WHAT IT’S LIKE TO HAVE
CHRIST’S LIFE IN YOUR BLOOD
I popped the top and took
a sip of an energy drink called Red Bull. I was thinking I could use some Holy
Spirit Red Bull right about now too, to re-energize, inspire and take my faith
higher. So what kind of Red Bull would it be? The miraculous and amazing personal super charge to you and
me, of Christ’s Red Blood sacrifice on the cross is THE most powerful
energizer! Check it out: Colossians
1:27 tells us that when a person gets born again, they have “the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you.” The spirit of Christ Jesus lives in our very souls and
bodies now. 2 Corinthians 5:17 tells us:
“If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” If we really believe what the Bible says about this,
we can tap into a huge advantage in life, a power-punch of Spirit power we’ve
received as a gift from God Almighty, the Creator of all things.
It’s the power punch
that gives us new abilities and makes us different and better than the person
we used to be. We have the power to be gentle
and kind, to be stronger and healthier, to step out in love with confidence, to
perceive what others don’t, to get personal answers from God daily to make
brave and right decisions, to excel in life.
Take a short journey with
me now through the seven bleedings of our Lord Jesus Christ and see what
amazing things He’s given us through injecting His blood into our born again
lives. The Bible says that the “life is in the blood.” So in each area of His
bleeding we have new ability in that area.
The first bleeding for us
was in the garden of Gethsemane when He prayed: “Nevertheless not my will, but
thine, be done. And his sweat was as it were great drops of blood” (Luke
22:41). Jesus was willing to do God’s will rather than His own. One drop of
this sweaty blood gives us the power we need to do God’s will rather than our
own. We CAN do God’s will; We have the ability.”
Jesus next was “scourged”
by the Roman soldiers. They thrashed Him 39 times with a whip made of several
leather pieces, each loaded with jagged metal or bone pieces that tore and
ripped open strips of flesh on His back. The physical tearing of the flesh from
His body would also leave gashes and wounds susceptible to disease. Since His
blood was perfect, He would have no lasting repercussions from any gashes,
pain, or any other physical maladies. His blood covers all bodily things:
sickness, weakness, disease, pain, broken, torn or missing parts. 1 Peter 2:24
reminds us that they could not contaminate Jesus’ blood in any way and it is, “by
whose stripes ye were healed.” The Bible tells us we have access to total
healing through the blood of Jesus.
This is supernatural
stuff. The Bible calls it “born” again, when we accept Jesus as Lord and
believe God raised Him from the dead. No pain, injury, mental disorder,
malignant growth, weakness, disability or any bodily abnormality is attached to
the new birth we get. None of that could attach itself to Jesus and when we got
“born again,” the same capacity to thwart evil in body or soul is what we have.
It’s “born” into us at that moment. The Spirit of God in us can miraculously, supernaturally
change everything, if we only believe that what the Bible says is truly the
Word and Will of the ONLY GOD.
Medicine, exercise, food
and other things given by God in the first place, can help, but ultimately, it’s
the LIFE of Christ Jesus, in Spirit energy, in your “born again body” that has
a miraculous and wonderful effect on every particle and cell if we only believe
what the Bible says. God keeps His Word.
The third place Jesus shed
blood was from internal bruises. Isaiah 53:5 tells us: “He was bruised for our
iniquities.” Jesus was mocked and beaten. There was distress and swelling
caused by broken capillaries and dislodged blood beneath the surface of the
skin. When we believe the significance of this kind of bleeding, it’s able to
take away any humiliation and deep emotional bruises we’ve carried—the wounds
that we don’t want anyone to see, even wounds we suspect, but maybe don’t even fully
recognize ourselves, until they’ve been taken away.
The fourth bleeding was
from the crown of thorns jammed into His skull. So much of what goes on in our
lives is directly related to what happens in our brains. Jesus’ blood, applied
to our brains and we can more easily think right thoughts, and make wise
decisions like He always did.
Next they nailed Jesus’
hands and feet to the cross. The blood from his hands, spiritually into our
hands, gives us unique power in our hands. Think about what we do with hands—we
touch, write, make things, give things, stop things, clap, lift, and much more.
Believing to let the blood from Jesus’ hands, by Spirit, pulse into our own,
can change everything and everyone we touch.
Number six is the blood
from Jesus’ feet. It changes the path we can walk on. Matthew 7:14 tells us
“strait is the gate and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life.” Though
narrow, it is the path of dominion like God says in Deuteronomy 11:24: “Every
place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours.” This will
only be true when we walk in obedience to the ability the blood of Jesus has
given us.
And lastly, number seven.
When the soldier came to see if Jesus was dead he took his spear and pierced
Him through the side—through His belly, His lungs and His heart—making sure His
entire life force bled out. That bleeding gave us His entire life for eternity.
The blood shed from His belly made available Holy Spirit to abide within our
bellies, in our innermost self. As Jesus said, “He that believeth on me, as the
scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.”
That’s what happens when we walk by the Spirit, we flow as a living Spiritual
river.
The blood shed from His
lungs made available new life in every breath.
And the bleeding from His
heart gave us the ability to Spiritually know His heart and be able to extend God’s
heart to others. As Jesus said: “He that hath seen me hath seen the Father
(John 14:9).” For many of us, that is our lifetime goal.
