I was reading an article this week on pleading the blood of Jesus. It sparked an interest that I already had which pertained to the art of prayer. Many times we as Christians pray when things have already happened and we are on the defensive. Pleading the blood of Jesus can be used as an offensive weapon in prayer. It can be used as a preventative and proactive measure in order to set things in order in our atmospheric (spiritual, soulish) surroundings. We as men and women of God should not be on the defensive when it comes to warring with our common enemy which is Satan. We serve an all powerful God which means that we can be proactive in our approach in prayer. Depending on your level of faith will depend on how proactive you are when it comes spiritual warfare. I have realized that when one pleads the blood of Jesus there are three things that the blood of Jesus is symbolic of. These 3 things are deliverance, protection, and forgiveness. As we go throughout our day as children of God we should pray to have a hedge of protection around us and our families. A hedge of protection can be used to protect our mind, heart, family, home, etc....
There may also be things that we need to be delivered from in our minds or even forgiven of. Pleading the blood of Jesus can cause you to be positioned in victory rather than on the defensive and struggling from test to test. I pray that these words encourage you to change your mindset when it comes to your approach in prayer.

Amen! When you spoke about deliverance in the mind, it brought back the message my dad preached yesterday. Kill the giant in you mind! We have to lay aside every weight and sin [blood cleases] that so easy beset us!
With the blood we are clean, washed whiter than snow. It's amazing how awesome God is. Normally dipping something in red will stain, but when you been dipped/washed in the blood it causes us to be white! Like when David was asking God to create in him a clean heart, but before that he says, "Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow." Ps. 51:7!
The Lord is here to fight our battles and the only thing that the devil and demon fear is the name of Jesus, who shed the BLOOD!
This was encouraging and has me thinking. Stay blessed
