What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise You? Will it declare Your truth? Psalm 30.9

After taking the people out of captivity in Egypt, Moses delivered the following word from God, saying that life is in the blood: For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls, for it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul (Leviticus 17.11). Imagine what will happen when you put your blood, your soul, on the Lord’s altar? In fact, we have to do this every day in order to bless others!

There was great profit in the blood – in the soul – of David, king of Israel, shepherd of his people and prophet! He delivered the divine message in the Psalms he composed! To this day, we are tremendously blessed by these hymns. In them, David showed his sufferings and the way out indicated by God. Now, we are more than conquerors through the One whom the Father sent to save us from eternal death. And, as sons and daughters, we are used in God’s work because of His love (2 Corinthians 2:14,15).

Before you go down to the grave, God wants to receive thanks from your blood for what He has done on your behalf. The Lord has healed you of your pain and sickness, delivered you from the kingdom of darkness and saved you from eternal destiny in the lake of fire and brimstone (Colossians 1:13,14). You are now a full citizen of the Kingdom of Heaven with a passport to go into eternity. He was good to you, giving you His Spirit so that you would have power over all the enemy’s ability. Do you believe this?

As long as you are alive, Jesus wants to enlighten you with the wisdom of His Kingdom. In this way, your life will be an example to others. The Lord will give you His grace to make you successful here on Earth and then in Glory. The best has already been given to you, for He has entrusted you with the Holy Spirit, placing this treasure in an earthen vessel (2 Corinthians 4:7). Learn about the Almighty’s promises to the saved!

When our bodies return to dust, the Lord will not receive the praise we owe him. The living who do not seek to receive the deliverance they so desperately need from God do not know how much they are missing out on. Jesus said that he would build his Church, not an evangelical club where people would gather to enjoy each other’s friendship. Christ’s Church must be alive and powerful, or it won’t be His organization (Matthew 16:18). He wants us to be active!

We are saved to proclaim how good it is to be delivered by Jesus from the deception of the evil one. For us, the kingdom of darkness is as if it didn’t exist. We know about the evil imposed by demons in people’s lives, causing them to waste away as if there were no divine provision for them. We need to be positive and perceptive, so that the enemy doesn’t drag us into his filthy webs. We already live in the Kingdom of Light!

It doesn’t matter how much you suffer, nor the name of the illness that afflicts you. According to the Bible, Jesus did not leave the devil with power over Christians, because he said: Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you (Luke 10:19). So never fear the devil’s threats, because they are lies!

In Christ, with love,
