Blood Work

(1)And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD. (2) And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. (3) And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD. (4) And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering: (5) But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell. (6) And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? (7) If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him. (8)And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him. (9)And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother’s keeper? (10)And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother’s blood crieth unto me from the ground.

I am always amazed out how God speaks to us, especially when He speaks to us in every day moments. Today’s sermon came from a very unlikely source, I was flipping through the magazine “Popular Science” which if you ever read one is full of interesting information but also does it’s best to defend science against God. This particular copy I was looking at had a two page spread with the title “Your History in a Drop of Blood”. The article described a new breakthrough in blood work that could take a sample of your blood and reveal a record of every virus you’ve had throughout your life.

This one article confirms what the Bible has been saying for years; that your blood will tell on you. That reminded me of some statistics that I read recently. Here in US 83% of Americans call themselves Christian, yet 25% are Homosexuals, over 50% have some form of substance abuse problems, an estimated 50% have some form of mental disorder, Anywhere from 50 to 70% of Americans have viewed or are addicted to pornography, It is reported that we have more reported cases of rape, murders, and total crimes in the world.

Which begs me to ask the question what would happen if those that proclaim to be Christians took a “spiritual blood test”. If 83% of Americans are Christian these numbers are not adding up. Either these numbers are wrong, or we have a nation of people that do not understand what it means to be a Christian or they do not understand that if the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. With numbers like that no wonder people call Christians fakes and phonies. Christians struggle sometimes but we are free, we don’t get overcome; we overcome, we don’t stay bound; we break free.

The Church needs to act the Church, we should be victorious, conquerors, and we should be walking in the fullness of the Spirit and operating in the power and the anointing to where we see the miraculous take place. The church house should not be a bomb shelter to protect you from the attacks of the enemy but a war room where we strategize and equip ourselves to take back territories and souls from the enemy for the Kingdom of God. The Church needs to act like born again people from another Kingdom instead of trying to remain connected to this world.

Today I am going to show you why God chose to use being born again as the only means of salvation. I know you have heard it all before but today I will show you through the natural that has taken science 100’s of years to come up with and apply it to the Spiritual. Today the blood is going to speak to you and remind you of who you are and whose you are!

I. In John chapter 3 we are given the instructions on what we must do to become citizens of the Kingdom of God. There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born? Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
