The Blood Transports
Listen
Good morning and greetings in Jesus name. Welcome to this beautiful new day.
We are blessed to be walking with the Lord every day, every morning, every evening, every season of our life here on earth, which is a blessing we have. It is amazing that God is continuously pouring into us, giving us access, grace and wisdom every season of our life. I hope that we are not taking this for granted. But we should make use of this opportunity by depending on Him, walking with Him, by making sure that our hearts becomes one with His. Every morning and every evening make sure you pour your hearts to Him.
The bible says in Ephesians 2: 13, “But now you have been united with Christ Jesus.”
He is speaking this in reference to what you were once upon a time. Once upon a time, you were excluded, alienated, you were ignorant, you had no idea who God is and what God wants to do in your life. But now if you have trusted in Jesus, you have been united with Jesus, you are made one, you are now intimate with Christ Jesus. Every day we have here on earth, we have to live it out as an expression of our intimacy with Jesus, an expression of how much you and I, are one with Him, how much we are united with Him, how much we can represent Him here on earth and how much when we stand before God the Father that we talk and look and behave like Jesus, because that is our spiritual reality and identity that we have been united with Christ Jesus.
The next statement says, “Once you were far away from God, but now you have been brought near to him through the blood of Christ.”
The blood of Jesus is an accelerator. It transports you from far away from God to near God. The blood of Jesus is what makes you from the dimension of sin, brokenness, failure, sickness and self-dependency to a dimension where you are now depending on God, you have access to His presence, where you are now allowing brokenness to be healed, where you are allowing His presence to change you, where you are allowing Him to speak to you and mould you. It is the blood of Jesus Christ that brings you to this dimension. Everything else that we depend on to have access is all in vain.
This morning pay attention to this word. Bible says, your faraway state has now been changed to now near to God state and it purely because of the blood of Christ. Can we elevate the importance of the blood of Jesus in our life? How much importance do we give to our righteousness, our work, our ministry, what we have done for the Lord? Here the Lord is saying, it is not what you have done that has brought you near to me, but what I have done for you!
You constantly need to draw near, because you are aware of your identity, you are aware of your place in the Spirit realm. You need to continue to come closer every passing day. But you need to understand that it is not your wisdom, work or anointing that has brought you thus far.
If you and I, can continually make it a practice to depend on the blood of Christ, the precious blood of Jesus that makes a way for the nearness of Father, nearness with the Holy, nearness with the Lover of our soul.
Will you depend on this pure blood today!

Feel For Him
Acts 17:27 (GNT)
He did this so that they would look for him, and perhaps find him as they felt around for him. Yet God is actually not far from any one of us.
Lock the Door
Matthew 23:13 (GNT)
““How terrible for you, teachers of the Law and Pharisees! You hypocrites! You lock the door to the Kingdom of heaven in people’s faces, but you yourselves don’t go in, nor do you allow in those who are trying to enter!”
Psalm 147:2–3 reveals God's heart as a Restorer rather than a Punisher. Although Israel went into exile because of its own rebellion, God did not abandon His people. Instead, He promised to restore Jerusalem, bring the exiles home, heal the brokenhearted, and bind up their wounds.
The message reminds us that while God may use friends, pastors, counselors, or loved ones to help us, true healing and restoration ultimately come from the Lord. His restoration reaches every part of our lives—our hearts, relationships, health, finances, emotions, and spiritual walk.
God knows every wound, including those hidden from others. Unlike people, who can only comfort from the outside, He sees the deepest parts of our hearts and heals completely. His healing is so complete that even the scars of past pain lose their power to define us.
The devotion encourages believers to fix their eyes on God instead of relying solely on human help. No matter how far someone has drifted, how many mistakes they have made, or how broken they feel, God is still calling them back. His desire is to restore, heal, and make all things beautiful in His perfect timing.
