Let’s talk about something that’s at the very heart of the Christian faith—the blood of Jesus.
If you’ve ever wondered why the blood of Jesus is such a big deal, you’re not alone. I mean, it’s not exactly a topic we bring up at the dinner table, right? But here’s the thing: the blood of Jesus is everything.
It’s the foundation of salvation, the source of our healing, and the key to victory over every obstacle for Christians.
In his powerful book, Creation Cries, Bishop Steven Williams explores this topic in-depth, giving us a fresh perspective on why the blood of Jesus is so transformative.
So, grab your favorite drink, get comfy, and let’s explore the life-changing power of the blood of Jesus together.
Why the Blood of Jesus is Such a Big Deal
Let’s start with the basics!
Why is the blood of Jesus so important?
Bishop Williams explains that Jesus’s blood is not just a symbol—it’s a substance with real, tangible power.
It’s not just something we sing about in hymns or mention in prayers; it’s the very thing that sets us free from sin, heals our wounds, and protects us from the enemy’s attacks.
In Creation Cries, Bishop Williams reminds us of the biblical truth that “the life of the flesh is in the blood” (Leviticus 17:11).
Blood is more than just a physical substance—it carries life, power, and authority. When Jesus shed His blood on the cross, He didn’t just give us a way to be forgiven; He gave us access to His life, His power, and His authority.
But here’s the kicker: many of us don’t fully understand or tap into the power of the blood. We know it’s essential, but we don’t know how to apply it to our lives. That’s where Bishop Williams comes in. He doesn’t just explain the why behind the blood of Jesus—he shows us the how.
What Does the Blood of Jesus Do?
What exactly does the blood of Jesus do for us?
Bishop Williams divides it into three key areas: cleansing, protection, and empowerment.
Cleansing from Sin
First and foremost, the blood of Jesus cleanses us from sin. This is the foundation of our salvation. Without the blood, we would still be trapped in our sin, separated from God, and destined for eternal death. But because of the blood, we’ve been washed clean and righteous in God’s eyes.
Bishop Williams puts it this way:
| “The blood of Jesus shows us the power to remit sin and to clean our consciousness of the dead works that the devil tries to plant in our mind.”
– Extracted from the book, Creation Cries |
In other words, the blood doesn’t just cleanse us from the guilt of sin—it cleanses our minds from the shame, regret, and condemnation that often linger after we’ve been forgiven. It’s a complete cleansing, inside and out.
Protection from the Enemy
The blood of Jesus is also a powerful weapon against the enemy. Bishop Williams explains that the devil is constantly trying to steal, kill, and destroy, but the blood of Jesus is our ultimate defense.
When we “plead the blood” over our lives, our families, and our circumstances, we’re invoking the power of Jesus’ sacrifice to protect us from the enemy’s attacks.
| “The blood of Christ has overcoming power to accelerate victory in your situation.”
– An excerpt from the book |
This is such a powerful truth. No matter what you’re facing—whether it’s fear, sickness, or financial struggle—the blood of Jesus is your shield. It’s like a spiritual force field that the enemy can’t penetrate.
Empowerment for Victory
Finally, the blood of Jesus empowers us to live in victory.
Bishop Williams reminds us that we’re not just saved from something (sin and death); we’re saved for something (a life of purpose and power).
The blood of Jesus gives us the authority to overcome every obstacle and walk in the fullness of God’s promises.
| “You have authority to appropriate the blood of Jesus over your health, over your situational lack, over your marriage, over your family, and over every part of your life.”
– Creation Cries by Bishop Steven Williams |
This is where it gets really exciting!
The blood of Jesus isn’t just about what happened on the cross 2,000 years ago—it’s about what’s happening in your life right now. It’s about claiming your victory, stepping into your authority, and living the abundant life that Jesus died to give you.
How to “Plead the Blood” in Your Life
Okay, so we know the blood of Jesus is powerful—but how do we actually apply it to our lives?
Bishop Williams shares a practical and powerful tool: pleading the blood. This isn’t just a religious phrase; it’s a spiritual practice that can transform your life.
Pleading the blood simply means declaring the power of Jesus’ blood over your life, family, and circumstances. It’s a way of reminding the enemy (and yourself) that you’re covered by the blood of Jesus and that no weapon formed against you will prosper.
Here’s how Bishop Williams suggests doing it:
Speak It Out Loud
There’s power in your words. When you plead the blood, say it out loud. Declare, “I plead the blood of Jesus over my health, over my family, over my finances, and over every area of my life.”
Be Specific
Don’t just make a general declaration—be specific. If you’re struggling with fear, plead the blood over your mind. If you’re facing a financial crisis, plead the blood over your bank account. The more specific you are, the more targeted your prayers will be.
Do It Regularly
Pleading the blood isn’t a one-time thing. It’s a daily practice. Bishop Williams encourages believers to make it a habit, just like brushing their teeth or eating breakfast. The more you do it, the more you’ll see its power at work.
Blood of Jesus Is Your Supernatural Weapon
Creation Cries by Bishop Steven Williams isn’t just a book—it’s a battle plan. It equips you with the spiritual tools to plead the blood, speak life, and step into God’s protection and healing.
So, ask yourself:
- Are you ready to stop living in fear and start walking in faith?
- Will you speak the blood of Jesus over every situation?
- Is today the day you claim your victory?
If your heart is screaming yes, then this book is for you.
