The Blood of Jesus is on the Door Post of My Heart

In the old testament of the Bible God sent plagues to Egypt because they would not let Israel go. One of the plagues was every first born child would die. But God told Moses to have all the children of Israel to put the blood of a lamb on the door post of their houses and the death angel would pass over them. So they did this, and all the ones that had the blood on the door post of their house the death angel passed over, but the ones that did not, the angel of death came in and took the first born child.

Today we wonder how this could apply to our lives. Well it symbolizes the blood of Jesus. When Jesus died on the cross He died for everyone that had ever been born, to every one that was already alive, to every one that ever would be born. He died for the entire world to cover a multitude of their sins. But He can't cover your sin if His blood is not applied to the door post of your heart.

How do you get the blood of Jesus applied to the door post of your heart? First you must realize that you are a sinner. We are all born into sin. Then you must confess your sins to God, ask Him for forgiveness. And mean it in your heart, you MUST have a change of heart for God to come in and apply the blood of Jesus to your heart.

But, once you do accept Christ as your Lord and Savior, accept that He died on the cross for everyone's sins, for your sins, and on the third day God rose Him from the grave. And you are a new creation in Christ and the old things passes away and all things become new. You will feel so much lighter, you won't be burden down by your sins and the weight of guilt you carry. And when the angel of death comes by the door post, he will pass over you because you have the blood of Jesus applied to your heart. Now, I don't mean you won't ever die, but I refer to the angel of death as satan, and on judgment day, satan won't have anything on you. "The hold the devil had on me, he ain't got no more."

My life in Christ is glorious. I have problems every day just like every one. But, I take my problems to the Lord, and He provides me with the answer, or the strength to carry on. We must carry on, we must carry on for Christ.

Update 10/23/14

To this day I will take my hand and pray for our house and safety by applying this bible story to my life today. I take my right hand and move it over the door post of my door, I start with the left side of the door at the bottom and go up then I go to the middle from left to right then I go to the right side from top to bottom. I know that me doing that doesn't put anything on the door, it's just a way of praying that I use, I don't actually touch the door just use my hand in the motion of the blood being applied to the three sides of the door. It's my way of saying The Blood of Jesus is Here, and for satan to leave me alone.
