Too many Christians today walk around buffeted by uncontrollable impulses, drowning in guilt and totally defeated. They pray, commit, surrender, read the Word, say all the right words, and still can't seem to live a victorious life. If that sounds familiar, then you might find some answers here.

The Blood of Jesus, Part 2

Apply the Blood to the "House"

Exo 12:7 And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it.

Exo 12:13 And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: 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.

Exo 12:23 For the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the LORD will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you. (It's also the Blood which we use to protect our "house" from demons)

When I was a kid, we used to sing an old hymn in church, "When I See the Blood". Then I never really understood the significance of the blood. But now I realize how important and vital is the Blood of Jesus in protecting us from not only God's judgement, but from attacks of the enemy.

Look at verse 23, when He, the Lord sees the blood on the house, then He will pass over the door and not ALLOW the destroyer...so according to this the Lord was escorting the Destroyer thru the land of Egypt. If the Lord saw the blood on the top and sides of the door, then He would not ALLOW the devil ("Satan comes but to steal, kill and destroy") to enter and kill.

Use the blood, apply it to your life. We have got to realize that the Blood of Jesus is our defense against the Enemy and it will protect our house against demonic attack.
