1John 1:7-2:2 The blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin. Note that it says sin and not sins. This refers to the sinful nature. But after you have been cleansed from the sinful nature, you should not sin. However, if you sin, you must confess your sins and God will forgive you. The blood of Jesus will continue to cleanse you.

2Corinthians 5:21 Jesus took my sin nature so that I may take on his righteousness. I was a sinner, but now I am the righteousness of God in Christ. God sees me through the blood.


Exodus 12:21-24 The Passover. The blood preserved the Israelites from the destroyer. The blood of Jesus can also protect and preserve you from the destroyer. You need to speak the blood over your house and over the transport you use.


Stay under the blood. Do not move out of the blood. If you stay under the blood, the destroyer cannot destroy you.


Revelation 12:11 The blood of Jesus gives us victory. Satan is afraid of the blood of Jesus.
