Selah List for July 22 2010 - The Blood Catalyst
July 21st, 2010
SELAH LIST
I am continually in awe of the significance and merits of the blood of Jesus. The victory of His cross, and the redemption that has been extended to us, is overwhelming. I find myself continually thanking God for sending His Son, and for the blood sacrifice which bought our salvation, and in fact continually causes us to be overcomers.
Exodus 12, explains the catalyst which brought the Israelites out of Egypt, the land of their bondage. Every family was instructed to obtain an unblemished lamb, a lamb for a household, kill it, and eat it in haste. They were to be ready for the journey, shoes on their feet, staff in their hands. The most important instruction was that they were to take the blood of that unblemished lamb, and apply the blood to their door. Actually it was a very specific instruction, it wasn’t just to be dabbed on haphazardly, but it was to be applied to the door posts, and the lintel, above the door space. This is very interesting, because by applying the blood this way, they were left with the Hebrew alphabet letter “chet”, the eighth letter of the alphabet, which means “LIFE” When the angel of death came, that blood mark of “LIFE” showed that this household was safe, and the angel was to “Passover”.
I believe we are being asked the question this week in particular, have we applied His blood to our doorposts. Our heart is a doorpost. We have a choice to make. We either apply the blood which allows His life to flow into us and through us, or we allow death, which allows the enemy to traffic in areas that have not been fully submitted. Do we apply His blood over our family, our marriages, our children, those we love, and care for? If we do this we can ensure that the destroyer is not allowed to come in and dictate his death ways to us. If you are under an attack, or facing difficult circumstances, turn to the life giving blood of the unblemished Lamb, Jesus Christ the worthy One.
The Spirit is saying to the church today, that there is much overcoming to do. The accuser of the brethren must be cast down, by each one of us individually. I love the verse in the book of revelation which says “And they have overcome him by means of the blood of the Lamb, and by the utterance of their testimony”. Testify to your circumstances, use your mouth to speak Truth, and apply His blood to your “heartposts”. You will be utterly amazed as to what will happen. YOU WILL OVERCOME!
Think on these things
Blessings on you and your household
