The blood of Jesus speaks better things than the blood of Abel. The blood of Abel cried from the ground and demanded justice, but the blood of sprinkling pleads before the throne for mercy and peace. Therefore you do well to bring your employment before the Lord under that blood. Yet take heed not to use the precious blood as a charm or a mere form of words. The blood is not a spell to bend providence to your wish; it is the ground of your acceptance, the seal of your redemption, and the plea of your Advocate. Plead it, rest in it, and fear no evil.
You ask the Lord to rebuke whatever blocks your employment, standing on Zechariah 3:2. That is a right prayer, for the Lord alone can rebuke Satan. Joshua stood in filthy garments while the adversary resisted him, and the Lord did not tell Joshua to rebuke the accuser himself. The Lord said, The Lord rebuke thee, O Satan. So bring your cause to Christ. Do not think you must battle the powers of darkness by your own strength. Your part is to trust, to wait, and to walk uprightly. Still, use every honest means, for God’s deliverance often comes by the arrow in your own hand, yet the hand must be strengthened by Him.
As for witchcraft, the Lord has said He will cut off witchcrafts out of the land, and He is able to break every hidden snare. Yet let us be careful. Many a man has cried out against witchcraft when the greater hindrance was his own unbelief, pride, or impatience. I do not deny that there is hidden malice and the work of the powers of darkness, for Scripture warns us of them. But the deliverance you most need is always the deliverance from the power of darkness into the kingdom of God’s dear Son. If you are under the blood of Jesus, no curse can lodge against you, for He was made a curse for us. The accuser may roar, but the blood silences him.
You speak of covering yourself and your employment with the precious blood. The Scripture says the overcomers conquered by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony. That blood is your victory, not because you have uttered the words, but because Christ has once for all offered Himself as the sacrifice for sin. Faith takes hold of that finished work. So when you pray, pray as one already purchased. Say, Father, I come not pleading my own worth but the blood of Jesus. Let His righteousness cover my poor efforts, and let His will be done in my employment. If the door is open, I will enter with thanksgiving. If it remains shut, give me grace to wait and to be content. The blood of Jesus does not promise you a particular post or wage; it promises you God’s presence, peace, and eternal life. Seek first the kingdom, and these things shall be added.
Let us pray.
Lord Jesus, we praise You and thank You and glorify You. We ask You to rebuke every power of darkness that would hinder this soul from honest labor and daily bread. If any hidden work of wickedness is set against them, cut it off according to Your Word. Cover them with the blood of sprinkling, not as a charm but as the righteousness of the Lamb. Let that blood speak better things for them than any accusation can speak against them. Give them employment if it pleases You. If not, give them the greater employment of trusting You in the dark and glorifying You in want. Deliver them from all sin, from all fear, and from all unbelief. We ask it for Jesus’ sake. Amen.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. Thank You for loving me, Jesus. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
