DAY 1: The Blood of Jesus is proof that HE LOVES YOU!

You were God’s idea. He loved you before the world began. Revelation 1:5 says “and from
Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the
earth. To Him who loves us and washed us from our sins by His own blood…”

Notice the order in which God does this marvelous work. He loved us FIRST. Then He
washed us. He does not love what is washed, but instead, He washes what He loves! That's
YOU!

God gave His very best to purchase you and PROVE to you how valuable you are to Him.

The value of something is determined by the price in which someone would pay for it—and
God paid the ultimate price FOR YOU! Why would He pay that high a price for something He
didn’t value? He wouldn’t. So, His blood is proof of the worth and value He places on you.

Jesus’ blood purchases you for the Father! He paid the greatest price so that you would
never have to question His love. He paid for you with His blood to bring you to Him—and
now NOTHING can separate you from His Love. (Ephesians 2:13, Romans 8:38-39) The
blood of Jesus has brought you right into the presence of God, and into a close, intimate
fellowship with God the Father. Enjoy His love today, and believe you are fully accepted in
His presence now.

DAILY DECLARATION:

Father, I thank you that I am loved by You and valued beyond measure! I am so thankful
that the blood of Jesus has brought me into close, intimate fellowship with You. I choose to
take advantage of the opportunity that I have to fellowship with You and spend time in
Your presence freely. Amen!

DAY 2: The Blood WASHES You!

Revelation 1:5 “To Him who loves us and washed us from our sins by His blood…”

Remember the Father washed us! When you love something, you take care of it—whether
it’s a car, a home or something more precious like a child. Well, God loves you so much, that
He couldn’t fathom your sin separating you from His holy presence for eternity. So, He did
something about it. He washed you. He removed your sin. Sin brings death. But He could
only remove it with something more powerful than sin and death. The Bible says that LIFE
is in the blood. So, the spotless blood of Jesus, brings His LIFE, canceling out our sin and
death! Life conquers death! God does not merely cover our sins; He removes them and
washes them completely away as if they had never been.

The blood washes our sins away; and washes us, making us pure and holy. But it
doesn’t stop there. Jesus’ blood redeems us from the curse of the law. The curse of
the law included shame, sickness, disease, emotional illness, family problems and so
much more. But Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law and its effects. The
curse and its effects have no hold on you anymore!

The precious blood of Jesus reconciles you to God. When you are washed by the blood
of Jesus, you are made right with God. Now, when God sees you, He does not see a sinful
former version of you, He sees the cleansed and purified new version of you. In fact, when
God sees you, He sees Jesus! 1 John 4:17 "because as He is, so also are we in this world."

This is why you can now have an unhindered and unbroken fellowship with God. The
sin that separated us from Him has been completely paid for, removed, and washed
away! What can wash away our sins? Nothing but the blood of Jesus!

DAILY DECLARATION:

Father, I thank You for the blood of Jesus that washes me and cleanses me from all of my
sins. I no longer have to feel that I am not worthy of being in Your presence. I am so
thankful that You do not just cover over my sins, but that You washed them completely
away. Thank You that You have redeemed me from the curse of sin and failure, through the
blood of Jesus, and I am no longer bound by my past or generational curses. Thank You,
Father, that the blood of Jesus guarantees that sin no longer separates me from fellowship
with You. I can walk hand in hand with You. Amen!
DAY 3: The Blood of Jesus MAKES You Something!

Revelation 1:5–6 “and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead,
and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who loved us and washed us from our
sins by His own blood, and has made us kings and priests to his God and Father, to
him be glory and power forever and ever! Amen."

He loved us, He washed us, and He MADE US SOMETHING. What did he make you?

He made you a King. The blood not only proves God's love, It not only washes our sins
away, but It MAKES us something that we weren't before. It makes us kings in this life.
Romans 5:17 says, through the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness, we
reign as KINGS in this life. Jesus is the King of Kings. And His blood makes you and me
the kings that He is the King of! As a child of God, you are NOW in the royal family, and
that makes you ROYALTY. You are now made to rule over life's problems, reign over
the devil's attacks, and have dominion over sin & the power of the enemy. You are a
king.

He made you a priest. Under the old covenant law, only the priest could go before God
on behalf of the people. And multiple requirements had to be met including bringing the
blood of an animal to the mercy seat to atone for the people's sin. But because of the
blood of Jesus, YOU now have direct access to the throne of God. You are a priest! He
made you holy. You are sanctified and set apart by the blood of Jesus to go before God
on your behalf and on behalf of others to pray with power when needed. You have the
authority now, to bless others, as a priest would bless people in the Old Covenant. Oh,
beloved, you are NOW made a king and a priest before God, by the precious blood of
Jesus!

He made you righteous. Romans 5:9 says we have been made righteous by His
blood. That simply means we are now right with God and have the biblical rights of
children of God. By His blood, we can stand before God without guilt, inferiority,
condemnation, shame, or fear. It also means we can stand boldly in the face of our
mistakes, and not be shamed away from God's presence. We can stand up to the
enemy, and he must flee! Yes, the blood of Jesus did all that!

DAILY DECLARATION:

Father, I thank You that by the blood of Jesus, You have made me a king and a priest
before You. I can reign in life. And I can come before You without fear or shame. I can
ever come to the throne of grace to receive mercy and grace in my time of need
because Your blood has made me right with You, and given me rights in this world to
rule and reign with Jesus Christ. As He is, so am I in this world! Amen!
DAY 4: The Blood SAVES You!

Romans 5:9 “Since, therefore, we have now been justified by His blood, much more
shall we be saved by Him from the wrath of God.”

The blood of Jesus saves you! Remember, He washed you with His own blood, and in
doing so, He saved you once and for all.

The blood saves you from God’s wrath. God is not mad at you; He is mad about you!
His anger lasted for a moment toward Jesus on the cross, but His favor lasts for a
lifetime for you, BECAUSE of the cross. Jesus became the lightning rod, absorbing all
of God's wrath so that you can absorb all of God's grace, mercy, and love.

The blood saves you from spiritual death. In fact, death has no hold over you any
longer. Death is the consequence of sin. By death, I mean eternal separation from God.
The blood of Jesus reverses the curse of separation and solves the problem of spiritual
death, by uniting us back to God.

The blood saves you from sin. When you say "God what about my sin?" God says,
"What sin?" God dealt with sin once and for all on the cross and has set you free.
Hebrews 8 says, "Your sins and iniquities, I will remember no more." That promise is
purely because the blood of Jesus saves us from sin forever! You are made innocent by
the blood of Jesus. You are free from guilt, shame, and condemnation forever!

The blood saves you from yourself. In our own power we fail, but when we lean into
His love, and we accept that salvation is a complete work of God's grace, we are free!
We are free from striving to save ourselves. We are free from needing to prove our
righteousness. We are saved, made righteous, and freed from self-trust by the blood of
Jesus!
DAILY DECLARATION:

Father, I thank You that I am forgiven, I am saved, and I am redeemed by the blood of
Jesus! I declare that You are my defender and my avenger. I do not need to fight to
save myself because You did that for me. I no longer need to spend my time defending
myself against accusations. I am unaccusable because of the blood. I am forever Yours,
and nothing can snatch me out of Your hands. Amen!

DAY 5: The Blood of Jesus FREES You!

The blood frees you from grief &

sorrow. Surely, He hath borne our griefs, and carried oursorrows . . . and
with His stripes, we are healed.—Isaiah 53:4-5

Through His blood, Jesus has made the great exchange for your freedom. He took what
we had, and gave us what He had! Are you grieving today, carrying sorrow of any kind?
Give it to Jesus today. He paid for it on the cross. No matter how much you feel like
you might deserve to suffer, Jesus paid for it, so you don’t have to. Jesus carried it
away on the cross. Resist the temptation to give into grief and sorrow. Put on the
garment of praise for His glorious sacrifice, and expect sorrow and sadness to turn to
rejoicing and gladness.

The blood frees you from sickness & pain. "By His stripes, you are healed." (Isaiah
53) There is power in the blood of Jesus. As we put our faith in His shed blood, healing
flows. Everyone is hurting somewhere. Healing and wholeness is God's promise for
your spirit, soul, and body. (1 Thessalonians 5:23) Whether you are dealing with
emotional, physical, mental, relational pain, embrace His promise of healing. Jesus is
YOUR Healer, as much as He ever has been. He's the same yesterday, today, and
forever.

The blood frees you from fear. The blood of Jesus is the proof of God's perfect love
for you. There is NO greater love than to offer His blood for us. And this great, perfect
love casts out fear! Cast your care and fear on Him today. His love will bring you peace
today. There is nothing you can do to get God to stop loving you. He loves you with an
everlasting love. It lasts through the storm. It lasts through the midnight hour. It lasts
through the harshest hurt you've ever faced. It's everlasting. Be at peace today.

The blood frees you from the curse. Galatians 3:13 says, that He was "made a curse
for us"— and has redeemed us by His blood. A curse is a continual punishment or
torment for sin. And by His blood, you no longer have to be continually punished with
sin, addictions, sickness, or deficiency of any kind, any longer. All generational curses
must bow to the name of Jesus! That is how powerful the precious blood of Jesus really
is! Let the redeemed of the Lord, say SO!

DAILY DECLARATION:

Father, I thank You that the blood that was shed for me has set me free! I thank You
that because of the blood, I no longer have to be weighed down by grief and sorrow.
Because of the blood, I am free from fear! I am freed from the curse of continual
punishment and torment. I am the head and not the tail, above only and not beneath. I
declare that I walk under the blessing of God. I walk in divine health, I walk in peace, I
walk in victory. I walk in liberty in every area of my life today, In Jesus' Name Amen!

DAY 6: The Blood GIVES You...

The Blood gives you approval/acceptance. “Wherein He has made us ACCEPTED in the
beloved . . . through His blood . . .” (Ephesians 1:6-7) You are NOT rejected today, you are
accepted as His beloved. By His blood, you are not disapproved today, you are approved.
Resist the lying voice of rejection.

The Blood gives you access. You have been given access to the throne of His grace, to the
Holy of Holies, to the very presence of God, at any time and in your time of need, by His
blood. You have been given access to the Father and the barrier has been removed!

The Blood gives you authority! We have authority over the enemy by the blood of the
Lamb! Because of His shed blood, you have authority over ALL the power of the enemy,
over demonic activity, over every weapon formed against you! Your holiness or sinlessness
doesn’t give you this authority. Jesus’ sinlessness and His blood DOES.

The Blood gives you the Anointing! (Lev.8:30) You are not anointed because you are
talented or because of your holiness. You are anointed by the blood of Jesus today! That
anointing specifically removes burdens and destroys yokes! (Isaiah 10:27) Whatever is
burdening you or trying to attach itself to you has lost its power. Declare you are anointed
by His blood today!

The Blood of Jesus gives you your assignment. You were CALLED into your God-given
assignment before the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:4), because the Lamb was slain
before the foundation of the world. (Rev.13:8) NOTHING can separate you from that calling
since it's sealed by His blood.

DAILY DECLARATION:

Father, I thank You that I have been given abundant life through the blood of Jesus. Your
blood gives me acceptance and approval by You! Your blood gives me access TO You at any
time. Your blood gives me authority over all the power of the enemy. I am anointed today
to be free from burdens and walk in my God-given calling and assignment, in Jesus’ Name!

Precious Promises Of The Blood Of Jesus

Day 7 • 1 of 8

Devotional
DAY 7: The Blood of Jesus Gives You an UNBREAKABLE COVENANT!

The Blood established a new, better Covenant. When Jesus spilled all His blood, He
declared IT IS FINISHED. What was finished? These 3 words are translated from one word,
"tetalestai." It means 3 things: The debt has been fully paid. The sentence has been fully
served. And, the victory has been fully won! By Jesus' blood, our debts of sin and its
consequences are fully paid. Our sentence as slaves in bondage to sin and the curse has
been fully served. And the battle over the enemy and his power have been fully conquered.
By Jesus blood, we are NOW more than conquerors. We owe nothing. We are in bondage to
nothing. And we are defeated by nothing! That's what the great hymnist called: power.
power. wonder-working power, in the blood, of the Lamb!

But if that’s not enough . . .

The blood of Jesus establishes for you a new covenant (an unbreakable agreement).
This covenant guarantees God will keep His promises and back YOU up with His
authority. He calls it a new and BETTER covenant in Hebrews. Why? Because the Old
Covenant revealed our sins. The New Covenant REMOVES our sins. The Old Covenant made
us distant from God. The New Covenant brings us NEAR to God. The Old Covenant leaves us
unclean every year. The New Covenant cleanses us FOREVER. The Old Covenant left us sin-
conscious. The New Covenant makes us Son-conscious. We are no longer aliens, strangers
of God’s covenant. His guarantee of His promises is sworn in His blood. Under the Old
Covenant, we were still under the power of the devil. Under the New Covenant, we are over
all the power of the devil! And because of His blood, when God sees you, God sees Jesus!
You are a joint heir with Jesus Christ!

DAILY DECLARATION:

Father, I thank you that because of the blood of Jesus, IT IS FINISHED! My debts are fully
paid. I am now blessed. My sentence is fully served. I am now free, and the victory is fully
won. I am NOW more than a conqueror, in Christ. The blood of Jesus has taken me from the
Old Covenant to the New Covenant. In Christ, my sins are removed. I am brought near to
the Father. I am cleansed forever. I am no longer a stranger to God’s promises, but a son or
daughter—an heir of His promises. I will not be defeated another day of my life, in Jesus’
Name—because of Jesus’ blood! Amen!

God loves you deeply and wants a personal relationship with you!
