The Blood of the Lamb Has Power
The blood of Jesus Christ has the power to cleanse and heal, and we can overcome sin and condemnation by believing in his righteousness.
David Wilkerson emphasizes the transformative power of the blood of Jesus, which serves as a singular sacrifice capable of cleansing and healing. He reassures listeners that no sin is too great to be forgiven and encourages them to return to God like the prodigal son. Wilkerson urges believers to reject condemnation and fear, affirming that Christ is their righteousness and that they should not return to their past sins. He invites those who have drifted from faith to reconnect with God's love and grace, especially during Easter, reminding them that salvation comes through belief in Jesus. Ultimately, he highlights the hope and freedom found in the cleansing power of Christ's blood.
Text
Jesus came as one blood sacrifice, and the blood of this Lamb has power. Power to cleanse, power to heal, and millions upon millions around the world have experienced the glory and the power of this cleansing blood of Jesus Christ.
We serve the living Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.
Ask the Holy Spirit to come and speak to your heart in that still, small voice. If you don't know Christ, that's what Easter is all about. I want you to take a step as the prodigal son did: he walked back to the father.
First of all, I want you to know that there's no sin that anyone has ever committed that's so horrible or so wicked that it can't be forgiven. God doesn't turn anybody down. Secondly, I ask you--once you've confessed your sins and believed in the cleansing power of Jesus Christ's blood--don't go back to them. Give them over, and don't let the devil haunt you with them because those sins are under the blood of Christ.
Some of you live in condemnation. You live in fear. Believe that this lamb was slain for you, and your sin was laid on his shoulder. He carried your sin, and he paid the price for that, and there's nothing you can do to work it through. So, right now, just lay it down. Then when these thoughts come back to hound you, say, "Jesus is my righteousness. Christ is my righteousness. Christ is my righteousness."
When Satan comes and lies to you, when he tells you that you still have some devil in you or whatever he says. Right now, just say back: "Christ is my righteousness."
Say it right now. "Christ is my righteousness."
Glory be to God. He is our righteousness. We deserved hell, and he gave us heaven because we trust in him.
I want you to allow the Holy Spirit to speak to your heart if you've drifted from him and want to come back to his love and grace on this Easter. The Bible says believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shall be saved. I believe that. I believe that with all my heart.
