Revelation 12:11, NKJV

And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.

It’s easy to live under guilt and condemnation, feeling we’ve made too many mistakes to be forgiven. Our enemy, the accuser of the brethren, will remind you of everything you’ve ever done wrong. Do you think your mistakes are too much for the blood shed by the sinless, spotless, all-powerful Son of God? The blood of the Lamb is the blood that defeated the enemy, it’s the blood that crushed Satan’s head, it’s the blood that took away the keys of death and hell, it’s the blood that makes demons tremble, it’s the blood that caused the earth to shake and the sun refuse to shine. It’s because of the blood of Jesus that the blind wewere healed, the lepers cured, the lady caught in adultery was restored, and the soldiers who crucified Him were forgiven.

No mistake you’ve made is too much for that blood. So shake off the guilt and condemnation and receive His forgiveness and mercy. Because of the blood of Jesus, our sins have been permanently taken away.

Father, thank You for the incredible price that Jesus paid through the shedding of His blood for my sins. Thank You for redeeming me on the cross and for Your promise that my sins have been permanently taken away. I declare that I am forgiven and free from condemnation. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
