5.0 out of 5 stars Enlightening and Empowering, March 29, 2002

This review is from: The Power of the Blood of Jesus (Paperback)

Until reading this book I did not believe in pleading the blood of Jesus. I guess I thought to do so would be tantamont to engaging in a practice that was nothing short of evil. You are thought to fear the sight of blood as it represents likely death, black magic or doom.

Having read and having experienced an outpouring of the blood of Jesus in my life and that of my family I am indeed enlightened and empowered. Today I boldly claim the gifts, blessings and mercy that God has promised and have bestowed onto me. Today, I can claim my rightful inheritance as a child of the king of Kings.

The author does a wonderful job introducing the subject matter and in confirming its biblical autenticity from the Old Testement to the new Testement age. He removes the veils and misconceptions surrounding the practice and the need to plead the blood of Jesus on ourselves,our family, our possessions and even our vehicles and pets. This book is a "must have" for all believers in the Almighty GOD and the gift of deliverence and salvation through Christ.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Centrality of the Blood of Jesus, November 21, 2000

This review is from: The Power of the Blood of Jesus (Paperback)

In a day when the blood of Jesus is being removed from the very translation of the Bible itself, when the mention of the blood of Jesus is considered offensive even in the churches, this book and Murray's other, "The Blood of the Cross," are God-sends for those who are willing to accept the ways of God without cringing. Though the blood of Jesus is not in any way magical, it is nonetheless crucial and foundational to receiving ANY benefit whatsoever from God. If one could list all the spiritual blessings in the heavenlies in Christ Jesus (Eph. 1:3), and then search out the sole reason why these benefits are available to born-again Christians, and only to born-again Christians, they would find that every single one without exception is only available because of the shed blood of Christ. Murray clearly shows this truth in his books and mentions over a hundred benefits (between the 2 books) that are only available by Jesus Christ's shed blood. If you want to get back to true biblical Christianity, you must get back to the centrality of the precious blood of Jesus. Otherwise, you have no source of heavenly, spiritual, benefits from God, inlcuding salvation itself. Hebrews says, "Without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sin." Murray shows clearly that within that statement is included ALL the resulting benefits of forgiveness, as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Milk has no blood -- but meat does!, November 22, 2004

By 

Paul West "Pablo" (San Marcos, Texas) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Power of the Blood of Jesus (Paperback)

This was the book the Lord led me to when I expressed a desire for complete surrender. The cleansing, the power, the sanctification -- God is showing me that everything I need for victory is in the Blood of Jesus.

If Christians would just learn about the power in the Blood, we would never look to anyone but Jesus Christ. We would have joy and victory even during trials and storms in life. We would never backslide as long as we meditate on God's law day and night and abide beneath the fountain of blood.

I am coming to believe that the blood of Jesus Christ is the most powerful, yet misunderstood resource God has given us. If I could just learn how to pray without ceasing and appropriate the power of the blood, I could truly do all things through Christ. Christians are weak because we substitute Sunday and Wednesday church services for intense daily prayer, fasting, travailing, and learning how to use Jesus' shed blood to enter into the holiest of holies.

Oh, the resources we willfully ignore! Get this book! Discipline yourself to surrender totally unto God and ask Christ to teach you the power inherent in His blood. This book is deep -- very deep and very true. In fact, it is a big, juicy T-bone steak. Can we properly digest it, or is meat too strong for our tummies? Too much milk weakens the stomach, I think.

Andrew Murray has written a tremendous discourse on the blood. He has done the Body of Christ a great service, and I thank God for the old-school preachers. People get grossed out when you talk about the blood. Nothing has changed in the last 2,000 years. The truth is, there's nothing gross about this -- it's meat, pure and simple.

Would be to God that Christians would grow up, get out of their theological playpens and denominational frameworks and learn about the blood and apply it their lives.

Enough pleading the blood; let's drink it!
