A Divine Mission
God sent Jesus to Earth on a divine mission;
and through the powers of divine
blood, He was going to bridge the gulf
between God and the human race that was
created by sin and iniquity. But your iniquities
have separated between you and
your God, and your sins have hid his face
from you, that he will not hear (Isaiah
59:2).
Jesus would become God’s sacrificial
Lamb, and He would provide atonement
for all the sins of the human race. The
next day John seeth Jesus coming unto
him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God,
which taketh away the sin of the world
(John 1:29).
Isaiah prophesied of this great sacrifice
for the human race hundreds of years
before it actually happened. But he was
wounded for our transgressions, he was
bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement
of our peace was upon him; and
with his stripes we are healed. All we like
sheep have gone astray; we have turned
every one to his own way; and the LORD
hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. He
was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet
he opened not his mouth: he is brought
as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a
sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he
openeth not his mouth (Isaiah 53:5–7).
Joint-Heirs with Christ
Jesus sacrificed His divine blood on the
Cross of Calvary; and because of that sacrifice,
the human race would have the opportunity
to receive eternal life and be adopted
into the family of God. The Spirit itself
beareth witness with our spirit, that we
are the children of God: And if children,
then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs
with Christ (Romans 8:16,17).
Being an heir of God and a joint-heir
with Christ means we are given the same
opportunities and privileges of using the
powers of divine blood that Jesus had when
He was on Earth. Therefore, as children of
God, it is our right, our divine heritage and
our responsibility before God to use the
powers of the divine blood to please the
heavenly Father and to help and bless others
in need.
Jesus Used the Blood
Jesus brought divine blood to set us free,
and He showed us the benefits of it and
how to use it. For example, before Jesus
started His ministry, He was filled with the
Holy Ghost; and the heavenly Father made
known how pleased He was with that. And
the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily
shape like a dove upon him, and a voice
came from heaven, which said, Thou art
my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased
(Luke 3:22).
Then Jesus went into the wilderness and
fasted for 40 days. And Jesus being full
of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan,
and was led by the Spirit into the
wilderness, Being forty days tempted of
the devil. And in those days he did eat
nothing: and when they were ended, he
afterward hungered (Luke 4:1,2). Jesus
was tempted of Satan, but He was victorious
through the powers of the divine blood
in Him. His flesh was under submission
to divinity, so Satan had nothing to work
with.
Then in the power of the Holy Spirit,
Jesus came out of the wilderness an
anointed, yielded vessel; and He cried with
a loud voice, The Spirit of the Lord is
upon me, because he hath anointed me
to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath
sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to
preach deliverance to the captives, and
recovering of sight to the blind, to set at
liberty them that are bruised, To preach
the acceptable year of the Lord (Luke
4:18,19). Jesus was ready for the Holy Spirit
in Him to operate the powers of the divine
blood through Him to help and bless people
in need.
The power of the divine blood was put on
display again and again in the ministry of
