The blood of Jesus is THE topic of the Bible. He washed us in his blood, making us kings and priests unto God. Jesus paid the ultimate price for all, but is He getting what He paid for? His work is done. It’s time for ours to begin. He should receive the full service of those that He redeemed.

John the Revelator in all that he sees
in heaven he writes these words they
overcame say that with me they overcame
I want you to understand they means that
there’s more more than one person in
this world with problems and that person
is not just
you there’s a lot of people that
whenever they walk through hard times
the first thing that they do is they
think that they’re the only one who has
ever
suffered why me is the phrase instead of
why
we think of the song Nobody Knows the
Trouble I
feel that’s our
attitude and yet here in Revelation John
says it’s not just you the good news is
there are lots of people who are
suffering don’t you feel
better they
overcame there’s more than one person on
the planet that has a need today there’s
more than one person in this room whose
burdens need to be lifted and yolks need
to be destroyed there’s more than one
individual who’s suffering in an hour of
sickness there’s more than somebody just
sitting to your right and left that
needs provision or the chains of
addiction to be broken because they are
in a struggle and they are going to
overcome now the good news is is that it
doesn’t matter who they are it doesn’t
matter what they’re struggling with it
doesn’t matter what their burden is they
overcome all in the same way by the
blood by the
blood by the
blood they overcame him by the blood of
the Lamb how are the sick set free from
Sickness by the blood of the Lamb how
are those who are in debt set free and
live in prosperity by the blood of the
Lamb how is a broken home restored and a
fractured marriage reunited by the blood
of the Lamb how do you recover from the
onslaught of the Enemy by the blood of
the Lamb they overcame by the blood of
the lamb and the word of their
testimony the blood of the Lamb has been
shed Jesus Christ has done his part the
price has been paid now it’s our job to
let the word of Our Testimony speak for
itself he did his part are you doing
yours he shed his blood he paid the
price your Ransom has been
delivered now are you
testifying or are you testing
him are you
overcoming or can you not get over
yourself you see in order to overcome
the enemy we’ve got to overcome
ourselves a lot of people say oh the
devil made me do it no you just like
it I’ve heard this statement and is very
true you can’t bind flesh you have to
crucify it
[Applause]
we wrestle not against flesh and blood
but against powers and
principalities you can bind and you can
loose powers and
principalities you can use the mighty
name of Jesus and those powers and
principalities have to submit because he
has the name that is above every name
but when it comes to your flesh and your
desire you can’t bind that you have to
crucify it you have to decide I’m not
going to do this anymore and go nail
yourself to that
cross oh I bind me no you can’t bind
you you have to crucify
it so if we’re going to overcome what is
it that we have to do we have to stand
on the word of Our
Testimony what is our
testimony our testimony was paid for
2000 years ago it is
finished that is the word of your
testimony it is finished is how you
pronounce to powers and principalities
that the things that they used to bind
you with they can’t hold you with
anymore because Jesus Christ has shed
his blood and now it is finished that
addiction is finished that way of
thinking is finished that old life is
finished because old things have passed
away way and behold all things have
become new who are in Christ Jesus do
you want to know what you should tell
the world it is finished you have
Victory through Christ the
lord when you read these words in the
Gospel of John it sounds as if Jesus
Christ is giving up and quitting but
that’s not at all what he’s doing he is
saying that everything has been
fulfilled every price has been paid
John 3:16 is being worked out before
your very eyes that God so loved the
world that he gave his only begotten son
that whosoever believes in him would not
perish but have everlasting life it is
finished it is a notice of eviction upon
every demon in hell that every yoke and
chain is now broken it is finished is a
declaration of independence for every
man for every woman for every boy for
every girl in every nation around the
world because whom the sun sets free is
free indeed it is finished the
impossible is now possible the Crooked
way has now been made straight the
mountain can now be cast into the sea
what you bind on Earth it is bound in
heaven what you loose on Earth it is
loosed in heaven child of God I’ve got
good news today it is finished Give the
Lord a hand clap of praise
[Applause]
you have to understand the power of that
testimony because any other testimony
takes the glory away from God and puts
it somewhere it doesn’t
belong God said in Isaiah my glory I
will share with no
one he’ll share everything with
you he gave his son that he could share
his kingdom
he gave you a new name that you could be
a child of the
king but when it comes to God’s
glory he said you want my power pray in
my name you want my presence Gather in
my name you want my Prosperity give and
it shall be given you want my glory
no because my glory I’ll share with no
one so what happens when we we don’t
understand the power of this
testimony the problem is is that we
begin to open up places for the enemy to
come in and do what he does read the
verse verse 10 it says the accuser who
has accused them before God day and
night he has been cast
down now understand this if the enemy
the devil Satan himself is accusing you
before God he’ll accuse you to
yourself and he’ll cause you to listen
to the accusations that he whispers in
your ear about
others we’re always suspicious and we’re
always accusatory of everyone why
because this is what the devil does to
divide
us and even when he’s in Heavenly places
he’s accusing you but here in this verse
it says he’s been cast
down so what happens whenever we choose
not to stand upon the fact that our
testimony is it is finished we open up
these doors that the enemy gets to use
against us why because we start to build
excuses in our
accusations we start to say things like
well you don’t know where I’ve come from
you don’t know how broken my home was
you don’t know what my grandfather
struggled with and what he put my father
through and what my dad did to me guess
what it is
[Applause]
finished so if it’s
finished why are you still carrying it
around
sometimes we don’t like it to be
finished don’t take away my problem I
won’t have anything else to talk
about but that’s not what the verse says
it doesn’t say we overcome him by the
blood of the lamb and the word of our
complaint it says by the word of our
what
testimony and the testimony is it was
nailed to a cross Hallelujah and we have
been set
free sometimes we don’t like
that and yet Peter wrote to the New
Testament Church he said cast all say
that with me cast all of your cares upon
him why he cares for
you we have a roaring
lion in this chapter that Peter writes
to the New Testament Church he says our
enemy is a roaring lion he wants to
distract you with
noise he’s a roaring lion seeking whom
he may devour he can’t just come and
devour he’s got to find those that he
can devour there’s a
difference why because you’ve got the
blood of the Lamb he can’t devour you
you’ve got to let him devour you and so
how does he do it he Roars and in the
roar you get
anxiety which is why it says cast all of
your
cares upon
Him you see when you start to worry and
care about something that you don’t
think God can handle you’re listening to
the Roar of the enemy and you’re taking
the glory away from
God I don’t think you can help me
overcome my past because the enemy is
roaring at me no no no no cast that on
him he cares for you hit the mute button
on what Satan’s doing
this is the joy of your salvation you
don’t have to carry it around you don’t
have to deal with it anymore you can
cast it on Jesus and he’ll carry it for
you this is what Ephesians says it is by
grace that you have been saved through
faith it is the gift of God you cannot
add to or take away from that gift it is
perfect all by
itself and yet often times we want to do
something to add to the requirements why
so that we can tell others what we did
you did nothing he did
everything sometimes we get so caught up
in the busyness of the day-to-day that
we forget to do the simple things in
life such as exchanging a friendly
greeting with our neighbors it is time
to be God’s love in action like the Good
Samaritan we are called to love our
neighbors as ourselves does your life
reflect his truth we are called to be
Salt and Light our actions and
Lifestyles need to reflect the light of
Jesus to those around us we are a living
testimony of God’s goodness if we are
not shining God’s love on those around
us then who will they turn to this month

ministry we’ll send you a special not by

or go to jhm.org
bread overcoming means that the
expectation is
Victory when you overcome you don’t
survive when you overcome you have
dominated your
opponent a lot of Christians think that
we’re in a 15 round fight and we’re just
hoping to make it to the
cards let’s see who wins in the
end no you’re supposed to win every
day why because this is the day that the
Lord has made let us rejoice and be made
glad in
it how do we
overcome we overcome by the word of Our
Testimony we overcome by our worship we
overcome by our service we overcome by
winning the Lost we overcome by
proclaiming the word we overcome by
praying always we overcome by going into
Heavenly places and pulling down
strongholds and loosing the power of God
to do what God wants on this Earth
because his kingdom will come and of
that Kingdom there shall be no end you
are more than a conqueror through
[Applause]
Christ often times we like to keep the
secrets of our success to ourselves
because they become the things that we
use to take advantage of situations I
don’t want to tell people how I made my
money oh I don’t want to tell people how
I got this job oh I don’t want to tell
people all of these details well let me
tell you there are times in life when
what you’ve got is just too good not to
share most of the time for us it’s
gossip sh don’t tell anybody which means
you’re going to tell
everybody it’s a prayer
request
yeah
if your prayer request is not about
you God
knows but the word of your testimony is
something that’s just too good not to
share it’s too good not to tell people
what Jesus Christ has given you the
opportunity to do it’s too good not to
let them know how you were lost and on
your way to hell but he came and he set
you free and now your name is written
down in the Lamb’s Book of Life it’s too
good not to be able to share with
someone how you have hope where you used
to be hopeless and how you have joy
where there used to be sorrow and how
you have strength in your weakness it’s
too good not to tell them that whenever
you call upon him he answers you and he
shows you Great and Mighty things that
you know not it’s too good not to be
able to say that whenever you wake up
you’re thankful that he’s given you
another day and whenever you lie down
you’re thankful that he’s been with you
every moment of every hour his angels
are still in charge over you his hand is
still upon you his promises are still
alive in you and his strength still
belongs to you because he is a faithful
God he is too good not to talk
[Applause]
about the problem is is the reason we
don’t talk about him more is because we
limit what his cross has
done we go to the cross and we think
there we receive salvation
exclusively that’s not all that happened
at the
cross everything that you have in your
life you got because of the
cross at the cross is where he took your
sorrow so that you could receive his Joy
at the cross is where you exchanged your
fear for his peace at the cross is where
you received his glory and he took your
shame at the cross is where you received
the riches of Heaven heaven and he for
your sake became poor at the cross is
where the burden of guilt was lifted off
of your shoulders and sickness was
shattered and you received Divine
righteousness and health and peace and
joy in Jesus Christ at the cross is
where the exchange was made so that now
you can do all things through Christ sin
has been defeated the grave has been
conquered you have been crowned a
champion Give the Lord a hand clap of
[Applause]
Praise so how does that work you’ve got
to start testifying about
it don’t just come to church and say
Lord thank you for my salvation and help
me get through another seven
days you start
testifying Lord because of what you gave
me when you sent your son to the cross
my business is going to
prosper
Lord because of what you’ve done for me
I am
favored Lord because of what you’ve done
for me I can’t help but succeed because
you promised that if in all my ways I
would acknowledge you then everything
that I do it would
flourish father I thank you that your
favor is on my family I thank you that
it’s on my heart I thank you that it’s
on my mind I thank you that it’s in my
mouth I thank you that it’s working in
my physical body whatever ever it is
that you’re struggling with today don’t
talk about the problem as if there’s
nothing you can do about it talk to the
problem about who’s already fixed
[Applause]
it whatever the burden is you can cast
it upon him why because it is
finished child of God if Satan would
have known what the cross would have
done he would have done everything he
could to keep Jesus off of it
but he couldn’t because Jesus himself
said if I be lifted up I’ll draw all men
unto me why are more people not
following Jesus on the Earth today
because those who should be lifting him
up
aren’t what do we need to do to lift him
up
testify tell somebody about him tell
somebody about him tell somebody about
him
it’s not enough to
celebrate on the
occasion rejoice in the joy of your
salvation you have a reason to Rejoice
every day you
breathe why because Jesus doesn’t just
save you on
Sunday it’s not occasional
coverage Heaven is not a times share
community
and yet we want to pretend like it
is you have a reason to
Rejoice because he has made a way where
there seem to be no
way you have a reason to Rejoice because
everything that the enemy intended for
evil he has taken and he has used it for
your good you have a reason to Rejoice
because your future is not determined by
your past your past has been covered in
the blood of the L and your future is
filled with nothing but the promises of
his
provision you have a reason to
Rejoice you say Pastor you don’t
understand no you don’t
understand people say do you see what’s
happening in the world it doesn’t matter
what happens in this world it matters
who’s sitting on the throne up
there they overcame him by the blood of
the
lamb and the word of their testim
the question that I have for you since
Jesus Christ purchased you in his
blood are you giving him the full
service he
deserves are you giving him all the
glory that he’s worthy
of are you giving him your heart soul
mind and
body are you testifying of his goodness
in your life are you constantly
complaining about what you wish was
different
you need to know something your behavior
either opens up God’s
blessings or it provokes his
wrath now people are always interested
in how they get God’s blessings but they
don’t ever want to consider that they
could provoke his
wrath but go read the word of
God in the Book of Psalms in the 78th
chapter it’s talking about the children
of Israel coming out of Egypt and how
they walked through the Wilderness and
it says they provoked
God how did they provoke him by doubting
him they drank from water that came out
of a rock in the midst of the desert now
that’s a pretty good miraculous drink
right
there and while they’re drinking they
say I wonder if he can feed
us have you ever been living in the
goodness of God and wondering what he
might be able to do for you
next instead of just saying God I thank
you for the water and whatever else you
have I’m going to accept that
too so they’re drinking the water they
say I wonder if he can feed us he sends
them Mana there’s not one sick or feeble
among them but after a few days of
eating the bread they said I wonder if
he can give us
meat have you ever had something that
was good and you thought I’m just tired
of
this God said fine you want meat here’s
quail and and the Bible says and while
the meat was in their
mouth he killed
them make you spit out what you’re
chewing
why because they provoked
him their doubt led to complaint and
their complaint led to his
wrath so understand when it comes to the
word of your testimony you really don’t
have a
choice because the consequences are too
dire you can either celebrate his
goodness or you can complain about what
you think he’s withholding and see which
one of those two gets you where you want
to
go he has paid for you such a high
price that it cost him his
life and allowing us to live he wants us
to use our life to give him the praise
and the glory and the honor that he’s
worthy
of is he getting what he paid
for can we
stand with your heads bowed and your
eyes
closed this morning you could say
Pastor he’s not getting what he’s paid
for I’m not standing in the victory of
the Cross I’m living in the pain of my
past
I’m not thankful for his goodness today
I’m complaining about what I’m worried
about
tomorrow I’m not standing in confidence
that I can do all things through Christ
I’m worried about what I can’t control
and it’s stealing my opportunity to give
him what he’s worthy
of if that describes you would you raise
your hand right where you
are hands all over this
room
so for just a few moments I want every
person in this room to raise their hands
and I want you to open your mouth and I
want you to thank God I want you to
testify to him before Heavenly places of
his goodness in your life those of you
who are watching wherever you’re
watching from I want you to begin to
give him praise and glory so that in all
of the Nations that are watching there’s
more than 30 that are online right now
we would begin a global praise break
about Jesus Jus Christ and what we
rejoice in in the joy of our Salvation
father today we thank you for the blood
of Jesus we thank you that it has set us
free we thank you that it paid the price
for our Redemption we thank you that we
have the permission to go into Heavenly
places and in the authority of his name
we can enter his gates with Thanksgiving
and his courts with praise we can open
our mouth and the Bible says that he’ll
inhabit the Praises of his people so
Holy Spirit of the Living God I’m asking
asking you to come into this Sanctuary
right now and I’m asking you to remove
burdens and I’m asking you to break
chains and I’m asking you to destroy
yolks by the power of the blood of the
Lamb so that once again the enemy would
be defeated so that once again powers
and principalities would know that they
have nothing on Jesus Christ so that
once again we would see captives set
free and be able to rejoice in the joy
of our Salvation Lord we give you all
the honor we give you all the glory we
give you all the praise because you have
made a way where there seems to be no
way you have given us the victory
greater is he who is in me than he who
is in the world because the one who is
in me is the one who created heaven and
earth so today in jesus’ name I am
declaring that this congregation is the
inhabitants of Jesus Christ’s throne
room and right now in this place ask and
you shall receive right now in this
place seek and you shall find right now
in this place knock and let the door be
opened unto you why because the blood of
the Lamb has paid the price and it is
