REDEEMED
BY THE BLOOD of
HEBREWS
9:19,20 FOR WHEN EVERY COMMAND OF THE LAW HAD BEEN READ OUT BY MOSES TO ALL THE
PEOPLE, HE TOOK THE BLOOD OF SLAIN CALVES AND GOATS, TOGETHER WITH THE WATER
AND SCARLET WOOL AND WITH A BUNCH OF HYSSOP, AND SPRINKLED BOTH THE BOOK [THE
ROLL OF THE LAW AND COVENANT] ITSELF AND ALL THE PEOPLE. SAYING THESE WORDS:
THIS IS THE BLOOD THAT SEALS AND RATIFIES THE AGREEMENT [THE TESTAMENT, THE
COVENANT] WHICH GOD COMMANDED [ME TO DELIVER TO] YOU.
TEACHING
AND REVELATION ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF THE BLOOD OF
Hebrews verifies this need in people’s lives. Under the old covenant, when
the BOOK OF THE LAW was read, it was sprinkled with blood, and so were the
people.
This was a way of sealing and ratifying the testament or covenant between God
and
THE NEW COVENANT
Today, we do not have to sprinkle the blood of animals on the Bible and on
our selves before reading. What we do
need is an understanding about the blood of
The Bible is a book about Blood. It speaks of the Blood, from Geneses to
Revelation.

REVELATION
WHY ALL THE BLOOD?
BECAUSE THE SCRIPTURE SAYS THE LIFE IS IN THE BLOOD.
LEVITICUS
JUST
AS LIGHT IS THE ONLY THING THAT CAN CONQUER OR OVERCOME DARKNESS,
SO LIFE IS THE ONLY THING THAT CAN CONQUER OR OVERCOME DEATH.
GENESIS
2:7 When God created
The chemical substance that we call blood carries life.
If a person loses his blood, he loses his life.
NO BLOOD MEANS NO LIFE, BECAUSE THE BLOOD CARRIES THE LIFE.
LIFE is a spiritual substance, but it must have a physical carrier.
The BLOOD carries the life of God, for He is LIFE!

THE VIRGIN BIRTH OF
ISAIAH 7:14 HEREFORE THE LORD HIMSELF SHALL GIVE YOU
A SIGN: BEHOLD, THE YOUNG WOMAN WHO IS UNMARRIED AND A VIRGIN SHALL CONCEIVE
AND BEAR A SON, AND SHALL CALL HIS NAME IMMANUEL [GOD WITH US]
In "THE POWER OF THE BLOOD," written by H. A. Maxwell Whyte, it says, regarding the supernatural conception of
Jesus in the womb, of Mary:
"The female ovum itself has no blood, neither has
the male sperm, but it is when these come together, in the fallopian tube, that
conception takes place, and a new life begins.
The blood cells in this new creation are from both the father and the mother,
and the blood type is determined at the Moment of conception and is thereafter
protected by the placenta, from any flow of the mother’s blood into the fetus.”
THE BIBLE IS EXPLICIT THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT WAS THE DIVINE AGENT WHO
CAUSED
This was not a normal conception, but a supernatural ACT OF GOD, in
planning the life of His already existent Son, right in the womb of
As the blood type of the Son of God was a separate and precious type, it is
inconceivable that
ALL the Child’s blood came from His Father in Heaven,
by a Supernatural creative act of God.

AUTHORITY WAS GIVEN TO
Gen 1:26-28
Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image,
according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea,
over the birds of the air,
and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that
creeps on the earth. So God created man in His own image; in the image of God
He created him; male and female He created them. Then God blessed them, and God
said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it;
have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over
every living thing that moves on the earth." (NKJ)
Adam was intended, by God to have authority over ALL [THE OTHER]
Things God had created.
GOD gave him authority and told him to take dominion and subdue the earth.
Man was to rule under God, to be the physical carrier for the SPIRIT OF GOD in
the earth.
He was created with the ability to
choose!
He was to use all the resources of the earth, in service of God,
and man.
He was to be led, guided and controlled willingly, by the SPIRIT OF GOD, to
minister to God and for God.
THE COMMAND
GIVEN TO
Gen 2:15-17
Then the LORD God took the man and put him in the garden
of Eden to tend and keep it. And the LORD God commanded the man, saying,
"Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; "but of the tree of
the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat
of it you shall surely die."(NKJ)
IF
God had entered into a covenant relationship with man, and in covenant, BOTH
partners give their very best!
FATAL MISTAKE!
The Lord had given
There was only one thing that God had told him NOT to do!
THE TEMPTATION OF
Gen 3:1-11
Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the
field which the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, "Has God
indeed said, 'You shall not eat of every tree of the garden'?"
2 And the woman said to the serpent, "We may eat the fruit of the trees of
the garden;
3 "but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God
has said, 'You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.'"
4 Then the serpent said to the woman, "You will not surely die.
5 "For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened,
and
you will be like God, knowing good and evil."
6 So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant
to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and
ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate.
7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked;
and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings.
8 And they heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of
the day, and
9 Then the LORD God called to
10 So he said, "I heard Your voice in the garden,
and I was afraid because I was naked; and I hid myself."
11 And He said, "Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the
tree of which I commanded you that you should not eat?" (NKJ)

THE FALL OF ADAM
Gen 3:8-15
And they heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool
of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD
God among the trees of the garden. Then the LORD God called to
So the LORD God said to the serpent: "Because you have done this, you are
cursed more than all cattle, and more than every beast of the field; on your
belly you shall go, and you shall eat dust all the days of your life. And I
will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed;
he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel." (NKJ)

We need to understand that
THE RESTORATION OF
Eph 2:4-8
But God, who is rich in mercy, because
of His great love with which He loved us,
even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by
grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together
in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show
the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For
by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is
the gift of God, (NKJ)
IF YOU BELIEVE THAT JESUS DIED FOR YOUR SINS AND THAT WHEN YOU DIE YOU WILL
GO TO HEAVEN, YOU SHOULD ALSO KNOW THERE IS MORE TO REDEMPTION THAN THAT.
THERE IS A LIFE OF VICTORY THAT GOD WANTS FOR US NOW!
OUR POSITION IN
WE MUST LEARN TO OPERATE IN OUR RIGHTFUL AUTHORITY AND DOMINION OVER THE
DEVIL AND ALL HIS WORKS.
