Revelation 12:10-11
BSB
10 And I heard a loud voice in heaven saying: “Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of His Christ. For the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down— he who accuses them day and night before our God.
11 They have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony. And they did not love their lives so as to shy away from death.

BSB
When you let the blood speak on your behalf you please the Lord.
Favor forever is found in the pleasure of God.
-We shouldn’t focus on the outcome of favor. Our focus should be on pleasing God.
-The byproduct of pleasing God is favor.
Favor is when God is with you publicly because you have been with Him and found His smile privately.
Favor is when hard things become easy in the presence of God.
Favor is when people can’t figure out why God’s blessing you so much.
Favor is amazing, but His pleasure is EVERYTHING.
You will feel His pleasure before you see His favor.

WHY TALK ABOUT THE BLOOD
Leviticus 19:31
BSB
31 You must not turn to mediums or spiritists; do not seek them out, or you will be defiled by them. I am the LORD your God.
BSB
Galatians 5:19-21
BSB
19 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity, and debauchery;
20 idolatry and sorcery; hatred, discord, jealousy, and rage; rivalries, divisions, factions,
21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

Revelation 21:8
BSB
8 But to the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and sexually immoral and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their place will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur. This is the second death.”
BSB
Christians can have NO PART in witchcraft.
Boiling Frog Syndrome:
-19th-century science experiment where researchers found that when they put a frog in a pan of boiling water, the frog quickly jumped out. But, when they put a frog in cold water and put the water to boil over time, the frog just boiled to death.
-The hypothesis was that the change in temperature is so gradual, the frog doesn’t realize it’s boiling to death.
-This is a good metaphor for what often happens to us.

The enemy knows he can’t get you to do blood magic and voodoo, so he wouldn’t dare start there. It’s hot water; you would jump out and, it would be a waste of time.
But he could probably get you to burn a little sage for good vibes, smoke a little weed and open yourself up to the demonic realm, keep a few stones around to push negativity away from you, do some white magic to manifest good things in your life, pray to your ancestors, and talk to the dead…

Some of you would never touch any of that, but there’s rebellion in your life – NO ONE can tell you no, not even the Lord.
1 Samuel 15:23
kjv
23 For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king.
kjv
Are you in hot water?
-Your only option is to stay out of the water! Don’t allow any witchcraft in your life. (Throw away the stones. Throw away the sage. Stop messing around with tarot cards. Throw out the Ouija board. Repent.)
-It’s not harmless. The enemy wants to lure you into darkness and take you out.
-This is why we will unapologetically expose anyone who suggests you can be a Christian AND practice witchcraft.

THE WEIGHT OF THE BLOOD
-Blood is mentioned 447 times in the Word of God.
-The first time we see blood mentioned in the Word of God is with Adam and Eve. The law of first mention means whatever is mentioned first is VERY IMPORTANT.
Adam and Eve sinned before the Lord. They disobeyed God and as a result, deserved the full penalty of sin, death. Their sin activated the full penalty of death for all of mankind.

Romans 5:12
BSB
12 Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, so also death was passed on to all men, because all sinned.
BSB
The bloodline of humanity was contaminated right here. We were born into sin because we were born into Adam’s contaminated bloodline.
Psalm 51:5
BSB
5 Surely I was brought forth in iniquity; I was sinful when my mother conceived me.
BSB
-Like we often do, they dressed themselves in leaves, attempting to cover themselves.
-But, God clothed them instead.
-But, God clothed them instead.
Genesis 3:21
BSB
21 And the LORD God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife, and He clothed them.
BSB
Garments of skin = an animal being sacrificed
God does what? He covers them in blood.
God does what? He covers them in blood.
God’s response to sin all the way back in the garden was the blood. It was a foreshadowing of what was to come.
Blood was reserved for the things of God - it was consecrated. It was sacred. Here are some things that are revealed about the blood in the OT:
-In the OT, they knew the favor of the Lord was accessed through blood.
-The first thing Noah did after the flood was build an altar to the Lord.
-In the OT, they knew the favor of the Lord was accessed through blood.
-The first thing Noah did after the flood was build an altar to the Lord.
Genesis 8:20
BSB
20 Then Noah built an altar to the LORD. And taking from every kind of clean animal and clean bird, he offered burnt offerings on the altar.
BSB
-We only talk about the animals being brought on two by two, but Noah brought animals just for sacrifice on the ark by sevens also. That’s a lot of blood.
-In Genesis 12, the Lord promised Abraham that He would give his offspring the land, and Abraham immediately built an altar to the Lord. There was blood.
-In Genesis 12, the Lord promised Abraham that He would give his offspring the land, and Abraham immediately built an altar to the Lord. There was blood.
They knew the Lord’s sustaining/keeping power was in the blood.
The Lord’s forgiveness was in the blood.
According to Leviticus 17, God had established a purpose for the blood.
Leviticus 17:11
asv
11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood; and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh atonement by reason of the life.
asv
The blood had a purpose. It was to be used to atone for the sins of the people.
Hebrews 9:22
BSB
22 According to the law, in fact, nearly everything must be purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.
BSB
-The Lord’s protection was in the blood.
-One of the most famous examples is Passover: In Exodus 12, the Lord told Moses that blood painted on the doorposts of a home would be “a sign” for God to know which houses to Passover. No death or plague could come to a house that was covered in blood.
-It had to be the blood of a perfect, male, year old lamb.

Exodus 12:5
BSB
5 Your lamb must be an unblemished year-old male, and you may take it from the sheep or the goats.
BSB
BLOOD OF THE LAMB
All of this was a foreshadowing of the coming sacrifice of Jesus, who was also slain on Passover and whose innocent blood also saves us from death and destruction.
1 Corinthians 5:7
BSB
7 Get rid of the old leaven, that you may be a new unleavened batch, as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.
BSB
It was blood once again, but blood from a perfect lamb – blood from a perfect man.
1 Peter 1:18-19
BSB
18 For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life you inherited from your forefathers,
19 but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or spot.
19 but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or spot.
BSB
Hebrews 10:4
BSB
4 because it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.
BSB
Romans 5:6-10
BSB
6 For at just the right time, while we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.
7 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die.
8 But God proves His love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
9 Therefore, since we have now been justified by His blood, how much more shall we be saved from wrath through Him!
10 For if, when we were enemies of God, we were reconciled to Him through the death of His Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through His life!

BSB
You were an enemy of God because of the sin that entered our bloodline through Adam.
Romans 5:12-14
BSB
12 Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, so also death was passed on to all men, because all sinned.
13 For sin was in the world before the law was given; but sin is not taken into account when there is no law.
14 Nevertheless, death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who did not sin in the way that Adam transgressed. He is a pattern of the One to come.

BSB
-The life that we needed could only be found in His blood – the one who IS life, untainted by the stain of death like the rest of us. Think about it.
-There had to be a man to come and make the wrong things right – the Great Reformer, Himself.
-There had to be a man to come and make the wrong things right – the Great Reformer, Himself.
Romans 5:17-19
BSB
17 For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive an abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ!
18 So then, just as one trespass brought condemnation for all men, so also one act of righteousness brought justification and life for all men.
19 For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.

BSB
-This year is the year of Reformation! Often when we talk about reformation, we talk about John, the Baptist – known as one of the greatest reformers, preparing the way of the Lord.
-John told them that he was not even worthy of tying the sandals of the one who was to come.
-The first time John sees Jesus, he identifies Him as the Lamb of God.
-John told them that he was not even worthy of tying the sandals of the one who was to come.
-The first time John sees Jesus, he identifies Him as the Lamb of God.
John 1:29
BSB
29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!
BSB
In other words, God brought His own lamb. For thousands of years, people brought their lambs to get to God. This time, God brought His own lamb on our behalf because He so deeply desired to be with us.
-We’ve been reconciled to God through the blood of Jesus – the blood of the Lamb.
-We’ve been forgiven of our sin through the blood of Jesus – the blood of the Lamb.
-We’ve been cleansed, the very taste of sin removed, by the blood of Jesus – the blood of the Lamb.
-We’ve been bought by the blood of Jesus – the blood of the Lamb.
-We’ve been forgiven of our sin through the blood of Jesus – the blood of the Lamb.
-We’ve been cleansed, the very taste of sin removed, by the blood of Jesus – the blood of the Lamb.
-We’ve been bought by the blood of Jesus – the blood of the Lamb.
1 John 1:7
BSB
7 But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.
BSB
1 Corinthians 10:13
BSB
13 No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide an escape, so that you can stand up under it.
BSB
2 Timothy 3:1-5
BSB
1 But understand this: In the last days terrible times will come.
2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,
3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, without love of good,
4 traitorous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Turn away from such as these!

SATAN, THE ACCUSER
He lures you into sin. Then, he accuses you of the sin he lured you into.
In Revelation 12:11, the Bible calls Satan, the accuser.
He does two things:
-He accuses you to you.
-He accuses you to God.
In Revelation 12:11, the Bible calls Satan, the accuser.
He does two things:
-He accuses you to you.
-He accuses you to God.
He accuses you to you, in an attempt to get you to come into agreement with his accusations.
What accusation of the enemy have you come into agreement with?
He accuses you to God – demanding God to judge you according to your sin.
Biblically, accuser is a court term.
-The accuser is the person who initiates court action on someone who has done wrong, also known as the plaintiff.
-The accuser is the one appealing to the judge to apply the full penalty of the law on the one who broke the law.

-The accuser is the person who initiates court action on someone who has done wrong, also known as the plaintiff.
-The accuser is the one appealing to the judge to apply the full penalty of the law on the one who broke the law.
So, after luring you into sin, it says the enemy accuses you before God demanding that He give you the full penalty for your sin.
Why? Because he knows that God established a law or a promise that the full penalty for sin is death and he knows that God is a man of His word.
Why? Because he knows that God established a law or a promise that the full penalty for sin is death and he knows that God is a man of His word.
Romans 6:23
BSB
23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
BSB
In other words, the FULL PENALTY or PAYMENT for sin is death.
Although we’ve all experienced this, according to Revelation, there’s a two-part remedy for overcoming the Accuser.
Revelation 12:11
BSB
11 They have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony. And they did not love their lives so as to shy away from death.
BSB
Three Practical Ways To Apply The Blood
Take communion regularly.
-Be intentional about taking communion in your everyday life, especially in times that you sense warfare or witchcraft.
-Be intentional about taking communion in your everyday life, especially in times that you sense warfare or witchcraft.
1 Corinthians 10:16
BSB
16 Is not the cup of blessing that we bless a participation in the blood of Christ? And is not the bread that we break a participation in the body of Christ?
BSB
John 6:53
BSB
53 So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh and drink the blood of the Son of Man, you have no life in you.
BSB
Repent quickly.
-When you repent, you have access to the authority of the blood.
-When you repent, you have access to the authority of the blood.
Acts 3:19
BSB
19 Repent, then, and turn back, so that your sins may be wiped away,
BSB
Proverbs 28:13
BSB
13 He who conceals his sins will not prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them will find mercy.
BSB
Revelation 12:11
BSB
11 They have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony. And they did not love their lives so as to shy away from death.
BSB
Acknowledging the blood.
Acknowledging the blood allows you to walk in a fresh revelation of what you’ve been given access to.
Thank God that you’re covered in the blood.
Apply the blood = Acknowledge and thank God for the blood
(Over your house, your dorm-room, your bedroom, your family, your kids, your car, etc..)

Thank God that you’re covered in the blood.
Apply the blood = Acknowledge and thank God for the blood

This is why we constantly sing scripture about the blood.
When you walk in a revelation of the blood, you walk in a greater authority of the blood.
Romans 8:34-35
BSB
34 Who is there to condemn us? For Christ Jesus, who died, and more than that was raised to life, is at the right hand of God—and He is interceding for us.
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?

Revelation 12:10-11

11 They have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony. And they did not love their lives so as to shy away from death.

Hebrews 12:24
BSB
24 to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.
BSB
The word "intercede" is the Greek word entugchanó which means to obtain by hitting the mark.
For context, you must understand that "sin" is the Greek word hamartanó which means to miss the mark.
For context, you must understand that "sin" is the Greek word hamartanó which means to miss the mark.
You missed the mark, but Jesus obtained salvation for us by hitting the mark through the blood. This is what we’re talking about when we say Jesus is our intercessor.
THE BLOOD SPEAKS FOR YOU
Genesis 4:10
BSB
10 “What have you done?” replied the LORD. “The voice of your brother’s blood cries out to Me from the ground.
BSB
Abel’s blood was shed for the reason of vengeance.
God knew Cain killed his brother because Abel’s blood was crying out to him. Abel’s blood was shed for the reason of vengeance.
Blood has a voice.
It’s why God has a problem with abortion – He can hear the blood of millions of babies crying out.
It’s why God has a problem with abortion – He can hear the blood of millions of babies crying out.
When you let the blood speak on your behalf you please the Lord.
