#184 I Plead The Blood
By: Pastor Karl Thomas
Colossians 1:20-22
“…having made peace through the blood of His cross. And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight…”
“The Holy Spirit never brings condemnation He always reveals the blood.” Smith Wigglesworth
“ Jesus was cursed on the tree in our place and bore our sin in His own body. He did not bear our sin in His blood. It was just as holy on the cross as it ever was. As He offered the sin sacrifice to God, He was covered with pure, innocent, justifying, redeeming, sanctifying blood so that He was able to dismiss His spirit to His Father at death.” David Alsobrook
“The blood and the Spirit always bear testimony together. Where the blood is honored in faith or preaching, there the Spirit works; … He always leads souls to the blood. The Holy Spirit could not be given until the blood was shed. The living bond between the Spirit and the blood cannot be broken.” Andrew Murray
True redemption is found exclusively through the blood of Jesus.
A working revelation of the blood of Jesus will give you ongoing access to the glory of God.
Where the blood of Jesus flows the Holy Spirit goes.
“Scripture teaches … that life lies in the blood. Blood, therefore , is the mysterious link between matter and spirit. …certain it is that this is the mysterious link which unite these apparently dissimilar things together, so that the soul can inhabit the body, and the life can rest in the blood” C.H. Spurgeon
Jesus is the lamb slain from before the foundation of the world. Redemption through His Blood was always His eternal plan!
Revelation 13:8 “…the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.”
John 1:29 “The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!”
4 Truths Regarding The Blood
1. It Has To Be Blood Why?
Life is in the blood.
Lev. 17:11 “For the life of the flesh is in the blood, the blood that makes atonement for the soul.’”
No blood No forgiveness
Hebrews. 9:22 “… without shedding of blood there is no remission.”
2. It Had To Be Jesus Blood Why?
Precious Blood
1 Peter 1:18-19 “…but with the precious blood of Christ, …without blemish and without spot.”
Blood of God
Acts 20:28 “…church of God which He purchased with His own blood.”
3. Jesus’ Blood Had To Be Shed
His Body Was Pierced In 7 Places
A. Sweat Drops Of Blood
Jesus fulfilled all righteousness on my behalf. He was fully obedient to the will of the Father.
I have fulfilled all righteousness. I plead the blood!!!
B. Stripes He Received 39 Lashes
Isaiah 53:4 “And by His stripes we are healed.”
Unexpected Genetic Roots
“When we ranked mutations using our method, striking patterns emerged, revealing 39 novel genes having a potential role…” Brenden Frey (UofT News Dec. 14 2014)
The Gene Myth: Our DNA is NOT Our Destiny (Dr. Caroline Leaf)
“…it’s principally our thoughts that influence those genes which are active … So, when all is said and done, we are very much in control, and not victims of our biology.”

C. Beaten and Bruised
Inner bleeding. Hidden wounds. Unresolved issues from your past. Words that torment. Past failures.
D. Crown Of Thorns
Galatians 3:13-14
“…having become a curse for us …that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.”
No more carrots and sticks. No more ifs and buts!!!
E. Spikes In His Hands
Priests — Hand are for blessing … restore our authority to BLESS – Gate of heaven
F. Spike In His Feet
Kings — Restored Dominion … Every place my foot treads brings Kingdom!
Revelation 1:5-6
“To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood, and has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.”
The blood positions you in His Glory, under an open heaven, you are InChristed forever.
YOU REIGN AND RULE!!!
G. Sword In His Side
His heart was broken so mine can be restored … betrayal wounds to heart.
Psalm 69:20 “Reproach has broken my heart, And I am full of heaviness.”
Luke 4:18 “He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,…”
4. The Blood Must Be Applied
Two Ways Blood Applied In O.T.:
1. Diffuse Hyssop – It gets everywhere. Hebrews 9:19 “… of hyssop, and sprinkled the scroll and all …”
2. Directional Finger – It would be very specific Leviticus 16:14 “…with his finger sprinkle it …”
Luke 11:20 “But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you.”
Matthew 12:28 “But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.”
You have a legal right to the throne room by the blood. Holy Spirit has a legal right to invade you by the blood.
The Blood speaks … It is voice activated …
How do you apply the blood? Word of your Testimony!!! I plead the blood!!!
Isaiah 43:25-26 KJV
“I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.
Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified.”

I believe we can never fully appreciate The Blood! Thank you for this teaching. The Blood from the hands and The Blood from the feet has brought new revelation to me as a priest and king in the kingdom of God. That blood was shed as a tool for us to invade and overwhelm the kingdom of darkness! I can see it more clearly than ever!
Thank you Lord for your obedience to the cross! We are so blessed and advantaged!
