1 Peter 2:24, “…………. By his wounds you are healed.”
7 places Our Lord & Saviour shed His blood
These are 7 places where the blood of Jesus was shed & can be applied in our lives. To apply the blood means to have truth & nothing but the truth of God. (1 John 3:8) The truth in the blood gives us the mind of Christ. When the blood flows, truth flows. We must resist the devil with the blood. When the blood is used God becomes your Judge & Jury.
1. At Gethsemane where He sweated drops of blood. Luke 22:44– our relationship broken in the garden & fixed in the garden. He destroyed the evil altar of toiling & sweating.
2. Struck on His face: Matthew 26:67
Your face is your glory. He destroyed the evil altar of slander & lies which is keeping us from prospering. He took away anything that would disfigure who you are in His Kingdom.
3. His beard was torn from His face. Isaiah.50:6
He broke the altar of Shame & low self esteem.
Beard is a symbol of honor in the Hebrew culture. He did not want us to experience shame ever. For our shame He will give us double honour Isaiah 61:7.
4. He was scourged on His back Psalm 103:3, Isaiah 53:5. 39 stripes for every disease known to man, past, present & future, so that you & I could be healed.
5. Crown of Thorns were placed forcefully into His skull Mathew 27:29, Mark 15:17, John 19:2 so that the curse of poverty (Gen 3:18) be broken over us, & prosperity & financial abundance be our portion.
6. Crucified, 3 nails – 2 in His Hands & feet represent the work of your hands & our walk. He paid the price for you & me & destroyed the evil altars of unproductiveness & fruitlessness i.e., nothing will be aborted that belongs to us. We can live a productive life.
7. They pierced His side John 19:34. In this He did 2 things a) He gave birth to the church, His bride. (Just as God put first Adam to sleep & Eve was brought forth, so God put last Adam to sleep on the cross & we His bride came forth) and b) He died of a broken heart, so that everyone who feels broken, through traumatic experiences etc, can be mended.
Prayer
Thank you, Lord Jesus, for shedding Your blood. We apply your blood over all these areas in our lives, our families & all those we come in contact with and The Holy Spirit is ever present in us to remind us that the blood of Jesus has made us totally forgiven & eternally righteous. The Holy Spirit applies the blood & seals our souls with the blood. The devil cannot break that seal. We seal these decrees in the mighty name of Jesus, Amen!
