Bible Answer: Strictly a modern Charismatic tradition ____________________ "We don't see any Christian plead the blood against demons in the Scripture. This is strictly a modern Charismatic tradition that was not taught by those who gave the teachings to the church." ____________________ 'On the subject of the blood of Jesus [Joyce Meyer] does say some things that are correct, but she also uses the blood in an unbiblical manner. She writes, “One of the ways we can honor the blood is by singing about it, talking about it, studying about it and meditating on it” (p. 100). Where does the Bible teach or even hint at such a thing, we don’t honor the blood apart from the person we honor, the person it flowed from. While it is good to study what the blood can do and the Old Testament types, she goes beyond anything the Scripture states. For example “I know the devil is afraid of the blood” (ibid., pg. 101).“We must learn to ‘use’ the blood” (ibid. pg. 109). She explains how she does it “My husband and I stay in various hotels because of our travels in ministry. Quite frequently when unpacking and settling into a hotel room I will ‘plead’ the blood or ‘put’ the blood on the room, to cleanse or remove any wrong spirits that may be there from other guests. I do this by praying, by speaking the blood in my prayer” (ibid., p. 111). 'This is wrong use of the blood of Christ. Jesus is our high priest who already applied the blood to our lives when we believed in faith on his Atonement that took place nearly 2,000 years ago. (Eph.1:7; Col. 1:14) We cannot apply the blood over anything. We do not handle the blood, our high priest Jesus does. It is applied to those who are recipients of salvation (Heb.10:19-22). His blood was applied only to those who have faith in the atonement of Christ for their SIN, not anything a. It has to do with our forgiveness and cleansing of sin and a guilty conscience, not to fight demons...We don't see any Christian plead the blood against demons in the Scripture. This is strictly a modern Charismatic tradition that was not taught by those who gave the teachings to the church.' ____________________ www.letusreason.org/Popteac17.htm |
