How To Plead The Blood? Part 3 - 05.15.2022

·1 hr 14 min·5 clips

A pastor explains why 'I plead the blood of Jesus' is not a biblical term but a powerful legal principle.

The episode is a sermon by Bishop Brian Green, part of a series on 'How To Plead The Blood.' It opens with a prayer and welcome, noting the church's location in Washington, D.C. Green introduces the topic by questioning common phrases like 'cover them with the precious blood of Jesus,' linking it to the Passover in Exodus. He then reveals that 'I plead the blood of Jesus' is not a biblical term but a biblical principle, warning against using it like a magic wand. The sermon ties into Mental Health Awareness Month, citing Jesus's crown of thorns and 2 Timothy 1:7 to connect the blood to mental health. Green reads five scriptures from Hebrews and Revelation about the blood's transformative power. He explains that 'blessed' derives from a Greek word meaning 'hallowed with blood,' redefining common Christian language. The core teaching frames spiritual struggle as a legal case: Satan is the accuser (kategorio), God is the judge, and believers are defendants. Green emphasizes the Holy Spirit as parakletos (legal counsel) and the blood as evidence and witness. He provides two practical prayers—a 45-second and a 21-second version—for pleading the blood over one's mind. The sermon concludes with an altar call for salvation, a blessing from Numbers 6, and a method for anointing children's pictures with oil as a proxy for protection.
