Nothing But The Blood


Lets start with a small story.This story will provide a blue print about my writing today.
Lets say I want to sell a car which I think is worth is 7000$ and offers are made ranging 2000$ to 9000$
*How much is the car worth?
*The 7000$ that I think its worth ?
*The "Low Ball " offer of 2000$ ?
*No..Not at All..

The car is worth what the highest bidder is willing to pay in the open market.Same way People are traded in the eternal and spiritual market.We are not worth what we happen to think or any "Low Ball" Offer.We are worth what the highest bidder will pay.

The highest bidder is GOD Himself.The Price Tag is the CROSS

God looked out across the eternal ages and said "I will take that one even though its worthless and cheap "Our worth is established once and for all and can never change or diminish.God has made the ultimate offer and paid the highest price through the royal priceless blood which was shed on the cross.

1 Peter1:18-21 NKJV
18 knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers,
19 but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. 
20 He indeed was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you 
21 who through Him believe in God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God

1 John 1:7 NKJV
7 But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. 

The blood is the core of our gospel message.Without the blood we have no salvation and no power over the devil. For we must realize that we have been ransomed from the futile way of living passed on to us by your traditions, but not by any money payment of this passing world. No, the price was, in fact, the life blood of Christ, the unblemished and unstained lamb of sacrifice.

Man's blood was corrupted, polluted. Life is in the blood. Sinless blood had to be shed for guilty blood. Jesus shed every drop of His blood to make our filthy lives pure.

What is the secret of the blood of Jesus? Why does it have so much power? Medical science tells us that the baby gets its blood from the father. If there's any question about the paternity of a child a blood test can be given and it be proved that one man is the father. The proof is in the blood.

Who is the father of Jesus? If Joseph was the father ,Jesus's blood wouldn't have had the power to cleanse anyone of their sin.Joseph wasn't the father ,Jesus had a heavenly father. How can it be ?
Mary was in flesh ,Father was in spirit.Simple.God and man became one in the womb of a virgin.The blood of Jesus was special.This was the secret with the blood of Jesus. Man's blood was hopelessly polluted so innocent blood had to be shed for guilty blood.

An atheist said the blood of Jesus must not have power because the blood is 2000 years old and the world is worse now than it was then. 
A Christian replied what about soap? There is soap in the world and it has the power to make the body clean but many are still dirty. 
Let me explain to you how soap works. I can hold the soap in my hand and I will not be automatically clean. You can stand beside the soap, study it, even get a job in a soap factory but until you reach out and take the soap and bathe yourself in it you will still be dirty. So it is with the blood of Jesus.
It's not enough to know and sing and hear about it. You must reach out and take it and be washed in it. The blood must be applied by faith. If you do, you will join with hundreds of millions in singing there is power wonder working power in the blood of the lamb.

We blood of Jesus sanctifies and cleanses us from all our iniquities.We have been ransomed by the  blood of Jesus.Just as the blood had to be sprinkled on the doorposts during the Passover,We need to apply the blood of Jesus.The blood of Jesus is already shed for us all we need to do is to properly claim our blessings through applying it in various areas of our lives.
We are applying the blood of Jesus when we say :the blood of Jesus was shed on the cross for me".

We need to apply the blood on our bodies to receive healing as we are healed by the blood of the Lamb.Our families are protected when we are covered under the blood of Christ.Satan has no authority over anything marked and sealed under the blood of Jesus Christ.We need to claim back the lost blessings in our life through His promises and through the blood of Christ.

Only through Jesus Christ's shed blood on the cross we can live a guilt free, shameless,fearless,flawless, delivered,uplifted,strong ,victorious life in Christ.

It only by the precious blood of our Savior Jesus Christ.

You are Beautiful,Strong and Blessed In Christ. 


Protected on the Perilous Nile


I know its a long time since I wrote my last blog. So I made up my mind to pen down my thoughts -today whatever comes my way.

Kids are all at school, busy with the new academic year. They must be striving hard to fulfill their dreams.Older kids would have joined new colleges ,found new friends, settled down with life at dorms. This is just a little list ,but there is much more we really don't know.

As kids have their own duties to do at school or college, parents have their regular fears and worries concerning the child's future ,safety and lot more. I believe every normal parent would at least think about their child once when they are away from them. As a parent I know that we have our own trepidation with respect to our kids.

I was going through Exodus chapter 2, God helped me understand that He is one who protects and preserves us amidst of all the dangers and traps in this world.
We read about baby Moses afloat on the death dealing river Nile.Nile. Jochebed,mother of Moses put Moses into a papyrus basket coated with pitch and tar to prevent the wood from rotting due to water corrosion. How much a mother's heart must have been heavy while casting away her  baby son on the river Nile.

I was trying to find out from the google about the river Nile.The information I got from the web was spine-chilling.
The Nile river has treacherous rapids and large rocks which makes traveling dangerous.The oppressive heat can lead to dehydration and fatigue.It is the habitat for the world's deadliest alligators,crocodiles and snakes.

The tiniest mosquitoes  found on the river can cause fatal diseases  like malaria and skin sores.It is the house of varieties of sand flies which are carriers of various parasites .No one could return alive after an expedition on the Nile.
Isn't it terrorizing ?? I was totally petrified after reading about the Nile.

Still The God of Abraham,Isaac and Jacob was gracious indeed to protect and preserve the little baby Moses from any kind of danger on the devouring river Nile.

Psalms 46:1 says God is our refuge and strength,A very present help in trouble

He is our shield and shelter in the time of storm.The God who protected Moses amidst every dangers encompassing Him on the Nile,Is the very same God who will safeguard our children wherever they are .Though they walk through the valley of the shadow of death,His Grace will cover and guard them. Our children are marked and covered by the blood of the lamb. No evil shall befall them.
May the peace of God which surpasses all understanding guard our minds and hearts through Jesus Christ 

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress;.
My God, in Him I will trust.”;.
Psalms 91:1-2
