y are. This will
mean allowing the light of God to go through every part of our hearts
and into every one of our relationships. It will mean that we shall
have to see that the sins of pride, which God will show us, made it
necessary for Jesus to come from heaven and die on the Cross that
they might be forgiven. It will mean not only asking Him to forgive
us but asking others too. And that will be humbling indeed. But as we
crawl through the door of the broken ones we shall emerge into the
light and glory of the highway of holiness and humility.

CHAPTER 9
THE POWER OF THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB

The message and challenge of Revival, which is coming to many of us
these days is searching in its utter simplicity. It is simply that
there is only one thing in the world that can hinder the Christian's
walking in victorious fellowship with God and his being filled with
the Holy Spirit--and that is sin in one form or another. There is
only one thing in the world that can cleanse him from sin with all
that that means of liberty and victory--and that is the power of the
Blood of the Lord Jesus. It is, however, most important for us that
we should see what it is that gives the Blood of Christ its mighty
power with God on behalf of men, for then we shall understand the
conditions on which its full power may be experienced in our lives.

How many achievements and how many blessings for men the Scripture
ascribes to the power of the Blood of the Lord Jesus! By the power of
His Blood peace is made between man and God.[footnote 1: 1 Col. 1:20]
By its power there is forgiveness of sins and eternal life for all
who put their faith in the Lord Jesus.[footnote 2:Col.1:14; John
6:54] By the power of His Blood Satan is overcome.[footnote 3: Rev.
12:11] By its power there is continual cleansing from all sin for
us.[footnote 4:1 John 1:7] By the power of His Blood we may be set
free from the tyranny of an evil conscience to serve the living
God.[footnote 5:Heb. 9:14] By its infinite power with God the most
unworthy have liberty to enter the Holy of Holies of God's presence
and live there all the day.[footnote 6:Heb. 10:19] We may well ask
what gives the Blood its power!

To that question we need to link this other question--how may we
experience its full power in our lives? Too often that precious Blood
does not have its cleansing, peace-giving, life-giving,
sin-destroying power in our hearts, and too often we do not find
ourselves in
