I am what it says I am. I can do what it says I can. I'm a believer not a doubter. I'm a doer
and not just a hearer. I am humble before the Lord. I'm obedient to the Lord. I am mature in the
Lord. I'm enthusiastic about the Lord. I know that faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of
God. Amen. In the book of Matthew chapter 26 verse 27 and 28 you'll find these words. It says
then he took the cup and gave thanks and gave it to them saying drink from it all of you.
For this is my blood. Somebody said my blood. It says this is my blood of the new covenant.
Every covenant had to be ratified with blood. In the old system all sins had to be forgiven with.
So he's saying I'm putting something new in place. Amen. So he said for this is my blood for the new
covenant which is shared for many for the remissions of. See God just knew. He couldn't put just sin
there without F something. Took a lot of blood for something. Sin. Plural. Amen. Don't y'all see
him try to play me every low Sunday morning. The Bible put an F on that because God know each one of
us and he know that we came to him with multiple. I know some of y'all think y'all are there in
a community but one little sin but I got news for you. We ought to be glad that the blood was shared
for our sins. Amen. Y'all sit down. Y'all sit down. I'm done there.
Let me begin by saying a very special thanks to Mr. Marvel here who stepped in last week
to fill in the gap on the short notice. As many of you know I went out of town to show support
for a dear friend who lost his wife and she was a dear friend of Lady Jeanette. Sister Brenna Palmer
most of y'all some of y'all know her. In fact she was the inspiration behind Lady Jeanette
beginning what we call out the women the black breasted social. She got that from sister Brenna
and they were friends and so I just wanted to be there to support them during that time. So I want
to thank sister Marvel for stepping in on short notice but you know how the spirit works is that
while I was preparing to preach last week I was already preparing to talk about you know the benefits
of the blood. Had the outline already written I was going to do two weeks on it and I didn't even
ask sister ma what you're going to preach about but you know when I was listening in on I said oh
that's a good segue to this week. She just took the first part of it because last week she was
talking about I've been written and one of the values of the blood and the benefits of the blood
is your redemption and so therefore what I'm going to do today is I'm going to kind of start from
where she began with her text. Stay there for a few minutes because I don't want to preach what she
preached last week but I do want to make the connection to some other benefits that the blood
provides for us amen. You know benefit is anything that you can get as you have been earned it for
retirement whatever the system you're in but sometimes you can have benefits and not even know
it and when you have a benefit and don't know it you can end up living below your privileges
because you don't know the benefits that you that you have and so what I want you to know is that
I've got to get it in your heart and mind that I don't want you to live below your privileges
because you don't know what benefit the blood serves in your life and I hope it would change your
attitude and I hope the message counter is evocative to you today because at certain
points I want to just get right in your face to make a point because if you can receive this I
believe a lot of things in your life would change because you understand the benefits
of the blood. Now in Ephesians chapter 1 verse 7 that's where Sister Marvel was at last week when
she talked about redemption so the first thing I want you to know is that the blood of Jesus
because of his blood we have redemption. Redemption just means that we've been bought back. God bought
us back because we had sin in our lives and because we had a debt that we couldn't pay so he used the
blood of Jesus to pay our debt and with that blood comes our freedom from that debt and forgiveness
of the sin. So knowing that you shouldn't walk around bound up to what you've been set free from
and what I want you to see also is that when we came to God because that word had sins on it
and if we were then law enforcement we had a jacket that was pretty thick you know we had a
wrap sheet that was pretty long and so because of that when you get free you now no longer have to
feel guilty about your wrap sheet. Amen. All of you came to God with a wrap sheet because we violated
his laws. Amen. And so this is what he says here he says now look in verse 7 of Ephesians 1 he says
in him we have redemption somebody say redemption. Redemption through his blood the forgiveness of
sin according to the riches of his grace. God's extended grace toward us bountifully when he
sacrificed Jesus for our sin. So you ought to always feel like you're living under God's grace.
God's favors on your life because of the grace of God. So whatever you do wherever you go you
ought to feel like hey I operate in grace and because I operate in grace and I have favor my life
then if I do things God way and recognize what the blood has done then God was going to find favor
with me before me and and y'all are going to hit me today. Some of y'all want to say you need to
start pleading the blood for some favor in your life because that's a benefit that you have amen.
I said we're going to preach a message let me go on to the second one to Ephesians chapter 2
since tomorrow I did a great job on that last week. Ephesians chapter 2 verse 11 through 13
I want you to see that the blood of Jesus brought us somebody said Gentiles brought us Gentiles near
to God. See we will once consider aliens outside and estranged from the family of God you know and
some places here we're going to read and say we were without hope of eternal salvation but the
blood of Jesus had brought us near to God and we are no longer aliens but now we're citizens
of his kingdom. Now the picture that I want to get you to see is this is that before the blood
if if I can use my sanctified imagination but the JP I don't think it's blasphemy because you're not
God but I'm just going to say for my analogy you are God sitting in your seat of power.
Before the blood I was way over here because of my condition because of my sin because how the
Jews looked at me. Cliff represented the Jews sitting right there next to God got his ear all
the time. I'm over here alienated don't even know how to get through to him but because of the blood
it drew me near to God so now I'm just as close to God as Cliff is. In fact because of the blood I can get
under the old covenant you know the temple is set up in three parts
out of court the inter court and the holies of holies that was a veil that separated
that only the high priests could go behind the holies of holies that'll be where I'm standing
up here now. The outer court may be out where the lobby is you will be considered in the holy
place the sanctuary you can come no further than this before the blood. That's the closer you can
get to God right there before the blood but because the blood which is the veil of the temple was
now you can come straight up here on your own don't even need don't even need boulder
that's the benefit because before that you needed someone else to go to God for you
to atone your sins now you can come. Good God Almighty. Look at this verse 11,
2, 13 and chapter 2. He says don't forget somebody say don't forget. He says don't forget that you
Gentiles oh you Gentiles you Gentiles we Gentiles that's us used to be outsiders somebody know what
it's like to be an outsider that the difference between being an outsider and an insider and then
everybody wanted to try to get to the inside but the Jews say look here before the blood you was a
you were called uncircumcised heathens by the Jews who were so proud of their circumcision
even though it affected only their bodies and not their heart in other words the physical
circumcision of the body did not change the heart and so he said now look the blood
that comes so that it would change your because if your heart changed your actions would change if
your heart changed your behavior would change if your heart changed you'll hear God more than if
your heart is still hot if your heart changed you receive the word of God and in your heart and it
would take root if your this coming to church can be a formality because if this word ain't gonna
change your heart you might well stay at home amen you could just zoom in or you could be at
the be you could be somewhere else if you're not gonna let the word change your because if not you're
gonna be still looked at as a heathen help me out clear he's gonna be looked at as a heathen
on the outside looking in and see that's what the Jews thought they thought because they went
through the physical act of circumcision that that was changing their lives when in reality
they had to do that all the time they after the circumcision they had to take blood over and over
and over again because their hearts were not changing something got to happen on the inside of you
and when you realize that the blood of Jesus can change your heart and your content I'm gonna
show you that it'll change the way you live amen now look at this verse 12 in those days
you were living apart from Christ so when that is talked to you know in plural tense it don't
have the effect so you have to personalize the scripture sometime to make it make sense to you
because if I say in those days you were then that means who are you talking to in here
but now what I want you to do and talking first person say in those days I was living apart from
Christ amen have a different impact now when I say I
I was excluded from citizenship from among the people of Israel and you did not know the covenant
promises of God that God made to them you lived I lived in this world without God and without hope
so before the blood of Christ came on the scene I was without God and without hope had no expectation
of eternal life have had no expectation of the blessing that God had bestowed upon Abraham
and the Jews I didn't even know that those same blessing was benefits toward me because of the
blood and there are a lot of people that's walking around the day that's living hopelessly
they don't know who they are they don't know where they belong and because they don't know
who they are and where they belong then they live below their privileges because now they're
living as if that is no I want you to have hope today because of the blood and then and if you
don't have hope I hope that you leave here knowing beyond the shadow of doubt that the blood of Jesus
has brought you near they lived in this world without God and without hope somebody say but now
somebody shout but now he says now look but now you have been united with Christ Jesus
once let me read this in first person once I was far away from God but now I have been brought
near to him through the blood of
so let me know that we all was afar from God but because of the blood now you've got the same
level of access that the Jews got in fact your access is even better because some of them don't
accept the blood they don't accept Jesus they don't accept the sacrifice that was made for them
so I want to challenge you today look here why are you living afar from God when the blood has
given you the opportunity to be brought near so my belief is you live apart from God not because
of the blood not doing this work but because you make the choice to stay at a distance
the choice is yours I got a choice I can come right down and sit next to mr jp right now and
don't care what cliff think how he looked at me as an uncircumcised even it don't make no
difference because now I know who I am and I know my relationship with my position has changed
I'm no longer over there I'm right here in his
man when you can get in the presence of God your whole attitude changed and I think a lot of people
come to church and think that's because you walk in here you're in his presence look here you can
get in his presence in your car before you you are to bring him here with you so that the worship
experience will be pleasing to everybody because we all come with the same spirit on the inside of
us knowing that we no longer are far from God but we have been brought you know children the closer
they are to their parents the better they are you know the closer you got them to you you know
they act different but when they grow up and get out on they
they
they have a tendency to do some things it is no different than you and your relationship with
God when you go without studying when you go without prayer when you go without meditation when
you go without doing the things in this world and you get a distance from God you start living
y'all ain't gotta feel in the blank don't be afraid because I know what I'm talking about today
you know and I believe that somebody needs to know you don't have to live apart from God
because the blood has drawn you and what I need to help some of you with don't let other folk
keep you from getting closer if you want to get closer there's gonna be some people out there who
want to try to clot the blood that wasn't in my nose I just started that right y'all know that wasn't in my nose but it's sort of fear you know having
the blood clotting out a good thing having someone hindering you from getting closer to God
so now that we know that we have been brought near to God then it's important for us to realize
that we have been justified so my my third point is because Jesus blood has been shared
then now this being justified go back to what I was telling you about your rap sheet
see Romans 5 chapter chapter 5 verse 6 through 11 this passage let us know that we have been
justified by the blood we have been declared and made righteous in the sight of God because of Jesus
blood she God declared you and me righteous in spite of our rap sheet in spite of you know
the jacket was already full cliff but in spite of what was in that rap sheet God looked at the blood
and decided to expunge everything out my record amen now look what I want you all to do right
now just for the sake of your own life not mine I want you to just close your eyes just for a moment
and visualize your rap sheet before the blood if you was honest with yourself I mean if you were
just honest with yourself I mean if you were just truly honest with your spirit ain't gonna lie to
you we said in the Bible said all night the spirit already know what your rap sheet looked like so
you ain't revealing it to me you're just taking a look back and say oh man when I see and understand
where God brought me from and what the blood did for me boy I got something to praise it for
I you know like the song say I just want to praise it I just want to give it faith because
I don't look back and even if I was a good kid I was still stuck up in some ways some of your
rap sheets is not that long you didn't fornicate you didn't commit a dirty you was you know you
was a virgin when you got married wasn't in your rap sheet but boy you had attitude couldn't nobody
get along with you you were just all that and then some it was in your rap scene now I'm not
trying to read in about his book but it's a good possibility some line was in your rap sheet
some fornication was in your rap sheet some drunkenness was in your
don't have don't don't don't have an effect over there I mean but but but it was in your rap sheet
and see if you're still dealing with what's in your rap sheet then you don't understand the benefit
of the she cuz I ought to be able to talk about your rap city you all be saying hey pass go ahead
read it all that that is no longer me that's that you know I'm no longer that person because the
better that charge still pending
yeah you you gotta be quiet right now you you can't get up and do your little hole at the head
yeah you cuz you gotta charge you may be found guilty cuz you don't know the blood
but if you've been set
let me read this now look at this in verse six roman chapter five because we've been justified
we need to know that it says for now I want to make this first person again so I want you to
read the first person as you read for yourself for when I was still without strength in other
ways we were all at a point in our life we were just weak we were helpless man there was some
stuff that had us so hooked up man we just couldn't every time it came around just helpless everybody
told me you're gonna be alright when I was still in that state God was thinking about me when you
were still in that state of helpless God was so he says when we were still without strength in
do time at the right time cliff whenever God move on your life it is the right time he says
christ died for the somebody said me you the ungodly I know some y'all think he was you the
bible you the ungodly and christ died for you while you were still weak and undone
that rap see let me know you rap see talking to you right now weak
I ain't gonna never have another drink weak
I ain't gonna never fornicate again I ain't gonna even touch you I ain't gonna look at weak
man I'm gonna stop lying weak
and ungodly
over eating
it's all right long without talking about the fornicators no let's let me talk about those
that don't know how to push away weak and ungodly that's what the bible say weak
so when God saw us in that state he knew that that wasn't the best place for us
so while we were still weak and ungodly he was thinking about us because in due time
he said christ died for the so y'all to be happy man he died because when I was weak
yeah he died when I was you know fornicating he died when I was lying
it would have been nice if he said get it right first Jesse but he said why are you still doing it
in due time christ died for the ungodly
yeah benefit now look at this he lets us know that you know they're seldom will somebody die for
you clear even if you're okay they may even consider it they think you're a good dude
but it's so rare you don't see it often so that's why he says for scaffolding for a righteous man
for someone you know who's somewhere good will one die yet perhaps for a good man somebody who's
especially good first jp i'm gonna consider you it's especially good somebody may even dare
to die for you but if they have some second thought they may say jp you on your own man
i thought i could do it for you but but bro why ain't you on your own man i thought i was gonna be
able to take the bullet for you but you you're on your own man i know we'd rather die like that but
i didn't know the bullet was gonna come so so scarcely would i die for you why i ain't gonna
jump in front of and say i will be your hero now you ain't got but one hero that will end up you
his name ain't boulder amen so so so don't make me your hero don't make the person who stand up here
and teach you your hero because most people that stand up here ain't gonna sometimes we won't even
pray for you so how in the world
if i ain't praying for your diner's not the question
verse they say but somebody say but well i was told the but you know
you're gonna change the direction of the thought here he says now scarcely would cliff die for me
but god somebody say god but god demonstrated his own love toward me toward you toward us
and that while we were and while i was still sinning christ died for us christ died for me
that's how you got to read that you know so so god didn't just talk about big game
he showed up at the game and he put some skin in the game and then he allowed his son to die for us
and i died for me while i was still while i was still
yeah still chasing
and you know just still lying still eating too much still he didn't say look you know boulder
you ought to stop eating two pieces of pie before i let jesus die i was still eating too many calories
but jesus now i'm just using myself for that but you got to still too
yeah don't sit here and try to play me y'all i know you you got to you got to wrap she too
why you were still i don't know poor one say still
still not told y'all some of y'all don't got real quiet all right look here
some of y'all still it's not as bad as others but it don't make no difference
huh you were still
and we ought to shout because we ought to be glad he let jesus die while we were still
because it would have been worth it for jesus benefit if we had to get it right because he'll still be living
right so he says now look in that while we were still sinners christ died for us then he says
much more than having now been justified by his blood made right we shall be saved from
wrath through him in other words i don't have to worry about condemnation i don't care how mad
god get up in heaven he ain't gonna get mad at me because he see the blood he he may say a little
something to me every now and then but he ain't gonna never talk to me about hell
i ain't that guy that conversation ain't for me because the blood has sealed that conversation
off forever and so therefore when i error i just tell him i'm sorry but i don't have to worry about
saying okay i've made a mistake now he's gonna send me there now the blood
keeps me from all wrath amen that ought to be something to shout about man you know
you don't want to fall into the hands of an angry god and so therefore because we have the blood
protecting us and we have Jesus blood that had been shared for look here that's a sense of freedom
that you ought to enjoy that's a benefit that you ought to walk in and live in it so that when you
walk and talk about the Lord you talk about it with confidence because you know hey that is
there for no condemnation for those who are in
so whether you believe in hell or not it don't make me no different if it is one i ain't gone
amen so i don't even have to be preached to about no hell i just say that for folks who
you know don't believe in it just let them know but for me that's a lesson i already got clear
that's elementary that deal has been sealed and that deal ought to be sealed for each and every
one of you you shouldn't have to wake up every morning being condemned because you're not sure
what your relationship is like with god the blood
saved us from wrath through him look at verse 10 he says for if somebody say if if we were
enemies if when we were enemies we were reconciled to god through the death of his son much more
haven't been reconciled we shall be saved by his life man if god did that for me cliff when i was
an enemy and now that jesus have justified me and reconciled me back to god and i'm god's friend
why would god kill his why would god why would you kill your
he didn't kill me went out of the enemy so why in the world when he killed me now that i'm his
friend so now i walk around with a benefit that hey i am a friend of i don't have to worry about
him just slapping me around and condemning me why because i'm his friend but with that friendship
come responsibility i try to live in a way that please him but at the same time i don't live
in fear of being backhand by god because i'm his
like your children they don't have to live in fear of being backhand by you when they are your
no i know some y'all don't backhand your friend you're not you're not you that example
but they don't have to you don't get your little ruler or whatever you don't time out of them
you know you don't take the toys they got to walk in that fear when they know that they are no longer
condemned by you because they're your friend
now i know that go against popular teaching your children they're supposed to be your friend
because sometimes friends don't respect you like this year but i would much rather have your children
be your friend than to be your friend
he said now now that we no longer his enemies and that we've been brought there and reconciled
to make friend look at verse 11 says now and not only that but we also somebody to rejoice
we rejoice in god through our lord jesus christ through whom we have now received
reconciliation so so the writer is telling us that when you realize that your god's friend
that's a shouting revelation
i think in my mind that i'm thoughts
i'm supposed to
see it looks like he ain't got no friends right here
because his friend is scared to read so can i just take a pause right here because i don't have
one more text and just let y'all have a pause moment of praise moment with your friend because
you got a friend who has forgiven you of your sin he has reconciled you because of the blood
and therefore he is worthy of your praise he's worthy of your adoration it is not too much to
praise your friend it's not too much to ask of you to clap your hands for your friend it's not too
much to ask you to say hallelujah for your friend to say thank you for saving me to your friend
hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah see those of you who see sometimes i have to make things like this
out in the social media world everybody is fighting for friends
they brag about how many likes i got i got i'm in a friend i got a little dog about red
a friend you don't even really know and can't really do nothing for you and you come to church
your son i ain't trying to guilt you right here because your conscious i'll be speaking to you
and you come to church your son and got a friend that sacrificed his life
and we tell ourselves it don't take all that and we know that our friend loved to be praised
he loved to be magnified he loved to be glorified he didn't have his to praise up his people
so it shouldn't be nothing wrong with saying thank you when i was a little boy man my grandmom and
i'm proud of man if you can't say nothing else to somebody that has done something for you that
leaf just say thank you that's enough sometimes you just gotta say and every now and then you
ought to say with some emphasis like you really are thank you because you know the benefit of the
blood that was shared for you don't live below your privileges all because you're too proud to say
thank you god i thank you when i with my imagination look back at that rap sheet
that you had on me i say
all i have to do is just look at all them charges oh man he had that on me had that on
me first degree on that one second degree on that mr. meaner right there but look here
that's murder right there that that's that was a capital when you did that that was a capital
see somebody ought to got some hold and i let y'all don't forget what y'all rap
see look the lez least look like but look at i'm trying to tell you you gotta tell him thank you
that you have been freed up from all those charges that was held against you
and when i understand that they're not good look here the beauty of that is now
nobody can bring those charges up in a way that's gonna make me feel guilty because i know
i know i know i know i know i know that he has exonerated me of all those charges because of the
cause of the blood that's a benefit so therefore i live in this freedom major i don't have to
walk around bound up i hope major don't go and look at my past and see some of my old posts out there
of finding what i did when i was in high school baby dig all you want whatever you see you ain't
gonna see a lot because look here i've been freed up the god then just took it out the other record
and therefore it don't make me no different if you sniff it out you wasted your time because
it's not gonna hold me the blood them freed me up from people people don't get next to me like that
no more i could care less what people think because i know what the blood has oh lord let me get back
to my lessons i went forward to get that day because some people need and some of you all need to be
freed up people are holding too much against you and you come to church every Sunday you pray you
draw that but you still walk around like you guilty man you better you better find out who you are
and the lord is start living like you free start acting like you free start talking like
all i'm doing is saying i'm gonna agree with what god say about me and not what somebody else say
people will always say something but whatever they say don't mean nothing because they have no
condemning power the power to condemn has been covered by the blood oh let me move on let me
move on because i wasn't supposed to get excited right there so this last part i guess i got excited
the right play because that was the time we could enjoy but let me just go over here to Hebrews to
close out Hebrews chapter nine this is another one of those things that you're going to have to
kind of get a good picture of what was going on under the old system see this passage let us know
that Jesus was the perfect sacrifice to be offered for our sin not over and over but once and for all
and he did that with his blood so the blood of christ purify or cleanse our conscience
from sinful deeds in other words the blood of jesus can transform our minds so that we can distinguish
what is morally good and bad the blood cleans up up on the inside by the power of the Holy Spirit
making us aware of our thoughts that come into our mind that will try to get us to go back to where
God has delivered us from so every now and then when i want to think about what i used to be
revisit that rap sheet the blood the blood say hey you ain't got no business going back there
you've been set free so don't take your mind back somewhere where you have been set
because most of the things that cause us problems in life starting out
if you can let the blood cleanse your mind cleanse the way you think it'll change the way you live
you're conducting your character to resolve so what's in your head amen so look at this and i'm
in hebrus chapter 9 verse 11 through 14 and i'm done he says now look so christ has become
the high priest over all good things that have come in other words hebrus is a comparative study
everything that the writer was right he was comparing the old to the new and he's saying now
this old priesthood christ is better than that the priesthood the errand and the levites ran
where they had to go out and sacrifice animals over and over and over and then offer up a sin
offering for themselves that day is he's the priest over all good things that have come not
not this coming but have come now he has entered the greater and more perfect tapernacle in heaven
which was not made by human hand or and is not part of the creative world in other words
the high priest had to come behind the veil once a year in an earthly temple like this house this
church and offer up animals blood he said now there's a better tabernacle than this earthly
tabernacle and jesus didn't come to this earthly tabernacle to give his blood he went back to the
half tabernacle in heaven and laid his blood on the altar there for you that sacrifices much better
than the blood of a goat or a ram or a bull or a dove that sacrifice you got to realize you're
living under a better covenant a better sacrifice you got to act like you know that because the blood
gave you a better deal our deal is better than the old deal so every time we go out there and live
beneath our privileges it's almost like we sacrifice in Jesus over again and he said that he was
sacrificed once so now you ought to think about man why am I putting Jesus back on the cross
why am I going to let this extra piece of power put Jesus back on the cross why am I going to
let this movie that got all this pornography in it put Jesus why am I going to let this extra
drink of alcohol that I know going to call me to go out my mind put Jesus
back on the cross I'm just trying to make you think right now because if you won't think about
your life you ain't gonna change because you're gonna settle for what you're comfortable with
but every now and then you need to be reminded that the blood was shed for you for a reason
you got a better deal now and because we got a better deal we got to live
we still live in under the influence of this created world
and it takes the blood of Jesus to help you navigate your way through this created world
that is changing culturally every day and if you don't understand your position in this created
world you will get caught up with some of the change
not knowing that the blood has cleansed you
I know it's gonna get quiet right there man I know that's why I ain't yelling I know
because you're thinking now I'm glad you're thinking right now you're thinking right now
I hope that was an evocative moment for you that you look deeper that rap sheet look deeper
this world that we live in and say God let me take advantage of the blood that was shed for me
he says with his own blood verse 12 not the blood of goats and calves he entered to the
most holy place what I told you earlier once for all time and secured our redemption that that word
is again for that's why I told you I ain't worry about hell and you know condemnation
forever means forever forever is always
forever I'm forever redeemed that wasn't no job that Jesus didn't do perfectly the
Bible said he did it perfectly so therefore I'm perfectly redeemed I ain't going to hell
amen whether you believe in that I ain't going there I've been redeemed for
let me finish this up verse 13 he says under the old system I say old system the old system
the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a young cow could cleanse people bodies
from ceremonial impurity in other words all you was working on was the outer man
you was cleaning up the outer man so we take blood sacrifice the animal sprinkle it all over
the altar over you or whatever put some ashes on you and now you will consider ceremonially clean
but that didn't last till you took a shower once you go wash it off there's no lasting power in
it just like there's no lasting power in baptism water we do that as a ceremony but if your heart
don't change in the water before you get in the water you're going to come up out the water and
once you draw off that little same demon that was in you before you went in
he there because you thought that the ceremony just going to take that desire from you the
ceremony going to know the ceremony just initiate you into the body but after you come out the water
now you got to let the spirit work on that because until he started working on the inside the water
is just a four he says it cleanses people's bodies from ceremonial impurity look at verse 14 last
word he said just think somebody say just think now he wants you to just think about now if if
they thought that made them clean just think just think just let your mind go for a moment and
paint something on your brain and in your head how you see this playing out just don't turn your
brain off and tune out and go somewhere else right now just Todd he said just think right now
something ought to be running through your head that you're thinking about what's significance
that Jesus blood played my life just if you don't know how to think about the blood you're not
gonna live under the benefits just think how much more the blood of Christ will purify or cleanse
our conscious our conscious well conscious is the part of that thinking process that
so if I think about what Jesus has done then that blood can cleanse my conscious so when some bad
thoughts come in I can plead the blood over that thought so that I don't try to act out what I've been
you got to get your conscious in line with this word of God you got to get your mind in line with
this word of God and you got to plead the blood of Jesus over your mind because your mind still
remember your rap sheet your mind know what's in the jacket your mind know what they got on you
they mind be your mind know how many cases you had pinned them you know me you know that was some
detective sitting there they say I just caught a case today that Veronica and when I opened up her
jacket your mind know what he saw but because of the blood of Jesus your conscious I don't care
what he saw because I know that I have been redeemed from all that was in there and so therefore
when my mind want to go back to that I have to plead the blood so that my conscious will stay
in line with what God would have me now you are letting too much that's out there on social media
get into your conscious mind and whatever gets in front of your conscious mind and start you to
thinking about it you're gonna start acting on what you've been thinking so now this blood is
supposed to say that content I cannot read because that content go contrary to what the blood represents
so if you had that read in all kind of content and your spirit is never quick I submit to you
that blood doesn't stop running your conscious is dead you no longer sense and feel the things of
God moved through your spirit because you have become immune to what you're reading now and now
that has become a part of you again I know y'all don't want to hear that today what they got this
first Sunday this is the blood I said yeah you're saying be forgiven but the devil's still trying to
get your mind so purify our conscious from sin for these so that I can worship the living God so it
looked like to me he said we but I put either clip it's hard to worship God when your conscious is
all jacked up you come in the word trying to get through to your conscious beating you down you
ain't got no business here today you know what you did last week you were you here time out conscious
the blood I'm here to worship now and because I know what he's done for me I'm not gonna let you
miss this moment in his presence I'm gonna enjoy this because I came to feel something I came to
feel some I came to experience I'm not gonna let my conscious mind keep me from feeling what God
would help me to feel all because I'm still dealing with guilt and the pain of sin
so those sins for these he didn't say they weren't gonna come they're gonna always come
but now your mind has been renewed been transformed and so therefore we plead the blood of Jesus
to help us with the things that come and attack our
so that we can worship the living God that's the whole purpose of coming to church you come
in at home wherever you are you're just supposed to be a worship moment you're supposed to be worshiping
God kidding some from his word feeling like you're in his presence so this ain't just wasted time in
your life this is a time that you set apart you ought to get something out of time because you
can't get this time back so you got to take advantage of the moments that you have now
because once this moment is over it is that's why the world is telling people right now and they
bind it to but they won't buy them to you got to live in the that's the going thing when I'm looking
out there on the Netflix and I'm gonna live in them but what are they talking about but most of
time when you hear them say that just look what they're trying to live in and I'm just trying to
tell you I want you to live in the base upon where you are oh god I'm done he says by the power of
the eternal spirit Christ offered himself to God as a perfect sacrifice for our sins the blood of
Jesus has benefits and therefore when you understand and know that he is your faithful high priest
and his sacrifice was perfect you no longer have to bear the guilt the staying the pain and all that
stuff that come with your past life your past life is holding you back because your past life
is still in your head you can't get over what happened to you 10 years ago 20 years ago and
I'm here to say that the blood is supposed to help you deal with your past and cleanse your mind so
that I don't forget what happened to me in my past but I no longer have the pain that's associated
with my past I remember every good and bad thing I've done for the most part but when I think about
those things now I no longer feel guilty I no longer feel pain by those things even though they
I may have hurt somebody when I did it but God has forgiven me don't mean that person has but the
one who count has now if I did things right I should have went back to that person and said hey
let's make it right and they don't accept the power that's fine but that person ain't gonna be
the walker I said well you know he did that to me and then I was gonna gotta go oh man I'm guilty
again feel bad I ain't feeling bad that's one area I ain't feeling bad in right there because look
here my conscious mind has been cleansed with the blood of Jesus so I don't care what's the
version of Larry Bowden you go and get Larry Bowden 15 Larry Bowden 25 35 45 55 65 whichever
version you want to go and get I'm gonna put the blood on it I don't kill he just sound too
yeah well I'm just telling that you ought to be sounding because I'm not gonna live the rest of
my life when people talking about me put me on a guilt you can't help nobody if you walking around
feeling guilty about every little thing that you done did 20 years ago how you're gonna help and
deliver somebody from something when you have them allowed the blood of Jesus to deliver you
so I hope you got something out of today's message there's some benefits to the blood
give the Lord a hand cup of praise if you will hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah
we thank God for the blood of Jesus every head body every eye closed we have several appeals for
you my first appeal is for salvation if you're here and you never made Jesus the Lord of your life
and you want to give your life to him on today if you're online or you're in the house I just ask
if you're here raise your hand someone will minister to you if you're online I just asked
you send us an instant message to let us know and we will gladly get in contact with you because we
believe that everybody ought to know who Jesus is everybody ought to know that Jesus came to die
for us while we were yet still sinning so if you are there thinking that you got to get some things
right because that's a common clause the enemy say but once I get it right once you get it right
then you can give your life to the Lord now you ain't gonna get it right not on your own not without
his help because you're weak and helpless but if you just trust him he can help you get it right
and that starts with accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior so if that is you again I just
ask if you just give us a call here to church 8508 6238 999 or if you're in the house just raise
your hand just raise your hand say yes pastor I want to give my life to the Lord my second appeal is
for new members if you're here and you're looking for a church home and the spirit of God is speaking
to your heart and saying striving for perfection ministry is the place for you true we love to
have you as a part of this body but we can continue to strengthen you and so that you will walk up
right before God to be more and more like Jesus that is our goal that is our aim is to to make sure
that you're nurtured and brought up in the truth of God's word if this is where you think the Lord
is leading you please raise your hand if you're in the house if you're online just give us a call
please raise your hand please raise your hand please raise your hand
then my third appeal is for the baptism of the Holy Spirit if you're here and you want to know
more about the gift of the Holy Spirit with the Holy Spirit with evidence speaking other times if
that is you and you want to know more please raise your hand we have ministers that will share
information with you then my fourth and final appeal is for our altar time for prayer time or
you can pray at your seats or you now you can come if you want to come to the altar around the wall
if we have we got ministers in the house who will gladly pray with you if that's what you desire
but pray your line of communication with a holy God and because the veil of the temple has been
rent you can go to him any kind of anytime you want to in your own way so if you got a prayer
concern you may want to intercede on someone else for heaven that the spirit of God is speaking to
your heart don't don't miss this moment where you may be able to intercede for someone please be
obedient to your spirit if you got a prayer concern you got a prayer need please come at this time
please come at this time you want to stand at your seats you can do that also please come
please come because we believe that the fervent prayers of the righteous avail it much
hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah
even if you're seated at your seat i just ask that you
focus on things and things that you could be praying for not for yourself just lift up
your neighbor concerns intercede for someone don't miss this moment when we're trying to communicate
with our God hallelujah we thank you Lord Jesus we thank you for the benefits in
the and the ability God to come back before you hallelujah hallelujah let us pray eternal
God our Father we thank you for your word that is gone for today God we realize that that word
has got to get into our heart and in our minds so that we will live in accordance with us that I
thank you for reminding us just how precious the blood of Jesus is it was a perfect sacrifice
for all of our sins one time and for all so God we thank you for counting us worthy you count us
valuable enough to let Jesus die just for us I truly believe that if heaven rejoiced because
one sinner gives their life to the Lord I believe Jesus would have died just for one person on this
earth and so God I thank you for letting him die for all of us so that we could have a way back to
you and Father we just promise that we're not going to take for granted this relationship that we
have with you because of him we're not going to live below our privileges God so we're going to
walk in the favor and the honor that you have bestowed upon us and God I pray that you keep our
minds and things focused on you so that as our old nature try to re-reach up in our lives that the
blood of Jesus will cleanse us from that thought that acts in that deep whatever it is God we
plead the blood of Jesus that was shed for us and God when it's all said and done we give you all
praise honor and glory in Jesus name we pray that everybody say amen say amen again amen give the
Lord a hand cup of praise if you will thank you Jesus thank you Lord amen amen this time
