    Over the years I have noticed the devil fights me very hard when I preach on the subject of the Blood of Christ. I list several reasons why the devil hates the Blood.

    The devil has a deep abiding hatred for the things of God especially the Blood of Christ. He fights against the truth when it is preached under the unction of the Holy Ghost, he especially fights hard when we preach on the subject of the shed blood of Jesus. For there is no salvation apart from the ...read more
