THE BLOOD PURGES.
The blood of Jesus is the instrument for purging the inside of man, which is the platform for the operation of every evil. From within the heart proceed adultery, malice, fornication, stealing, strife, anger, and the likes. But the blood of Jesus has the power to make your mind infertile to evil thoughts.
“For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:
How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?” Hebrews 9:13-14
No technique of life can handle the conscience. You must keep sprinkling your heart with the blood of Jesus, that you might be purged of every evil work. Man cannot get to his conscience to correct it. But God has devised a means to get across to your inside, so that your outside can be clean also. Mark 7:18-20, tells us that it is not what enters into a man that defiles him but, “That which cometh out of the man…”
If you cannot stop the thoughts, you cannot stop the action! So we need to get to where the thoughts are cultivated and devastate the place, then you need not worry about the acts anymore, because man’s defiling is a product of his thoughts. His thoughts set the pace for his pollution and corruption, and a man has no power over his thoughts. So he needs to get what God has provided to rout the thoughts, where the evils are manufactured.
“And having an high priest over the house of God; Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.” Hebrews 10:21-22
The Word can wash the body, only the blood can purge the conscience. That is, whatever your body is required to do, the Word can provide the grace to do it, but when it is the conscience, the blood is required…
