Hebrews 9:14
“How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?”
Every time we go to pray and worship God, the enemy is there to try and bring us under condemnation. Of course his purpose is to stop us from worshiping God to worship him. He comes early in the morning even before you get out of bed with some thought to bring you under condemnation. But thank God we have God’s promised that “there is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus…” (Rom. 8:1).
Paul says in Hebrews 9: 13 that if the blood of bulls and goats was enough to cleanse the body, how much more the blood of Christ purge our conscience from dead works to worship the living God. In other words the blood of Jesus answers to anything the enemy brings to our minds to condemn us.
Condemnation robs us of our joy and peace and it kills. It stops us from receiving from God and most of all it robs God of our worship. Thank God for the blood of Jesus. We live, move and having our being in the blood of Jesus.
Therefore, when you get up in the morning and the enemy begins to give you thoughts of condemnation, remind yourself you are living in the blood. When you lift up your hands to worship and the enemy brings to your mind something you did or didn’t do, remind yourself that you’re lifting up your hands in the blood of Jesus. The blood of Jesus answers to any and every thing the enemy brings our way. The blood of Jesus has purged our conscience from dead works and freed us to worship the living God. So do it now!
