A BETTER WORD pt 6
Boldness
Hebrews 10:19-23 NKJV ”Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh, and having a High Priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.“
We have been looking at the power of the Blood of Jesus, firstly the 5 confessions of our faith in the blood! Memorise the 5 confessions of the Blood of Jesus:
1. By the blood of Jesus I am redeemed from all the power of the enemy.
2. By the blood of Jesus I am forgiven of all my sins.
3. By the blood of Jesus I am cleansed now and continually from the stain of sin.
4. By the blood of Jesus I am justified, God sees me as though I have never sinned.
5. By the Blood of Jesus I am sanctified, set apart for God‘s holy purpose.
And then we are studying the 7 specific places that Jesus shed His Blood for us.
6. The blood of Purpose:- the blood shed from the feet of Jesus when nailed to the cross.
Psalm 22:16 NKJV “For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.
Jesus pierced feet won back dominion for us over the places you walk, this speaks directly of you walking in His purpose for your life and been able to stand against the enemy in Victory.
Joshua 1:3 NKJV “Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given you, as I said to Moses.” The Blood was shed from His feet. The third nail, which pierced Jesus’ feet, represents victory over oppression and defeat in our daily living. This nail was a lot longer than the other two and was used to pierce both His feet, right under the anklebone. Jesus found breathing in these conditions incredibly difficult & painful. His chest was severely compressed, meaning that He had to support the entire weight of His body on this nail, increasing the agonising pain running through His legs. Why did Jesus have to suffer all this for us? So that all our steps could be redeemed and become fruitful in Him, so that all who had lost their way could find there way back again, and so that the course of our lives could be kept in holiness, full of purpose as we walk in God’s guidance.
Ephesians 6:13-15 NKJV “Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace;” SO THIS speaks directly to been His Disciples and walking in purpose, been SOUL-WINNERS &
Disciple-Makers!
7. The blood of Restoration:- the blood that flowed from the heart of Jesus when the spear pierced His side. Jesus pierced heart won back our joy and thereby our restoration in every area of our SOUL (mind, Will & emotion) including a broken or hardened heart.
John 19:34 NKJV “But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.”
Ezekiel 36:26 NKJV “I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. Blood was shed from His heart. After Jesus breathed His last, a soldier pierced His side with a spear. There was a sudden flow of blood and water. Experts say that when water and blood are combined in that way inside the body, it is because the person’s heart has exploded.” The anguish that Jesus suffered on the cross of Calvary was so great that His heart could not bear it. You may think, “My heart is wounded and in pieces; my wounds run so deep.” But today, Jesus is telling you, “Son, daughter, my heart exploded so that yours could be
healed and so that your emotions could be restored.
Hebrews 8:10 NKJV “For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.
Hebrews 8:12-13 NKJV For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.” In that He says, “A new covenant,” He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.”
Return to Me and I will return to you. If you come to Me, your life will be completely different as of today.”
I Am FREE FROM low self-esteem
By The Blood Of Jesus I am FREE FROM poverty I am
THE OWNER of a new heart
And FREED TO release the power of God on earth
I AM FREE TO walk in the purpose of God
The best decision we can make in response to all this is entrusting our hearts to Jesus, bringing all that we are to the cross and leaving our old nature there.
All of our past is left at the foot of the cross and we receive a new nature – the character of Christ in us.
When we come to the cross, we discover that the arms of our loving Jesus are always wide open, ready to receive us.
