The Blood Applied Pt. 3

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good evening. Welcome to a voice in the wilderness. I'm
Don Noble of Peerhart Ministries, and I welcome you today
with exceedingly abundantly and overflowing a joy. Well, it's good
to be with you this evening. I'm hoping to get
through this message without coughing, not feeling as well as

(00:21):
I'd like to. But last week we talked about applying
the blood, and I want to continue in that same
vein because I said that we would finish Hebrews chapter ten.
And the thing about these scriptures and Hebrews eight nine
and ten is how strongly they correlate with the Book

(00:43):
of Romans. And Paul writing the Book of Romans and
most likely wrote the Book of Hebrews, is giving us
a beautiful picture of how to understand what Christ sacrifice
did the power of that. Now he shares in Romans

(01:09):
how the sacrifice of Christ was made us righteous, cleansed
us from all unrighteousness. Yet what we see in the
Book of Hebrews is how did that happen? How exactly
did that happen under the Old Covenant? And now what

(01:32):
is it in the New Covenant that we have that
is so much better than what was in the Old Covenant.
And really this is a huge deal. I would tell
you that of all the things that I've ever taught,
I don't think there's anything more important than talking about
the blood of Jesus. Seriously, this is a very important topic.

(01:55):
I know many preachers won't even touch or talk about
the blood, but they are really leaving out a very
critical concept in understanding about our salvation and what Christ
did for us. Okay, I'll give you that every Christian

(02:18):
you know we're coming up to Easter, knows that Jesus
shed his blood on the cross. But do they know
the purpose of the blood. Well, they may know that, yes,
their sins were redeemed. I mean they were redeemed, their
sins were washed away by the blood of Jesus. But
what else about the blood is necessary for us to know?

(02:43):
So I think that this topic and I talk about
it every you know, every Easter season, and I talk
about it because you need to know about it, and
there's so much to talk about. My gosh, I could
I could keep going past the Easter season, past resurrection, Sonny,

(03:04):
keep talking about the blood to you, but we will
go back to starting in Hebrews chapter ten. I'm going
to be reading out of the New Living Translation because
I think it's a little easier to help you understand.
And then i'll finish in the new King James version

(03:24):
with other scriptures from another chapter. So this is Hebrews
chapter ten, verse starting with verse one. The old system
under the Law of Moses was only a shadow, a shadow,
a dim preview of the good things to come, not
the good things themselves. The sacrifices under that system were

(03:47):
repeated again and again year after year, but they were
never that's a keyword. They were never able to provide
perfect cleansing for those who came to worship. If they
could have provided perfect cleansing, thus sacrifices would have stopped
for the worshipers would have been purified once for all time,

(04:10):
and their feelings of guilt would have disappeared. So that
old system was a very dim preview of what was
to come in the future, meaning that you know, under
the old system, animals were being shed, I mean they

(04:35):
were being killed, and their blood was being shed, bulls
and goats, and then it was just giving us a
preview of the good things to come, which was going
to be Jesus blood was going to be shed. So
if those sacrifices back under the old system and the

(04:59):
law Moses, if those sacrifices year after year, over and over,
if they had been able to provide a perfect cleansing
for the individuals, well there would have been no need
for Jesus to come and do it. If that had
if that had accomplished, everything had provided perfect cleansing, and

(05:25):
they had been purified once for all time, you know,
then there would be no further need. I mean, those
sacrifices would have stopped now. But instead those sacrifices actually
Verse three says those sacrifices actually reminded them of their

(05:46):
sins year after year. For it is not possible for
the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.
That is why when Christ came into the world, he
said to God, the Father, you did not want animal
sacrifices or sin offerings, but you've given me a body
to offer. You were not pleased with burnt offerings or

(06:09):
other offerings for sin. Then I said, that's Christ saying this.
Then I said he's saying that to the Father. Look,
I've come to do your will, oh God, as is
written about me in the scriptures, so you know, we

(06:29):
see very clearly black and white. It was not possible
for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sin. No,
it's why Christ came into the world, the scripture saying,
and then he tells God, hey, you never wanted those
animal sacrifices. You wanted me to give my body, and

(06:52):
that's what I've come to do. I've come to do
your will because my body is going to be an offering.
My body is going to be the sacrifice because you
were never pleased with those burnt offerings and all those
other offerings for sin. It's about me doing your will God,
because it's written about me in the scriptures. You did

(07:16):
not want animal sacrifices or sin offerings, or burnt offerings
or other offerings for sin, nor were you pleased with them,
though they are required by the law of Moses. Then
he said, look, I have come to do your will.
So Jesus cancels the first covenant in order to put

(07:38):
the second into effect. For God's will was for us
to be made holy by the sacrifice of the body
of Jesus Christ, once for all time. And that's probably
the key Jesus' sacrifice was to make us holy once

(08:00):
for all time, to give us, to provide for us
eternal life Verse eleven. Under the Old Covenant, the priest
stands and ministers before the altar day after day, offering
the same sacrifices again and again, which can never take

(08:25):
away sins. But our High Priest offered himself to God
as a single sacrifice for sins, good for all time.
Then he sat down in play in the place of honor,
at God's right hand. There he waits until his enemies
are humbled, and made a footstool footstool under his feet. Now,

(08:50):
you know, sometimes we can just gloss over things and
you know, not really pay attention. But see, this is
so important because when it says our High Priest to is,
Jesus offered himself to God as a single sacrifice, one time,
one person, for all sins, and it was good forever.

(09:18):
So those are key things. Jesus offered himself as a
single sacrifice to God for all sins, for all time, forever.
And then after he did that, he sat down at
God's right hand verse fourteen. For by that one offering,

(09:45):
he Jesus forever made perfect. Those who are being made
holy that's you and I. So his blood sacrifice. Through
that blood sacrifice, he made us holy. He made us

(10:06):
perfect those who are being made holy and verse fifteen.
And the Holy Spirit also testifies that this is so.
For he says, this is the new covenant I will
make with my people. On that day, says the Lord,
I'll put my laws in their hearts, and I'll write

(10:26):
them on their minds. And then he says, I will
never again remember their sins and lawless deeds. Well, that's
a whole radical new concept, this new covenant. You know,
why is it a better covenant with better promises? Because
we don't have we don't have a stone that has

(10:53):
all these commandments on written on them and you know,
hanging in the kitchen, and we look at those every
day and we go, okay, yeah, okay, I didn't commit
that one. Yeah, No, I didn't kill anybody. No, I
didn't steal. No. He says, his laws are now inside

(11:14):
of our heart, and they're written inside of our on
our mind. So it's a whole different ballgame. It's not
about works, it's about loving God. It's about now having
a transformed life and wanting to do the will of God,

(11:36):
not out of compunction, not out of because it's written
over there in those tablets of stone. No, now it's
written on my heart, and I want to do everything
I can to please the Lord Verse eighteen. And when
sins had been forgiven, there is no need to offer

(11:57):
any more sacrifices. So those sacrifices were the blood of
the bulls and the goats being sacrificed. That was to
forgive the people's sins. Well, when Jesus died and shed
his blood on the cross, that took care of our sins.

(12:19):
We became forgiven. So Jesus didn't have to die again,
didn't have to offer his body again. It didn't have
to happen over and over and over repeatedly. No one time,
one time. And in that one action on the cross,

(12:39):
that one shedding of blood on the cross removed our
sins forever. He says, I will never again remember their
sins and lawless deeds. Now, you know, you go back
to Romans eight one. Now, therefore there is no condemnation
to them who are in Christ Jesus, and that is

(13:02):
the truth. When Jesus said, I don't remember their's sins
and lawless deeds anymore, it's done. Then, how is it
that after we get born again we still sin. Are
we condemned? No? No, because scripture says now therefore there

(13:27):
is no condemnation, no condemnation. We're not condemned anymore. We
have been made free, we have been made holy. But
the Holy Spirit does convict us of sin. And if
we keep sinning, it's because our mind is not renewed.

(13:51):
We have to have a renewed mind. And you can
only get a renewed mind by reading God's word. It
renews your mind Verse nineteen. And so, dear brothers and sisters,
we can boldly enter Heaven's most holy place because of
the blood of Jesus. Jesus brought that blood with him

(14:14):
to the holy place in heaven. And guess what you
and I. Scripture says we can boldly come to the
throne of grace. I mentioned last week when Jesus took
his last breath, and that curtain in the temple came

(14:39):
just separated in two, like as if it were just
sliced open with a machete from top to bottom. Supernaturally.
That signified access. That signified I don't need a man

(15:03):
going into a little room with blood for me any longer,
because Jesus accomplished that with his death on the cross.
Now I have complete access. Now listen to the scripture
verse twenty. By his death, Jesus opened a new and

(15:27):
life giving way through the curtain into the most holy place.
So now this is so important. Now we have access
to Jesus. I don't have to go through the high priest.
I don't have to have the blood of bulls and
goats and all that stuff. No, no, no, that's the

(15:48):
old system. Jesus has a better covenant. I can just
come boldly to the Throne of Grace. I can bring
my concerns to him. I have access to him. I
don't need to go through any human being to access Jesus.
Now I have freely been given access a new and

(16:11):
life giving way through that curtain into the most holy place.
That's amazing. Think about that. See, we kind of take
that for granted that we can just, you know, in
our prayer time, you know, boldly come to the Lord,
boldly come to that throne of grace. Well, those people

(16:33):
under the old law could not do that. Ever, they
had to have that high priest go on their behalf. Well,
that system is over with. We have a better way,
a new covenant, new life giving. It's a new and
living way that Jesus provided. And then he says in

(16:54):
verse twenty one, and since we have a great high
priest who rules over God's house, let us go right
into the presence of God with sincere hearts, fully trusting him.
For our guilty consciences have been sprinkled with Christ's blood
to make us clean, and our bodies have been washed

(17:15):
with pure water, pure water. I mean, there you have it.
We can go right in to the presence of God.
Because Jesus is now our high priest. He already accomplished
that whole thing. And now I and you and every

(17:37):
other believer in Christ can go right into the presence
of God with a sincere heart, fully trusting him, knowing
that He's for us and not against us. And our
guilty conscience has been sprinkled with the blood to make
us clean, and our bodies have been washed with pure water.
So we've been made holy. Our consciences have been cleaned.

(18:00):
That's huge, But that was accomplished with blood. That could
only have happened because of the blood of Jesus being shed.
So I hope. You are now beginning to understand the

(18:20):
power of His blood. It redeemed you from death, from
hell and from the grave, because you're never going to die,
You're never going to hell, and you have eternal life.

(18:42):
So that's the power of the blood of Jesus, the
redeeming power of the blood. Hallelujah. Verse twenty three. I
just want to do twenty three to twenty five, and
then we're gonna switch over here. The writer says, let

(19:06):
us hold tightly without wavering, to the hope we affirm,
for God can be trusted to keep his promise. I mean,
if there's anybody that can keep a promise, it's God.
Most people can't keep a promise. Very few people can
keep a promise. But God can be trusted to keep

(19:28):
his promise. Let us think verse twenty four of ways
to motivate one another to acts of love and good works.
And let us not neglect our meeting together as some
people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the
day of his return is drawing near. Okay, now I
want to read from Ephesians Chapter one, verses three through seven,

(19:57):
and the new King James blessed be the God and
Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us
with every spiritual blessing in heavenly places in Christ, just
as he chose us in him before the foundation of
the world, that we should be holy and without blame
before him in love, having predestined us to adoption as

(20:19):
sons by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good
pleasure of his will, to the praise of the glory
of his grace, by which he has made us accepted
in the Beloved. In him, we have redemption through his blood,

(20:39):
the forgiveness of sins according to the riches of his grace.
So the fact that Christ died on the cross, that
was according to the good pleasure of his will, and

(21:03):
he made us accepted in the Beloved, and we have
redemption through his blood. The forgiveness is so sins are
forgiven because of his blood. So it really does hurt
my heart when I think of the current day Church
that just really neglects the power of the blood. It

(21:24):
doesn't give it its proper emphasis in the teaching and
the preaching of the Word. And because of that, you know,
there's so many Christians who are spiritually anemic, their guilt
ridden you know, from one Sunday to the next, and

(21:47):
they don't realize that their heavenly Father actually provided a
supernatural ability for them to overcome all the affairs of life.
We don't have to live like that. We're supposed to
live a victorious life while or here on the earth, okay,
And they can't access that ability because it's through the faith.

(22:11):
You have to have faith in the power of Jesus blood.
So their lack of knowledge about the blood prevents them
from believing and receiving all the benefits of the blood.
You know, faith comes by hearing Romans ten seventeen. Faith
comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. Therefore,

(22:36):
faith in the blood comes from hearing the word about
the blood. So what is the Blood saying to you
and I as believers today, Well, we've been forgiven. I
just read that to you in Ephesians one. You're forgiven

(22:58):
and you're accepted in the beloved because if Jesus shed blood,
we have forgiveness of sins. And you know what, the
devil can't do anything about that. He is powerless to
change that powerless. So forgiveness is freedom, it's deliverance, it's liberty.

(23:26):
It's release from bondage and imprisonment. And so through the
blood of Jesus, we have been freed from the false
guilt and sin induced failures that once held us in bondage.
We're free. So we've been delivered from thee Think about this,

(23:49):
You've been delivered from the fear of eternal punishment. Got
to give you some peace, not how to you know,
settle you down. See, we don't have to live a
life filled with struggle, turmoil, dread, hopelessness. Now we have

(24:13):
been freed from all sin, all guilt, all shame. We're
free from that now. If you still feel those things,
let me just say this. If you still feel any
of that, then you don't understand God's word, and nobody's

(24:33):
teaching you properly because Romans eight one. Now, therefore there
is no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus.
So if you're condemning yourself with you know, guilt and
shame and whatever, then you don't understand. You're a new

(24:59):
creator created in Christ Jesus, a new creation. The old
man is dead, dead dead dead, Okay, so why are
you still doing these things? Because you haven't renewed your mind.
And because someone hasn't taught you about the power of
the blood, nor have they taught you about how to

(25:19):
renew your mind. So I'm just trying to help you
here today. Really, and then the blood applied to us
means that we can now enter into rest. God rested

(25:41):
on the seventh day, and on that day the earth
man's home was finished. God provided mankind with everything to
live a victorious, abundant and blessed life. That's where we
should be today. We should be living this abundant, victorious
and blessed life because He completed his work, he entered

(26:04):
his rest, and and you and I have because of
being born again, because of the blood shed on Calvary,

(26:25):
we get to enter that rest. See, by faith we
can step into all that God has provided through the death, burial, resurrection,
and ascension of Jesus. By faith and through his blood,
we can enter into the rest of right standing with God,

(26:49):
knowing or complete in Jesus. He's blessed us with every
spiritual blessing in heavenly places. And when you know that
you're forgiven, there's rest for your soul. Right if you
know you are completely forgiven, and you are if you've
made that step, then you have rest for your soul.

(27:14):
You don't have to struggle in your own flesh. And
I don't know about you, but to me, that's man,
that is that is peace, that is rest. You know.
Isaiah one to eighteen says it this way. Though your
sins be a scarlet, they shall be as white as snow,

(27:37):
Though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
That means, no matter how soiled, No, there's no struggle,
struggle for cleansing. All you have to do is receive
this by faith. Just by faith. It's like getting a fresh, clean,
hot shower. You know it's wonderful. Then you know that's

(28:02):
how you can live every day. When Jesus said on
the cross it's finished, he provided a cleansing for you
and for I on the inside. He knew, he knew
you couldn't wash that part of yourself. You needed help.
And so forgiveness is a covenant promise that's been ratified,

(28:26):
approved of by the blood. It is settled, it is finish.
Agree with what has been done. Amen, Well this is down, noble.
