I was recently on a different site and my mouth flew open. I read a comment from someone that said, "You know we have no power over Satan". I understand that everyone is taught and receives the word of God differently but come on!
No power over Satan!
You fight this kind of argument with the word of God.
This is what Jesus gave to His disciples before sending them out: Luke 9:1,2
1 Then He called His twelve disciples together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases. 2 He sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.
Power and authority over all demons. Not just the little ones or not all except Satan. It says all demons. So when someone says Christians have no power over Satan it tends to fire me up.
More Bible; Hebrews 13:8
8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
So if this is true, and it is, how can Jesus give this power to His disciples and that not include us? Again, I do not want to fight other people's belief but this is wrong teaching. Denying this power gives the Deceiver way too much power over them.
I don't have all this figured out but read one more verse: Ephesians 6:10
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. (Emphasis mine)
Notice the Bible does not say mighty awesome power of the devil. It says wiles! This is schemes, lies, deception, etc. The devil is very good at what he does. And what better way to fight the body of Christ, then to deceive them into thinking they have no power over him.
Satan already has many Christians not sure he even exists and some that acknowledge his existence, think they have no power. So my mouth is open in amazement. The power is in the name of Jesus and there is not one thing any demon can do against that name. I am not suggesting we all run around looking for demons. But what I am saying is quit running from them! The Bible says we need to stand, not run. Now it also does not tell us to fight either.
One last example: Acts 19:14-17
14 Also there were seven sons of Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, who did so. 15 And the evil spirit answered and said, “Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are you?” 16 Then the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, overpowered them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded. 17 This became known both to all Jews and Greeks dwelling in Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.
So you need to make sure you have the power before you start using the name of Jesus. So who has the power? Go back to Luke 9:1 and answer this question; Are you a disciple of Jesus? If you are a follower of Jesus you have it. Now believing that takes faith and that is a whole different topic.

Save the World vs. Save Your Neighbor
Why do most beauty contestants when asked, "With one wish, what do you wish for?" answer: World Peace. On a similar note, most Christians have no problem talking about "saving the world" but have trouble speaking to their neighbor or family member about Jesus!
I believe we are in a society that is all about being a spectator, cheerleader or critic. In a previous post about evangelism and prayer I basically said, you want Christians to scatter, call a prayer meeting or evangelism class.
Since writing that I have wondered why Christians do not want to get involved. Do they think Hell is not a real place? Or maybe since God is Love, everyone really gets to go to Heaven. That is not in the Bible I am reading. No, I think most Christians are caught in this spectator, cheerleader, or critic society.
There is no personal accountability for them or their actions. (Since they really have none.) They treat life like a Nascar event, watching and waiting for the next wreck. Once the wreck happens, they get together and talk about it.
Why not pick one person in your life, ask God for an opportunity to share the Gospel with them. Make every effort to pour yourself into their life, every chance you get. If something bad happens in their life, pray. Something good happens, cheer. Get involved, and make a difference in one person's life. Maybe you won't get them "saved", but I don't remember Jesus stopping to pray the "Sinner's Prayer" with anyone.
Jesus poured Himself out for us. Our response should be to pour our life out for Him. We love Him because He first loved us.
Quit trying to save the world. That will lead you to be a spectator in life. Life is meant to be lived; be a participant, start by praying for one person in your family. Find a need and fill it in their life. This could make an eternal difference in their life and will benefit you as well.

Sit Down Jesus!
In a previous post, Am I the Only One? I quoted a scripture spoken through the prophet David in Psalms 110:1, Here it is again:
..."Sit at my Right hand, till I make Your enemies Your footstool."
Now read what Jesus said to the religious leaders (Sanhedrin) in Luke 23:67-70
67 “If You are the Christ, tell us.” But He said to them, “If I tell you, you will by no means believe. 68 And if I also ask you, you will by no means answer Me or let Me go. 69 Hereafter the Son of Man will sit on the right hand of the power of God.” 70 Then they all said, “Are You then the Son of God?” So He said to them, “You rightly say that I am.” (Emphasis mine)
Jesus tells them and us where He is going. This is great news because of the promise He made earlier in John 14:12-14. Again let's look at that scripture
12 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. 13 And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask anything in My name, I will do it. (Emphasis mine)
One last scripture reading to tie all this together, Ephesians 1:17-23 (I know it is a lot but it will do you good to read the word of God.)
17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, 18 the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,
19 and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power 20 which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, 21 far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come. 22 And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, 23 which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all. (Again, emphasis mine)
Notice it is God's power that He worked in Christ. The same power that raised Jesus Christ from the dead is living on the inside of every believer. If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior you are part of His body. He is the head, we are His body of believers. The body is what will destroy the works of the Satan being guided by Jesus (The head of the body).
We can do all things through Christ, but we must be lead by Jesus.
Unity of the body is what is needed in the church today to overcome the enemies of Christ. In order to make Jesus enemies His footstool, we must come together as His body. Without the word of God and the leading of the Holy Spirit, unity of the body will be impossible. Why, because we have an enemy that knows he will be defeated when the church comes together again.
Think about it, if you were the devil, wouldn't you do everything in your power to keep the church fighting against itself? I know I would, and I believe that is what Satan is doing with his "tares" in the church. More on this later.

By His Word and In His Name
To continue the thought of my last entry. How is the church going to defeat the enemies of Jesus? I believe it is only possible by using the word of God and the name of Jesus. Read John 14:12-14
12 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. 13 And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask anything in My name, I will do it. (Emphasis mine)
Jesus Himself tells us we will do greater works than He did because He was going to His Father and sending His Spirit. Now Jesus, by His Spirit, could be everywhere, all at the same time. Now that is power!
I love the book of Acts; it is a picture of the early church learning and using the power of God. Look at Acts 3:1-10 this is where Peter healed the lame beggar. Notice Peter's words and where his power came from for the healing. (I know he was baptized in the Holy Spirit earlier.)
6 Then Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.” 7 And he took him by the right hand and lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.
8 So he, leaping up, stood and walked and entered the temple with them—walking, leaping, and praising God. 9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God. 10 Then they knew that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple; and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him. (Emphasis mine)
Peter healed this man by using the name of Jesus. This is exactly what Jesus said would happen after He went to the Father.
How do we get this kind of power? It will only come when you plant the Word of God in your heart and let it take control of your life. I do not want this teaching to go on and on, but there is a lot here. Read Psalm 138:2:
I will worship toward Your holy temple, And praise Your name For Your lovingkindness and Your truth; For You have magnified Your word above all Your name. (Emphasis mine)
At the name of Jesus all things are possible and God has elevated His word above His Name. Again I am going to let that sink in, meditate on that and I will continue next post.
12 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. 13 And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.

Power in Your Words- Part 1
Most of you have heard the saying:
"Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me."
I used to think the above saying was the truth. Words really did not mean much, your actions was all that mattered. After reading and studying the Bible, (the real Truth) I have come to a different conclusion.
Your faith, plus your words, plus your belief in your heart (no doubting), is how you can move any mountain (add in any obstacle) in your life.
Let's read Mark 11:22-24
So Jesus answered and said to them, "Have faith in God. For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be removed and be cast in the sea, and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them." (emphasis mine)
I know there have been countless sermons and teachings on this topic but I just wanted to tell you what I am meditating on right now. The assumption that words have no real power or cannot affect you, is a lie straight from the devil.
In Genesis 1, God literally spoke the world into existence. (If you do not believe that, your can not believe any other part of the Bible.) If God did not speak and create this world, than God is a liar. God is God and this is how He did it: And God said.
He then gave man (Adam) dominion over the world He created and that included "speaking" to his situation. Adam gave this "power/dominion" to the devil and that is how Satan get things done here on Earth. Wow, that is a bunch for this post. I will let that sink in, continue to pray on this and get back to it tomorrow.

Christian Clothing for Doers of the word
Christian Clothing today is mostly about proclaiming the fact the person wearing the clothing item is a Christian. How does that proclamation help anyone unfamiliar with Jesus Christ and His gift of salvation?
In my experience with non-Christians, (I was one for 30 years) most believe in order to become a Christian they will have to fall in line like their "crazy" neighbor and never do anything "fun" again. In other words they will have to live by a new set of rules and standards.
As most Christians (not all) know, it is about a personal relationship with Christ, not obeying a "rule book". Jesus Christ "obeyed" all the rules of the law for us. He took all of our broken rules (past, present and future) and paid the price once and for all.
That is the Good News and it is what the world needs to know. So what does that have to do with Christian Clothing? The Bible teaches, not to cast your pearls before swine.
So, are we instructed to tell everybody we come in contact with about Jesus? (Here is where I get off the "witness to everybody" reservation.) I believe we are to tell only those whom the Father is currently drawing to Himself. (See John 6:44) Now, if you are wondering who the Father is drawing, I believe all you need to do is ask Him.
This is a prayer God will answer. The problem some believers have with this idea is, it requires action and participation in God's word. This is where One Drop of Blood can help.
We have found that many believers need a little help hearing from God, so we have created a Christian Clothing Line that helps you fulfill the Great Commission and be doers of God's word.
How many times has someone asked you about Jesus while wearing any item in your current wardrobe?
Our challenge to you is as easy as 1, 2, and 3:
1. Find a Christian Clothing Line.
2. Purchase an item that will start a conversation about Jesus.
3. Then give them your personal testimony or a gospel tract.
Quit being hearers only, it is time for Christians to get off the pew and into the world.

A Christian Clothing Prayer
In a previous post I talked about Prayer, Wear and Share.
I would like to concentrate on Prayer. I define prayer as my conversation with God. This is a two way conversation that starts with me.
Usually, I start my prayer by acknowledging God as my Lord and Savior. Then, I ask God to lead, guide, and direct me during my day. Finally, I tell God I will be wearing the One Drop of Blood logo and ask Him to send someone into my life that needs to hear from Him.
This may sound a little too familiar but I have a close personal relationship with Jesus and talk to Him like I would a close friend. While wearing the shirt, I am constantly aware that someone may ask me a question. So I ask Jesus for just the right word.
During a typical day I may be asked a question about the logo. This does a couple of things for me spiritually. First, I can experience an answer to my specific prayer. Next, I am able to share God's word to the person who asked the question.
This may seem like a very small thing to most people but there is a confidence you gain from having your prayer answered. Try it for yourself, God will answer this prayer.

Teaching the Church to Pray and Evangelize
Making Christians Scatter!
If you want to see most Christians run for cover, call a prayer meeting or teach an evangelism class. Why is that? Have you ever wondered why the Great Commission is so uncomfortable for the Church?
I believe most Christians want to share their faith, they just don't know how. Why not just let the light of your life shine? When people ask, "What makes you different?" have an answer or a Christian tract ready.
I believe one possible answer to sharing your faith could be the clothes you wear. Christian Clothing can help you be a witness, evangelize the lost and strengthen your prayer life. How, you may ask, can something like Christian T-Shirts do all that?
By simply using something common to everyone, clothes, and making them magnets for God.

The Power of Two
Did you know there is supernatural power in agreement with another? When you are in agreement with another person Jesus hears and God answers.
"Again I say to you that if any two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathering together in My name, I am there in the midst of them." (Matthew 18:19,20)
Notice it is already done for them in heaven. The prayer is always answered in heaven. The believer needs to learn how to get it from heaven to earth. This is called faith. I believe faith is a verb and a noun. It requires action and effort, and it works better when there is more than one believer working in faith.
Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him. And a threefold cord is not quickly broken. (Ecclesiastes 4:9,12)
Satan wants you to be a loner. He wants to get you puffed up with pride saying, "I don't need any one's help, all I need is God." Satan is likened to a lion, looking for the loner or the weakest in the herd. That is the one (loner) he will devour. This goes against what Jesus taught in Luke 10:1-20) where He appointed 70 disciples and sent them out in pairs.
As I am writing this, I am reminded, that it seems the hardest person for me to pray with is my wife. I think Satan knows how powerful those prayers are, so he really tries to hinder the prayers of a husband and wife. I have talked to many couples and I hear the same thing, praying out loud with their spouse is difficult for them.
Let's start seeing this as an attack, and start fighting back; grab a prayer partner and start taking back what Satan has stolen from you.
