Pleading the Blood of Christ for protection

I believe it was 1995 when I heard a sermon by a Baptist Evangelist. He mention pleading the Blood of Christ for protection but he did not teach on the subject. He just mentioned it and that was it.

A few months went by and the Lord brought that part of the sermon back to my mind. So I began studying every thing that I could on the blood.

Over the years, I have learned to plea the blood of Christ over my family and for myself for protection. Without getting into an exhaustive study I will just leave here in the forum the prayer that I pray.

====================================

Pleaing the Blood of Christ for house hold protection.

Father in Jesus name, I plea the blood of Jesus, from the roof top down all outer walls, windows and doors. over all of my property and over every object on my property. Father, I plea this Holy blood of Christ all the way to the throne of God.

Now Father, I plea the Blood of Jesus, from the rafters down all inner walls window's and doors, ceilings and floors, over every object in my house, over myself, my wife (Say there name) and my children (say there name), from the crown of our heads to the soles of our feet. Father I plea this blood all the way to the throne of God. Amen.

I always pray this prayer before going to sleep at night. The Blood of Christ, is powerful. I ask you to pray to God, for wisdom, knowledge to apply Godly wisdom, knowledge and revelation according to his will and word. Amen.

======================================

As a driver, have you notice how bad it has been just to drive your car to work or any where you maybe going?

I believe "road Rage" is due to a lack of patience. The devil uses this against us ( all of man-kind). I want you to notice that patience is a learned action, you earn it. Do not give into anxeitey especially when driving.

======================================

pleaing the Bllod of Christ over your car or whatever you are opperating.

Father I plea the Blood of Jesus over my vehical. From top to bottom, side to side, front to back.
Father, I plea this Holy blood on the inside top to floor, dash board to the interier of the trunk and over myself (the driver) and the passenger(s) say ther names. and any passenger that may ride in this vehical today. Father, I believe that Jesus precious blood, for safty and protection today. Father, I ask you through the Holy Spirit, to guide my actions and responses as we drive to and from ( say the destinations) and anywhere we may have to go. i plea this blood all the way to the throne of God. Thank you Father, Amen.

======================================

Now I ask you to do your own study on the Blood of Christ. Get your concordance and Bible and begin studying. A few Books that I have read on this subject are:

The Blood covenant by H. Clay Thumbell.

Andrew Murray:

The Blood of the Cross
Two covenants
with Christ in the school of prayer

E.W.Kenyon

Blood covenant

Maxwell Whyte

Power of the Blood

Amen! I also plead the Blood of Jesus over my family, friends, my home and more. Glory to God for the Precious & Powerful Blood of our Savior.

Although very widespread in Christian circles I have found nowhere in the bible that we should claim the blood for protection of ourselves or property.
Forgive me if I sound harsh, but this borders on superstition.

Please show me one bible verse to prove your point.

The blood atoned for the sins of the whole world, past present and future.
We were purchased, justified and redeemed by Him
Christ brings us into a covenant relationship through his blood.

The blood deals with our sins, but does not protect property or ourselves.

1. John
7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all[b] sin.
8 If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

The blood of Christ protects those who have faith in Him from the Wrath of God revealed against all unrighteousness.

I tend to agree with narrowpath.

Years ago I read much about 'pleading the blood' and used it to thwart temptation and it worked - for a while.

As time went on I became disillusioned because it quit working. I was looking to a method to accomplish 'whatever' needed to be done. And the scriptures did not teach it, either.

At this point I look to the LORD Jesus for guidance. In doing so I also have a deep appreciation for the Blood of Jesus, knowing full well its significance in my redemption.

When I need protection I will ask Him; if I need insight, I ask Him; whatever it is I am in need of I will lay this at his feet. How he will answer my concerns rests in His almighty power - and methods will very. God cannot be manipulated by 'words'. If he tells me to 'plead the blood' I will be happy to do so, but it will only be at his direction.

If you live a holy life Satan is already bound because, "Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world."

I don't care about being wrong. I just want truth.

So, in all sincerity do you see it as wrong, hindering or just unnecessary? I dont preach it or teach it, I just pray it but if it is wrong or hindering I want to know. Thanks for your input. I am also asking the Lord to show me. Maybe it just makes me feel good remembering the Blood. I am not sure now..

Amen, MrBillPro!

Remember... We overcome with the Blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony.

Sheri,

I would hope you will not feel intimidated by my post.

Appreciate the Blood of Jesus but more important love the person from whom it came and I am sure you do. This is the key, trust Him...How He will accomplish His will will take many forms...just be prepared to be surprised! :-)

Study to show yourself approved. Pray until you find your answers.

Many old time preachers preached and written about the blood. Search the sermons here on sermonindex.

I will not argue the word of God with anyone here. They have a Bible the same as I do. Listen if you want to know the truth study and pray. It's not the easiest route but it is the safest.

Study to show yourself approved.

narrowpath,

We draw a blood line to keep the devil out. It isn't superstition, quaky stuff. I'llgive you a complete chapter. There is no one verse that says do this. You don't have to. However, those that have revelation do.

Exodus chapter 12. read the whole chapter. It is in the passover. Then conduct a study on the topic.

Pray and study. Andrew Murray and many preachers of old have taught and wrote about it.

Hmmm, I never knew Jesus would quite working in ones life.
We are in a blood covenant with the Father ( God), through Christ Jesus our Lord.

You can disagree that is your choice.
All i ask is that you spend some time in prayer and study.
Thank you.

I won't argue with that. Amen. However, Paul lived a Holy life and so did all of the Aposles, didn't the devil attack each and everyone of them?

Not everyone will agree with the pleading of the Holy Blood Of Christ and that's fine. But for those whom d,o use the prayer model at the beggining of this thread. Then begin your study and pray for wisdom, knowledge and revelation according to God's will and word.

Again this is not superstitious mumbo jumbo. We draw a blood line in faith to thwart or stop the attacks of the devil on ourselves and family.

sonsigns, I Love your posts, they are short and sweet, and I can feel your sincere Love for Christ in them, and your sweet spirit you carry. May God continue to Bless you and work through you, to bring in the lost sheep.
God Bless
Mr. Bill

Thank you all for your kind and loving replies. Two things I do know. One, I will seek and two, God is faithful. Glory to God. May we know Him in Spirit and in Truth and this comes by seeking, asking and waiting. Again, thank you all. Your a blessing.

Hello Sonsigns,

Here it says in Exodus:

12For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD.

13And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.

As some said here before, the blood of the lamb protects from God's judgement. The destroyer was God's angel, and not a satanic entity.

There is a measure of protection when we confess our sins and the blood cleanses us from all sins. Nevertheless Satan does accuse and attack the elect of God and this is what the saints in the OT and NT constantly experienced - even to the point of death. Nobody in the bible ever "claimed the blood" for protection from Satan.

Satan does not have to trouble backslidden or pseudo Christians, because he has them under his control already.

When it comes to the word of God, we must be most accurate or we miss the point. I may sound argumentative but you still have not convinced me by scripture. I you do so, I will easily be convinced.

Interesting discussion... I want to add 1 John 2:12-13

The Apostle John mentioned
12 I am writing unto you little children,...

13 I am writing to you, fathers, ... I am writing to you, young men,... I write to you, boys (lads), ...

We all are at different stages in our revelation knowledge (Ginosko - Eido - Epignosis).
A young man 25 years old could be a father. And a person 56 years old and a believer for 30 years could be a little child.

Romans 14:1 Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations.
Romans 14:2 For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.
Romans 14:3 Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.
Romans 14:4 Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.
Romans 14:5 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
Romans 14:6 He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.
Romans 14:7 For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.
Romans 14:8 For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.
Romans 14:9 For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.
Romans 14:10 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
Romans 14:11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
Romans 14:12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
Romans 14:13 Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.
Romans 14:14 I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
Romans 14:15 But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.
Romans 14:16 Let not then your good be evil spoken of:
Romans 14:17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
Romans 14:18 For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men.
Romans 14:19 Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.
Romans 14:20 For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.
Romans 14:21 It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.
Romans 14:22 Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.
Romans 14:23 And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.

I appreciate your request, Narrowpath, for scripture.

I am in the middle of a slow and careful study of the whole armor of God, making use of what I know of both the devises of Satan and victory in spiritual warfare. In this conversation, DOUBT of God/His Word is at play.

Have you considered Hebrews 9:19 in context speaks of our being blood-sprinkled as does 1 Peter 1:2. Revelation 12:11 speaks of believers overcoming Satan.

As you say: "the blood of the lamb protects from God's judgment" and "Satan does accuse and attack the elect of God". For example, as you sin against God and your spouse on the way to teaching a Sunday school class, have you ever heard the thought and felt the accompanying feelings, "How can you a hypocrite presume to teach ..." Through His life, that is to say, His blood, it is Christ's righteousness that defends against the attack. Again as you say,the Blood continues to cleanse.

I thank God for the saturating power of the Blood of the Lamb.

There is no real way to have the needed conversation here but meditating on Eph. 6:10-20 could lead to understanding the prayerful spiritual use of the Blood of the Lamb.

The physical blood of Jesus Christ the Lamb of God is not in Heaven. The physical body of Jesus Christ which is His glorified body given Him in resurrection is flesh and bone and The Spirit of God. It says flesh and blood cannot enter the kingdom of God. What was the altar the precious blood of Christ was sprinkled on? The altar was at the Foot of the Cross. That is the cleansing of the whole world the Word of God speaks of. This is just a small excerpt from Gaebeline's bible commentary; This is just the feet shod with the Gospel of peace.

""This perfect peace we have, in which we stand is our preparation. And we have the peace of God as well, yea, the legacy our Lord left unto us, "My peace I give unto you." Therefore we are not terrified by our adversaries (Php 1:28). Israel wandered over the desert rocks and desert sands for forty years with shoes, which did not wear out. We too wander through the wilderness, the feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace, a peace which will last as long as God Himself. Knowing this Peace, knowing we are in God's hands, knowing that we are Christ's and Christ is God's, knowing that all things are ours, we can stand and withstand the wiles of the devil. He cannot touch one who rests in the peace of God and who trusts in the God of peace."" End.

The Blood has done all its work and will never cease. But the living Christ that is in us, "Christ in you the hope of Glory", is our protection and all it takes is to believe that the Whole Armour of God is in us, that is why we are to put it on, It is already there, like a coat in the closet for cold weather, put it on.

This is going to be adversarial, but pleading the blood is like saying I bought a coat and put it in the closet for cold weather. My Coat of Christ was bought by the Precious Blood. Paid for in full, and is not to be accomplished by installment payments of my pleading.

Christ in us is the light and darkness cannot do any harm to anyone who lives in Light and the Light lives in US.
The only way Satan can do anything to a believer is by God's permission to bring us to this Gospel of Peace, Christ. Like Pauls thorn, to keep him from being puffed up by the greatest of all secrets, that is the Mystery of, "Christ in you the Hope of Glory". This new creation race cannot be used to Satan glory, only to Gods. By His perfect will for us.

Colossians 1:26-29 Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.

God is greater than even my own heart when it condemns me.

1 John 3:20 For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.

Hebrews 9:24 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:

Romans 8:29-31 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?

Satan is not our adversary, we are our own worst adversary, by our old man minds which keep us in bondage, bondage to who?

Ga 5:1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
Heb 2:15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
2Pe 2:19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.

We are not overcome, we are free, "if Christ has set you free, we are free indeed."

In Christ: Phillip
