I’ll never forget the summer of 2018. I was going through a really tough time in my life. I would wake up freaked out in the middle of the night, unable to move.
I could feel some sort of evil presence lurking in the dark corners of my room. My heart would be racing as I lay there terrified, wondering what was out there.
Then one Sunday, my pastor taught us about the power of Jesus’ blood. She taught us how to pray and ask for protection by the blood of Christ.
I put what she said into practice, praying those prayers she suggested every night before bed. And would you believe it – after about a week, that scary spirit left me alone!
I’ve never had that same eerie experience again since then.
I’m so grateful I learned how to apply the blood of Jesus during that season. It made all the difference in overcoming the dark spiritual attacks I was experiencing.
The blood of Jesus is powerful. His sacrificial death gives us protection and victory over the enemy. But how can you practically apply the blood of Jesus in your life today?
In this article, I’ll teach 8 keys from Scripture I applied on how to testify and plead the blood of Christ in your life.
You’ll discover how the blood redeems, cleanses sin, justifies, sanctifies, gives eternal life, intercedes, and provides bold access to God’s presence.
Equipped with these keys, you’ll be able to activate the supernatural protection and triumph that Jesus’ blood purchased for you on the cross.
1. Overcome Satan By Testifying to the Power of Jesus’ Blood

You overcome the enemy by verbally testifying to what God’s Word says the blood of Jesus has done for you.

Proclaiming truth is powerful. The blood of Jesus plus the word of your testimony equips you to walk in victory.
As you speak out and plead the blood of Jesus, you’ll experience breakthroughs in your life.
“No word of God is void of power. The blood plus the word is sufficient for total victory.”

2. The Blood of Jesus Provides Redemption From the Enemy
Ephesians 1:7 (NKJV) says:
“In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace.”

The blood redeems you out of Satan’s grip. You are bought back from the kingdom of darkness. You belong to God.
A sample testimony proclaiming your redemption would be:
“Through the blood of Jesus, I have been redeemed out of the hand of the devil. I belong to God. The enemy has no power over me.”
Declaring your redemption breaks the enemy’s hold. Any legal claim he has over you is canceled by the power in the blood of the Lamb.
3. The Blood Cleanses You From All Sin
1 John 1:7 (NKJV) promises:
“But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.”
