Rhapsody Of Realities For Today’s Devotional MESSAGE:

Pst. Chris Says

By the Spirit, the Apostle Paul explained something profound in Ephesians 5:30. He said, “For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.” This statement goes beyond us being the members of a local church.

By referring to us as members of Christ’s body, of His flesh, and of His bones, it describes our inextricable oneness with Him—our unity and intimacy with Christ Himself.

But did you notice that Paul didn’t say, “For we are members of his body, of his flesh, his bones, and of his blood?” You need to understand that Christ’s body doesn’t have any blood anymore.

Jesus gave His blood as a sacrificial offering during His crucifixion. His blood was entirely drained out when a Roman soldier pierced His side with a spear, causing blood and water to gush out (John 19:34). By the time Jesus was buried, there was no blood left in His body.

However, on the third day, the Holy Spirit came upon Him, quickened His dead body and brought Him back to life. Therefore, Jesus’ resurrected body does not contain blood but is sustained by the power of the Holy Spirit.

And as He is, so are we in this world (1 John 4:17). Before you were born again, your body lived by blood. But now that the Holy Spirit lives in you, even though there’s blood in your body, your sustenance is by the Spirit.

No wonder Paul asserts in Romans 8:11, “But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.”

Often, you should declare, “I don’t live by blood. I live by the Holy Ghost. Therefore, cancer, blood disorders, or any form of infection can’t thrive in my body because I am sustained by the Holy Ghost.”
