With those words, Jesus began His ministry as our High Priest. He ascended into heaven in His freshly resurrected body, presented Himself to the Father, and put His own blood on the mercy seat before the very throne of God where it would forever make legal our redemption.
The book of Hebrews tells us all about this. It says that once Jesus had offered His blood before the Father, God swore an oath of promise to Him. He promised every WORD of the New Covenant and all THE BLESSING of the Old, not only to Jesus but to all of us who have been “forever completely cleansed and perfected…and made holy” by His blood (Hebrews 10:14, "The Amplified Bible").
This is the reason pleading the blood is so powerful!
When we do it by faith we bring the entire covenant of God to bear on our situation. We leave the devil with no place to operate because the blood cancels out all his claims on us. It declares us forever forgiven, forever righteous, forever delivered from the curse of sin and Satan’s dominion, forever victorious, and forever BLESSED!
A Major Part of Activating Your Covenant
“But Brother Copeland, what about the part of Revelation 12:11 that says the overcoming believers loved not their lives unto the death? What does that mean?”
It means they didn’t just talk about their blood covenant with God, they walked in it. They fully committed themselves to Him and His plan. Instead of living as if their lives were their own and they could just do anything they wanted, they dedicated themselves completely—spirit, soul, and body—to The LORD.
