"By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, lest he who destroyed the firstborn should touch them (Heb.11:28)."
The blood of the Passover lamb was smeared as a sign on every Hebrew house. God passed over the blood-marked houses while executing His judgment upon the Egyptians and their gods (Ex. 12:12).
Blood-sign:
The blood was the sign of the covenant people's houses (Ex. 12:13). This makes distinction between God's people and others. Every religion believes in The Lord Jesus, but they are offended at His Blood shed on the cross. Those who believe in the power of His Blood are definitely
different from the rest of the world. This sign gives you distinction and dignity. Surely, the Scarlet Cord is the Sure Sign and Token of your safety from any calamity
(Jos. 2:12,18). God put a mark on Cain to keep him from any murderers (Ge. 4:15). The blood of Jesus is God's mark on you to keep you from the arch destroyer (J. 8:44; 10:10). A special mark is placed on the true intercessors, and they escape God's judgment
(Eze. 9:4-6). Rejoice! You are a Blood-marked, precious person!
Blood seen:
God repeatedly said He would SEE the Blood and pass over that house (Ex. 12: 13,23). Blood is visible to the spirit world. God's angels and satan and his angels can see the Blood-sign on you. The spies could see the scarlet cord and save the family (Jos. 2:17-20; 6:22-25). Remember, the devil sees Jesus' Blood on you and trembles. God sees His son's Blood on you and spares. The Holy Spirit sees the Blood of Jesus on you and seals and anoints you (Eph. 1:13). Where there is Blood, there is Oil
(Lev. 8:30). Where the Lamb of God is present, there the Dove of God is present (Mt. 3:16). God sees the Blood on you! The devil sees the Blood on you! Make sure YOU see the Blood on yourself!
"When You see the Blood on me You will not allow the destroyer to come into my house to strike me (Ex. 12:23)."
"Now the blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you; and the plague shall not be on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt (Ex. 12:13)."
"By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, lest he who destroyed the firstborn should touch them (Heb.11:28)."
The Blood saves you from the power of death:
There was not a single house without a death in all Egypt that night (Ex. 12:30). Only the blood smeared houses were safe. In Christ, the power of death is broken over your life (1 Co. 15:54-57). You have victory over every spirit of death-the death of family relationships, the silent death of sickness, the death of love and warmth. In this world of ever-growing divorce rates, you need not accept the death of your marriage! In this age of rebellious children, you need not tolerate the alienation of generations! Apply the blood whenever you see any trace of death.
Beloved, the Blood of Jesus is all over you. There is no enemy that can challenge you now. Pharaoh could harden his heart after seeing every act of judgment, but he could no more withstand the final call of the blood. He and all his officials and the Egyptians melted like wax and urged them to leave the land. They heaped them with silver and gold (Ex. 12:31-32, 35-36). At last, they were redeemed from the cruel bondage of Egypt.
Remember, the Blood of Jesus Christ has redeemed you from all the power of the devil. You are eternally redeemed (Heb. 9:12). Consciously apply the Blood on the door posts of your house, your mind, eyes, ears, mouth, and all your being. Sing and celebrate His Blood and declare God's eternal judgment on your enemies. Honour the Blood and never dare despise it. Remember, no blood was to be sprinkled on the threshold where the feet would trample on it (Heb. 10:29). Trust the power of His Blood. Stay under the Blood till the night is over
(Ex. 12:22-23).
Thank You, Lord,
"When You see the Blood on me You will not allow the destroyer to come into my house to strike me (Ex. 12:23)."
"I am not redeemed with corruptible things, but with the precious Blood of Christ as of a Lamb without blemish and without spot because I am in Christ (1 Pe. 1:18-19)."
