God was protecting him from his own curse!
I discovered that many commentators believe this sign, or marking, was not like a brand on the forehead. They say there was something awesome about Cain’s appearance that made people dread and avoid him.
How much more are you and I marked!
Deuteronomy 28:10, "NKJV," says, “Then all peoples of the earth shall see that you are called by the name of the Lord, and they shall be afraid of you.” What is it that causes the devil to dread and avoid us? It’s the blood of Jesus! We are marked by the blood! We are marked for prosperity. We are marked for healing. We are marked for victory. We are marked for protection. We are untouchable because of Jesus’ blood.
Forever Marked Safe
The blood and our confession of faith are an unbeatable combination! Revelation 12:11 tells us we have overcome the devil by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of our testimony. Let’s release our faith now. Read this out loud:
Father, I come boldly to the throne of grace in the Name of Jesus. I declare by faith that my family and I are forever marked safe. We are marked by the blood of our LORD Jesus. Satan, you can’t touch us. You cannot bring destruction into our lives. Psalm 103:4 says God has redeemed us from destruction. No matter where we go or what we do, we are totally marked by His blood. No evil or calamity will come near us. No weapon formed against us will prosper. With long life will You satisfy us and show us Your salvation.
This Christmas, let’s celebrate the birth of our Redeemer, who rescued us from destruction with His precious blood. Thank God, we are forever marked safe! V
