Shame & The Blood Covenant

There is no cure for shame other than the blood of Jesus. When you are spiritually or physically naked, you are ashamed and want to be covered. When Adam and Eve disobeyed God, they became uncovered. God killed the first animals to make a covering for Adam and Eve. The innocent gave their blood for the guilty. Without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness. The cross represents the blood covenant that we have with God.

Fear about anything means you are out of covenant in that area. Hath God said? The enemy wants you to break covenant. God never breaks a covenant, but we do!

How does the enemy deceive us? We listen to the sound of the voice speaking to us and don't compare what's being said to what the Bible says.

The Invitation

All have sinned and come short of the glory of God. It is impossible to live without sinning. That’s why God provided a sacrifice, His Son. Jesus who did not sin became an eternal sacrifice for all who believe that! He died a horrible death on the cross. He paid an awful price so that you and I could be saved. If you know that you have sinned and want to be forgiven, turn from your wicked ways and accept God’s provision. Pray this simple prayer: Lord, I know that I am a sinner and I want to be forgiven. I accept Jesus as my Lord and turn from all evil. Jesus come into my heart and fill me with your precious Holy Spirit. I am born again. Thank you Lord!

You don’t have to pray it out loud or in a church, but you do need to confess it before others. If you prayed this and believed it in your heart, you are now a child of God. You are saved. You have a home in Heaven and all the angels are rejoicing because you have turned to God! Get a bible and begin reading it. The book of John is a great place to start. Be sure to find others to share your faith with and find a place where you can worship God with others of like and precious faith. Welcome to the family of God!
