The Blood Speaks #2
Hebrews 12:24
Introduction: Today one must remember that the life of God is in the Blood of Jesus. When any Christian takes the Precious Blood of Jesus and begins to sing it, talk it, or plead it, the devil gets terribly disturbed, He knows the power in the Blood and does everything he can to blind the Christian from using it.

Blood was used.

we are depending wholly on His mercy.

An old hymn: “Nothing in our hand we bring, simply to
thy cross we cling”

When we speak, “Plead the Blood”, it speaks for us.

It speaks mercy from the Mercy Seat in Heaven where
Jesus is seated with His Father.

THIS IS WHY WE PLEAD THE
BLOOD!
Conclusion:
We must learn the value of using the Blood of Jesus. When the Church fully discovers this secret, the whole realm of God’s power is opened. That is when all the
Angels of heaven come and help rescue the child of God
and the Church. How true, the Spirit answers to the Blood.
