Speaker 2 (02:39):
We're getting ready to go into October. September seventh, these
days moving swiftly. I'm sharing this with you right now.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
If you've never been serious about God, or if you're
some things that you have been putting on the back
burner that you have not been doing, that you keep
telling God you're going to do, or you keep telling
yourself that you I'm going to do, I would say
the time is now to do it. I would say
the time and now the day that you hear his
(03:08):
voice heart, not your heart keep putting off that which
God tells you to do. Hallelujah. All right, you guys,
open up your bibles. We are going to talk about
First Sunday, We're going to talk about the blood. We're
(03:29):
going to talk about the blood. I mean, I'm sure
many of you have heard the statement. I have heard
the statement covered by the blood of Jesus. I know
you've heard the statement covered by the blood of Jesus.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Well, covered by the blood of Jesus. Remember that.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Turn with me quickly. I'm going through a few scriptures
one Peter Chapter one. First Peter Chapter one. I'm gonna
start at verse nineteen. Just read two verses. I want
(04:13):
to keep this the Lord bless me to keep it
simple and pure verse nineteen and twenty. But with the
precious blood of Christ. But with the precious blood of
Christ as of a lamb without blemish and without spot,
(04:38):
who rarely was for ordained before the foundation of the world,
but was manifested in these last times for you. In
other words, because of the blood of Jesus Christ, who
was ordained before the foundation the world to be a
(05:01):
sacrifice for our sins. He shared, his blood was shed
for our sins for you, to everyone who will receive
this gift, this precious gift that is given by God.
For God so loved the world that he gave his
(05:21):
only begotten son, that whosoever believe in him should not perish,
but have what everlasting life.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
John three sixteen. Listen to this.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Covered by the Blood. Covered by the Blood is a
Christian concept signifying that jesus sacrificial death and shed blood
have provided redemption, forgiveness and cleansing from sin.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
For believers. Everyone who believes it.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Means that through faith in Christ, what he did and
what he took tart. A believer's sins are forgiven, they
are no longer condemned, and they have access listen, and
(06:27):
they have access to God's grace, protection and fellowship. This
belief is rooted in the Old Testament concept of atonement
or another word for atonement, a full payment of a
(06:48):
debt old through the blood sacrifice that were done by animals,
but now making Jesus that perfect and only sacrifice we
will ever need. Before there were animals every year that
(07:10):
were brought to the altar, not preferably, but it was
ordered by them to have an animal, particular animals for
particular sin that were unblemished, first born, and in specificity
to God's direction for that sin and for that animal,
(07:31):
there were specifications given.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
To each of them.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
But Jesus is that perfect sacrifice, who knew no sin,
who died for our sins, the sins of the world,
that we might be forgiven to those who received his death,
burial and resurrection for his or her.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Atonement from sin.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
All right, now, aspects of being covered by the blood,
you need to know this kis when they use the
term covered by the blood or the covenant that was
sealed by the blood of Jesus Christ. Kia expects can
be found in Exodus chapter twelve. Write this down, Exodus
(08:19):
chapter twelve. Exodus chapter twelve. Write it down Chapter twelve,
starting at verse twelve. Listen, this is what God tells
Moses to tell the people. For I will pass through
(08:40):
the land of Egypt this night and will smite all
the first born in the land of Egypt, both man
and beast, and against all all the gods. Now, when
he said all the gods, he spoke These these gods
(09:00):
were beliefs, systems, customs, principles, and are things that people
put that trust or belief or state their lives on,
anything that they will put in a position of authority
over themselves. God came to destroy every one of them
(09:25):
of Egyptians. I will execute judgment. I am the lord
every one of the gods of the Egyptians. God, hallelujah.
He came against every last one of them verse thirteen.
And the blood shall be on you For a token.
(09:46):
He used the blood sacrifice. He told Israel to obey
everything that he said as a token. Now this where
token means a part, a part representing the whole, just
as a token upon the houses where you where ye are,
(10:08):
every house that they were resided.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
In, hallelujah.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
And when I see the blood, I will pass over you,
and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy
you when I smite the land of Egypt. So the
phrase covered by the blood also means your protection, hallelujah.
(10:35):
Verse fourteen. And this day shall ye be up, and
this day shall be unto you For a memorial, we
know what that means.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Something designed to preserve in your memory. Hallelujah.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
We should keep hallujah the communion. The Bible says, as
often as you do this this and remembrance of me, halloyuh,
you put this in your memory, and you shall keep
it a feast to the Lord throughout your generations.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Okay, and you.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Shall keep it a feast by an ordinance forever.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Listen.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
That's verse fourteen, verses one three eleven provides the details
the instruction Moses gave to the people on how God
wanted them to prepare themselves for his passover. This is
called the Lord's passover. Obedience. Listen, as it was then
(11:46):
and it still is now, obedience to every detail is
key to their protection. Same as with you guys, with us,
with me obedience to Jesus said this when he came
out of the wilderness. Man should not live back Bretter alone.
(12:07):
But by every word that proceeded out of the mouth
of God. Now what does the word every mean? All complete?
Not one John or Til of his world should diminuce
(12:29):
from our obedience.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Hello, somebody, we shall obey every word.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
We can't pick and choose what we want to obey
God here, because if you disobeying, won you disobeying all?
I apologize. God demands obedience. Hallelujh. He demands obedience. To
obey is better than sacrifice. Samuel told Saul in First
(13:00):
Samuel fifteen twenty two. If Adam had obeyed God, listen
to this, if God showed me this, If Adam had
obeyed God, that would be no need for a sacrifice.
But Adam did not obey God. He's sin. Therefore by sin,
(13:22):
that by by one man sin, this obedience sin came
into the world. Now through man, one man's obedience Jesus
to Christ, salvation has come. Deliverance from that we're talking
about covered by the blood. Hallelujah. Let's talk about redemption
(13:46):
from sin. What does that involve? What does that involve
when the blood of Jesus Christ was shed, the perfect
lamb of God that knew no sin, who took on
our sins. Listen to this. The Bible says he hung
(14:11):
from the cross, and as when he hung from the cross,
the Bible said that God turned his faith from you.
Jesus said, told ask God Father, why hast doubt forsaken me?
He turned his faith from his own son, because he
(14:32):
looked like ours. He took the sins of the world
upon himself, and he became the perfect blood sacrifice. Now
this is key, because he had not sin, sin or
the devil or the law had took him illegally. The
(14:55):
law was made for the lawless, and Jesus was not
one of those, but it mistook him for someone that
had sinned, and thereby giving him the freedom to die
for us to pay the price. Since he had died,
(15:18):
he gave that gift to us, that pardon to us.
Work will covered by the blood. It's under the blood.
So now you have the freedom to live according to
the will of God. Now there's going to be a
struggle in the flesh, because the corner mind is the
(15:43):
enemy of God. Neither indeed, on work can do the
will of God. So you have to be transforming your mind.
Why because the spirit of life that is in Christ
will make you free from the law of sin and death.
You have to be transforming your mind. Hallelujah. Look at it.
Look at this redemption from sin. The blood of Jesus
(16:06):
saves as a serves as a payment for the sins
of the world, offering freedom from spiritual captivity. And if
God will physical captivity as well too, but definitely spiritual captivity.
(16:27):
If God will from physical captivity, cose. Remember some of
the things that God will deliver. He wants you to
deliver your soul. He wants to deliver you so you
can be brought to heaven. But some things he will
allow to stay in nobody. Remember Paul. Paul had a
(16:47):
thorn in his side and God would not deliver him
from it. God said, my grace is sufficient. Some things
are needed for the purpose of God to exist. But
He will give you the stress to endure whatever affliction
that you're going through, or he may decide to deliver you.
But that's God's reasoning, and that's God's will for his purpose.
(17:12):
Because it's not You don't belong to yourself anymore. Remember
that when Jesus comes into your heart to be your
lord as well as savior. Listen to me to be
your lord, to be your master, be your master teacher.
You don't belong to yourself anymore. You belong to God.
Your body. Paul tells us to give our bodies to
(17:34):
God as living sacrifices. Okay, now listen. One of the
attributes of redemption is forgiveness of sins. Through the blood,
sins are forgiven, and a record of debt against believers
is canceled out.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Everything that you did in life.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
That was sin against God and to God against others's
canceled out. Whether or not other people forgive you or not,
God cancels it. Now God will start moving because he's
lord over your life now to do things to facilitate
(18:19):
that you are delivered from that that behavior, that mindset,
that way of talking, that way of doing things. Remember
your change, your You're being changed now into a new creation.
You're being changed and look more like the Father instead
(18:41):
of like Satan Uh, the one who uh Uh was
cast out of heaven. Cleansing and purity is another thing
that you get through this redemption of sin. Cleansing and purity.
Believers are pure from sin by walking. Listen to this
(19:03):
walking in the light of Christ, the truth, walking in
the truth according to the Word of God. And I'm
not talking about what we call truth. I'm talking about
the Word of God is truth. Remember Jesus told his
disciples you were not able to receive the spirit of
truth at one time, but through me you can receive it. Hallelujah.
(19:27):
Through the truth, and which is made possible by the blood.
This is made possible by the blood. This is made
possible by the blood beforehand Satan, who was the father
of lies. We lived in that concept. We lived in
that behavior. We would occasionally lie, even go to the
(19:49):
point that say things that we didn't even know about,
in order to lift ourselves up as though we knew things,
and though we were all that in the bag of chip.
And sometimes we talk about things that we had no
idea what we're talking about, just to look good in
front of people.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Hallelujah.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Atonement the shedding of blood. Blood is seen as the
ultimate atonement, the ultimate payment or payment for sin, providing
a permanent solution that was only temporary in the Old Testament.
The shedding of the blood of the animal is the
(20:30):
only temporary. They had to go every year and do
it over again. But when Jesus died, he died once
and for all all who would receive him. So the
Gospel of Jesus Christ has preached in all the world
for anyone that would receive it, so they can be saved.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Hallelujah.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Access to God, being covered by the blood grants access
to God through throne room, allowing for direct and ongoing
or continuous fellowship with the Father. The Bible tells us
(21:12):
one of the things that the Lord told me years
ago was men should always pray in that faith. And
I wondered, excuse me, in my mind, how was I
going to always pray? How was I going to always pray?
Literally always pray and knowing that sin separates from God.
(21:34):
And the Lord said, keep on living and what he
was talking about, keep on walking in the light of
the truth, keep on doing that which doing those things
which I say is right. Okay, you got to be
careful to listen to the voice of God. Like he
told Moses. One day he might tell him to hit
(21:54):
the rock, and the next day he might tell him
to speak to the rock. But you got to ovad
a voice. It's what God tells you that it's righteous. Hello, somebody,
So we are we are, we are two when we come,
we have access to God through our fellowship with God
(22:16):
on a continuous face. And he said, keep on living.
And as I'm under the power of the Holy Ghost,
was led into doing the best I could to do
what the Word said.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
I would find myself repenting along the way.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Lord, I wasn't able to do this, or I don't
feel like doing that, or I don't think like this,
or that's not the way I do things. But God said,
this is the way you need a door. So I
would go forth asking God to help me to be
a doer of the word and not just a hero.
Only am I making sense? I wanted to be a
(22:54):
door and not just a hero. So I had to
ask God to help me to do that that increase
my fellowship with God in faith and being in His
presence because I was always asking Him for help. Hello,
Lordly God always ask him and still do.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
There's there's not too.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Many times in my life right now that I think
I got it right. All the time, I'm always trying
to counsel God, this should I say this, or should
I do that, or should I think this? Or I
need to bring that thought and I don't need to
have that thought, or I don't need to do this
with my hands, or I need to rethink this. Always
(23:42):
in counsel with God. So where it's true, men should
always pray and not faith.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Holler uh.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Similar to the pastover. Similar to the past over is
another one similar to the Passover, when blood on the
doorpost was sprinkled or put on the doorpost that it
protected the Israelites. When God, when the spirit of death
(24:16):
went over them and seen the blood on the doorpost,
and it went over them, did not go into the
house and killed the firstborn. Believers are thought to be
divinely protected. I'm gonna change that thought. I know I'm
divinely protected under the blood of Jesus. I'm a witness
(24:42):
of his divine protection. Really all in all things that
God has done from me from that time forward to
this time right now, I'm a witness of this, the
covering of the blood, because of God's covenant towards me.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
What God said he would do to do for those who.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Are His Hello, somebody, Justification is what I'm gonna speak
about the last one. I'm gonna speak about it. This
process makes believers right with God. We're justified because you believe.
(25:24):
And when you believe, you do what you believe. Right.
If you believe a cheer is going to support you,
you sit in it.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Hello.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
If you believe that driving a car, uh, getting up
under stead where it's gonna take you to the store,
you get in the car started up. Hello. So, if
you believe that God is God and he can you
operate in the will of God. Believers right with the
(25:56):
process of making believers right with God. As he sees
his son and them rather than their sin, why why
does he see the son? Because you you, you mimic
the son. You are a doer of the words. You're
the doer of what he said. Jesus told his disciples this.
(26:20):
They were questioning about God, and he said, if you've
seen me, you've seen the Father. And one of the
things that he said was that I only say those
things that.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
My father tells me Holy Ghost.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Likewise, I only said Holy only said those things that
Jesus said, right. Jesus also said, I only do those
things that my father tells me to do. Why so
he can look his image is like the Father. We're
not talking about a physical image characteristics like that. I'm
(27:04):
talking about attributes, character purpose in life. What is your
heart about? What are you about? In essence? Are you
about yourself? Or you about all those that are around you?
LifeWise experiencing the depth and the love of the Father
(27:26):
as well forgetting about yourself and allowing the Holy Spirit
to lead you and guide you into truth.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Hallelujah.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
We talked about the covering of the blood, these attributes
that God, that God has prepared for us. How it
works is like this, John, write this down, John, First John,
excuse me, Chapter one, verse seven. First John, Chapter one,
(27:58):
verse seven.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Look at it.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
It says this, But if we walk in the light,
or truth or the Word, you can substitute those three
for it, the truth or the word. If you walk
in the light as He is in the Word or
the truth, we have fellowship one with another. If you
(28:35):
walk in agreement with your fellow person, you husband and wives.
You walk in agreement that God is the art and
the finense of your faith. You people that work together
on the same job. If you walk in agreement, then
it takes your job and my job put together.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
To make sure that the work is done.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Hello, somebody, If you walk in agreement with your neighbor,
you watch me, and you watch my back, and I
watch your back. You walk in agreement, the job gets done.
Hey man, you sisters and brothers. I know my mama
used to tell me this. Don't you let nobody separate
you from your brother, drive awage between you and him.
(29:20):
If you walk in agreement with your family members. Hallelujah,
y'all get where I'm coming from. Okay, So you as
he is in the light. We have fellowship one with another,
and the blood of Jesus Christ, his son cleanses us
from all sin. Now, how is this process possible? When
(29:42):
you walk in the truth when you walk in the world.
Because it's just like a computer, It reprograms you. You
don't have to do the first thing that comes to
your mind in relationship to something that's done to you
in a situation, because what you have an alternative react, right,
(30:02):
you have another way of doing things, because the one
that God introduces to you through Jesus Christ by the
Holy Spirit, that is the truth if you walk into
If you do, but if your response is in the
truth of God, then you have fellowship with God. That
(30:25):
makes sense.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
If you do the truth.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
Of God, then you walk in fellowship with God. You
walk in agreement with God. This is the cleansing power
of God. Hallelujah. This is all under the blood. God
gives you this time and space to be able to
(30:49):
do this, to learn how to do this in a
righteous manner.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
And it takes a life.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
Isaiah said, like the fast that I've chosen for you,
God told him. He said, not the fast, the day
of fast that you've chosen, that you can heap to yourself.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
Then you can.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Point the finger at each other.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
No things, he.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Said, But a day with the Lord, A day that
I've chosen you. A day with the Lord is a thousand,
like a thousand years. He's talking about life. If you
give me your life, I will teach you how to
undo your heavy burdens. I will teach you how to
lose your bands. This is what it says in fifty eight.
(31:38):
I will teach you how to lose your bands of wickedness.
I will teach you how to bring people under your
roof and feed them and clothe them. I will teach
you how to repairitive breaches in your family. I will
teach you how to talk with one another and be
kind and affectionate to one another. This is what he's saying.
(32:01):
If you give me your life that's covered under the blood,
I'll teach you how to be my sons and daughters.
Covert under the blood. Covert under the blood. Acceptance of
(32:26):
Jesus Christ as your lord and savior. A person must
accept Jesus Christ their lord and savior to believe in
his redemptive work. You got to do that. First. Faith
and repentance. Believers are to repent for their sins and
(32:48):
ask God to forgive for forgiveness, placing their faith in
the efficiency of Jesus' blood, the fact that he shed
the blood for you. And thirdly, walking in obedience under
the power of the Holy Ghost, not under your own power,
(33:10):
because you can't do it. You need to receive the
baptism of the Holy Ghost. You need to see receive
somebody greater than you to help you to walk because
saints or unbelievas, you're not gonna be able to do it.
Those covered by the blood can continue to walk in faith.
They continue to walk in faith, allowing the Holy Spirit
(33:34):
to work within them, as described in the Bible and
versus one John one one in seven walking in the light.
We're talking about being covered by the blood, the blood
of Jesus.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
This is what this phrase offers you.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
It offers you the time that you need to get
it straight.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
The Bible tells you to sanctify yourself.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
What is he saying? Put the word God told Joshua.
He said, don't let this word depart out of your mouth.
In other words, don't stop speaking it. Speak it speak
what I say. He said, meditating it day and night
that you will have good success. And I've said this before,
(34:32):
and I said again, how much time does it take
for us to study the word of God? If you
took thirty minutes in the morning, thirty minutes in the
evening out of twenty four hours, that leaves you what,
twenty three hours to do whatever God's giving you to do?
Speaker 2 (34:48):
Am I wrong or right?
Speaker 1 (34:50):
If you took fifteen minutes in the morning fifteen minutes
in the evening, that leaves you twenty three and a
half hours to do whatever you need to do. Is
that not enough time to do what you need to do?
He just said, keep it in your mind, in your
eyes day and night. I guarantee you this the way.
When you start doing that, you'll start growing in it.
(35:13):
You will start wanting to put you start wanting to
be in God's presidence more and more, because guess what,
some of y'all don't know this, but some of y'all
do but don't believe it. And his presence is fullness
of joy. I've been in the place, and I'm talking
about me personally. I've been in a place sometimes in
(35:36):
times that reading and him speaking to me by his
spirit has captivated me. You know, sometimes you can get
into a good movie and watch it and you don't
want nobody to disturb you, or you can watch your
guys watch a good football game or sports inventing you
(35:57):
don't want nobody disturb It's like that, you get in
his presence. He's talking to you and you reading and
talking to you and you listening and you and you
get those a high moments you say oh, and you
don't want to be bothered. It will increase and you
get joy out of that knowing what He deposits in you.
(36:19):
And you get joy out of understanding or seeing on
display his goodness and kindness through you. When you used
to get mad at something. Now, it don't bother you.
It has that power, It has that authority covered by
the blood. And get this, when you walk in that obedience,
(36:44):
the enemy cannot come in to disturb you. He cannot.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
I don't care what nobody said.
Speaker 1 (36:50):
He cannot.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
He cannot come into up under the blood.
Speaker 1 (36:56):
He cannot. What can happen if what he does is
he lures you to come out from under the blood
so he can torment you. He puts you in fear,
and fear has tormented. But under the blood of Jesus. Hallelujah, hallelujah,
(37:20):
there is no fear, power, love and a sound mind
God gives you.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
And a reverential respect for God.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
His ability to keep you through the precious blood of
Jesus Christ, his son who died for you. Hallelujah, covered
by the blood. Let's pray, Father, thank you for your gift,
(37:53):
your son who sheared this precious blood before the foundation
of the world. You had already come up with this plan,
and you have already had a lamb slain.
Speaker 2 (38:08):
Before the foundation.
Speaker 1 (38:12):
For your soul, lovely world, that you gave your only
begotten son, that whoever believes in him.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
Would not perish. But have ever lasted in life.
Speaker 1 (38:22):
And Lord, I for one, I thank you, and those
that are listening and that will hear this, thank you, Lord.
Speaker 2 (38:28):
For you for your love that you showed towards us.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
You just didn't say it, but you showed it in
a magnificent and a sacrificial way, one that the Bible said,
men who have scarcely died one for the other for another.
But Christ died for the ungodly, not godly, but for
the ungodly. And I think you and give you praise.
(38:56):
And Lord, we want to bless you, and we want
to exalt you in everything that we do and say
and think. Send thy son Jesus name. We pray, Amen
and amen. If you pray that prayer, hallelujah, and receive
it to yourself, glory to God, hallelujah. The blessing of
(39:16):
the Lord belonged to you. All you to do is
just ask God to help you now, those of you
who have not received Jesus Christ as Lord and savior,
who want the blood covert over your lives so your
living won't be in vain. Only one thing you can do.
Romans ten ninety ten says this, if you confess with
(39:39):
your mouth the Lord Jesus Christ, and believe in your
heart that God raising from the dead out shall be saved.
That's what it said. It's confess it if you want
this freedom, to allow God to through his spirit and
the blood his son, to teach you how to be
(40:01):
a son of God and be covered while you go
through life's journey with no fear of what man can
do to the body. Glory to God, but your reverential
respect for God and his authority and his ability to
keep you no matter what things look like. If you
(40:25):
want this, repeat after me, Father, forgive me for I
have sin. I've come short of your glory. I have
not received the blood of Jesus Christ for the atonement
or the forgiveness of my sins. I asked you to
(40:46):
come into my heart and be my Lord as well
as savior. I believe that Jesus is your son. I
believe that he died on the cross from my sin,
and I believe that in three days the Holy Spirit
raise them up from the dead, and that same spirit
will raise me up from dead works.
Speaker 2 (41:07):
As I walk in the light.
Speaker 1 (41:08):
Of the truth, being led of the spirit, my Father,
I asked you to give me of your Spirit, that
your spirit dwell in me richly for in thy Son,
Jesus lame, I do pray. If you agree with this
pray and you said this prayer, say Amen and Amen,
which means that you're acting in one with God by
(41:29):
receiving with this gift being given to you, and you
agree with God that it is covered. Y'ad not my
shat got that thing under the blood.
Speaker 2 (41:40):
Holler in lu Jah.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
We're getting ready to go into October. September seventh, these
days moving swiftly. I'm sharing this with you right now.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
If you've never been serious about God, or if you're
some things that you have been putting on the back
burner that you have not been doing, that you keep
telling God you're going to do, or you keep telling
yourself that you I'm going to do, I would say
the time is now to do it. I would say
the time and now the day that you hear his
(03:08):
voice heart, not your heart keep putting off that which
God tells you to do. Hallelujah. All right, you guys,
open up your bibles. We are going to talk about
First Sunday, We're going to talk about the blood. We're
(03:29):
going to talk about the blood. I mean, I'm sure
many of you have heard the statement. I have heard
the statement covered by the blood of Jesus. I know
you've heard the statement covered by the blood of Jesus.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Well, covered by the blood of Jesus. Remember that.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Turn with me quickly. I'm going through a few scriptures
one Peter Chapter one. First Peter Chapter one. I'm gonna
start at verse nineteen. Just read two verses. I want
(04:13):
to keep this the Lord bless me to keep it
simple and pure verse nineteen and twenty. But with the
precious blood of Christ. But with the precious blood of
Christ as of a lamb without blemish and without spot,
(04:38):
who rarely was for ordained before the foundation of the world,
but was manifested in these last times for you. In
other words, because of the blood of Jesus Christ, who
was ordained before the foundation the world to be a
(05:01):
sacrifice for our sins. He shared, his blood was shed
for our sins for you, to everyone who will receive
this gift, this precious gift that is given by God.
For God so loved the world that he gave his
(05:21):
only begotten son, that whosoever believe in him should not perish,
but have what everlasting life.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
John three sixteen. Listen to this.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Covered by the Blood. Covered by the Blood is a
Christian concept signifying that jesus sacrificial death and shed blood
have provided redemption, forgiveness and cleansing from sin.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
For believers. Everyone who believes it.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Means that through faith in Christ, what he did and
what he took tart. A believer's sins are forgiven, they
are no longer condemned, and they have access listen, and
(06:27):
they have access to God's grace, protection and fellowship. This
belief is rooted in the Old Testament concept of atonement
or another word for atonement, a full payment of a
(06:48):
debt old through the blood sacrifice that were done by animals,
but now making Jesus that perfect and only sacrifice we
will ever need. Before there were animals every year that
(07:10):
were brought to the altar, not preferably, but it was
ordered by them to have an animal, particular animals for
particular sin that were unblemished, first born, and in specificity
to God's direction for that sin and for that animal,
(07:31):
there were specifications given.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
To each of them.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
But Jesus is that perfect sacrifice, who knew no sin,
who died for our sins, the sins of the world,
that we might be forgiven to those who received his death,
burial and resurrection for his or her.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Atonement from sin.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
All right, now, aspects of being covered by the blood,
you need to know this kis when they use the
term covered by the blood or the covenant that was
sealed by the blood of Jesus Christ. Kia expects can
be found in Exodus chapter twelve. Write this down, Exodus
(08:19):
chapter twelve. Exodus chapter twelve. Write it down Chapter twelve,
starting at verse twelve. Listen, this is what God tells
Moses to tell the people. For I will pass through
(08:40):
the land of Egypt this night and will smite all
the first born in the land of Egypt, both man
and beast, and against all all the gods. Now, when
he said all the gods, he spoke These these gods
(09:00):
were beliefs, systems, customs, principles, and are things that people
put that trust or belief or state their lives on,
anything that they will put in a position of authority
over themselves. God came to destroy every one of them
(09:25):
of Egyptians. I will execute judgment. I am the lord
every one of the gods of the Egyptians. God, hallelujah.
He came against every last one of them verse thirteen.
And the blood shall be on you For a token.
(09:46):
He used the blood sacrifice. He told Israel to obey
everything that he said as a token. Now this where
token means a part, a part representing the whole, just
as a token upon the houses where you where ye are,
(10:08):
every house that they were resided.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
In, hallelujah.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
And when I see the blood, I will pass over you,
and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy
you when I smite the land of Egypt. So the
phrase covered by the blood also means your protection, hallelujah.
(10:35):
Verse fourteen. And this day shall ye be up, and
this day shall be unto you For a memorial, we
know what that means.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Something designed to preserve in your memory. Hallelujah.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
We should keep hallujah the communion. The Bible says, as
often as you do this this and remembrance of me, halloyuh,
you put this in your memory, and you shall keep
it a feast to the Lord throughout your generations.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Okay, and you.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Shall keep it a feast by an ordinance forever.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Listen.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
That's verse fourteen, verses one three eleven provides the details
the instruction Moses gave to the people on how God
wanted them to prepare themselves for his passover. This is
called the Lord's passover. Obedience. Listen, as it was then
(11:46):
and it still is now, obedience to every detail is
key to their protection. Same as with you guys, with us,
with me obedience to Jesus said this when he came
out of the wilderness. Man should not live back Bretter alone.
(12:07):
But by every word that proceeded out of the mouth
of God. Now what does the word every mean? All complete?
Not one John or Til of his world should diminuce
(12:29):
from our obedience.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Hello, somebody, we shall obey every word.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
We can't pick and choose what we want to obey
God here, because if you disobeying, won you disobeying all?
I apologize. God demands obedience. Hallelujh. He demands obedience. To
obey is better than sacrifice. Samuel told Saul in First
(13:00):
Samuel fifteen twenty two. If Adam had obeyed God, listen
to this, if God showed me this, If Adam had
obeyed God, that would be no need for a sacrifice.
But Adam did not obey God. He's sin. Therefore by sin,
(13:22):
that by by one man sin, this obedience sin came
into the world. Now through man, one man's obedience Jesus
to Christ, salvation has come. Deliverance from that we're talking
about covered by the blood. Hallelujah. Let's talk about redemption
(13:46):
from sin. What does that involve? What does that involve
when the blood of Jesus Christ was shed, the perfect
lamb of God that knew no sin, who took on
our sins. Listen to this. The Bible says he hung
(14:11):
from the cross, and as when he hung from the cross,
the Bible said that God turned his faith from you.
Jesus said, told ask God Father, why hast doubt forsaken me?
He turned his faith from his own son, because he
(14:32):
looked like ours. He took the sins of the world
upon himself, and he became the perfect blood sacrifice. Now
this is key, because he had not sin, sin or
the devil or the law had took him illegally. The
(14:55):
law was made for the lawless, and Jesus was not
one of those, but it mistook him for someone that
had sinned, and thereby giving him the freedom to die
for us to pay the price. Since he had died,
(15:18):
he gave that gift to us, that pardon to us.
Work will covered by the blood. It's under the blood.
So now you have the freedom to live according to
the will of God. Now there's going to be a
struggle in the flesh, because the corner mind is the
(15:43):
enemy of God. Neither indeed, on work can do the
will of God. So you have to be transforming your mind.
Why because the spirit of life that is in Christ
will make you free from the law of sin and death.
You have to be transforming your mind. Hallelujah. Look at it.
Look at this redemption from sin. The blood of Jesus
(16:06):
saves as a serves as a payment for the sins
of the world, offering freedom from spiritual captivity. And if
God will physical captivity as well too, but definitely spiritual captivity.
(16:27):
If God will from physical captivity, cose. Remember some of
the things that God will deliver. He wants you to
deliver your soul. He wants to deliver you so you
can be brought to heaven. But some things he will
allow to stay in nobody. Remember Paul. Paul had a
(16:47):
thorn in his side and God would not deliver him
from it. God said, my grace is sufficient. Some things
are needed for the purpose of God to exist. But
He will give you the stress to endure whatever affliction
that you're going through, or he may decide to deliver you.
But that's God's reasoning, and that's God's will for his purpose.
(17:12):
Because it's not You don't belong to yourself anymore. Remember
that when Jesus comes into your heart to be your
lord as well as savior. Listen to me to be
your lord, to be your master, be your master teacher.
You don't belong to yourself anymore. You belong to God.
Your body. Paul tells us to give our bodies to
(17:34):
God as living sacrifices. Okay, now listen. One of the
attributes of redemption is forgiveness of sins. Through the blood,
sins are forgiven, and a record of debt against believers
is canceled out.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Everything that you did in life.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
That was sin against God and to God against others's
canceled out. Whether or not other people forgive you or not,
God cancels it. Now God will start moving because he's
lord over your life now to do things to facilitate
(18:19):
that you are delivered from that that behavior, that mindset,
that way of talking, that way of doing things. Remember
your change, your You're being changed now into a new creation.
You're being changed and look more like the Father instead
(18:41):
of like Satan Uh, the one who uh Uh was
cast out of heaven. Cleansing and purity is another thing
that you get through this redemption of sin. Cleansing and purity.
Believers are pure from sin by walking. Listen to this
(19:03):
walking in the light of Christ, the truth, walking in
the truth according to the Word of God. And I'm
not talking about what we call truth. I'm talking about
the Word of God is truth. Remember Jesus told his
disciples you were not able to receive the spirit of
truth at one time, but through me you can receive it. Hallelujah.
(19:27):
Through the truth, and which is made possible by the blood.
This is made possible by the blood. This is made
possible by the blood beforehand Satan, who was the father
of lies. We lived in that concept. We lived in
that behavior. We would occasionally lie, even go to the
(19:49):
point that say things that we didn't even know about,
in order to lift ourselves up as though we knew things,
and though we were all that in the bag of chip.
And sometimes we talk about things that we had no
idea what we're talking about, just to look good in
front of people.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Hallelujah.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Atonement the shedding of blood. Blood is seen as the
ultimate atonement, the ultimate payment or payment for sin, providing
a permanent solution that was only temporary in the Old Testament.
The shedding of the blood of the animal is the
(20:30):
only temporary. They had to go every year and do
it over again. But when Jesus died, he died once
and for all all who would receive him. So the
Gospel of Jesus Christ has preached in all the world
for anyone that would receive it, so they can be saved.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Hallelujah.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Access to God, being covered by the blood grants access
to God through throne room, allowing for direct and ongoing
or continuous fellowship with the Father. The Bible tells us
(21:12):
one of the things that the Lord told me years
ago was men should always pray in that faith. And
I wondered, excuse me, in my mind, how was I
going to always pray? How was I going to always pray?
Literally always pray and knowing that sin separates from God.
(21:34):
And the Lord said, keep on living and what he
was talking about, keep on walking in the light of
the truth, keep on doing that which doing those things
which I say is right. Okay, you got to be
careful to listen to the voice of God. Like he
told Moses. One day he might tell him to hit
(21:54):
the rock, and the next day he might tell him
to speak to the rock. But you got to ovad
a voice. It's what God tells you that it's righteous. Hello, somebody,
So we are we are, we are two when we come,
we have access to God through our fellowship with God
(22:16):
on a continuous face. And he said, keep on living.
And as I'm under the power of the Holy Ghost,
was led into doing the best I could to do
what the Word said.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
I would find myself repenting along the way.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Lord, I wasn't able to do this, or I don't
feel like doing that, or I don't think like this,
or that's not the way I do things. But God said,
this is the way you need a door. So I
would go forth asking God to help me to be
a doer of the word and not just a hero.
Only am I making sense? I wanted to be a
(22:54):
door and not just a hero. So I had to
ask God to help me to do that that increase
my fellowship with God in faith and being in His
presence because I was always asking Him for help. Hello,
Lordly God always ask him and still do.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
There's there's not too.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Many times in my life right now that I think
I got it right. All the time, I'm always trying
to counsel God, this should I say this, or should
I do that, or should I think this? Or I
need to bring that thought and I don't need to
have that thought, or I don't need to do this
with my hands, or I need to rethink this. Always
(23:42):
in counsel with God. So where it's true, men should
always pray and not faith.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Holler uh.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Similar to the pastover. Similar to the past over is
another one similar to the Passover, when blood on the
doorpost was sprinkled or put on the doorpost that it
protected the Israelites. When God, when the spirit of death
(24:16):
went over them and seen the blood on the doorpost,
and it went over them, did not go into the
house and killed the firstborn. Believers are thought to be
divinely protected. I'm gonna change that thought. I know I'm
divinely protected under the blood of Jesus. I'm a witness
(24:42):
of his divine protection. Really all in all things that
God has done from me from that time forward to
this time right now, I'm a witness of this, the
covering of the blood, because of God's covenant towards me.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
What God said he would do to do for those who.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Are His Hello, somebody, Justification is what I'm gonna speak
about the last one. I'm gonna speak about it. This
process makes believers right with God. We're justified because you believe.
(25:24):
And when you believe, you do what you believe. Right.
If you believe a cheer is going to support you,
you sit in it.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Hello.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
If you believe that driving a car, uh, getting up
under stead where it's gonna take you to the store,
you get in the car started up. Hello. So, if
you believe that God is God and he can you
operate in the will of God. Believers right with the
(25:56):
process of making believers right with God. As he sees
his son and them rather than their sin, why why
does he see the son? Because you you, you mimic
the son. You are a doer of the words. You're
the doer of what he said. Jesus told his disciples this.
(26:20):
They were questioning about God, and he said, if you've
seen me, you've seen the Father. And one of the
things that he said was that I only say those
things that.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
My father tells me Holy Ghost.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Likewise, I only said Holy only said those things that
Jesus said, right. Jesus also said, I only do those
things that my father tells me to do. Why so
he can look his image is like the Father. We're
not talking about a physical image characteristics like that. I'm
(27:04):
talking about attributes, character purpose in life. What is your
heart about? What are you about? In essence? Are you
about yourself? Or you about all those that are around you?
LifeWise experiencing the depth and the love of the Father
(27:26):
as well forgetting about yourself and allowing the Holy Spirit
to lead you and guide you into truth.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Hallelujah.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
We talked about the covering of the blood, these attributes
that God, that God has prepared for us. How it
works is like this, John, write this down, John, First John,
excuse me, Chapter one, verse seven. First John, Chapter one,
(27:58):
verse seven.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Look at it.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
It says this, But if we walk in the light,
or truth or the Word, you can substitute those three
for it, the truth or the word. If you walk
in the light as He is in the Word or
the truth, we have fellowship one with another. If you
(28:35):
walk in agreement with your fellow person, you husband and wives.
You walk in agreement that God is the art and
the finense of your faith. You people that work together
on the same job. If you walk in agreement, then
it takes your job and my job put together.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
To make sure that the work is done.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Hello, somebody, If you walk in agreement with your neighbor,
you watch me, and you watch my back, and I
watch your back. You walk in agreement, the job gets done.
Hey man, you sisters and brothers. I know my mama
used to tell me this. Don't you let nobody separate
you from your brother, drive awage between you and him.
(29:20):
If you walk in agreement with your family members. Hallelujah,
y'all get where I'm coming from. Okay, So you as
he is in the light. We have fellowship one with another,
and the blood of Jesus Christ, his son cleanses us
from all sin. Now, how is this process possible? When
(29:42):
you walk in the truth when you walk in the world.
Because it's just like a computer, It reprograms you. You
don't have to do the first thing that comes to
your mind in relationship to something that's done to you
in a situation, because what you have an alternative react, right,
(30:02):
you have another way of doing things, because the one
that God introduces to you through Jesus Christ by the
Holy Spirit, that is the truth if you walk into
If you do, but if your response is in the
truth of God, then you have fellowship with God. That
(30:25):
makes sense.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
If you do the truth.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
Of God, then you walk in fellowship with God. You
walk in agreement with God. This is the cleansing power
of God. Hallelujah. This is all under the blood. God
gives you this time and space to be able to
(30:49):
do this, to learn how to do this in a
righteous manner.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
And it takes a life.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
Isaiah said, like the fast that I've chosen for you,
God told him. He said, not the fast, the day
of fast that you've chosen, that you can heap to yourself.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
Then you can.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Point the finger at each other.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
No things, he.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Said, But a day with the Lord, A day that
I've chosen you. A day with the Lord is a thousand,
like a thousand years. He's talking about life. If you
give me your life, I will teach you how to
undo your heavy burdens. I will teach you how to
lose your bands. This is what it says in fifty eight.
(31:38):
I will teach you how to lose your bands of wickedness.
I will teach you how to bring people under your
roof and feed them and clothe them. I will teach
you how to repairitive breaches in your family. I will
teach you how to talk with one another and be
kind and affectionate to one another. This is what he's saying.
(32:01):
If you give me your life that's covered under the blood,
I'll teach you how to be my sons and daughters.
Covert under the blood. Covert under the blood. Acceptance of
(32:26):
Jesus Christ as your lord and savior. A person must
accept Jesus Christ their lord and savior to believe in
his redemptive work. You got to do that. First. Faith
and repentance. Believers are to repent for their sins and
(32:48):
ask God to forgive for forgiveness, placing their faith in
the efficiency of Jesus' blood, the fact that he shed
the blood for you. And thirdly, walking in obedience under
the power of the Holy Ghost, not under your own power,
(33:10):
because you can't do it. You need to receive the
baptism of the Holy Ghost. You need to see receive
somebody greater than you to help you to walk because
saints or unbelievas, you're not gonna be able to do it.
Those covered by the blood can continue to walk in faith.
They continue to walk in faith, allowing the Holy Spirit
(33:34):
to work within them, as described in the Bible and
versus one John one one in seven walking in the light.
We're talking about being covered by the blood, the blood
of Jesus.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
This is what this phrase offers you.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
It offers you the time that you need to get
it straight.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
The Bible tells you to sanctify yourself.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
What is he saying? Put the word God told Joshua.
He said, don't let this word depart out of your mouth.
In other words, don't stop speaking it. Speak it speak
what I say. He said, meditating it day and night
that you will have good success. And I've said this before,
(34:32):
and I said again, how much time does it take
for us to study the word of God? If you
took thirty minutes in the morning, thirty minutes in the
evening out of twenty four hours, that leaves you what,
twenty three hours to do whatever God's giving you to do?
Speaker 2 (34:48):
Am I wrong or right?
Speaker 1 (34:50):
If you took fifteen minutes in the morning fifteen minutes
in the evening, that leaves you twenty three and a
half hours to do whatever you need to do. Is
that not enough time to do what you need to do?
He just said, keep it in your mind, in your
eyes day and night. I guarantee you this the way.
When you start doing that, you'll start growing in it.
(35:13):
You will start wanting to put you start wanting to
be in God's presidence more and more, because guess what,
some of y'all don't know this, but some of y'all
do but don't believe it. And his presence is fullness
of joy. I've been in the place, and I'm talking
about me personally. I've been in a place sometimes in
(35:36):
times that reading and him speaking to me by his
spirit has captivated me. You know, sometimes you can get
into a good movie and watch it and you don't
want nobody to disturb you, or you can watch your
guys watch a good football game or sports inventing you
(35:57):
don't want nobody disturb It's like that, you get in
his presence. He's talking to you and you reading and
talking to you and you listening and you and you
get those a high moments you say oh, and you
don't want to be bothered. It will increase and you
get joy out of that knowing what He deposits in you.
(36:19):
And you get joy out of understanding or seeing on
display his goodness and kindness through you. When you used
to get mad at something. Now, it don't bother you.
It has that power, It has that authority covered by
the blood. And get this, when you walk in that obedience,
(36:44):
the enemy cannot come in to disturb you. He cannot.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
I don't care what nobody said.
Speaker 1 (36:50):
He cannot.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
He cannot come into up under the blood.
Speaker 1 (36:56):
He cannot. What can happen if what he does is
he lures you to come out from under the blood
so he can torment you. He puts you in fear,
and fear has tormented. But under the blood of Jesus. Hallelujah, hallelujah,
(37:20):
there is no fear, power, love and a sound mind
God gives you.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
And a reverential respect for God.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
His ability to keep you through the precious blood of
Jesus Christ, his son who died for you. Hallelujah, covered
by the blood. Let's pray, Father, thank you for your gift,
(37:53):
your son who sheared this precious blood before the foundation
of the world. You had already come up with this plan,
and you have already had a lamb slain.
Speaker 2 (38:08):
Before the foundation.
Speaker 1 (38:12):
For your soul, lovely world, that you gave your only
begotten son, that whoever believes in him.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
Would not perish. But have ever lasted in life.
Speaker 1 (38:22):
And Lord, I for one, I thank you, and those
that are listening and that will hear this, thank you, Lord.
Speaker 2 (38:28):
For you for your love that you showed towards us.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
You just didn't say it, but you showed it in
a magnificent and a sacrificial way, one that the Bible said,
men who have scarcely died one for the other for another.
But Christ died for the ungodly, not godly, but for
the ungodly. And I think you and give you praise.
(38:56):
And Lord, we want to bless you, and we want
to exalt you in everything that we do and say
and think. Send thy son Jesus name. We pray, Amen
and amen. If you pray that prayer, hallelujah, and receive
it to yourself, glory to God, hallelujah. The blessing of
(39:16):
the Lord belonged to you. All you to do is
just ask God to help you now, those of you
who have not received Jesus Christ as Lord and savior,
who want the blood covert over your lives so your
living won't be in vain. Only one thing you can do.
Romans ten ninety ten says this, if you confess with
(39:39):
your mouth the Lord Jesus Christ, and believe in your
heart that God raising from the dead out shall be saved.
That's what it said. It's confess it if you want
this freedom, to allow God to through his spirit and
the blood his son, to teach you how to be
(40:01):
a son of God and be covered while you go
through life's journey with no fear of what man can
do to the body. Glory to God, but your reverential
respect for God and his authority and his ability to
keep you no matter what things look like. If you
(40:25):
want this, repeat after me, Father, forgive me for I
have sin. I've come short of your glory. I have
not received the blood of Jesus Christ for the atonement
or the forgiveness of my sins. I asked you to
(40:46):
come into my heart and be my Lord as well
as savior. I believe that Jesus is your son. I
believe that he died on the cross from my sin,
and I believe that in three days the Holy Spirit
raise them up from the dead, and that same spirit
will raise me up from dead works.
Speaker 2 (41:07):
As I walk in the light.
Speaker 1 (41:08):
Of the truth, being led of the spirit, my Father,
I asked you to give me of your Spirit, that
your spirit dwell in me richly for in thy Son,
Jesus lame, I do pray. If you agree with this
pray and you said this prayer, say Amen and Amen,
which means that you're acting in one with God by
(41:29):
receiving with this gift being given to you, and you
agree with God that it is covered. Y'ad not my
shat got that thing under the blood.
Speaker 2 (41:40):
Holler in lu Jah.
