*Genesis 3:22-24* - 22 “Then the Lord God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of Us, to know good and evil. And now, lest he put out his hand and take also of the *tree of life, and eat, and live forever*”— 23 therefore the Lord God sent him out of the garden of Eden to till the ground from which he was taken. 24 So He drove out the man; and *He placed cherubim at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life*.”

 

*Zoe* - “life throughout the universe, which comes from and is sustained by God’s self-existent life.”

 

*John 6:53-58* - "Then Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, *unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you*. 54 Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood *has eternal life*, and I will raise him up at the last day. 55 For My flesh is food indeed, and My blood is drink indeed. 

 

56 *He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me*, and I in him. 57 As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me. 58 This is the bread which came down from heaven—not as your fathers ate the manna, and are dead. He who eats this bread will live forever.”

 

*Herein revealed is the spiritual law of transfer of the life (Zoe) of God back to man.* 

 

1. The *flesh* of Christ releases man from the bondage of Satan, similar to how the consumption of the Passover lamb in Egypt signalled the release of the children of Israel from the bondage of Pharaoh.

 

*Prayer Point 1*

Father, I acknowledge the flesh of Christ that was broken for me. I declare that partaking of your flesh signals my deliverance from any manner of bondage that held me bound. I declare “He who the Son has set free is free indeed” and I and my household are sustained by God’s self-existent life.”

 

2. The *blood* represents two aspects:

 

a. *Atonement* - the shedding of the blood. The reconciliation of God and man through the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ.

i. *Ezekiel 18:20* - “The soul who sins shall die.”

ii. *Hebrews 9:22* - “In fact under the Law almost everything is cleansed with blood, and *without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness* [neither release from sin and its guilt, nor cancellation of the merited punishment].” - AMP Version


 

b. *Transfer of Zoe* - partaking of blood

i. *Leviticus 17:11* - “For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul.”

 

ii. *Leviticus 17:13-14* - ““Whatever man of the children of Israel, or of the strangers who dwell among you, who hunts and catches any animal or bird that may be eaten, he shall pour out its blood and cover it with dust; 

14 for it is the life of all flesh. Its blood sustains its life. Therefore I said to the children of Israel, ‘*You shall not eat the blood of any flesh, for the life of all flesh is its blood. Whoever eats it shall be cut off*.’”

 

*Prayer Point 2*

Father, I receive the precious life in the blood of Jesus Christ. It brings eternal life into every part of me that needs resurrecting. Resurrection of health, finances, dreams, mantle, vision, purpose, and assignment.

 

So what happens to Satan’s attempt to perpetuate the consequence (alienation from God) of man’s disobedience of God’s instructions in the Garden of Eden?

 

*Revelation 12:9-11* - 9 “So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

 

10 Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, “Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, *who accused them before our God day and night*, has been cast down. 11 And *they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb* and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.”

 

*Hebrews 12:22-24* - “But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels, 23 to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are registered in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect, 

24 to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than *that of*Abel.”

 

*Genesis 4:4* - “Then Abel brought the first lamb born to one of his sheep, killed it, and gave the best parts of it as an offering. The Lord was pleased with Abel and his offering.”

 

Abel proclaimed by the sacrifice he made the great truth that salvation could only be a blood offering.

 

*The blood of Jesus, which is the blood of sprinkling or the blood of atonement speaks to silence the accuser.*

 

*Prayer Point 3*

Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, let the voice of the blood of sprinkling silence every accusation and legal hold of Satan in my life, family, career, against my health, finances, and destiny. IJN

 

*Communion Confession*

Father, I decree and declare that concerning every legal access or hold Satan has over my life, my destiny, I invoke the blood of Jesus and I declare yokes and activities of ancestry be broken for ever IJN.

 

In the name of Jesus, covenants of delay, covenant of untimely death, covenants of retrogression and failure, by the blood of the Jesus Christ I declare be broken now. Ordinances of fathers that may be tying down my destiny be broken now. I declare I have been redeemed by the blood of the Lamb.

 

Seasons of shame, of embarrassment, or of reproach come to an end in my life now in the name of Jesus Christ.

 

Every resource, mantle, opportunity, relationship that has left me but should not have left, by the blood of Jesus, by the power in the name of Jesus, I reclaim them back into my destiny IJN.

 

Every spirit of the waster: infirmities, sicknesses, and diseases I challenge you by the power in the blood, leave my body right now in the name of Jesus Christ.

 

I declare patterns, cycles of negative and unusual occurrences, by the blood of Jesus Christ, come to an end in my life IJN.

 

I sanctify by the blood of Jesus Christ my visions, dreams, and prophetic experiences. I declare no more manipulations by the enemy.

 

I receive every blessing provided at this altar this morning IJN.
