THE BLOOD STILL WORKS

THE BLOOD STILL WORKS

Matt. 27:31 after they mocked Him, they took the robe off Him and put His own clothes on Him. Then they led Him away to crucify Him, (He purchased us with His life.). 

We should not worry about our lives after all our lives belong to Jesus. He bought us with His wounds of ardent grace; and for that reason, we should live for Him.  We cannot do as we wish with something that does not belong to us; we must sacrifice our worldly desire and live by the instruction our Father has given us. Many believers sacrifice their time, money, and energy doing good works for God. However, we must be careful not to let our sacrifices take precedence over our obedience.   If we would obey God’s Word as it is written; we would have no alcoholics, drug addiction, corrupt politicians, homelessness, homosexuality, obesity, children sold as sex slaves, or deadly diseases; our sacrifices will not help us in this area of our lives, only our obedience to the Word.  Because of sinful nature and our disobedience we open ourselves to all types of sins and problems which all leads to death.  For us to live in eternity we must walk in the Spirit and obedience, if we are walking in the Spirit and obedience, we have made the ULTIMATE SACRIFICE. (To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams” 1 Samuel 15:22).

Father, we possess the most powerful tool in the world that will help us become the people You designed us to be;  please give us the desire to study the Word so that we can live a righteous life.  Lord, believers know that Your Word has changed countless lives, and the Blood still works; but we must use it.  Father, help us serve You and others by spreading Your Word in truth to draw the lost near to You.  Lord help our Spiritual Leaders and teachers realize that no transformation of the soul comes from our understanding but through Your Word and the Holy Spirit.  Lord, we are just vessels moved by the Holy Spirit, and we are to use Your WORDS to speak the TRUTH to others.  Father, thank You for the Holy Spirit that corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us through Spiritual Fruit what is right.  Lord, thank You for equipping us with the power of the Spirit to obey You and change our lives.  Father, Your Word is timeless, personal, and powerful, because it is a living organism that comes straight from You.  Lord, show this lost world that You are the answer to all our problems, all we have to do is make You the Head of our lives; and You will tend to our deepest needs, give us guidance, comfort, encouragement, and HOPE, just as You promised.  Lord, we know that You love us and You want to save us from the destructive power of sin if it is our will to be saved.  Father, You have brought meaning to our lives, and we are so, so grateful in Jesus name Amen.
