In these last
days, when the modern day churches are still so filled
with the unbiblical traditions of men, rather than just
worshipping the Lord Jesus Christ according to his
word, one of the errors that is being
practiced in the religious circles today which, to this
teacher, stands out as perhaps the most offensive to God
Almighty, is the blasphemous practice of "pleading
the blood"...
By this act (which is neither taught nor practiced
anywhere in the Bible), those who believe they are
Christians think themselves to be causing the blood of Christ to be used for
protection, salvation, or otherwise blessing, upon other
people or situations, or against an enemy, by the
supposed act of "pleading" it with a
vocal command; very much as if they had that blood in a
spray gun, and were able to just shoot it at whatever
target they wanted to for whatever reason
they thought good.
Where did these people get
the idea that they could do this? Or even that it would
be a good thing for them to do?
They do it because the DEAD denominations
they belong to do it; and death does as death sees: in
other words, those who feed on dead bread
(the vain traditions of the organized Laodicean churches)
are as blind as those who feed it to them (their false
teachers and seminary-bred pastors). And so, as the blind
lead the blind, both fall into the ditch, all the while
believing that they were on their way to the kingdom;
except that their belief was not
from the word of God, but rather from the teachings of
men...
Let us look at the word of
God,
and see what it says about
the blood of Christ.
Leviticus
17:11
"For
the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have
given it to you upon the altar to
make an atonementfor your souls: for it
is the blood that maketh an atonement for the
soul."
Matthew
26:28
"For
this is my blood of the new testament, which is
shed for many for
the remission of sins."
Romans
3:25
"...through
faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for
the remission of sins
that are past...
Romans
5:9
"...being
now justified
by his blood...
Ephesians
1:7, Colossians 1:14
"In
whom we have redemption through his blood, the
forgiveness of sins..."
It should be clear by these passages from God's word that
the blood
of Christ Jesus was shed for one
reason only: for the
remission of sins.
Period.
And the Bible tells us very clearly how to receive
the remission of sins which was bought for every man by
that blood---
"Repent, and be baptized
every one of you
in the name of Jesus Christ
for the remission of
sins..."
Acts 2:38.
That's it. The blood of Christ is precious (1 Peter 1:19); and it was
poured out in selfless, unequalled love for
the purpose of redeeming the sons of men from their sins;NOT for the unlearned to go
around "pleading" it all
over everything and everybody as if they could use it to
save, heal, or deliver people at their will, to make
their organizations look as if they are really doing a
great work for the Lord!
Christians have an all-powerful and victorious weapon to
use against the enemy (Satan). This weapon may be used
rightly and without fail against sickness, disease, lies,
addictions, heresies, sorceries, and every stronghold of
the Devil. We see it used by Jesus, and by his church,
all throughout the New Testament of the Bible. This
weapon is the WORD OF GODand the NAME OF JESUS CHRIST!
Luke
10:1
”…Lord,
even the devils are subject unto us through
thy name.”
Mark
16:17
“…In
my name
shall they cast out devils…”
Acts
3:6
“In
the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth
rise up and walk.”
Acts
10:38
“How
God anointed Jesus
of Nazareth with
the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about
doing good, and healing
all that were oppressed of the devil…”
The “sword of the spirit” is the word of God (Ephesians 6:17); and it is the
offensive weapon we have been given with which to assault
the strongholds of the enemy. And the power of his word
is-
his name!
Psalm
138:2
“…for
thou hast magnified thy wordabove all thy name.”
John
14:14
“If
ye shall ask
anything in my name,
I will do it.”
The SWORD is the offensive
weapon, and the NAME is the authority
that makes it effectual…and that is the power that
the Lord Jesus has put into the hands (or mouths) of his
saints.
You can “plead the blood” against
the devil all day long; and he will only laugh at you and
continue to devour, just as if you were threatening him
with a crucifix, or garlic, or a silver bullet… you
are merely repeating the rhetoric of the religious
deceived, and that rhetoric is called in the Bible,
“doctrines of devils”(1 Timothy 4:1), because that
is precisely where it comes from! Devils have put
“rubber swords“, if you will, into the hands of
the lost, apathetic, deceived multitudes of the modern
churches, so that they are no threat to them at all
anymore!
Imagine how much you could get away with if you were a
devil, and you had successfully replaced the real
swords in the hands of your enemy with rubber
ones…how much would you fear them now? That is
precisely how much the devils fear the half-hearted,
lukewarm, fake Christians of the Laodicean churches
today, who run around in their misdirected zeal (for they
know neither the Lord Jesus Christ nor his gospel),
screaming, “I plead the blood against you,
Devil!” These false soldiers are a joke and a mockery among the ranks
of the powers of darkness; they are no
threat at all…just
entertainment for the wicked one and his hoardes…
That is the lighter side of this tragedy.
The other side, much more grave, is the reality that
these poor lost souls will one day stand before the
judgment seat of Christ Jesus, and be compelled to give
account for the blasphemous way they have despised the PRECIOUS
BLOOD that was shed for them by Christ Jesus,
and misused the name of the Lord by pretending to put
that precious blood where it did not belong, and where
they had no authority, and for purposes which the Lord
never commanded.
It is written in the scripture,
"And they overcame him
by the blood of the Lamb, and by
the word of their testimony;
and they loved not their lives
unto the death."
(Revelation 12:11).
But the way that they [the redeemed] overcame him [the
Dragon-Satan] by the blood of the Lamb was by
the remission of their sins. Therefore the
"accuser of our brethren" (verse 10) was powerless
to accuse them!
And, the "word of their testimony" is the word of God which is in their
mouths, with which they "cast down
imaginations" (2 Corinthians 10:5), and overcome
the lies of the Devil with the TRUTH
of God Almighty!
So don't let the ear-tickling teachers in the modern
churches today decieve you by misapplying ONE
verse of the scripture, and telling you it means
something that has NOTHING TO DO WITH THE REST OF
THE SCRIPTURE!
Never once did the Lord Jesus say that his blood was to
be "pleaded" as a weapon
against the devil, or to defend the lost, or to rebuke
sickness, or powers of darkness! The blood of Christ was
poured out for the remission of sins;
not to be used as a weapon and thrown about to and fro at
the will of the unlearned and brutish, who know only the
flesh. Those who continue in this vain tradition of men
will utterly perish in their own corruption.
At the same time, there are those few who will read these
words, and will see from the testimony of the word of God
herein, that this message is truth, and they will repent
of their error and walk in righteousness and in victory
over the powers of darkness by rightly dividing the word
of God, and rightly using the arsenal with which the true
bride of Christ has been equipped.
That is the reason for this epistle. The wicked know not
judgment. They will not hear and repent. But the seed of
Christ will; that is, those who are born of his word, and
in whom is his life. If you can hear this message, you
are one of those, beloved.
I beseech you in the name of Jesus Christ our risen Lord
and Master, to stop performing the deeds
of the Laodiceans [Laodiceans means the people of
God’s wrath], and be very careful to search
the scriptures to see whether any of the things
you do or say in the service of the Lord Jesus
Christ are according to his word, or not.
Believe what I say to you in the name of the Lord Jesus
Christ, little ones; the churches today still have very
much to be washed from; and the abomination described in
this epistle is just one of the many things that
people are doing in the churches today, thinking that
they are pleasing God, when in reality (according to the
Bible) all they are doing is incensing him
more and more!
And their day is coming, when they shall hear the Lord
whom they thought they were serving say unto them,
“I never knew you;
depart from me, ye that work
iniquity.”
(Matthew 7:23)
The precious blood of Christ is powerful to wash away
sins when we obey the gospel of God (Acts 2:38).
Those who know not the Lord Jesus, and despise the
sacrifice of his blood, shall perish (Hebrews 10:29).
In the day of judgment, the zeal of the lost for their
vain religious traditions will profit them nothing. Only
those who have obeyed the word of Christ will prevail in
that day!
(Revelation 22:14)
Be blessed as you
seek and serve the Lord Jesus Christ with all your heart,
beloved.
Behold, he cometh
quickly, and his reward is with him, to give every man
according as his work shall be.
Maranatha!
