OT / Blood

[Guest guest]

THE BLOOD

One night in a church service a young woman

felt the tug of God at her heart. She

responded to God's call and accepted Jesus as

her Lord and Savior.

The young woman had a very rough past,

involving alcohol, drugs, and prostitution.

But, the change in her was evident.

As time went on she became a faithful member

of the church.

She eventually became involved in the

ministry, teaching young children.

It was not very long until this faithful

young woman had caught the eye and he art of

the pastor's son.

The relationship grew and they began to make

wedding plans.

This is when the problems began.

You see, about one half of the church did not

think tha t a wo man with a past such as hers

was suitable for a pastor's son.

The church began to argue and fight about the

matter.

So they decided to have a meeting.

As the people made their arguments and

tensions increased, the meeting was getting

completely out of hand.

The young woman became very upset about all

the things being brought up about her past.

As she began to cry the pastor's son stood to

speak.

He could not bear the pain it was causing his

wife to be.

He began to speak and his statement was this:

'My fiancee's past is not what is

on trial here.

What you are questioning is the

ability of

The blood of Jesus to wash away

sin.

Today you have put the blood of

Jesus on trial.

So, does it wash away sin or not?'

The whole church began to weep as they

realized that th ey had been slandering the

blood of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Too often, even as Christians, we bring up

the past and use it as a weapon against our

brothers and sisters.

Forgiveness is a very foundational part of

the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.

If the blood of Jesus does not cleanse the

other person completely then it cannot

cleanse us completely.

If that is the case, then we are all in a lot

of trouble.

What can wash away my sins?

Nothing b ut the blood of Jesus! End of

case!!!!

'Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall

sustain thee he shall never suffer the

righteous to be moved.' Psalm 55:23

My instructions were to pick four people that

I wanted God to bless and I picked you.

Please pass this to four people you want to

be blessed and a copy back to me.

This prayer is powerful and prayer is one of

the best gifts we receive.

The re is no cost but a lot of re wards, let's

continue to pray for one another.

Here is the prayer:

'Father, I ask you to bless my friends,

relatives and email buddies reading this

right now.

Show them a new revelation of your love and

Power.

Holy Spirit, I ask you to minister to their

spirit at this very moment.

Where there is pain, give them your peace and

mercy.

Where there is self doubt, release a renewed

confidence through your grace.

In Jesus' precious name. Amen !

I know I picked more than four, and you can,

too. (If not, please pick at least one! even

if it the person who sent this to you!)

'Love isn't finding a perfect person......It's seeing an

imperfect person perfectly'
