How wonderful to know that God has provided salvation through the blood of Jesus! But to qualify for salvation, you must meet His conditions. What are His conditions for salvation? That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved (Romans 10:9). If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (I John 1:9). Through the blood, God will cleanse every sin from those coming to Him. And the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin (I John 1:7). Just as the blood of Jesus can cleanse people of all sin, it can cleanse people of all sicknesses, too. We find that healing is part of the two-fold atonement: With his stripes we are healed (Isaiah 53:5). With His blood stripes we are healed. Had there been no blood in those stripes, we would not have healing; but divine blood was there. When God sees you using the blood, you have deliverance. When He sees you using the blood for your healing, the healing is yours. God has provided the blood for more than salvation of your soul; God wants you to use it for your healing also. The blood applied to your soul will take you to heaven, but why not accept the full atonement and receive the healing you need for your body? Through the blood you can have deliverance. Accept the fact that the blood can cleanse you from sickness as well as sin. Everyone can qualify, can meet the conditions the Word sets forth. Salvation and healing are miracles that Jesus blood brought about, blood that was the result of the miraculous conception. Very man as well as very God, Jesus had an earth mother but a heavenly Father. The father furnishes all the blood, not the mother. Since Mary had been overshadowed by the Holy Ghost, no human blood flowed through Jesus; all of His blood was divine. Jesus was a human being with divine blood. Discern what great power is in the blood for any deliverance you may need. If you believe in the virgin birth, why should you doubt the blood and its power? Divine blood from heaven was in Jesus; not one drop of that divine blood was contaminated by the human race. Divine blood has the cure for cancer, heart trouble, diabetes, AIDS, or any other disease and sickness. Just as people can be delivered from their sins, they can be delivered from sickness and devil possession. The blood delivers people addicted to drugs, alcohol or cigarettes. Its all through the blood, saith the Lord; its all through the blood.
If you have an affliction, put it under the blood. Put deformities under the blood. The blood is sufficient. It has not lost its power; the blood has all power.
Today we dont need to rely on a token; we have the real thing, the precious blood of Jesus that was spilled on Calvary. Jesus brought divine blood for our salvation and for our healing. And the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you. Just as it protects your soul, the blood will protect your body when you use it. From Adam until Jesus the second Adam, divine blood was not available to people. But since Jesus became our sacrificial Lamb, it is available to everyone. When I see the blood, I will pass over you. The blood is for you to use; it brings protection. When he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the Lord will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you(Exodus 12:23). The devil destroys, sickness destroys. The Lord will not allow that destruction to come to you when you use the blood in all faith believing. The blood is well able to overcome the one seeking to destroy. The blood is sufficient. Jesus said, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness (II Corinthians 12:9). When the Lord said His grace is sufficient, He was saying that His blood is sufficient. We dont have that grace without His blood.
A Scarlet Thread
We see another vivid token of the blood in the book of Joshua. Joshua sent two men to spy out Jericho. While they were in the city, the harlot Rahab protected them. And it was told the king of Jericho, saying, Behold, there came men in hither to-night of the children of Israel to search out the country. And the woman took the two men, and hid them, and said thus, There came men unto me, but I wist not whence they were: And it came to pass about the time of shutting of the gate, when it was dark, that the men went out: whither the men went, I wot not: pursue after them quickly; for ye shall overtake them (Joshua 2:2,4,5). Rahab protected the Israelite spies and helped them escape because she realized that the hand of the Lord was upon them. She had heard how the Lord had dried up the Red Sea and how Israel had utterly destroyed the two kings of the Amorites. The hearts of Israels enemies became like water for fear. Because she had a mind God could use, because she believed the signs of God, Rahab was given a revelation of Israels victory. She recognized the almighty power of God and realized that the idol gods of her people were useless. Knowing the city would fall into the hands of Israel and be destroyed, Rahab had one request: a true token to assure her that she and her fathers house would be saved. The spies honored her request. They said: Behold, when we come into the land, thou shalt bind this line of scarlet thread in the window which thou didst let us down by: and thou shalt bring thy father, and thy mother, and thy brethren, and all thy fathers household home unto thee. And it shall be, that whosoever shall go out of the doors of thy house into the street, his blood shall be upon his head, and we will be guiltless: and whosoever shall be with thee in the house, his blood shall be on our head, if any hand be upon him (Joshua 2:18,19). When the city was taken by Israel, the young men that were spies went in, and brought out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all that she had; and they brought out all her kindred, and left them without the
camp of Israel. And Joshua saved Rahab the harlot alive, and her fathers household, and all that she had; and she dwelleth in Israel even unto this day; because she hid the messengers, which Joshua sent to spy out Jericho (Joshua 6:23,25). The token of the blood, the scarlet thread, had so much power that a whole family was saved. I say again, since a token can be so powerful, think what the divine blood of Jesus will do for you, soul, mind and body. The scarlet thread became Rahabs faith, her assurance and insurance; and she had peace. She didnt keep begging for safety. She asked for a true token and when it was given, she believed the promise of deliverance, and she gathered her family into her house. Treasuring the scarlet thread, she held it more dear than silver and gold. It was life to her.
If you have the blood applied to your heart, you should be exercising the characteristics of the blood and the fruits of the Spirit. If the fruits of the Spirit are not being produced in your life, you hinder healing, delay it. You are not meeting the qualifications.
The blood has in it divine compassion, divine faith, divine love, divine strength, divine healing, divine miraclesdivine, divine, divine. Do you believe in divine miracles? Do you believe in divine healing? All your divine healings and miracles for soul, mind and body come through Calvarys flow.
