Magnificent Prayer #244
And ye shall observe this thing [the sprinkling of the blood] for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons for ever.
Exodus 12:24 KJV
The Israelites sprinkled blood in Egypt and it brought deliverance!
Rahab used the blood-line token and it brought deliverance!
The High Priests of the Old Testament sprinkled blood and it brought forgiveness!
Jesus sprinkled His own Blood and purchased salvation for all mankind!
We, the New Testament sons and daughters of the High Priest Jesus, may now sprinkle Blood for forgiveness, salvation, redemption, healing, protection and victory!
Lest anyone should think that the sprinkling of the blood was for the Old Testament saints only, and that the practice ceased when Jesus sprinkled His own precious Blood on our behalf, I would remind you of God’s command in Exodus that the sprinkling of the blood is God’s ordinance forever. If Blood must be sprinkled today, then it must be the New Testament priests who do it—and we are those priests if we believe in the Son of God.
H. A. MAXWELL WHYTE
Pray About It: There’s an old-time hymn, “There’s Power in the Blood,” that is rich in meaning for the prayer warrior. The blood of Christ is the basis for success in prayer. Throughout the Bible, the scarlet thread of salvation is present, from the Passover blood of the lamb to Rahab’s scarlet cord in the window, to Christ’s sacrifice at Calvary. Learning to plead the blood of Christ in prayer is a vital lesson every Christian must learn.
As you pray, look to the blood of Christ and all that it has accomplished. As another fine Christian song says, “The blood will never lose its power.” It’s there for you and me today.
Would you be free from the burden of sin?
There’s power in the blood, power in the blood;
Would you over evil a victory win?
There’s wonderful power in the blood.
There is power, power, wonder working power In the blood of the Lamb;
There is power, power, wonder working power In the precious blood of the Lamb.
