"And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death." -- Revelation 12:11
The old hymn is more than true in the words "There is power in the blood". The spiritual battle will never be won apart from the power of the shed blood of Jesus. Our faithful testimony and wholehearted devotion must be rooted in His blood. This truth is not archaic nor is it superstitious. The words of Leviticus 17:11 still ring true... "for it is the blood that makes atonement by the life" as well as Hebrews 9:22 "without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins."
Have you been washed in the blood of the Lamb my friend? Those coming out of the great tribulation in Revelation 8:14 "washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb." Paul the apostle spoke of the riches of God's grace bringing us true forgiveness through the blood of Jesus in Ephesians 1:7. And John reminds us in 1 John 1:7 that "the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin" There is most definitely "power in the blood", and that power can be yours just for the asking. Don't face the enemy without it.
