It Was Enough
"The Blood is a Power Word that has fallen out of favor with man, but not with Heaven."
~ Dr. Kevin L. Zadai
After you watch the video and read the study notes on this page, answer these questions here on the Blog mentioned above:
Yet how much more will the sacred blood of the Messiah thoroughly cleanse our consciences! For by the power of the eternal Spirit he has offered himself to God as the perfect Sacrifice that now frees us from our dead works to worship and serve the living God. —Hebrews 9:14 TPT
DISCUSSION:
The blood of Jesus is sacred, and we know that the blood is powerful, but it is also perfect. The word perfect is used in the Book of Genesis when it talks about Noah. The Bible says that Noah and the people that accompanied him were perfect. Noah was perfect in his generation and his genetic family line (see Genesis 6:9). In those days before the flood, there was interbreeding happening, and the seed of the serpent; satan, was getting into the bloodline of human beings.
The whole earth was destroyed except for Noah. We see that Jesus was the one who brought back humanity. He was the perfect lamb that was not genetically flawed in any way. When Mary had Jesus through the Holy Spirit, the body Jesus was given was perfect. When He was sacrificed, He was perfectly one hundred percent human, and He didn't have any tainted blood in Him. Satan planned to go to God after he infiltrated through the bloodline. In the Bible, the genealogies have proven that satan never got into the bloodlines, so everyone remained pure up to Mary's bloodline. Satan was hoping that he could get the seed of the serpent into human beings through the hybrid races so that after Jesus died on the cross, he could go to Heaven and say, “I got you, Father, Jesus was not totally human because I made my way in here, here and here, and He's blemished, so He's not a perfect lamb.” Jesus instead made a fool of him and made a show of him openly triumphing over the cross because He was perfectly human. Jesus was also perfectly God.
Jesus’ sacrifice frees us from the law; and obeying the law. You can't be good enough. You can't obey all the laws because were always in our weakness; therefore, we can't fulfill the law. We can't do everything right because of our weakness, but Paul said, in our weakness, we're made strong because the Spirit of God comes in and super intercedes on our behalf (see Romans 8:26 TPT). In Hebrews, it says that this blood frees us so that we can freely worship God and have the fulfillment of the law through that precious blood. Jesus fulfilled the law through the blood, and we're completely exonerated of our past sins when we accept Him as Lord.
o In what ways has Jesus saved humanity? How has the blood of Jesus caused you to be free from the law? (see Romans 8 as a reference for discussion)
Hebrews 10:19 NLT: And so, dear brothers and sisters, we can boldly enter Heaven’s Most Holy Place because of the blood of Jesus.
* We have direct access to the Holy of Holies because it says that the veil is “rent” or “torn.”
* Jesus is the new and living way into the Holy of Holies. The veil is no longer in place. It's gone, and we all have access to that through Jesus’ precious blood.
* Getting the opportunity to enter in would be enough all on its own, but it says we can boldly enter in. Boldly entering in would mean that it is without having to request an appointment.
* That Holy place where the Shekinah glory was, the Ark of the Covenant, the atonement, and the mercy seat with the golden cherubim, where the blood was placed in the center that is open to all of us, and we're allowed to walk right in.
JESUS COMES TO SAVE
Jesus said, even after Adam and Eve fell in the garden, I came down. They were in a sinful state, so Jesus came down and wanted to know where they were. Then when Cain messed up, He came and tried to talk him out of it. Even in man's fallen state, they were still way beyond what we could imagine today.
That's how far we've fallen is that they, who were still in sin, lived a thousand years. You could hardly kill a man back then. That's how powerful of a position God made us in originally.
We've been given this new and living way, and the only thing left that has not been defeated or dealt with is physical death. We still die physically, but we don't die spiritually anymore because we’re in Christ; the key is to remain in Christ and walk in the spirit with Him. We are secure if we stay in the secret place.
We've been restored to the way Adam and Eve were before they sinned. We also can't see the face of God and live, but Adam and Eve could even in their sin. The Lord showed me that we have the same privileges that Adam and Eve did before the fall. We just don’t live forever on earth like they did. The only enemy we still have is physical death. That shows us how far we’ve fallen. All the genealogies are in the Bible to prove that there was a lineage that stayed clean. The Godly line of Seth is listed at the top. Seth just kept on living, which could be because the genetics weren’t flawed at the top. The original bloodlines just kept living. Adam lived to 930 years; Methuselah lived 969 years. When Jesus came, He was the perfect sacrifice with no flaws of any kind in His genetics. He made it so that our past sins are non-existent, so we shouldn’t be thinking about them. We are forgiven.
* Revelation 12:11 NKJV: And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.
* They overcame the antichrist by the Blood of the Lamb. Jesus’ perfect blood is speaking today. They overcame the antichrist by the word of their testimony.
* We are 2,000 years from the time of the cross. We don't know how many years it's going to be until the Antichrist shows his face. It could be months or years. It could be decades. It could be a few hundred years before the antichrist comes.
* The saints that are alive when the antichrist comes have to confront and come against him. They will not love their lives unto death. They are willing to die for this. It's not a popular choice to die this way, but it’s in the Gospel.
* They did not consider their life as being so valuable that they would preserve it. In the case of standing up for their testimony and using the blood of Jesus as an aggressive weapon, they counted not their life.
* They would get beat up for talking about Jesus. Then they would pray for boldness to go back into the streets to preach. If that happened today and you were on the street preaching and got thrown in jail, you’d get out quickly and probably start a YouTube channel. These guys would go right back out into the street and get ready to be beaten up again.
* In these end times, we should consider becoming a little more aggressive and bolder in our approach to sharing the Gospel.
o Is what your believing God for worth dying for? Would you lay your life down for Him? Do you value your life more than what it takes to be bold in sharing the Gospel? What is your feeling towards death? Do you fear it? Discuss eternal life.
Luke 22:20 NKJV: Likewise, He also took the cup after supper saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is shed for you.
* Jesus is saying, this is my blood. Do this as often as you meet in remembrance of me.
* He is also saying; I’m about to shed my blood. If you don’t drink of my blood and eat of my flesh, you have no part of me.
* You have to take in all of and have communion with Him.
* It is all about the blood of Jesus, and His blood was enough.
