Understanding the Power of Jesus\u2019 Blood Before the Crucifixion<\/strong><\/p>\n Shalom! Welcome as we reflect on the Word of God.<\/p>\n It is well-known that Christ shed His blood at Golgotha, when nails pierced His hands and feet and His body endured countless blows. Through that blood, we receive forgiveness of sins and redemption for our souls.<\/p>\n However, the Bible shows that Jesus\u2019 blood did not first begin to flow at the Cross. It began earlier\u2014while He was praying on the Mount of Olives with His disciples.<\/p>\n But how did it flow? Not in the usual way, but through His sweat<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Luke 22:44:<\/strong> \u201cAnd being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The key question is: why did this happen during prayer? Words alone are not always enough to reach the Father; blood speaks louder than words. So, the blood that flowed while Jesus prayed spoke more powerfully than words ever could.<\/p>\n We see a similar example in the story of Abel. After Abel was killed, his blood cried out from the ground. Though he had died, his blood spoke to God and called for justice (see Genesis 4:10). God heard it and brought judgment on Cain, the one who killed him.<\/p>\n In the same way, Jesus\u2019 prayers, accompanied by the blood that flowed on the earth before His crucifixion, spoke powerfully. That is why angels came to strengthen Him afterward. The blood of Jesus speaks even better things than Abel\u2019s blood.<\/p>\n Hebrews 12:24:<\/strong> \u201c\u2026and to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n When we pray with an understanding of the revelation in Jesus\u2019 blood, our prayers become powerful. When we know and believe that His blood is being poured out for us as we pray, it speaks more effectively than our words.<\/p>\n But if we are outside the faith, that blood cannot speak on our behalf. To activate its power in our lives, we must first believe in Jesus Christ, repent of our sins, and be baptized in water and the Holy Spirit. From that moment onward, the blood begins to speak blessings for us, giving us the power to overcome Satan.<\/p>\n Revelation 12:10-11:<\/strong> May the Lord bless you.<\/p>\n Share this good news with others!<\/p>\n If you would like guidance on how to accept Jesus into your life freely, please contact us using the numbers listed below this article.<\/p>\n The Lord bless you.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n\n

\u201cI heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, \u2018Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of His Christ, for the accuser of our brothers has been hurled down, who accuses them before our God day and night.\u2019
They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
