1 Ephesians 3:1-5 For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you Gentiles 2 if indeed you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which was given to me for you, 3 how that by revelation He made known to me the mystery (as I have briefly written already, 4 by which, when you read, you may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ), 5 which in other ages was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to His holy apostles and prophets: Israelites knew the works of God but Moses knew the ways of God. When we understand the way God operates, we can get our miracle. We are righteous because of Jesus blood. We are saints and not sinners because of His blood. We are the righteousness of God through the blood of Jesus. Every time God looks at me, He looks at the blood of Jesus. God has already figured every thing out. Jesus holds our future. True child of God always rejoices. If there is a depression in the body of Christ, there is no revelation of Jesus in Him. Old covenant is the law. We are Grace People based on the new covenant. Our duty is to know Him and to figure out what He has planned for us. Ephesians 1:16-18 I do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers. For I always pray to] the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, that He may grant you a spirit of wisdom and revelation [of insight into mysteries and secrets] in the [deep and intimate] knowledge of Him, By having the eyes of your heart flooded with light, so that you can know and understand the hope to which He has called you, and how rich is His glorious inheritance in the saints (His set-apart ones), If we don't find someone at the same spiritual level as you, we need to lead them to our level. This is essential else we might become self -righteous.

2 Mystery behind the blood of Jesus Your life has to be connected to the work of Jesus. Mark 4:11(AMP) And He said to them, To you has been entrusted the mystery of the kingdom of God [that is, a the secret counsels of God which are hidden from the ungodly]; but for those outside [ [b] of our circle] everything becomes a parable, If we want to be in the inner circle of God as we are children of the Most High, then we need to know the mystery of the kingdom of God. King of the kingdom is Jesus. When we set our mind to know Jesus, we need to pray. Without prayer, there is no power because Jesus prayed earnestly. In order for people to be changed we have to be in the Spirit. When we are in the Spirit, we experience the presence of God. 1. The Sprinkling of the blood is one of the mysteries of the kingdom. Every time you remember about Jesus, we can take Holy Communion As we understand the Holy Communion, power comes into you as it is the blood of Jesus. Hebrews 12:22-24(AMP) But rather, you have come to Mount Zion, even to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to countless multitudes of angels in festal gathering, And to the church (assembly) of the Firstborn who are registered [as citizens] in heaven, and to the God Who is Judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous (the redeemed in heaven) who have been made perfect, And to Jesus, the Mediator (Go-between, Agent) of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood which speaks [of mercy], a

3 better and nobler and more gracious message than the blood of Abel [which cried out for vengeance]. Every believers name is registered in heaven. You know you have experienced heaven, when we are touched by the power of God. Sprinkling of Blood of Jesus speaks of mercy. The blood of Sprinkling SPEAKS as we can see when Christians are killed, their blood speaks and we see more men of faith arising. Genesis 4:9-13 And the Lord said to Cain, Where is Abel your brother? And he said, I do not know. Am I my brother s keeper? And [the Lord] said, What have you done? The voice of your brother s blood is crying to Me from the ground. And now you are cursed by reason of the earth, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother s [shed] blood from your hand. When you till the ground, it shall no longer yield to you its strength; you shall be a fugitive and a vagabond on the earth [in perpetual exile, a degraded outcast]. Then Cain said to the Lord, My punishment is [a] greater than I can bear. Exodus 4:1-9 And Moses answered, [a] But behold, they will not believe me or listen to and obey my voice; for they will say, The Lord has not appeared to you. And the Lord said to him, What is that in your hand? And he said, A rod. And He said, Cast it on the ground. And he did so and it became a serpent [the symbol of royal and divine power worn on the crown of the Pharaohs]; and Moses fled from before it. And the Lord said to Moses, Put forth your hand and take it by the tail. And he stretched out his hand and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand,

4 [This you shall do, said the Lord] that the elders may believe that the Lord, the God of their fathers, of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, has indeed appeared to you 2. Christ is our Passover Lamb. He is the Lamb of God without blemish 1 Corinthians 5:7 Purge (clean out) the old leaven that you may be fresh (new) dough, still uncontaminated [as you are], for Christ, our Passover [Lamb], has been sacrificed. In the old covenant people were sin conscious and sacrificed a lamb for their sin. In the old covenant the blood of the lamb offered protection over only one year. In the new covenant, we are righteousness conscious. In the new covenant, Jesus became the prefect sacrifice and offers protection and blessings eternally Exodus 12:3-5 Speak to all the congregation of Israel, saying: On the tenth of this month every man shall take for himself a lamb, according to the house of his father, a lamb for a household. 4 And if the household is too small for the lamb, let him and his neighbor next to his house take it according to the number of the persons; according to each man s need you shall make your count for the lamb. 5 Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year. You may take itfrom the sheep or from the goats. John 8:46 Which of you convicts Me of sin? And if I tell the truth, why do you not believe Me? No one can convict Jesus of sin 2 Corinthians 5:21 For our sake He made Christ [virtually] to be sin Who knew no sin, so that in and through Him we might become [ [a] endued with, viewed as being in, and examples of] the righteousness of God [what we ought

5 to be, approved and acceptable and in right relationship with Him, by His goodness]. For my sake, God made Him the perfect Passover Lamb. Our talk, behavior should represent His righteousness 3. The Blood of Sprinkling is not for moment, but forever. Exodus 12:14, And this day shall be to you for a memorial. You shall keep it as a feast to the Lord throughout your generations, keep it as an ordinance forever. Exodus 12: You shall observe this rite for an ordinance to you and to your sons forever. When you come to the land, which the Lord will give you, as He has promised, you shall keep this service. Jesus word is a prosperity Gospel, not just wealth but also spiritual prosperity in the Lord. 4. The blood of Christ is the blood of the everlasting covenant therefore its potency is eternal Jesus made an everlasting agreement with us through His blood as it says in: Hebrews 13:20-21 Now may the God of peace [Who is the Author and the Giver of peace], Who brought again from among the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, by the blood [that sealed, ratified] the everlasting agreement (covenant, testament), Strengthen (complete, perfect) and make you what you ought to be and equip you with everything good that you may carry out His will; [while He Himself] works in you and accomplishes that which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ (the Messiah); to Whom

6 be the glory forever and ever (to the ages of the ages). Amen (so be it). 5. What does the blood of sprinkling speaking? Exodus 12:13 The blood shall be for a token or sign to you upon [the doorposts of] the houses where you are, [that] when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and no plague shall be upon you to destroy you when I smite the land of Egypt.
