"I Know It Was the Blood"

Scripture: We have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace. Ephesians 1:7-8

Lyrics: "I know it was the blood, I know it was the blood, I know it was the blood, for me. One day when I was lost, He died up on the cross, and I know it was the blood for me. He's coming back again, He's coming back again. He's coming back again for me! One day when I was lost, He died upon the cross, and I know it was the blood for me."

Devotional: Oh, the power in the blood of Jesus! It cleans us from unrighteousness. It heals. It saves. It delivers. It protects. We can use it to defeat the enemy. They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony. Revelation 12:11 

Let's confess the power of the blood of Jesus over ourselves, our families, our homes, our health. Use it. Believe it. It was shed for us all. 

Prayer: Redeeming Lord, thank You for the power in the blood of Your Son, Jesus. Amen.

"Were You There?"

Scripture: God raised Him up, having freed Him from death, because it was impossible for Him to be held in its power. Acts 2:23-24

Lyrics: "Were you there when they crucified my Lord? Were you there when they crucified my Lord? Oh! Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble. Were you there when they crucified my Lord?"

Devotional: It has been said among Believers in the church body that, if left up to us, we wouldn't have endured what our Savior Jesus did for us. Of course we wouldn't, because we are flesh. There is no way our earthly minds can even comprehend the love He has for us. Let's take time to reflect on the ultimate sacrifices made for us: God giving His only So, and Jesus giving His life. These actions were so that we may be redeemed, follow Him, and live to tell others. He is risen! Hallelujah!

Prayer: Heavenly Father, what love you have for us! May we have the mind to serve you always. Amen.
