Why do we plead the blood of Jesus? The bible tells us there is power in the Blood! This power consists of freedom, deliverance, healing and protection in the blood. It isn’t just for the forgiveness of sins. Jesus' blood makes us free in every way and by his lashings and bloodshed we are healed (Isaiah 53:5)
When you understand the mystery of the blood of Jesus, you will also understand the many purposes of the blood of Jesus.
The realm of the spirit is a legalistic realm and in the realm of the spirit, blood is currency used to do spiritual transactions. John 4:24 tells us that God is a spirit. In order to interact with a spirit and receive any form of assistance from a spirit, there must be payment and in the realm of the spirit, blood is currency. When Adam and Eve sinned, God had to kill an animal and cover their nakedness with the animal skin. Why? Blood had to be shed for God to be able to look at them. Hebrews 9:22 tells us that almost all things BY LAW are purged with blood and without the shedding of blood, there is no remission of sins.
If you notice in the old testament the Israelites always had to do blood sacrifices for the atonement of their sins.
Every year, each family had to take a one year old spotless lamb to the temple to sacrifice for the atonement of their sins. The High Priest would kill the lamb and take its blood into the holy of Holies which had the ark of the covenant that had Aaron's rod, manna, mercy seat and the 10 commandments. When God looked down to judge the people he would see the 10 commandments and because none of them could keep all the commandments, they were guilty of death. (Romans 6:23- for the wages of sin is death)
When the high priest poured the blood of the one year old spotless lamb on mercy's seat, instead of the 10 commandments, God would see the blood of the spotless lamb on mercy's seat crying out for mercy for the people and if the sacrifice was accepted by God, instead of judgement, He would release mercy and the sins of the people would be atoned for, for one year. The bible tells us that when this happened the shekinah glory of the Lord would shine down throughout the whole temple and this is how the people would know their sins were forgiven and they would all bow down and worship the Lord.
If you want to know the value of something, you can always check the cost. Christ's blood was and is still the most powerful blood. It was used to pay the price for the sins of the entire world. In fact, His blood is so precious and valuable, it overpaid for the price of sin for the entire world.
If you owe someone $100 and you are unable to pay them and they are threatening to take you to court and someone else steps in and gives that person $1000 to settle your $100 debt and forget about the whole thing, your debt is paid. Even though it was not paid by you, the overpaying of your debt will not only satisfy the person's anger to whom you owed it, but it would also make them very happy. I use this example to demonstrate that this is the same way Christ's blood was overpayment for our sins.
Earlier when I mentioned the blood of the one year old lamb that the high priest would have to take to the tabernacle for the atonement of the sins of the people in the old testament, it was a foreshadow of Christ's sacrifice to come in the New Testament. The one year old lamb in the old testament was equal to the 1 year of atonement for sins. The lamb had to be one year old because it was believed that if the lamb was older than that, then it wouldn't be pure. If you notice in scripture while Christ walked the earth, He never sinned. His purity was a requirement to qualify to be the sacrificial SPOTLESS LAMB to atone for the sins of all the world.
When Christ was crucified, all of His blood was drained out of His body. This is why after they had nailed him to the cross, put the crown of thorns on His head, they used the sword and pierced His side and blood and water poured out. All His blood poured out when He was crucified on the cross.
In the realm of the spirit, all that blood was collected for Him to later take back to heaven when He raised from the dead. After He resurrected, and He had appeared to Mary and she tried to touch Him, He told her not to because He wasn't yet ascended to His father. Why? Because He needed to take His blood to the holy of holies in heaven as our High Priest and as the Holy Lamb of God, similarly to what the high priest would do in the temple for the atonement of sins for the saints of old.
He took His most holy blood as both SPOTLESS LAMB OF GOD AND OUR HIGH PRIEST and poured it on mercy's seat in heaven which is the an altar in heaven which is actually at God's throne. That blood now secures our eternal salvation.
This is why there is no other way to the Father but through Christ, because when we are in Christ, God sees us through the blood and anything seen through the blood of Christ is seen as holy because that blood is holy.
So essentially the blood not only redeems us, but it also covers us. And because it overpaid the price for our sins, it's also a weapon that we can use against the kingdom of darkness.
In the satanic ways, witches and warlocks always have to do blood sacrifices of different size animals and sometimes even human beings to engage demonic spirits to assist them in their evil deeds. There are different values placed on different living things. For example, the blood of a cow which is a larger animal would be more valuable in in the satanic than the blood of a chicken.
Christ's blood is most powerful. Every curse or witchcraft attack is powered by a demonic altar that uses some form of animal or human blood to give life to the curse. Leviticus 17:11 says the life of the flesh is in the blood. The satanic uses the life in the blood of animals and humans to give life to their curses.
Because Jesus's blood is most powerful, every time we plead the blood of Jesus with the correct understanding and in the right posture (pure heart and clean hands) it breaks every demonic curse and destroys demonic altars because the life of Christ that is in His blood is eternal and most powerful and that's why we plead the blood.
Read Hebrews 9 for verification of this.
We also need to be mindful that people can send blessings and curses that could be attached to money, cars, and personal belongings. If a person pleads the blood over those things, they are making a plea for Holy protection. Some may also desire to do harm and therefore have spoken a curse instead of a blessing so for this reason it's essential to plead the blood of Jesus over those things as well.
