Expect a New Beginning
Exodus 12:2
This month shall mark for you the beginning of months; it shall be the first month of the year for you. - ERV
Hebrews 10:10 ERV
Jesus Christ did the things God wanted him to do. And because of that, we are made holy through the sacrifice of Christ’s body. Christ made that sacrifice one time—enough for all time.
The Blood of Jesus can give you a NEW BEGINNING TODAY AND EVERYDAY!
Lamentations 3:22-24 NKJV
Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. 23 They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. 24 “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul,“Therefore I hope in Him!”
Realize Your Exit Required an Excellent Sacrifice
A sacrificial lamb had to be provided so the promises of the blood could be activated
Exodus 12:3
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.
Exodus 12:5 NKJV
Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year. You may take it from the sheep or from the goats.
No one is exempt from needing a lamb if they are going to experience the life only the blood can give us.
John 1:29 NKJV
The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!”
1 Corinthians 5:7 NLT
…Christ, our Passover Lamb, has been sacrificed for us.
Ephesians 5:2
Live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ. He loved us and offered himself as a sacrifice for us, a pleasing aroma to God.
Exercise Its Power
Exodus 12:7
And they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and on the lintel of the houses where they eat it.
The blood must have the same place in our hearts that it has with God. From the beginnings of God’s dealings with man , yes, from before the foundation of the world, the heart of God has rejoiced in that blood. Our hearts will never rest, nor find salvation, until we, too, learn to walk and glory in the power of the blood. - Andrew Murray
You can’t expect the blessings of the blood of Jesus on your home without exercising the power and authority of the blood in your home.

(00:05) all right we're wrapping up this series with a message that I've entitled the blessings of the blood and it's interesting because I probably could do several months on the topic as I'm discovering we got to Genesis and then I would take you to the end and I would take you to the New Testament and we're not going to get out of Exodus folks but today we're going to look at Exodus chapter 12 Exodus chapter 12 and I'm just going to give
(00:57) you a summary uh of the story before before we jump in um before Exodus 12 Moses you might be familiar with the story he has nine confrontations with Pharaoh regarding the release from Egypt Moses is like Pharaoh let my people go and Pharaoh would say okay and then he would renig on his promise to do so and so after nine plagues and Pharaoh hardening hardening his heart each time there was a tenth plague and again this plague is directed against pharaoh and the Egyptians which was the death of firstborn males to protect the Hebrews God
(01:46) prescribed a special ceremony that we're going to learn about today called the Passover everybody say Passover Passover according to God's instructions Moses told each Israelite household told to select a one-year-old unblemished male lamb and to kill it at Twilight on the 14th day of the month of Nissan and then blood from that lamb was to be put on the door frames how many you know the blood doesn't do us any good if we don't apply it come on to our homes come on we can sing about the blood we can pray the
(02:24) blood we can plead the blood but if we don't apply the blood it's for not he instructs them to take the blood of the lamb and put it on the door frames of the houses as a sign to the Lord at each point the Israelites obeyed the Lord's commandments and uh the the event came to pass as it had been foretold and this is what was foretold the Lord passed over the homes that were covered by the blood if you look at Exodus 12:23 it says it did not allow the Destroyer to enter their houses but took the lives of the firstborn in all of
(03:05) Egypt including even the livestock I just want to stop here for a moment because a lot of times we think that it was God who killed the Egyptians and there's just this thought is that it says the destroyer in verse 12:23 he did not allow the Destroyer small D to enter their houses but took the lives of the firstborn in all of Egypt there is so often times that and I'm just going to speak this is a whole another message this is so often times the Judgment of God is mistakenly seen as something in which he applies his
(03:43) hand with anger when instead in most times God just merely lifts his hands from the merciful and benevolent protectiveness that is over Humanity all the time we'll ask ourselves the question how could God do such a thing when it's not God at all it's the consequences of our sin that bring judgment this is the power come on of the blood this is the power of Jesus's sacrifice that Jesus took our place and took upon himself the Judgment that was du us and this is why we live and then as we read on there was a
(04:31) great Cry of lament that went up from all those in Egypt and Pharaoh finally agreed to let Israel go today I want to talk to you about the blessings of the blood and the first blessing that I want to talk to you about is that you can have a new beginning you can have an expect a new beginning Exodus 12 verse 2 and again I'm just going to highlight some key scriptures as I just gave you the summary of what happens in TW in chapter 12 it says this month shall Mark for you the beginning of months it shall be the
(05:14) first month of the year for you so what I want us to understand is that this represented this ceremony represented like the new year for us like many of us go into the new year like Jan anuary on our calendar marks the time when everyone will start making New Year resolutions and goals and for many churches they'll get their word for the year in fact as a church we collectively come together this year it's going to be the seventh the eth the 9th and 10th we're going to have Bob Hazlet back with us Pastor 83 is going to be back with us
(05:52) Pastor Dave Patterson from The Father's House of Vacaville is going to be with us for our edify conference and it's this idea of it's a new year God what are you saying to us the blood that was shed on the Passover marked a new year and new beginning not just for an individual but for a family a community and a nation for Christians today our new beginning is not confined to a day a month or a year how many know you can't confine the blood of Jesus come on you can't constrain the blood of Jesus you can't
(06:33) constrict the blood of Jesus to just to a certain month of the year you can't contain the blood of Jesus Hebrews 10:10 says this in the English revised version says Jesus Christ did things God wanted him to do and because of that we are made holy through the sacrifice of Christ body Christ made that sacrifice I love this one time everybody say one time time enough for all time how many thankful that Jesus is more than enough so he dies One Time come on and it's enough for all time so what's that mean
(07:14) this is good news for you and I you don't have to wait for a new year come on to discover the new you and so many people even right now they're saying well you know when January comes I'm going to lose that 20 right when January comes I'm gonna I'm GNA start reading more books or when when January comes I'm gonna stop yelling at my kids whatever listen today you can have a new you the blood of Jesus can give you a new beginning today and every day Lamentations 322 to 24 through the Lord through the Lord's
(07:58) mercies we are are not consumed think about it through the Lord's Mercy Mercy is not getting what you do deserve that is Mercy come on Grace come on is getting come on Grace is getting what Mercy is getting what not getting what you don't deserve through the Lord his mercies we are not consumed because his compassions fail not they are new everybody say new they are new every morning great is your faithfulness the Lord is my portion says my soul therefore I hope in him so you can expect a new beginning to how many
(08:49) you know there is a there is not a new beginning that the blood can't buy it's for today and every day the Second Blessing of the blood is this that you have to realize your exit required an excellent sacrifice your exit required an excellent sacrifice in fact the book of Exodus come on points to the god of exits that's what it's about it's about the people of Israel exiting Bond the bondage of Egypt and stepping into the promised land realize your exit required an excellent sacrifice the 10th plague required a
(09:34) lamb for every household to be sacrificed and its blood painted on the doorpost in order for the plague to pass them over a sacrificial lamb had to be provided so the promises of the blood could be activated Exodus 12:3 let's look at this on the 10th of this month every man how many men every man shall take for himself a lamb according to the house of his father a lamb for a household Exodus 12:5 your lamb shall be without blemish a male of the first year you may take it from the sheep or from the goats this is what I want us to walk
(10:22) away understanding today no one is exempt from needing a lamb if they're going to experience the the life only the blood can give us look at John 14:6 it's not on the screens this Jesus said I am the way the truth and the life no one comes to the father except through me no one is exempt from needing a lamb how you know Jesus is our sacrificial lamb no one is exempt from needing a lamb if they're going to experience the life only the blood can give us you see many of us want an exit we want to exit Egypt
(11:06) without an excellent sacrifice what do I mean by that we want to do things in our own strength when I get my act together I'll start serving him how you heard that one before I don't want to disappoint God so I've got to get my life together and then I'll start coming to church and then I'll start serving come on how you know you're going to be waiting a long time this is why we need the grace of God in our lives we want to do it in our own strength secondly we want to do it according to our timeline instead of
(11:49) God's I hear this all the time when I get uh when I'm when I'm ready I'll get right with God when I'm ready how many of you know we don't know if we have tomorrow this is the this is the plain truth we think we have where we think we're on our timeline but how many know we've got to get right today we want to do it according to our timeline instead of God's and then lastly we believe the lie that the new starts with you just scroll social media and you'll see it if you work out
(12:32) enough come on if you eat good enough if you do this enough and that enough come on how many the how many know the problem is you'll never be good enough the problem in the equation is no matter what we do on our own it will never satisfy we'll always for fall short we'll always be be disappointed when we look to ourselves to be enough let me encourage you with this this will you allow the perfect lamb the unblemished lamb the Spotless lamb to save you from your imperfect life Jesus is enough will you stop trying to fix it
(13:16) and allow God to show you the exit through his perfect sacrifice into his love his grace and his Mercy you see some of us are continuing to pay a price for something that's already been paid for you see many of us want a new life without exiting an old lifestyle many of us want to be in a new place in life without exiting the old location how many you know come on the Israelites they had to get out of Egypt many of us want New Beginnings without exiting past experiences is listen there are no exits into the
(14:05) new that exist without a revelation of the excellent sacrifice Jesus made for you and I the Passover Lamb in the Old Testament again if we follow the Scarlet thread from the old to the new the Passover Lamb in the Old Testament points to Jesus the Lamb of God in the New Testament let's look at a few verses in other words today Jesus is our exit so we can close the door on our past but he's also the entrance to A New Beginning how many you thankful come on when God when God calls you to exit come on he's also asking you to step into
(14:49) something God required a lamb to be the sacrifice of imperfect people to receive his perfect love look at John 1 129 again following that Scarlet thread to John 1: 29 it says this the next day John saw Jesus coming towards him and said Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world who takes away the sin of the world the Lamb of God who is the Lamb of God Jesus is our Passover Lamb 1 Corinthians 5:7 the Apostle Paul says this to us Christ Our Passover Lamb has been sacrificed for us how many how many you thankful come on
(15:41) that judgment has passed you over come on that you're not getting what you deserve but you're getting the undeserved grace and love of God Ephesians 5:2 says live a life filled with love live a life filled with love how following the example of Christ he loved us and offered himself as a sacrifice for us a pleasing Aroma to God let me ask you this question what is your life filled with right now is it filled with regret or filled with Redemption is it filled with remorse or is it filled with remission is it filled with relational
(16:35) Brokenness or is it filled with reconciliation you see your best life will always be found in the laning down of your life think about it for a moment we try to hold on we're trying to keep it together but the Lord says no no those who lose their life will find it the best life will always be found in the laying down of Our Lives sacrifice and surrender is the pathway to seeing God's promises come to pass in your life and the third blessing of the blood is this the third blessing of the blood is when we exercise its power
(17:30) how do you like to exercise when we exercise what it gets the heart pumping it gets the blood flowing listen it's no different with the blood of Jesus if we don't exercise come on we don't experience its power if we don't exercise we don't experience it its Authority in our lives Exodus 12:7 says this they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and on the lintel of the houses where they eat it how many know we have to apply it I found this in my studies about putting the blood on the
(18:19) doorposts remember Exodus 12 takes place in Egypt if you didn't know so there's something about the Egyptian culture that is important to understanding this story Egyptian royalty and nobility nobility built great Stone monuments if you've ever if you've ever seen the you know the pyramids and things like that but even if you go uh into ancient Israel or you travel to Greece you'll see Big Stone monuments with names engraved in the stone and it was no different in Egypt in these great monuments they would etch their name in
(18:59) as many places as possible those who are not as wealthy or slaves like the Israelites who could not afford to do it what they would do in their houses which were primarily made of mud brick what they would do is that they would inscribe the name in mud over the doors around the doors of the people the names of the people who lived inside listen to this when God required the Israelites to paint the blood they collected from the Passover Lamb on the doorposts and lentils he was asking them to cover their names with the blood of
(19:42) the lamb and by doing this we were taught listen the importance and the power of the blood in our Salvation come on how many know we can apply the blood to our families come on we can call out their names the Israelites began their Exodus out of Egypt by putting the blood of the Passover Lamb over their names and they began their journey following God it's the same for us our path may be long and hard but we can avoid destruction the same way the Israelites avoid destru destruction by beginning our journey
(20:22) with our names covered with the blood of the Lamb amen the blood Andrew Murray said this the blood must have the same place in our hearts that it has with God from the beginnings of God's dealings with man yes from before the foundation of the world the heart of God has rejoiced in that blood our hearts will never rest nor find Salvation until we too learn to walk and glory in the power of the blood this is what we just experienced when Pastor Isaiah came with the transition we were glorying in the power that the
(21:11) blood still works come on did you sense what I was sensing this morning you see you can't expect the blessings of the blood of Jesus on your home without exercising the power and authority of the blood in your home praying and pleading the blood of Jesus let me say this should not be an emergency response for Christians did you hear about so and so oh we need to plead the blood right now no no you need to plead the blood before the emergency before the crisis praying and pleading the blood of Jesus should not be an Emer emergency
(21:58) respon response for Christians it should be an everyday expectation of knowing and understanding our blood rights as a Believer as I was studying that phrase just came up I I've never studied blood rights but the holy spirit said blood rights and so I looked up the definition of blood rights this is the definition I don't have it up there it's this it's a term that means that the inherent or the one who's to inherit something the in inherent has the right to certain things by the way of Heritage through the
(22:33) blood so let me give you some blood rights for believers we've talked about all of these things but I want us to confess them I'm Guaranteed Life Through the blood everybody say it I'm Guaranteed Life Through the blood Leviticus 17:11 we talked about that in the first message say this with with me I receive forgiveness through his blood let's say it I receive forgiveness through his BL Ephesians 17 you can look up these later for yourself or take a picture of the screen or they're in the U verion Notes
(23:12) I am redeemed through his blood let's say it I am redeemed through his blood I am made right with God by his blood let's say it together Romans 3:25 I am covered by The Blood let's say it I cover blood Psalm 79 ver9 my sin has re has been remitted by The Blood let's say it my blood I am reconciled by the blood Colossians 1 20 verse to 21 again I'm just listing the things that we've talked about the last couple of weeks I am cleansed by the blood everybody say I am cleansed Psalm
(24:16) 51:7 I have a new beginning through the blood begin I have an exit through the blood how many of you could use a new beginning this morning come on a fresh start you have an exit through the blood John 1:29 I have full access into his presence by the blood Hebrews 10 19-22 I am victorious through the blood I am victorious through the blood Colossians 2:15 and then I threw this one in here it's not on the screen I am healed by the blood BL Isaiah 53 verse 5 I can keep going and going and going but you should take these listen and you should confess
(25:19) your blood rights as a Believer these are the rights that Jesus has purchased for you and I in 2018 the racehorse justify was the winner of the coveted 2018 triple crown title for thoroughbred race horses I only watch one racehorse a year maybe and it's the Kentucky Derby I don't know anything about horse racing except for what I looked up when I found this out that means what what a Triple Crown winner means is that that racehorse has won the Kentucky Derby the pness stakes and the Belmont Stakes which only 13 horses have ever won the
(26:11) Triple Crown so it's rare what I found interesting is that this horse justify is a sixth generation descendant of the 1973 Triple Crown winner Secretariat who still holds the record of being the fastest horse 50 years later in fact when they did an autopsy on Secretariat the average horse's heart is 9 pounds the average race horse's heart is 9 pounds they discovered that Secretariat's heart was eight almost 18 pounds how you know that's some horsepower right there when I found that out I also found
(26:57) out that American pharaoh who won the Triple Crown in 2015 was actually the great great great grandson of none other than Secretariat so then that piqu my curiosity even more and I discovered that 10 in the past 10 years alone 19 different winners of 24 of the 29 Triple Crown Races traced back to Secretariat's bloodline this is what I want us to understand greatness was in Secretariat's bloodline how many of you know you are in the bloodline of a champion you are in the bloodline of Jesus Christ we are in the bloodline of Christ
(27:53) Jesus's pedigree is one of complete victory in every area of our life I know we kind of lose sight of that but how you know Jesus Paid the full price for your full Victory not a half Victory not a 2third victory but an entire victory in your life Jesus himself won the Triple Crown by defeating death hell and the grave he triumphed over hell and all the devil's works his blood opened up heaven and gives us boldness to come into the very presence of God it reaches Into the Heart of Believers and removes
(28:33) every guilt and sin and the blood of Jesus purges our Consciousness and silences the voice of the enemy Jesus is our champion this morning and when we apply the blood by faith we are activating the promises of provision protection come on and salvation or if you will pass over in my life Exodus 12: 12- 13 I'm going to ask the team to come it says this for I will pass through the land of Egypt on that night if you go to verse later in the verse you'll see it actually happening for I will pass through the land of Egypt on that night
(29:19) and will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt both man and Beast and against all the gods small G of Egypt I will execute judgment I am the Lord now the blood shall be assigned for you on the houses where you are and when I see the blood when I see the blood I will pass over you and the plague shall not be on you to destroy you when I strike the land I will pass over you can we just take a moment to just thank the Lord for passing over us because of the blood that he shed father we thank you we thank you Lord that the
(30:12) blood still works today and every day God you give us a new beginning through your shed blood God you give us the exit because of your shed blood you help us enter into the new place by your shed blood father we're thankful this morning for all that you've done for us and this morning I just recognize that we are in a season of harvest and there are people here that maybe you are far away from God maybe you don't know Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior maybe you don't know Jesus as your
