Hope Has a Name: His Name Is JesusPrøve

[IMAGE CONTENT] ### The Blood of the Lamb Brings Hope They now use sheep's blood to produce antivenom for various snake bites. You see, the lamb's blood causes the poison that the snake injects into its victim to have no deadly power. Let's say a farmer has a lamb bitten in the face by a snake. The lamb's face will swell up, but he will experience no lethal consequences because its blood will begin to produce what is needed to overcome the snake's bite. The blood of the lamb essentially makes the bite of the snake powerless. Satan injected sin into the world in the Garden of Eden. He attempted to steal all joy and hope from humanity through his lies of deception and his tactics of temptation. But remember what John the Baptist said as Jesus traversed the rugged pathway along the Jordan River, "Look, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!" Soon after, Jesus was baptized, the hope of humanity sprung up from the waters of the Jordan and splashed into our world. Then, Jesus was taken into the wilderness, and the devil's temptations tested that hope. Our lives can take similar paths from victory to defeat, and hopefulness to despair. It is part of the human condition to undulate like waves, up and down throughout our lives. But in the lowest of times, when we apply the blood of Jesus, the precious Lamb of God, to our circumstances, through grace and faith, we can overcome both sin and Satan, and our joy and hope are miraculously restored. What poison is coming against you? What sin has bitten you and won't let go? What sickness is overtaking you? What pain is trying to take you down? What circumstance is trying to steal your hope? The devil, that Serpent of Old, will sneak into the safety of your garden and clasp his fangs into your skin, injecting you with his venom that seeks to kill, steal, and destroy. But oh, the blood of Jesus! What a beautiful flow that washes away all the consequences of our sin. In the name of Jesus, apply the blood of the Lamb into your wound and watch as it supernaturally begins to heal. We cannot save ourselves from sickness, pain, depression, confusion, or sin. Only the blood of Jesus saves us from it all! When you feel overwhelmed and reeled from an unexpected bite of the enemy, know that the Lamb can reverse and cancel all the enemy's evil schemes. There is healing power in the blood!
