THE BLOOD OF JESUS PROTECTS
For 400 years, the children of Israel were slaves in Egypt. Life for
them was one of hard labor, pain, loss and even death. When Moses their
deliverer came, what soon followed was one plague after another on the
Egyptians. But none of the plagues caused Pharaoh to release the
Israelites until they put the blood on their doorposts. What nine
plagues could not do, the blood did! The Israelites were finally set
free because of the blood.
Are you under any kind of bondage? Are your loved ones held captive by
the destroyer who is bent on destroying them? Plead the blood of the
Lamb of God over all that is yours and your family’s. When nothing else
seems to work, His blood always works!
When I was a teenager doing a stint as a relief teacher in a primary
school, one of the girls in my class was absent from school one day. I
didn’t think too much about her absence until I returned home that
afternoon. As I was praying, I was prompted by the Holy Spirit to pray
for her protection and to cover her with the precious blood of Jesus.
It was revealed later on that she had been abducted by a notorious
serial killer who had murdered a number of young children. My pupil
recounted how she had been tied up and offered to the “deities” the
killer had in his flat. Miraculously, he released her when the evil
spirits found her to be an unsuitable offering.
Why was this pupil released unharmed? I believe that she was presented
to the deities on the same afternoon that I pleaded the blood of Jesus
over her. Of course, the evil spirits did not want her because the Most
High God would not allow them to have her. God was protecting her. She
was set free because of the blood of Jesus!
You see, when you plead the blood of Jesus, the destroyer cannot come
near. When he sees the blood, he must respect the blood. He cannot touch
what is covered by the blood. The blood of Jesus truly protects and
sets you free!
