Christ Makes a New Blood Covenant with Believers
The story will forever be told how Pilate sat on his judgment seat and ordered Jesus to be scourged. Jewish Law states that a criminal condemned to death must not be scourged, but Pilate ordered the unlimited scourging to pacify the bloodthirsty Jews. Since Romans Law has no legal limit to the number of stripes a law breaker can get, the scourging of Jesus was more brutal than Jew’s forty stripes. It was a double sentence for Jesus to fulfill Prophet Isaiah’s prophesy of how His Body was broken for many: “ But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed” . Isa 53:5
At the Last Supper, before His crucifixion, Christ seals the New Covenant with His blood. The New Covenant was different from the Ancient and Abrahamic Covenants and the Passover Lamb combined. It was a Blood Covenant made with the Blood of the Lamb! Life of God for Life of all humanity!
At the Last Supper, Jesus addressed His disciples this way: “ And He took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you”. Lk 22:19-20
The Healing Promises of the New Covenant.
Now let’s examine some healing promises of the Covenant:
“…my body which is given for you…” Lk 22:19

“…by whose stripes ye were healed”. I Pet 2:24
“…healed them that had need of healing”. Lk 9:11

The Blood of Jesus Carries Life!
The blood of Jesus is not Life! It carries Life and Eternity of the Godhead . When you drink a good wine, you know the wine is good by its taste! When you drink the blood of Jesus, you drink the Eternal Life of God the Father in the Son. Christ took the condemnation and curse of sin of all humanity upon Himself. The healing stream of His blood is forever flowing to cleanse the spirit, soul and body of all believers. On the basis of His blood on the Mercy Seat in heaven, the blood of Jesus pleads mercy, forgiveness, pardon, healing, protection, deliverance, joy and peace. The Shekinah glory of God that lighted the darkened room of the Holy of Holies in the Old Testament is now available for every believer. Hallelujah to the Lamb of God!
Yesterday Left Over is not Acceptable…
The redemptive power of the blood of the Cross is renewed every morning because of the faithfulness of God. Sitting at the right hand of God the Father pleading for the Saints, yesterday left over blood is not accepted on the Mercy Seat. It is fresh and full of Life of the Father daily.
So go ahead and drink the blood of the Lamb, and eat the flesh of the crucified Savior! It is Holy! It is contagious to the devil! It is called Holy Communion of the Saints! At the Table of the Lord, all our sins are forgiven. At the Mercy Seat of the Lord, all our infirmities are made whole.
The point is this: when God sees the blood of the Lamb, He does NOT see the sins of human race. The Holy Spirit answers to the blood of Jesus! The Word (Water) of God answers to the blood of Jesus! Demons, sickness, disease, failure, poverty, sorrow are destroyed when touch by the blood of Jesus! Eph 6:17; Rev 12:11; Heb 12:22-24; I Pet 1:18-19, Gal 3:13; Isa 53:4-5
When you plead the blood of Jesus over your lives and show God that your life and children solely depend on the finished work of the Cross, the blood then speaks mercy on your behalf before the Holy God. Satan cannot stand the blood of Jesus when is pleaded out loud this way. The Bible says: “ And they overcame Satan by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death”. Rev 12:11 . The blood of Jesus is mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds. II Corinth 10:4
Thus the blood of Jesus remains the greatest weapon of the Saints. The blood is the only payment that can make atonement for our souls. Lev 17:11
When I See The Blood…
Jesus is our “Passover Lamb” by shedding His precious blood for us on the Cross. I Corinth 5:7. “When I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you”. Exo 12:13 . We are bought with a price! To quickly open the windows of heaven for victory, we must pray the blood of Jesus by faith, and sprinkle it with our lips in every situation we may face. The pleading of the blood itself brings believers victory over Satan, and to a new dimension of power with a new look of glory.
Now you know, now you have it! I am not drunk; I am only intoxicated by Christ and the redemptive power in His blood! May the Holy One of Israel, leads us higher to full revelation of the power in His blood. Amen.
