Experiencing the Blood

We experience the blood of Christ initially and progressively.
But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ (Ephesians 2:13 ESV).
 All who have believed in the Lord Jesus have been brought permanently near to the Lord by the blood of Christ. This only happens once in your experience and you are forever near to Him.
Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus ... let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience ... (Hebrews 10:19, 22). 
The nature of our fellowship with God is that we are always approaching God by the blood of Christ. Sometimes due to current sins that would hinder our fellowship without the blood (1 John 1:9). Other times we experience the blood because of some growth in understanding of new light (1 John 1:7). And at all times our only "full assurance of faith" to come near to God is by the blood of Jesus.

There are many more details to talk about, but for those 5-minute times, here are my notes: 1) Pray for the people  The "burden of the word" (Mal 1:1) or the specific main word I get often comes through this. If I have no clue what to share on and I'm asking the Lord about it, the answer doesn't always come until I begin to pray for the people. More often than not, I'll be praying for the souls, and some Scripture or topic will come through that. Sometimes I already have the word, and I cannot tell when it came, but I know what I should share on. In your case, you may have a word already in your heart that has worked in you to get you to this point. Even still, you take the word and bring it to the Lord and pray for the people that will be listening. 2) Meditate and receive the word The largest par...
