Question: Pleading the Blood of Jesus

[C.I. Scofield]

Hi Guys,


As a Newbie back in the Baptist Faith, since I was 13. I have to ask some of you older folk in the Baptist Faith... Is it okay to Plead the Blood of Jesus over one's life and one's family? I do this, daily, seeing my family is not really active in serving the Lord. I've heard pro and con, about this subject. I feel it is neccesary, some may disagree. if so, why? if not, Why? Please, Not wanting to start a debate, Just wanting some clarity on the subject, and please, have scripture to back your opinion/stance... ect...


Thanks very Much for your help, in advance.

I would say it is more than acceptable, it is your duty. Look at Job, he did so. The prayers of a righteous man availeth much.

ISTM "pleading the blood of Jesus" can be used as a magic formula, or can simply be a phrase used in prayer. Generally speaking, Baptists and Anabaptists tend to be opposed to prayers that smack of magic formulas - i.e. that using certain words will bring certain results.

I never heard of pleading the blood of Christ. What does it mean?

 

[CFoster]

I too am dumbfounded by the phrase.

I can only offer scripture for an answer tonight...

Rev 12:10-12
"And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you,m having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time."

1John 2:1-2
"My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate wtih the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for hte sins of the whole world."

To me these passages tell me to not only plead the power of His blood when under attack, but claim the victory that Jesus already provided for us.

I myself am curious. I've heard people say this, in a most intense way, and I was mighty impressed when they said it, but afterwards I found myself wondering what it all meant.

Hi Gang,

Well, after reading up on more of this, on the internet. I guess I won't be praying that in my prayers any longer. I was under the impression it was okay. Perhaps not.


here goes a link on what I am referring to, for those who don't know what I am taking about. :

I honestly didn't know it was that bad of a thing to do. Lord forgive me.

Thanks for all the comments and God Bless.

Pleading or speaking the blood causes the blood of Jesus to speak out on our behalf and stops the attacks of satan. Any time you sense the hosts of darkness coming against you plead the blood of Jesus against.

You can use whatever words the Holy Spirit lays on your heart to do this.

"Your forces of darkness attacking my home and life, I command you to stop in Jesus name. I hold the blood of Jesus against you. The blood of Jesus has defeated you. The blood of Jesus has set me free. The blood of Jesus avails for me. I plead the blood of Jesus over my home, my life and my family. I protect them from your attacks. I walk in the freedom Jesus' death has brought me. Amen"

You got any scripture, that isn't blantantly taken out it's original context to back that up?

That's pentecostal teaching and wrong. Sorry.

The Sings and wonders gift were given to the 12 apostles, not us today.

I had never read it phrased like that before. Wow...food for thought. Thanks CIS

When we "plead the blood of Jesus," we are actually pleading our faith in His blood that was shed for all mankind. That is, at least to me, the essence of Christian prayer.

What does Scripture tell us? Well, Romans 3:24-26 tells us,

" Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus."

And, Romans 5:8-9 tells us,

"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him."

And especially what we read in Ephesians 2:13,

" But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ."

And in 1st John 1:7 we find,

" But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin."

Based on these verses, I believe God is the justifier of any man, past, present or future, who places his faith in the blood of Jesus Christ.

more food for thought.....
But, after reading scripture and praying I must say, there's nothing biblical that says I can't call on the blood of Christ when dealing with an attack from Satan or his minions.

So I guess I'm okay...at least until God lets me know otherwise

I would say this about recent posts and the article linked above: "Pleading" is a judicial term. In that sense, one only "pleads" to The Judge," not to one's Adversary. I think that is what the article had in mind.

To add food for thought, in legal proceedings, one does not personally plead at all when one has an Advocate. It is the Advocate's job to plead on behalf of the accused.
