Then the Lord said to Cain, "Where is Abel your brother?" He said, "I do not know. Am I my brother's keeper? " And He said, "What have you done? The VOICE of your brother's blood cries out to Me from the ground." Genesis 4:9-10. The blood speaks,has a voice. When it does speak God makes Himself hear the cries and the voice of the blood. The blood gets God's attention! So how much more do we think God pays attention to the atoning Blood of Christ? So much so that He sees us who are washed & cleansed in the perfect Blood of Christ as Christ ones!!! Ones who walk in the fullness of blessing that make our hearts overflow with love. Jesus lives, He loves us, and has cleansed us in His blood. By Him living in us, He makes us kings & priests, a royal priesthood, worthy for He is worthy. This is why I believe that communion is a key that will change us from the inside, change our homes , our marriages, our children, our prayer life, even our blood DNA to be like His! Andrew Murray wrote in his book on the Blood of Christ, Let's BELIEVE that Jesus will cause us, through the Holy Spirit, to drink His Blood unto life. Let's BELIEVE wholeheartedly and appropriate the benefits of the BLOOD that we understand: reconciliation, cleansing and sanctification. Then we can say with certainty and joy, Lord your blood is my life drink. You who have washed and cleansed me by Your BLOOD will teach me every day (or several times a day) to eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His BLOOD, so that I may abide in you and you in me!!!
Exodus 34:6 And the Lord passed before him and proclaimed, "The Lord, the Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering , and abounding in goodness and truth... In this verse IS the disposition of Messiah. The early church used this important verse to judge prophecy and conduct in the church atmosphere. There were three elders who were in charge of hearing and deciding if what was said and done in that time was in the disposition of Messiah. In this very shaky and explosive time we are living in (exciting & wonderful time I might add) it would serve us well if we would write this verse on the tablet of our heart and in every circumstance, situation we find ourselves apply it rightly and justly. By doing this, we, as the body of Christ, will start looking like the "church" the public has never seen!!!
