The Blood Of Jesus Protects

Exodus 12:23
23… when He sees the blood on the lintel and on the two doorposts, the Lord will pass over the door and not allow the destroyer to come into your houses to strike you.

For 400 years, the children of Israel were slaves in Egypt. Life for them was one of hard labour, pain, loss and even death. When Moses their deliverer came, what soon followed was one plague after another on the Egyptians. But none of the plagues caused Pharaoh to release them until they put the blood on their doorposts. What nine plagues could not do, the blood did! The people were finally set free because of the blood.

Are you under any kind of bondage? Are your loved ones held captive by the destroyer who is bent on destroying them? Plead the blood of the Lamb of God over all that is yours and your family’s. When nothing else seems to work, His blood always works!

Back in 1981, during a stint as a relief teacher in a primary school, one of the girls in my class was absent from school one day. I didn’t think too much about her absence until I came home that afternoon. As I was praying, I was prompted by the Holy Spirit to pray for her protection and to cover her with the precious blood of Jesus.

I came to know later that she had been abducted by a notorious serial killer who had murdered a number of young children. My pupil recounted how she had been tied up, gagged and offered to the deities the killer had in his flat. In the end, he released her when the deities found her to be an unsuitable offering.

Why was the pupil released unharmed? I believe that it was the same afternoon when I pleaded the blood of Jesus over her that she was presented before the deities. Of course, the deities did not want her because the Most High God would not allow them to have her. God was protecting her. She was set free because of the blood of Jesus!

You see, when you plead the blood of Jesus, the destroyer cannot come near. When he sees the blood, he must respect the blood. He cannot touch what is covered by the blood. And what he holds captive has to be set free!
