The Blood Is Still Speaking - Why You Need to Open Your Mouth

 HE CAN'T SILENCE THE BLOOD 

SO HE SILENCED YOU .

SPEAKING ACTIVATES THE BLOOD.

Your church never teach you. There is a weapon in your possession that the enemy cannot touch. He has tried for centuries to discredit it, minimize it, reduce it to a Sunday morning metaphor. But the blood of Jesus still speaks - present tense- before the throne of God right now. Since he cannot silence the blood, he has spent generations doing the next best thing: silencing you. 

In this deep teaching "The Blood Covenant," we expose the four specific strategies the enemy uses to keep your testimony quiet - and what the blood has already declared that you need to start saying out loud. 🗣️ 

What you will discover in this teaching: 

•- Hebrews 12:24 - why the blood speaketh in present tense, not past tense 

•-Revelation 12:11 - the two components of overcoming: the blood and the word of your testimony 

- Strategy 1:  Condemnation - Romans 8:1, 1 John 1:9 - how the enemy uses your own conscience as a gag - Hebrews 4: 14 - hold fast to your confession-  homologia - saying the same thing as God 

- Strategy 2: Counterfeit humility - Romans 4:17 - faith calls those things which be not as though they were 

- Strategy 3: The fear of looking foolish - Hebrews 10:35- cast not away your confidence 

- Strategy 4: The wrong consciousness - sin-consciousness vs righteousness-consciousness - 2 Corinthians 5:21 

-What the blood has declared: righteousness, healing, authority, and provision - Isaiah 53:4-5, 1 Peter 2:24, Colossians 2:15, Philippians 4:19

The Blood Is Still Speaking - Why You Need to Open Your Mouth 

     There is a weapon in your possession that the enemy cannot touch. He has tried. He has attempted to discredit it, to minimize it, to explain it away through centuries of theological reduction until it became nothing more than a Sunday morning metaphor, a beautiful but largely powerless symbol  of something that happened a long time ago to someone else. But he has never been able to silence it because the blood of Jesus Christ speaks. Hebrews 12: 24. The blood of sprinkling that speaketh better things than that of Abel. Not spoke, not has spoken, speaketh, present tense, active, continuous. The blood has not stopped speaking. It did not finish its testimony at Calvary and fall silent. It is speaking right now in the heavenly holy of holies where Christ carried it before the throne of God where it was accepted as the eternal seal of man's redemption against every accusation the enemy has ever brought or will ever bring against the believer who stands in Christ. 

The blood is speaking. The enemy cannot silence it. And so he does the next best thing. He silences you. This is the strategy that was identified in the blood covenant as the enemy's most consistently effective weapon against the body of Christ. Not a frontal assault on the finished work of redemption. The enemy knows that ground is settled. He knows the legal transaction of Calvary is irrevocable. 

 The devil knows the blood Christ carried into the heavenly holy of holies has been accepted by the Supreme Court of the universe and cannot be reversed. He does not waste his effort trying to undo what cannot be undone. Instead. he turns his attention to the one variable that remains in his reach, the mouth 👄 of the believer. 

   Because the blood speaks in heaven, but the blood's power in the earth is released through the confession of the one it was shed for. And if the enemy can silence the testimony, if he can keep the believer from speaking what the blood has already declared, he does not need to overcome the blood. He simply waits for the believer's own silence to do for him what the blood will not allow him to do himself. 

 Revelation 12:1. And they overcame him (devil) by the blood of the lamb and by the word of their testimony. Two things, not one. The blood, the legal foundation already established, already speaking, already interceding. And the word of their testimony, the believer's vocal agreement with what the blood has declared. 

  The confession that brings the legal reality of  heaven into the experiential reality of earth. Two things working together and the enemy who cannot touch the first has spent generations neutralizing the second. 

  This teaching is about reclaiming it. Because the blood has never been silent. 

 It is speaking 🗣️ right now over your righteousness, over your healing, over your authority, over your provision, declaring before the throne of God everything that was legally established at Calvary on your behalf. The only question is whether you will open your mouth 👄 and 🗣️ let your testimony join what the blood is already saying.

 But before we show you what the testimony is, we need to show you exactly how the enemy has been shutting it down. Because he does not use one method. He uses several and each of them is more sophisticated than the last and each of them has been working in the body of Christ for so long that most believers cannot recognize them anymore. 

  The first one is also the oldest. And it is the one most likely to be operating in your life right now, even if you have never identified it as the enemy's strategy. 

 Sit with that verse for a moment longer. 

 Abel's blood cried out from the ground after Cain murdered him. 

Genesis 4:10. The voice of thy brother's blood crith unto me from the ground. Even the blood of a fallen man cried out for justice. 

  But it could only cry for vengeance because that is all fallen blood could carry. The blood of Jesus speaks better things.

1. Forgiveness. Where Abel's blood could only speak accusation. 

 2. Righteousness. Where fallen blood could only speak guilt.

 Healing, authority, provision, sonship, the full legal package of everything purchased when the Son of God carried his own blood into the presence of the Father. Speaking right now, over you, for you, without pause. The enemy cannot touch that, but your mouth he can reach. And that is where the battle has always been. 

Note, the confession of the believer is what gives the blood its practical operation in their daily life. Not that the blood needs the confession to be powerful. The blood is already powerful, already speaking, already interceding regardless of whether any believer on earth acknowledges it. but the release of what the blood has legally secured into the specific circumstances of the believer's life. The healing, the provision, the deliverance, the authority, the peace. 

  That release happens through the believer's 🗣️ spoken word, through their testimony, through their confession of what the blood has already accomplished on their behalf. 

And the enemy's singular focus, his most relentless, most sophisticated, most historically effective strategy is to keep that confession silent. 

Go back to Revelation 12:1. They overcame him (devil) by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony. Notice that the verse does not say they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb alone. It says by the blood and by the word of their testimony. Two components, both necessary. Not because the blood is insufficient, the blood is completely sufficient, but because the blood operates in the spirit realm as a legal reality, and the testimony  operates in the physical realm as the enforcement mechanism that brings the legal reality into experiential reality. 

 Think about a courtroom. A verdict can be declared by a judge legally, officially, permanently, and that  verdict means nothing to the prisoner in the cell until someone walks into the cell and announces it. The announcement does not create the verdict. The verdict already exists. But the announcement is what releases the prisoner from the conditions the verdict was meant to end. 

 The blood is the verdict. The testimony is the announcement. And the enemy's strategy from the moment Calvary was finished and he realized he could not reverse the verdict has been to prevent the announcement to keep the believer in the cell not by challenging the verdict by keeping the one who knows the verdict silent. 

Hebrews 4:14, seeing then that we have a great high priest that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. 

 Hold fast our profession, our homologia, our saying the same thing as God. The instruction to hold fast implies that  something is going to try to pry it loose. Circumstances will try, feelings will try, the enemy's accusations will try, the memory of past failures will try. And the believer who does not understand that their confession is their most powerful spiritual weapon will release it the moment the pressure is sufficient and find themselves standing in silence before the very circumstances that the Word was designed to address. 

This is why this message pressed this truth so relentlessly. Not because confession is a religious formula or a spiritual technique to be mastered, but because confession is the mechanism, the bridge,  the announcement that carries the verdict of heaven into the territory of earth. 

Now, the enemy knows all of this. He has known it since Calvary. And so, he has developed specific strategies to keep the testimony quiet. Four of them, each more sophisticated than the last. And the first one is the one he has been deploying against you for longer than you probably know. 

Take note: "Confession is not optional in the Christian life. It is the mechanism through which heaven's legal realities become earth's experiential realities for every believer, regardless of how long they have been saved or what their current circumstances look like. The blood speaks in heaven. The testimony echoes it on earth. When the two align, what the believer says 🗣️ on earth matching what the blood is already declaring in heaven, the enemy's ability to maintain conditions in that believer's life is broken. This is not a formula. It is a covenant law. And the enemy who has read the same covenant has spent generations making sure you never fully believe it. 

  The first way the enemy silences you is through condemnation. 

   And this is his oldest, most reliable tool because it turns the believer's own consciousness of sin and failure into the instrument of their own spiritual defeat. The mechanism is devastatingly simple. The blood of Jesus has dealt with sin completely, legally, permanently. 1 John 1:9, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." 

Romans 8:1. There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus. 

The legal ground is settled. The blood has spoken. The case against the believer has been dismissed with the permanence that only the blood of an eternal covenant can establish. But the enemy knows that a believer who does not know this, or more precisely, a believer who knows it intellectually but has never entered it experientially, can be kept silent by their own sense of unworthiness. 

   If the devil can make the believer feel that their failures have disqualified them from speaking with authority, from confessing 🗣️ the Word with boldness, from declaring what the blood has secured, then the enemy does not need to fight the blood. He simply uses the believer's own conscience as a gag. 

Kenyan identified this as perhaps the single greatest 

11:20 tragedy in the body of Christ. Believers fully justified by the blood living in a permanent lowgrade consciousness of 

11:28 unworthiness that keeps their mouths closed. They do not declare healing because they do not feel worthy of 

11:35 healing. They do not enforce their authority because they do not feel qualified. They do not boldly present 

11:42 the covenant's provisions because somewhere in the back of their minds, there is always the nagging suspicion that their personal track record still affects their standing practically. 

11:53 And as long as the enemy can keep that suspicion alive, he keeps the confession silent. And as long as the confession is 

12:01 silent, the practical operation of what the blood has secured remains largely unreleased in the believer's daily life. 

 Hebrews 4:14, "Let us hold fast our profession. Hold fast, not occasionally speak it when you feel spiritually clean enough. Hold fast, grip it, refuse to release it, regardless of what
