In a
court of law there is a legal case between two opposing parties. A dispute
between a defendant and an accuser - civil or criminal. Occasionally, there is
opportunity for a settlement or plea bargain. In either case, there is a
thorough investigation and evaluation of evidence to prove what is truth with
“respect to claims of guilt, innocence, liability, or lack of fault.” The last
2 weeks I have been diving into the many aspects of the sacred blood of Jesus
Christ. In particular, as it is used in spiritual warfare as a weapon against
the Accuser. I appreciate the visual of a court of law standing as a defendant
against my Accuser. I see the person of Jesus Christ as my representative in
supreme authority as the plea of His blood is released in power; declaring the
Accuser defeated. To plead the blood of Jesus Christ is to proclaim the legal
right given to every believer proving innocence. The blood of Jesus Christ
defends, protects, and is a literal voice that speaks “mercy” (Hebrews 12:24). I
have been so encouraged to take up this holy weapon as I continue to overcome and encourage you the same! May you always know the authority
of the name of Jesus Christ and the power of His blood.
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… Revelation 12:11
Freedom
Freedom! Today I
have been seeking the Lord on getting to the root of doubt and unbelief in my
life. I want this stronghold gone - for good! I truly believe it is perhaps the
greatest stronghold the enemy uses to deceive us into believing the lie that
God is withholding from us! Doubt and unbelief actually cause a person to be
held captive! The dictionary describes being held captive as, “held under
control of another but having the appearance of independence; especially:
owned or controlled by another...” Wow! How many things can potentially hold someone
prisoner?! Toxic thoughts, ungodly emotions, physical issues, etc... Wherever we are being held captive by the enemy, remember, the Lord wants to
release His wonderful work of grace and mercy in our lives to free us. It is
the very reason Jesus Christ came (Luke 4:18).
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you, says the LORD, and I will bring you back from your captivity... Jeremiah 29:11-14
