Sermon Tone Analysis

We’re going to pick up where we *left off last week* in our teaching on *“The Blood and the Glory”*, but *before we do* I need to *go back in cover a few things we said last week*.

*Last week’s t*ape, which is going into a tape series *did not turn out*.

So, I need to cover a few things we said last week.

*I) **(Psalms 107:2)* says, *“Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy.”*

*A) **(Galatians 3:13-14)* tells us what we are redeemed from.

It says, *“Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: **(14)** That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.”*

*1) *According to *(Deuteronomy 28)* the *curse of the law* *is* *“POVERTY, SICKNESS, AND DEATH.”*

*(a) **Not only are we redeemed from the curse*, *but we are also redeemed so that we can receive* *the blessings of Abraham*.

(Galatians 3:14).

*(b) **What are* the *blessings of Abraham?* *Prosperity, health, and justification.*

*(c) **©All this came through* *the redemptive work of the Lord Jesus Christ.*

*(d) *(*1st Peter 1:18-19*) says, *“Forasmuch as ye know that ye were **not redeemed with corruptible things*, *as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; 19But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.”*

*(i) *Our *redemption* *and* *salvation* *did not come by* *silver and gold*.

It did *not* come *by* *how much* we *put in the offering* place it *did not come by* *how good we are* and it *did not come by* all our *good works*.

*(ii) **(Ephesians 2:8-9)* says, *“For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves it is the gift of God.

Not of works, lest any man should boast.”*

*(iii) **Salvation and justification comes through faith alone, *faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

*B) **Back in our opening verse* (*Psalms 107:2*), which says, *“Let the redeemed of the Lord say so.”*

*1) **We are to say something*, *we are to say that we are redeemed*, *but redeemed from what*, *“THE CURSE.”*

*And HOW?* *BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS.*

*2) **What are we to say?* *“I am redeemed from the curse by the blood of Jesus.”*

*(a) **THIS IS PLEADING THE BLOOD OF JESUS.*

*II) **The old-timers in Pentecost had such success in claiming, pleading, and applying the blood of Jesus.*

*HOW DID THEY DO IT?*

*A) **Well*, there was a *prerequisite* *common to all of them*.

*1) **1st*, they have *strong faith in the blood*.

*2) **2nd*, *they believed* that *they had the right to use the power in the blood by faith.*

*3) *And *3rd*, *they recognize* *they needed to operate from a cleansed position.*

*B) **(Romans 3:24-25).*

Says, *“Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 25Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood…”*

*1) **We have redemption*, *which means* *REDEEMED FROM POVERTY*, *SICKNESS*, *AND SPIRITUAL DEATH* *THROUGH FAITH IN HIS BLOOD*.

*2) **(Hebrews 11:28)* says, *“Through faith he (Moses) kept the Passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them.”*

*(a) **Here it says that Moses kept the Passover by faith,* *but it also says* that *he applied the blood by faith* *for* divine *protection*.

*3) **(1st Peter 1:2)* from the *Amplified translation* says, *“Who were chosen and foreknown by God the Father and consecrated (sanctified, made holy) by the Spirit to be obedient to Jesus Christ (the Messiah) and to be sprinkled with [His] blood.”*

*(a) *Notice that *they were saved* or sanctified *by the Spirit* to the obedience to Jesus Christ *AND* *to be sprinkled with His blood*.

*(i) **They knew exactly what the phrase* *“Sprinkling of the blood”* *meant*.

*(ii) **The blood of an animal could not just be slain and that’s blood poured out.*

*There has to be a sprinkling of the blood or it was of none affect.*

*(iii) **In other words*, *the blood had to be applied to be effective,* *just as it had to be applied to the doorpost when Israel was still in Egypt.*

*(b) *In *(Exodus 24:8)* *Moses took the blood and sprinkled it on the people* *and said*, *“Behold the blood of the covenant, which the Lord has made with you.”*

*C) *In *(Revelation12:11)* it says, *“And they overcame him by the Blood of the Lamb, and by the Word of their testimony…”*

*1) **Apply to blood by faith* *and sprinkle it anywhere there is evidence of pressure*, *tension* *or any kind of Satanic effort to overthrow the Will of God*.

*III) **(1st Peter 5:8-9*) says, *“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: 9Whom resist steadfast in the faith…”*

*A) **(James 4:7)* says basically the *same thing*, *“Resist the Devil and he will flee.”*

*1) **When the devil comes in* *with* his *attacks*, *tests*, and *trials* *we can resist him* *by holding the blood of Jesus against him* *in faith* *until he flees* *and we see the vi*ctory.

*2) **Don’t give up*.

(*Galatians 6:9*) *says*, *“Let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faith not.”*

*(a) **Use the bl*ood of Jesus *in every area* *that you have* any *authority* in,* like in your life*, *in the lives of your children*; *for employers*, *in the lives of their employees*; *for Pastors*, *in the lives of their flock*, *any stronghold of Satan can be destroyed by holding the blood of Jesus upon it.*

*3) **Parents* *use the blood of Jesus against the demon of drugs* *or whatever* *and* *hold the blood of Jesus against that demonic activity until he flees.*

*(a) **Rise up and say*, *“In the name of Jesus I hold the blood of Jesus against you demons of drugs or whatever.

Jesus defeated you and now in his name I hold his blood against you and you have to flee.”*

*(b) **Applied the blood in faith*.

*B) **The old-timers did it* *to gain the victory* *and* *you can do it* *because it’s the Word of God*.

*IV) **God’s Word COMMANDS us* *to overcome evil*.

(Romans 12:21).

*A) **God’s Word also COMMENDS those* *who overcome the wicked one*.

(1st John 2:13-14; 4:4; 5:4-5).

*1) **God’s Word gives us* *authority*, *weapons*, *and tells us exactly how to overcome*.

*2) **And God’s Word promises* *eternal rewards for being overcomers.*

*(a) **The promises to the overcomer* in the *beginning* chapters of the book of *Revelation are amazing*.

*(i) *Let’s just *look at one of them* *Revelation 3:21.*

*(b) *And let’s *look at one of the last ones* *Revelation 21:6-7.*

*3) **So let’s be an overcomer*.

*We overcome Satan by the blood of the Lamb* *and by the Word of our testimo*ny.

*V) *In the next few minutes, *I* just *want to touch on* *THE GLORY AND THE OUTPOURING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.*

*A) **The blood of Jesus redeems us* *from* the hand of the *enemy* *and* *from* the *curse* of the law.

*1) **God wants us to know the power of this truth* *and* *to begin to use the blood* *more than ever* *in these last day*s.

*2) **But there is a last day application* *of the blood* of Jesus that *God wants us to know*.

*And it involves the glory*.

*It involves what we are redeemed to*.

*(a) **Galatians 3:13-14*.

*(i) **Redeemed is the blood Word*.

*(ii) **One of the most glorious parts* *of our redemption* by the blood *is* *“THAT WE MIGHT RECEIVE THE PROMISE OF THE SPIRIT.”*

¨ *Now that covers a vast area* which I don’t have time to cover in this message or even in this series, but one area that I want to look at that this *includes* is *“THE SPIRIT OF GLORY.”*

¨ *The Spirit of glory* *is to be revealed in the last days* *but the Blood plays a very important role* in its manifestation among us.

*B) *Look at *1st Peter 4:14*.

*1) **The Bible calls the* *Holy Spirit* *“The Spirit of Glory.”*

*(a) **(Romans 8:11)* *tells us that Jesus was raised from the dead by the Spirit.*

*(b) *And in *(Romans 6:4*) it *says* that, *“Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father.”*

*(c) **©The manifestation of God’s glory in the Church* *will be a revelation of the Spirit of God in a degree the church has never known.*

*(d) **IT WILL BE THE 3RD AND LAST GREAT OUTPOURING OF THE SPIRIT, WHICH THE BIBLE PROPHESIES.*

*(e) **Next week will begin to look at these prophecies in the Word of God* *and see* *to some degree* ho*w great this outpouring is going to be.* *The world has never seen anything like it yet*, *but in the Word of God* *we can see what it will be like*.

*(f) **You could say it like th*is; *the Church is pregnant* *and* *it is about ready to give birth to the greatest outpouring of the Holy Spirit the earth is ever seen.*

*(i) **But before that birth comes*, *labor has to take place;* *much pain*, *and travail and sighing and weeping* *in prayer*, *intercessory prayer* *crying out for the outpouring of God’s glory has to come first.*

*(ii) **But I’ll tell you this* *even though prayer and intercessory prayer is tough work*.

*Getting people together to come and pray is hard,* *but in these last days you’re going to see the Spirit of prayer* *and the burden to pray* *greater than ever before.*

*(iii) **Just as when a woman is pregnant* *travail comes automatically* *whether she wants to do it or not.*

*The Spirit of prayer is going to fall upon the Church* *whether we want to do it or not.*

*And that prayer* *that travail* *is going to give birth to the greatest outpouring of God’s glory ever seen on this earth.*
