As a pastor and deliverance minister, I’ve witnessed countless lives transformed by the power of Jesus Christ. Today, I want to share with you a powerful message about the blood of Jesus and how it can break demonic curses in your life. This teaching is based on a recent sermon I delivered, and I believe it will revolutionize your understanding of spiritual warfare and deliverance.
The Spiritual Battle We Face
Before we dive into the specifics of how the blood of Jesus breaks curses, it’s crucial to understand the nature of the spiritual battle we’re engaged in. Ephesians 6:12 reminds us that “we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”
This battle is real, and it’s happening all around us. The enemy is constantly seeking to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). But here’s the good news: Jesus has already won the victory on the cross, and His blood is the key to our freedom.
The Seven Sheddings of Jesus’ Blood
In the Old Testament, we see that the blood of sacrificial animals was sprinkled seven different ways. This foreshadowed the perfect sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Let’s explore the seven ways Jesus shed His blood and how each one brings freedom and deliverance:
1. Gethsemane: Freedom from Anxiety and Fear
In Luke 22:44, we read that Jesus sweat drops of blood in the Garden of Gethsemane. This represents His internal struggle and the immense pressure He faced. When we apply the blood of Jesus to our minds, we can find freedom from anxiety, fear, and mental torment.
Prayer point: Place your hand on your mind and declare, “Anxiety, go in Jesus’ name. Fear, loose my mind in Jesus’ name. I plead the blood over my mind.”
2. The Crown of Thorns: Complete Mental Freedom
Matthew 27:29 describes how a crown of thorns was placed on Jesus’ head. This caused His blood to flow 360 degrees around His head, symbolizing complete mental freedom. No area of your mind is beyond the reach of Christ’s healing power.
Declare: “I receive complete mental freedom through the blood of Jesus.”
3. The High Priest’s House: Healing from Church Hurt
In Mark 14:65, we see Jesus bleeding at the high priest’s house. This provision addresses the pain and hurt many have experienced within the church. If you’ve been wounded by leaders or fellow believers, know that Jesus made a way for your healing.
Prayer: “Lord, I release forgiveness for those who have hurt me in the church. I receive your healing for church hurt.”
4. The Plucking of His Beard: Strength to Endure Rejection
Isaiah 50:6 prophesied that the Messiah’s beard would be plucked out. This painful experience represents the rejection Jesus faced. Through His blood, we can find the strength to endure rejection and remain faithful to our calling.
Declare: “I am unoffendable because I am crucified with Christ. Rejection has no power over me.”
5. Scourging by Pilate: Freedom in the Political Arena
John 19:1 recounts how Jesus was scourged by Pilate, a political leader. This shedding of blood provides us with favor and freedom in the realm of government and politics. We can influence our society for God’s kingdom.
Prayer: “Lord, give me favor with leaders and authorities. Use me to bring Your kingdom influence into the political sphere.”
6. Nails in His Hands and Feet: Redemption of Our Actions
Psalm 22:16 prophetically describes the piercing of Jesus’ hands and feet. This blood redemption transforms our actions. What was once used for sin can now be used for God’s glory.
Declare: “My hands and feet are redeemed by the blood of Jesus. I use them to advance God’s kingdom.”
7. The Spear in His Side: Continual Cleansing and Renewal
John 19:34 tells us that blood and water flowed from Jesus’ side when pierced with a spear. This dual flow represents both permanent cleansing (blood) and daily renewal (water). We can walk in purity and freshness every day.
Prayer: “Thank You, Jesus, for Your blood that cleanses me once and for all, and for Your Spirit that renews me daily.”
Breaking the Power of Addiction and Demonic Bondage
One of the most powerful moments in our service came when people began bringing forward their drugs, alcohol, and paraphernalia. This act of surrender opened the door for true deliverance. If you’re struggling with addiction, know that the blood of Jesus is more powerful than any substance or demonic stronghold.
Key truth: The blood of Jesus provides a greater “high” than any counterfeit comfort the enemy offers.
Steps to Freedom:
1. Acknowledge your need for deliverance
2. Surrender the addictive substances or behaviors to God
3. Renounce any agreements made with the enemy
4. Receive the cleansing power of Jesus’ blood
5. Walk in the newfound freedom, relying on the Holy Spirit’s strength
The Importance of Forgiveness in Deliverance
Unforgiveness is one of the main footholds the enemy uses to maintain control in our lives. Jesus’ blood provides the power to forgive even the deepest hurts and offenses. When we forgive, we break the chains that bind us to our past and open the door for complete deliverance.
Prayer for forgiveness: “Lord, I choose to forgive (name the person) for (specific offense). I release them and myself from the bondage of unforgiveness. I receive Your forgiveness and healing in exchange.”
Activating the Gifts of the Spirit
As we experience deliverance and freedom through the blood of Jesus, we’re also empowered to walk in the gifts of the Spirit. The same power that breaks chains also equips us for ministry. Here are some of the gifts mentioned in 1 Corinthians 12:
– Prophecy
– Healing
– Words of wisdom and knowledge
– Discerning of spirits
– Speaking in tongues
– Interpretation of tongues
If you haven’t received the baptism of the Holy Spirit or the gift of tongues, simply ask God to fill you afresh. Open your mouth in faith and begin to speak, trusting that the Holy Spirit will give you utterance.
Testimonies of Healing and Deliverance
Throughout our service, we witnessed numerous healings and deliverances. People were set free from chronic illnesses, addictions, and demonic oppression. Here are a few examples:
– Neuropathy healed
– Tumors and cysts dissolved
– Mental health conditions improved
– Addictions broken instantly
Remember, these miracles aren’t limited to a church service. The same power is available to you right now as you read this blog post. Reach out in faith and receive your healing and deliverance.
The Power of Agreement in Prayer
One powerful moment in our service was when we had people FaceTime their sick friends and family members. We joined our faith together and prayed for healing, even for those who weren’t physically present. This demonstrates the power of agreement in prayer (Matthew 18:19-20).
Action step: Find a prayer partner or join a prayer group to increase your faith and effectiveness in intercession.
Becoming a Vessel for God’s Power
As we conclude, I want to emphasize that God is calling you to be more than just a recipient of His power. He wants to use you as a vessel to bring deliverance and healing to others. Here are some steps to prepare yourself:
1. Stay filled with the Holy Spirit through prayer and worship
2. Study and meditate on God’s Word
3. Practice using the gifts of the Spirit
4. Be willing to step out in faith and minister to others
5. Maintain a lifestyle of holiness and surrender
Conclusion: Walking in Freedom and Power
The blood of Jesus is our ultimate weapon against the enemy’s schemes. Through His seven-fold shedding of blood, we have access to complete freedom and victory in every area of life. As you apply these truths and walk in the power of the Holy Spirit, you’ll experience a new level of authority and effectiveness in spiritual warfare.
Remember, the same Jesus who set captives free 2,000 years ago is alive and active today. His blood has not lost its power. Whether you need deliverance from addiction, healing from sickness, or activation in the gifts of the Spirit, it’s all available to you through the precious blood of Jesus Christ.
I encourage you to take some time now to reflect on what you’ve read. Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal any areas where you need to apply the blood of Jesus. Then, step out in faith and begin to walk in the freedom and power that is rightfully yours as a child of God.
Let’s pray:
“Heavenly Father, thank You for the powerful blood of Jesus that cleanses, delivers, and empowers us. I apply the blood of Jesus to every area of my life right now. Break every chain, heal every wound, and activate Your gifts within me. I choose to walk in freedom and authority, bringing Your kingdom wherever I go. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
Now, go forth in the power of the Holy Spirit, knowing that you are covered by the blood of Jesus. The enemy is under your feet, and greater things are yet to come!
