His Blood Restores Us

Good evening. Welcome to Voice in the Wilderness. I'm Don Noble of Pure

Heart Ministries, and I welcome you today with exceedingly abundantly and overflowing joy.

Well'ren remind you of the Bible study that I teach every Wednesday night, six

pm at Top Hat Pools and Stoves. The address is twenty two point fifty

eight Main Street, Wheeling. I really encourage you to come to this Bible

study. Many of you are sitting out there in churches and you are not

getting taunt the Word of God. And I'm telling you, I get down

into the scriptures, we get down to the nitty gritty, and I just

want to, you know, invite you. I hope you can come.

We meet every Wednesday. There's sometimes once in a great while when I have

to switch that day, but you know, we meet all summer long.

We meet. I don't take off. So I would really encourage you to

come be with us on Wednesdays at six pm twenty two point fifty eight Main

Street, Wheeling, West Virginia. Tonight's message His Blood restores us as we

approach resurrection Sunday. I will be sharing three messages over the next three weeks.

On the Blood of Jesus. And this is my hope. I'm hoping

that you will have a greater understanding, appreciation, and a sincere desire to

live out these truths in your own life and become well acquainted with the power

that resides in the Blood of Jesus. Yes, there is power in the

Blood of Jesus. You see, most churches in America never teach or preach

about the Blood of Jesus anymore. Oh in the good old days, Oh

yeah, there was a lot of preaching and a lot of teaching about the

Blood of Jesus. But that's all gone away. People don't want to people

want their ears to be tickled pastors, you know, they don't want to

bring up those kind of topics. You know, they just want to make

it easy. So they don't sing songs about the Blood of Jesus anymore.

And therefore most of the churches in America do not operate in the power of

the Holy Spirit. So I want to ask you to think about when is

the last time that you can recall that you were taught or preached to about

the Blood of Jesus. And if you can't answer that question quickly, and

maybe it's time to look for a new church. Okay. Blood is such

an important topic that we read about it in Genesis all the way to the

Book of Revelation. It is critical in the days in which we live to

think correctly. Yes, we have to think correctly about the blood. That's

my reason for teaching on the blood of Jesus. Before Adam became a living

soul, the triun God had blood, yes, blood as the centerpiece for

our redemption. Revelation thirteen eight says this, all who dwell on the earth

will worship him, and him is referring to the Antichrist. So all who

dwell on the earth will worship the Antichrist, whose names have not been written

in the Book of Life. Of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the

world. So we learn in that scripture that the Lamb of God, Jesus

Christ, was slain from the foundation of the world, before there was an

earth and an Adam and an Eve and all of that. John in his

Gospel Chapter one, verse twenty eight states this. It says, the next

day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, behold the Lamb of God,

who takes away the sin of the world, folks, if there is

one topic to study and understand the richness and its supernatural power, it is

the blood of Jesus. We see in Leviticus seventeen eleven. Scripture says,

for the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given

it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls. For it

is the blood that makes atonement for the souls. So if you think about

it, you think about the Old Testament. That's why they were always sacrificing

animals, and that blood was used to atone for the souls of the people

of Israel. When the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground

and breathe into his nostrils the breath of life, man became a living soul.

That's Genesis chapter two, verse seven. And think about this. You

know, sometimes we read scripture and we just kind of flow right past things

and we don't take time to meditate on the scripture or even think about how

does this all work. But the minute that God breathed into Adam, the

minute Adam became a living soul, something happened. Blood immediately began to flow

through Adam's arteries and veins, and it was the blood that gave Adam life.

As as Leviticus seventeen eleven states, we know scientifically that blood carries oxygen.

Breath, we breathe in, we inhale oxygen, and that oxygen that

is carried in the blood to bring vital nutrients and energy to all our vital

organs throughout the body, and it is what sustains life. Blood sustains life.

So the life of the flesh is in the blood. That's a very

key scripture. You should memorize that scripture, for the life of the flesh

is in the blood. Leviticus seventeen eleven. Adam came alive. As soon

as the blood began to flow. His heart actively was pumping oxygenated blood to

every vital organ. So the heart, as soon as the heart began to

beat, see that blood was stagnant for a nanosecond or so, but as

as soon as that blood began to pomp, then blood was being taken to

all the vital organs and throughout the body. God ordained that the life would

be in the blood. Our need for a savior began when Adam and Eve

sinned in the garden. Sin had Now that's sin that they committed disobang what

God had told them not to do and not to eat. From that sin

polluted their blood and death would soon follow. You see, from that first

sin we acquired our sin in nature. So when scripture says we are born

in iniquity and incent, we got that from Adam. We are born into

this world. Every human being born into this world is born with Adam's nature,

and that nature is a corrupt nature. From that first sin, then

is how we got from Adam and Eve's first sin, then we got our

sin nature. Romans three twenty three says all have sinned and fall short of

the glory of God. So as I said, every person born in this

world, every human being is born in into sin and carries Adam's nature,

which is a corrupt nature. Romans five seventeen says, for if by one

man's offense, death reigned through the One, much more those who receive abundance

of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One

Jesus Christ. See, this sin nature meant that every person would from that

point on they'd be born with polluted blood, and that in itself brought a

curse of sickness, mental oppression, fear, anxiety, and all manner of

things the end of me has used to defeat us. I want you to

listen to what scripture says regarding the curses in Genesis three sixteen. And by

the way, I'm reading out of the King James New King James version this

evening, and several scriptures will be from the MeV version, but this is

out of the New King James. To the woman, God said, I

will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception in pain. You shall bring forth

children. Your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over

you. Then to Adam God said this. He said, because you have

heeded the voice of your wife and have eaten from the tree of which I

commanded you, saying you shall not eat of it, then cursed is the

ground for your sake in toil. You shall eat of it all the days

of your life. Both thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you,

and you shall eat the herb of the field. In the sweat of your

face. You shall eat bread till you return to the ground, for out

of it you were taken. For dust you are And to dust, you

shall return now Hebrews chapter nine twenty two, and the be portion of that

verse reads, and without shedding of blood, there is no remission. The

MeV version reads, without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness.

So a blood sacrifice would be necessary to redeem mankind from the curse of sin.

The curse came through Adam, so breaking the curse would require a sinless

man to come and shed his blood as the lamb of God slain before the

foundation of the world. Only only this sinless one could redeem all mankind.

Romans five, verse eighteen out of the me Ev says, through the righteous

act of one came justification of life for all men. And that's why Ezekiel

chapter sixteen and verse six says this. Ezekiel wrote, when I passed by

you and saw you polluted in your own blood, I said to you,

when you were in your blood live. Indeed, I said to you,

when you were in your blood live. I think one of the most important

things we have to remember is that God had already secured provision to give us

life from the foundation of the world, because it was out of God's great

heart and God's great love for us. That he had a place to rescue

us. I mean, excuse me. He had a plan to rescue us,

and it had to do with shedding his own innocimple blood. The price

sin demands is death, its eternal separation from God. And that concept right

there, the price of sin demands is death. The price sin demands is

death, eternal separation from God. But God sent his son Jesus to pay

the sacrifice to redeem us through that unpolluted, sinless shed blood. So when

Jesus shed his blood on the cross, that was that blood was pure sinless.

When Adam and Eves sinned in the garden, there had to be an

act of mercy and blood had to be involved to cover their sin. Genesis

three twenty one says this also for Adam and his wife, the Lord God

made tunics of skin and clothed them so to cover their sin and nakedness.

What did Adam and Eve do? Most of you know this story. They

sewed fig leaves together because they realized once their eyes were open. The scripture

says that they were naked and they were ashamed, so they sewed the fig

leaves together and made themselves a covering. Well, what does that represent It's

a perfect picture of how we think, in our own humanness, we can

fix the problem, and you know, there's nothing new under the sun.

As Solomon said, we still do that today. We think that we have

the strength and the power and the knowledge and we can fix it, and

we can fix all the problems, and we can you know, make it

all right again. That is so far from the truth. See, we

cannot produce righteousness on our own. Amen. We were never intended to atone

for our own sin. And just so you know, a tone means covering,

So we were never meant to atone for our own sin. We can't

and never will and never will we be able to. Never Adam and Eve

couldn't and we can't. So the Lord God what he did. He slew

animals in the garden. He had to shed blood to make tunics of skin

to clothe them. The only thing that was going to redeem Adam and Eve

was that covering of blood. So the first shedding of blood is when God

slew aid those animals to cover Adam and Eve. These animal skins dripping in

blood was a demonstration of the blood covenant that was required for our redemption.

That's our first picture. That's the first thing we learn about. Right in

the right in the beginning of Genesis, we are taught that picture. We

can see that in our minds, and we recognize that without the shedding of

blood, there's no redemption for them. There's no way out for Adam and

Eve. They are going to be stuck in their sin, and they would

have to live in that sin until they physically died, and then would be

separated eternally from God. So that's why they were ushered out of the garden

and God put angels with flaming swords over the entrance to the garden. He

did not want. That was mercy. That was mercy for you and I,

because, as I said, if Adam and Eve Eve had never left

the garden and God had never covered them with blood yikes, we would be

in trouble. So with God's mercy toward Adam and Eve, we would have

had no chance, no chance of obtaining eternal life. And I regard this

as one of the greatest gifts of God's mercy, the mercy of covering them

with those bloody animal skins. And the second act of mercy was to put

the angels with the flaming swords at the entrance to the garden. But see

it didn't end there. The Father sent his son Ge to provide the complete

and forever, once and for all sacrifice with his own blood, to provide

for more than a covering like Adam and Eve. So we didn't just get

covered with jesus blood. No, we were redeemed from the power of sin.

We aren't under the righteousness of God. We are the righteousness of God.

That's pretty profound. We aren't under the righteousness of God, we are

the righteousness of God. So what occurred with Adam and Eve is certainly different

from what gift we got when Jesus shed his own blood. We read a

blood covenant when Jesus died on the cross. That was blood shed by a

sinless individual, an individual who was part of the Godhead, and that was

our blood covenant. He told them at the table, at the Lord's table.

They didn't understand it, but now we understand it. So he restored

us. I'm talking tonight about how the Lord restores us through his blood.

His blood restored us from the law and the Mosaic covenant to an ever lasting

covenant written with his own blood. Where sin can no longer have dominion over

us, and death can no longer have a hold over us. Again,

that's amazing, that is worth shouting about. The new Man has come.

We have been restored back to our heavenly Father. Hallelujah. I want to

conclude with Romans chapter six, and these are powerful scriptures to help you understand

what that Blood Covenant is all about. We're going to start in verse one

Romans chapter six. Paul writes, what shall we say, then, shall

we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly? Not? How shall

we who died to sin live any longer in it? Or do you not

know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ, Jesus were baptized

into his death. Therefore we were buried with him through baptism into death.

That just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father,

even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we

have been united together in the likeness of his death, certainly we also shall

be in the likeness of his resurrection. M This is good, knowing this,

that our old man was crucified with Christ, that the body of sin

might be done away with that we should no longer be slaves of sin,

for he who has died has been freed from sin. Now, if we

died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him, knowing

that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more death no

longer has dominion over him. For the death that he died, he died

to sin once for all, but the life that he lives, he lives

to God. Likewise, you also reckon yourselves to be dead, indeed to

sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord, hoo alilujah.

Therefore, do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should

obey it in its lusts, And do not present your members as instruments of

unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead,

and your memory as instruments of righteousness to God. For sin shall not

have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.

What then shall we sin? Because we are not under law but under grace.

Certainly not, do you not know that to whom you present yourself slaves

to obey, you are that one's slaves whom you obey, whether of sin

leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness. But God be thanked

that though you were slaves of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart that

form of doctrine to which you were delivered, And having been set free from

sin, you became slaves of righteousness. I speak in human terms because of

the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves

of uncleanness and of lawlessness, leading to more lawlessness, so now present your

members as slaves of righteousness for holiness. For when you were slaves of sin,

you were free in regard to righteousness. I'm telling you this is so

good Verse twenty two. But now having been set free from sin and having

become slaves of God, you have your fruit to holiness and the end,

ever lasting life. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift

of God is eternal life in Christ. Jesus our Lord, Oh my goodness,

that is good stuff. You should take a moment, not just a

moment. You should read over those scriptures and read over those scriptures and chew

on those scriptures until you understand what Christ did for you and I. It's

the blood. It's not just a blood or the blood. It's Jesus blood

that restored us back to the Father and gave us eternal life. Amen.
