Introduction.
Understanding who we are in Christ Jesus and the power we possess in Him, our Lord, is essential for us as Believers. This enables us to inherit and manage our inheritance as God's children and live the life that Christ calls us to live here on earth.
When you hear about Christians talking about the power that’s in the Blood of Jesus, we’re referring to the blood that Jesus shed on Calvary’s cross during His crucifixion. In the Old Testament, we found out that the blood speaks from the ground when Cain slew Abel. See Genesis 4:10. The blood of Abel was crying out from the ground for vengeance. After Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection, the blood gave us salvation, freedom from sin, healing and many more blessings.
Benefits of the Blood.
How much more does the blood of Jesus still speak today if Abel's blood spoke and God heard it? Jesus Christ's blood serves as proof in the heavenly courts that it is the ultimate and total atonement for all of humanity's sins. When Christians invoke the power of the Blood of Jesus, they instantaneously eradicate any adversary forces attempting to attack them.
There could be hundreds of benefits that we have in the redeeming power of the Blood of Jesus, but we’ll focus on six benefits here.
1. Accepted into the Family of God. Accepted in the Beloved. Transferred Kingdoms. Ephesians 1:5, Romans 8:15, Romans 8:23, John 1:12., 1 John 3:2
2. Forgiven and Set Free: Redeemed, Delivered. Galatians 4:4, 5, Galatians 5:1, Romans 8:1, 2, Ephesians 4:32, Colossians 3:13
3. We’re Cleansed. New Regenerated Spirit – Born Again. Romans 5:9, Colossians 1:20, Hebrews 9:14, Hebrews 13:12, 1 John 1:7
4. Protection: Sealed by the Holy Ghost. Psalm 107:2, Romans 5:9, Ephesians 4:30, Hebrews 9:12, Revelation 5:9, Revelation 12:11
5. Authority: Boldness and Aid of the Holy Ghost. Luke 10:19, Mark 16:17, Ephesians 6:10, 1 John 5:4
6. Overcomer: Given Power Over All Enemy Forces. John 16:33, 17:1 to 26, 1 John 2:13, 14, 1 John 5:5
How to Invoke the Power of the Blood
• To utilize the Blood of Jesus, we should be authorized or have the divine permission. This is only possible when we enter into the family of God and His blood Covenant by accepting Jesus’ sacrifice on the Cross for all of mankind’s sin. Receiving Jesus Christ as Savior is Step Number 1. We should then go on to study and understand our Covenant blessings and responsibilities. See Matthew 28:18,19, Luke 10:19, Ephesians 1:20, 21, Ephesians 2:6 and Philippians 2:10.
• Emphatically proclaim the Blood of Jesus Christ in opposition to satanic forces. I Plead the Blood of Jesus is a spiritual term used against the powers of darkness. It is not an exact quote from the Bible, but inferred based on the following:
“The Significance of Blood in the Bible
The importance of blood in the Bible is established from the earliest scriptures. Blood is often associated with life and atonement for sin.
Old Testament Foundations
In the Old Testament, blood sacrifices were central to the Mosaic Law. Leviticus 17:11 explains, “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 soul.” This principle established the foundational concept that blood is required for the atonement of sin.
The Concept of “Pleading the Blood”
While the phrase “pleading the blood of Jesus” is not found in the Bible, its practice is inferred from the powerful and protective nature of Jesus’ blood as demonstrated in scripture. Pleading the blood is essentially invoking the power and protection of Jesus’ sacrificial blood in various aspects of life.” (BibleAsk.org)

Summary.
Although Pleading the Blood is not a phrase found in the Word, it is based on Scriptural principles.
If Abel’s blood spoke and God heard it, which it did, how much more does the blood of Jesus speak still to this day? The Blood of Jesus Christ is evidenced in the Bible and the Courts of heaven that His blood sacrifice is the final and complete sacrifice for the sins of all mankind. When Believers use the Blood of Jesus by invoking the power of the Blood, it instantly nullifies enemy forces who are trying to assail themselves against you.

Blood of Jesus Christ Prayer
Heavenly Jehovah,
We praise You for sending your Son, Jesus Christ, to dwell among us. The blood He shed on Calvary’s cross purchased our freedom, for which we are eternally grateful. The Word says, “Who the Son sets free is free indeed.” John 8:36. The Bible says, Let the redeemed of the Lord say so.” Psalm 107:2. We are the redeemed of the Lord. We’ve been purchased with the shed blood of Jesus Christ. We repent of all of our sins and align ourselves with your will.
This is the Blessing I decree Over You:
We nullify and render void every word we have spoken that goes against the blessings You have established for our lives. The powers of darkness have no legal authority in our lives, thoughts, bodies, or our finances. We bind all hindering spirits through Jesus’ name and the power of the Blood of Jesus Christ.
We denounce and renounce all open and hidden works of darkness and anything that would try to oppress or hinder us from achieving our godly desires and experiencing supernatural victory in all areas of our lives.
We apply the blood of Jesus to our lives and plead the blood of Jesus against all evil spirits, forces of darkness and strategies. We destroy all spiritual devices that have been sent to hinder our successful advancement.
Decrees You Personally Make Because You Trust and Stand on the Word:
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. I magnify You that I’m a new creature in Christ. 2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV
I am a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that I should show forth the praises of Him who hath called me out of darkness into His marvellous light. 1 Peter 2:9
13 Christ has redeemed me from the curse of the law, having become a curse for me (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”), 14 that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, so that I receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. Galatians 3:13, 14. Note: italics reflect paraphrase based on the NKJV
26b He came to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself. 27 And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment, 28 so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of me. I believe for those like me who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation. Hebrews 9:26 to 28. Note: italics reflect paraphrase based on the NKJV
We praise You God for always hearing us when we pray. We honor You for speedily and constantly moving on our behalf to cause victory in all areas of our lives. We receive your supernatural and divine direction for all of these prayers and decrees.
We magnify You for your love and kindness in the matchless name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
