: you've made is too much for this blood. Shake off 121 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 2: the guilt, Quit living condemned, feeling like you're washed up. 122 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 1: And receive the forgiveness. 123 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 2: We're under the better Covenant, the New Covenant. No more 124 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 2: do we have to rely on the blood of bulls 125 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 2: and goats, wondering if our sins will be forgiven, hoping 126 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 2: we can get some kind of temporary atonement. Because of 127 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 2: the blood that Christ shed, our sins have been permanently 128 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 2: taken care of. This is what Paul said in Second Corinthians. 129 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 2: God is not counting your sins against you. 130 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 1: He has blotted them out. 131 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 2: Too many people live condemned, always thinking about their past mistakes. 132 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 1: They've asked God. 133 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 2: To forgive them every day for the same thing for 134 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 2: the last four years. They don't realize the first time 135 00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 2: you asked God forgave you, he's saying, I'm not counting 136 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 2: that against you. 137 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 1: I've already blotted it out. If God let it go, 138 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 1: Why don't you let it go? 139 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 2: Why don't you forgive yourself and move forward with your life. 140 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 2: As long as you're looking backwards, living in regrets, beating 141 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 2: yourself up over past mistakes, you will never step into 142 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 2: the new things God has in store. It's easy to 143 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 2: go through life looking in the rear view mirror, thinking 144 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 2: about what you should have done better, what didn't work out. 145 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,680 Speaker 2: But the reason the rear view mirror is so small 146 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 2: and your front windshield is so big is because where 147 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,560 Speaker 2: you've been is not nearly as important. 148 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,680 Speaker 1: As where you're going. Get rid of the rearview mirror. 149 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:49,440 Speaker 2: You've been redeemed, you've been restored. God didn't just cover 150 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 2: your sins. He blotted them out. He's not holding them 151 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 2: against you. Isaiah put it this way, like a thick cloud, 152 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 2: God has blotted out our sins. Think of your mistakes, 153 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 2: your failures as a thick fog. 154 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:06,560 Speaker 1: You can barely see anything. 155 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,200 Speaker 2: Some mornings you wake up and you can hardly see 156 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:12,840 Speaker 2: the house across the street. Then when the sun comes out, 157 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:17,560 Speaker 2: that fog in a few minutes burns off. It doesn't 158 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,320 Speaker 2: blow away, it doesn't move to the next city. 159 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 1: It evaporates. The sun causes it to vanish. 160 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 2: We all make mistakes and have times that our life 161 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:31,960 Speaker 2: is clouded by poor choices, clouded by sin. But when 162 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 2: you ask God to forgive you, the sun comes out, 163 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 2: so n he causes his light to shine and cause 164 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:43,680 Speaker 2: that sin to evaporate. It's gone, He says, he will 165 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:45,440 Speaker 2: not remember. 166 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:46,080 Speaker 1: Our sins anymore. 167 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 2: My challenge quit remembering what God has forgotten. Quit bringing 168 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 2: up what's already been evaporated. 169 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 1: When you dwell on the. 170 00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 2: Past and relive your mistakes, all that's doing is causing 171 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 2: a new cloud to form. 172 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 1: It's real simple. God is for. 173 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:07,679 Speaker 2: You, the enemy is against you. You get to cast 174 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 2: the deciding vote. Which direction are you going to go? 175 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 2: Believe the lies, live guilty, Think you couldn't be good 176 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,439 Speaker 2: enough for God to accept you. It says in Ephesians 177 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 2: that God has already accepted you. He's already blotted out 178 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 2: your sins, He's already shed his blood. The question is 179 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 2: will you receive it, Will you put your shoulders back, 180 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,320 Speaker 2: hold your head up high, and start acting like a 181 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 2: child of the Most High God, letting the sun shine 182 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 2: in your life. After all that Christ has done for us, 183 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,960 Speaker 2: after the incredible price he paid on the cross, it 184 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 2: doesn't bring him any honor for us to go around 185 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 2: feeling unworthy, condemned. 186 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 1: I can imagine God saying to the angels. 187 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:58,439 Speaker 2: I sent my son, I gave my best, he paid 188 00:10:58,440 --> 00:10:59,960 Speaker 2: the ultimate sacrifice. 189 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:01,080 Speaker 1: What more could I do? 190 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 2: Now, Let's do our part and start believing that we 191 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 2: are redeemed, that we are forgiven, that we have an 192 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 2: everlasting release from our sins. For hundreds of years, the 193 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 2: Israelites were in slavery, and God sent plague after plague 194 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 2: upon the people that were holding them, but Pharaoh wouldn't 195 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 2: change his mind. This last pledge was going to be 196 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 2: very devastating. The first born male of all their captors 197 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 2: was going to be killed during the night, from the 198 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:36,560 Speaker 2: firstborn son of the pharaoh down to the firstborn son 199 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 2: of the poorest person. Even the firstborn of all their 200 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:43,959 Speaker 2: animals were going to be destroyed. But God gave the 201 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 2: Israelites special instructions how to be protected from this plague. 202 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,959 Speaker 2: Each man was to take a lamb for their family. 203 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,680 Speaker 2: Had to be a one year old male without spot 204 00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:00,319 Speaker 2: or blemish, and they were to sacrifice that lamb at 205 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 2: dusk and take some of the blood and put it 206 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 2: on the top of their door and. 207 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 1: Some on the sides of the doorframe. 208 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 2: God said, when I see the blood over your doorpost, 209 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,080 Speaker 2: I will know that you belong to me, and I 210 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,840 Speaker 2: will pass over your house. No harm will come near 211 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 2: you when I destroy your enemies. You can imagine how 212 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 2: careful they must have been to follow these instructions. I 213 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 2: can hear the kids asking, Dad, did you put the 214 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 2: blood on the doorpost yet? The wife said, let's go 215 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 2: double check. Let's make sure it's still there. 216 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:37,600 Speaker 1: At midnight. 217 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:41,679 Speaker 2: When the death Angel came through the land, wherever he 218 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 2: saw the blood, he passed over. 219 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:45,199 Speaker 1: They were protected. 220 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,720 Speaker 2: My question today is have you put this blood over 221 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:50,320 Speaker 2: your house? 222 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 1: Have you taken the lamb? 223 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:56,440 Speaker 2: The sacrifice has already been made. We don't have to 224 00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 2: do it physically like they did. We're under the new Covenant, 225 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:01,560 Speaker 2: but the principle is still the same. 226 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,319 Speaker 1: When you say, as for me and my house, we 227 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 1: will serve the Lord. 228 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 2: What you're doing in effect, you're putting the blood over 229 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 2: your door post. When the enemy comes and sees the blood, 230 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 2: he passes over. When you've accepted the sacrifice of Christ's salvation, 231 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 2: that's a place of protection. No weapon formed against you 232 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 2: will prosper. There is a bloodline that the enemy cannot cross. 233 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 2: If the blood of an animal could keep them safe, 234 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 2: how much more so can the blood of the son 235 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:42,640 Speaker 2: of the Living God. By faith, we can say, I 236 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 2: put the blood over my house, put the blood over 237 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:49,480 Speaker 2: my children, I put the blood over my business. When 238 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:53,319 Speaker 2: you're covered by the blood, the enemy doesn't have a choice. 239 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:54,560 Speaker 1: He has to pass over. 240 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,720 Speaker 2: Now, I'm not saying that negative things will never happen, 241 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 2: You'll never have a dip oculty. 242 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:01,679 Speaker 1: That's not reality. 243 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 2: I'm saying nothing will happen without God's permission. Because of 244 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,800 Speaker 2: the blood. There's a hedge around you and your family. 245 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:15,240 Speaker 2: You don't know how many things came against you, But 246 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,960 Speaker 2: like the Israelites, because the blood, they had to pass over. 247 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 2: Maybe sickness was headed you away, but when it saw 248 00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:24,280 Speaker 2: the blood, it kept on going. 249 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 1: That accident should have taken your life. 250 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 2: But when the death angel saw the blood, he said, 251 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 2: can't mess with them. I have no authority here. I 252 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 2: have to pass over trouble at work. Forces sent you 253 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:43,680 Speaker 2: away to cause strife and division discord, But when they 254 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 2: came to your office and saw the blood, they had 255 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:51,080 Speaker 2: to keep on going. Bad habits, addictions sent towards your 256 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,480 Speaker 2: children to try to get them off course caused them 257 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 2: to miss their destiny. But when they arrived at your 258 00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 2: house and saw the blood, they had to keep on going. 259 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 2: These forces of darkness are not moved by what family 260 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 2: you come from, by what church you go to, by 261 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 2: how many good deeds you do. 262 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,280 Speaker 1: What they respond to is the blood over your life. 263 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 2: Have you put the blood over your children, over your family, 264 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:19,000 Speaker 2: over your health? 265 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 1: All through the day, Lord, Thank you that we are 266 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:23,360 Speaker 1: covered by your blood. 267 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 2: When I was a little boy, my father used to 268 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 2: travel overseas a lot. At one point, there were five 269 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,680 Speaker 2: of us kids at home, all under the age of twelve. 270 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 2: My mother had her hands full. Every time my father 271 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:41,520 Speaker 2: went to leave on a trip. Invariably one of us 272 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 2: kids would get sick. For weeks, everything be fine, but 273 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 2: as soon as he started packing up, somebody'd come down 274 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:51,120 Speaker 2: with the colder, somebody'd get hurt playing. One time, my 275 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 2: brother Paul was jumping up and down on his bed 276 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:57,960 Speaker 2: and falling backwards and bouncing back up. He miscalculated and 277 00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 2: went back and hit the headboard, knocked himself out, busted 278 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:03,960 Speaker 2: his head open, had to go get stitches, and at 279 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:05,960 Speaker 2: least now we know what's wrong with him. But that 280 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 2: was that was right before my dad was going to 281 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 2: go on this major trip. It seemed like there were 282 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,760 Speaker 2: all these forces trying to keep my father from going. 283 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 1: Daddy was so frustrating. 284 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 2: He said, God, I'm trying to go out and help 285 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:23,960 Speaker 2: the world, and my own family starts falling apart. Next 286 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,320 Speaker 2: time he went to leave, same thing, somebody started to 287 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 2: get sick. This time he decided to do something about it. 288 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 2: He asked all of us kids to come outside. He 289 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:35,800 Speaker 2: had us get in a line, from the oldest to 290 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,240 Speaker 2: the youngest, like we were forming a train. 291 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:39,720 Speaker 1: He was leading it. 292 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 2: He turned around and said, I want you to follow 293 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 2: me and say what I say. He started marching us 294 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 2: around the perimeter of our property, saying, we. 295 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:52,200 Speaker 1: Put the blood, we put the blood, we put the blood. 296 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 2: Neighbors were looking out their windows like, that's one weird 297 00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 2: family carves driving We're honking and waving. 298 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 1: I was only five, years old, and I was embarrassed. 299 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 1: My father knew no shame. 300 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,639 Speaker 2: But do you know from that day forward when he left, 301 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:13,800 Speaker 2: none of us got sick, none of. 302 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:18,640 Speaker 1: Us got hurt. My brother Paul didn't change, didn't fix him. 303 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:22,360 Speaker 2: But what am I saying today? Put the blood over 304 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,320 Speaker 2: your life, put the blood over your family, put the 305 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,679 Speaker 2: blood over your business. You don't have to march around 306 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,119 Speaker 2: your house, but you can say, Father, I want to 307 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:34,080 Speaker 2: thank you that my children, my finances, my health, my future, 308 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:39,399 Speaker 2: that we are all covered by your blood. In the scripture, 309 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,160 Speaker 2: there was a young lady that lived in Jericho named Rayhab. 310 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:45,040 Speaker 1: She was a prostitute. 311 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:48,399 Speaker 2: She wasn't raised in a family that knew anything about God, 312 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 2: and it looked like she would miss her purpose. All 313 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 2: the odds were against her. But God gives every person 314 00:17:55,920 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 2: a chance. There will be destiny moments where you can 315 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,800 Speaker 2: make a decision that will set you on a better 316 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:07,280 Speaker 2: course to become who you were created to be. One day, 317 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:10,800 Speaker 2: Joshua sent men in to spy out the city of Jericho. 318 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 2: Word got out that the spies were there. They would 319 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 2: have been captured, except Rayhab took these men into her. 320 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 1: Home and hid them. 321 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,359 Speaker 2: When the guards came by, She covered for them, said 322 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:27,360 Speaker 2: that they weren't there. She saved their lives. These spies 323 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,159 Speaker 2: were so grateful. They were going to come back with 324 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,720 Speaker 2: the Israelites and attack the city, but they gave Rayhab 325 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:38,240 Speaker 2: special instructions how she and her family could be saved. 326 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:40,119 Speaker 1: They told her. 327 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:43,239 Speaker 2: To take a scarlet cord and hang it out the 328 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,480 Speaker 2: window of her house. Let it reach to the ground 329 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,439 Speaker 2: so it would be easy to see. Then she was 330 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,840 Speaker 2: to bring everyone into her house that she wanted to save, 331 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 2: her parents, her children, her family. The spies promised that 332 00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:01,480 Speaker 2: no one in that house would be harmed. The Israelites 333 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 2: came back to attack the city, but when they saw 334 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 2: the scarlet cord, they knew. 335 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:08,119 Speaker 1: They had to pass over. 336 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:13,760 Speaker 2: Rayhab and her family were the only ones that were spared. See, 337 00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 2: these spies understood the passover. They had heard stories how 338 00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 2: their relatives had put the blood over the doorpost, how 339 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:25,720 Speaker 2: they had been protected. That's why they told Rayhab, as 340 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:30,639 Speaker 2: long as you stay under the scarlet cord, you'll be safe. 341 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:34,959 Speaker 2: The scarlet cord represents the blood, the same principle today. 342 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:38,240 Speaker 2: As long as you keep the blood over your life 343 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 2: like Rayhab, enemies will have to pass. You by sickness 344 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 2: will have to pass. Defeat will have to pass. You're 345 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:46,480 Speaker 2: protected by the blood. 346 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 1: Genesis, Chapter four. 347 00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:54,040 Speaker 2: Eve gave birth to two sons, Cain and Abelem. Over time, 348 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 2: Cain became very jealous of Abel and eventually killed him. 349 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,040 Speaker 2: He came back and acted like everything was fine. 350 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 1: But God asked him where his brother was. Cain said, 351 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,040 Speaker 1: I don't know. Am I my brother's keeper. 352 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 2: God said to Cain, the voice of your brother's blood 353 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:17,439 Speaker 2: is crying out to me from the ground. God was saying, 354 00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 2: you may have killed the body, but the blood is 355 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 2: still speaking. You tried to shut him up. The problem 356 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:28,560 Speaker 2: is you can't shut the blood up. There was nobody 357 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 2: to speak for Abel. His blood became his own attorney. 358 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,240 Speaker 2: Cain thought that he had the last word. He didn't 359 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:41,440 Speaker 2: realize the blood still speaks. When the soldiers crucified Jesus, 360 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 2: it looked like his enemies had finally finished him off. 361 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 1: Hanging on the tree, bruised, beaten, wearing. 362 00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:54,440 Speaker 2: A crown of thorns, having been spit upon, mocked and ridiculed, 363 00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 2: seemed like they had the last laugh. When Jesus bowed 364 00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:02,199 Speaker 2: his head and he read his last breath, all of 365 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:07,240 Speaker 2: heaven went silent. The angels quit singing, harps quit playing, 366 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:12,560 Speaker 2: dancers quit dancing, No music, no praise, just an eerie silence. 367 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:17,119 Speaker 2: The earth was so troubled it began to shake an earthquake. 368 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:21,800 Speaker 2: The sun turned its back and refused to look. Three 369 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:25,440 Speaker 2: in the afternoon, darkness covered the earth. The soldiers who 370 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,920 Speaker 2: crucified him said, surely he was the son of God. 371 00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:33,680 Speaker 2: I can imagine Satan and the forces of darkness. When 372 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:38,240 Speaker 2: they saw Jesus' blood dripping down into the earth, they thought, 373 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,800 Speaker 2: finally we got rid of him, finally we. 374 00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,520 Speaker 1: Shut him off. We have prooved. Here's his own blood. 375 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:49,199 Speaker 2: What they didn't realize is two thousand years later, his 376 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:55,800 Speaker 2: blood would still be speaking. They would have never crucified 377 00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:57,680 Speaker 2: him had they known. 378 00:21:58,440 --> 00:21:59,240 Speaker 1: When we make a. 379 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:04,159 Speaker 2: Mistake, his blood still cries out for mercy, when we're sick. 380 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:08,160 Speaker 2: His blood says, by my stripes, you were here when 381 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:12,120 Speaker 2: we need provision. His blood says, I became poor so 382 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,200 Speaker 2: that you could become well off. His blood is still 383 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 2: crying out for freedom, redemption, salvation, abundance. They may have 384 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:24,760 Speaker 2: crucified his body, but they couldn't keep his blood from speaking. Now, 385 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:28,120 Speaker 2: as Satan and All the demons are up there celebrating, 386 00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:32,639 Speaker 2: giving high fives, confetti's going off. Looks like they just 387 00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:36,160 Speaker 2: won the super Bowl. They see this figure start coming 388 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 2: toward them and they can't figure out who he is. 389 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:43,919 Speaker 2: His eyes are like fron his face so brilliant it 390 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:47,879 Speaker 2: radiates like the sun. Makes them turn away, and Jesus 391 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:51,199 Speaker 2: says to them, you better put the party on hold. 392 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,240 Speaker 1: You pop the champagne. A little bit too early. 393 00:22:54,640 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 2: I was dead, but I am alive forevermore. Jesus not 394 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:06,800 Speaker 2: only defeated Satan, but he took away the keys of 395 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 2: death and hell. The scripture says he rendered him powerless. 396 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 2: One version says he brought him to naught. 397 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:14,919 Speaker 1: Naught is zero. 398 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,840 Speaker 2: You may be facing some obstacles, but the good news 399 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,399 Speaker 2: is the Blood still speaks for you. The Blood says 400 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,120 Speaker 2: you're more than a conquer The blood says you can 401 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 2: do all things through Christ. The Blood says the forces 402 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 2: that are for you are greater than the forces that 403 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 2: are against you. So when we make mistakes in life, 404 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:38,200 Speaker 2: we can live guilty and condemned, or. 405 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:40,160 Speaker 1: We can let the Blood speak for us. 406 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:44,920 Speaker 2: Father, thank you that I am forgiven. I'll receive your mercy. 407 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 2: When we face an illness, we can accept it as 408 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,640 Speaker 2: our lot in life, or we can let the blood speak. 409 00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:52,440 Speaker 1: Father, thank you that. 410 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:55,680 Speaker 2: You were wounded for my transgressions by your stripes. 411 00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 1: I am healed. 412 00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:59,400 Speaker 2: When people come against us, we can get upset, try 413 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,840 Speaker 2: to pay him back, or we can let the blood speak. Father, 414 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,920 Speaker 2: thank you that you're my vindicator. You said the trap 415 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:07,480 Speaker 2: the enemy sent for me, they. 416 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 1: Would fall in themselves. Cain was a farmer. 417 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:15,240 Speaker 2: He spent his life planting seeds and working the ground. 418 00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 2: He invited Abel out into his field, and that's where 419 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 2: he killed him. Abel's blood went down into the earth. 420 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:28,160 Speaker 2: God told Cain, from now on, you won't be able 421 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:32,960 Speaker 2: to produce any crops on this land. Because the innocent 422 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:36,160 Speaker 2: blood of your brother went into the earth. It has 423 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 2: put a stop to what you used to do. This 424 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:43,480 Speaker 2: is symbolic of what Jesus did for us. He left 425 00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:48,040 Speaker 2: heaven and came into the enemy's land when he shed 426 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 2: his innocent blood on Calvary. That blood went down into 427 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:55,240 Speaker 2: the earth and what the enemy used to be able 428 00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:59,040 Speaker 2: to do. Because the blood has been there, it's not 429 00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:02,840 Speaker 2: going to work anymore. Things that used to grow in you, 430 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 2: so to speak. Addictions bad habits to temper. The blood 431 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:10,360 Speaker 2: has canceled that out. There are seeds that were planted 432 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 2: in us as a child by the enemy to try 433 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:16,399 Speaker 2: to get us off course as an adult, and normally 434 00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:18,880 Speaker 2: they just grown and become a part of who we are. 435 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,640 Speaker 2: But because the blood has been there, it is put 436 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:26,000 Speaker 2: a stop to it. And in instead of accepting things 437 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:29,000 Speaker 2: that you know are less than God's best, why don't 438 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:32,160 Speaker 2: you start saying, Father, I want to thank you that 439 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:36,280 Speaker 2: the blood that your son Jesus shed has canceled out 440 00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:38,879 Speaker 2: every negative seed in my life. 441 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:40,880 Speaker 1: Father, thank you whatever it is. 442 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:45,160 Speaker 2: That has canceled this addiction, this depression, this spirit of lack. Lord, 443 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:46,320 Speaker 2: I want to thank you. 444 00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:47,200 Speaker 1: That I am free. 445 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:51,360 Speaker 2: When you thank God for the blood, the enemies tremble. 446 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:55,880 Speaker 2: The blood reminds them of their defeat. It reminds them 447 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,600 Speaker 2: that what they used to be able to do, they 448 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:03,480 Speaker 2: cannot do anymore. John said in Revelation we overcome by 449 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 2: the blood of the lad I'm asking you to keep 450 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:11,120 Speaker 2: this blood over your life, over your children, over your business, 451 00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:15,240 Speaker 2: over your future. If you'll do this, God promises he 452 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:16,280 Speaker 2: will protect you. 453 00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:18,920 Speaker 1: He'll cause things to pass over you. 454 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:23,359 Speaker 2: Now I believe and declare because the blood is still speaking. 455 00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:28,520 Speaker 2: Every generational curse is being broken. Strongholds are coming down. 456 00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:31,320 Speaker 2: What's held you back in the past will hold you 457 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:36,880 Speaker 2: back no more. I speak victory, I speak breakthroughs, health, restoration, 458 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:41,640 Speaker 2: the fullness of your destiny in Jesus' name, And if 459 00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:47,200 Speaker 2: you receive it today, can you say amen? We never 460 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:50,600 Speaker 2: like to close our broadcast without giving you an opportunity 461 00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,639 Speaker 2: to make Jesus the lord of your life. Would you 462 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:58,439 Speaker 2: pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus, I'll repent of 463 00:26:58,480 --> 00:26:59,120 Speaker 2: my sins. 464 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:04,240 Speaker 1: Come into my heart. I'll make you my Lord and savior. 465 00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,480 Speaker 2: Friends, if you prayed that simple prayer, we believe you 466 00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:11,560 Speaker 2: got born again.
