But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. —1 John 1:7
In the Greek language this verse actually means the blood keeps on cleansing us from all sin. The blood of Jesus doesn’t just cleanse us at our initial salvation. The blood keeps on cleansing us as we walk with the Lord in His light. This is why the blood “is speaking” and not “has spoken” (Heb. 12:24). As a result of what the blood is saying concerning us, we are progressively sanctified and made holy in our conduct. The blood is continuously removing any remaining sinful thoughts, ways, and practices. We are consistently being transformed into His image and likeness. This is because of what the blood is speaking in our behalf. Anything that would yet cling to us and claim a legal right against us is revoked because of the voice of His blood. Through faith and repentance we agree with this voice and see the powers of the enemy against us broken.
Prayer
Father, I come to You in the mighty name of Jesus. I thank You and praise You for who You are. You are so Holy, full of love and mercy. I exalt You above all. You are the great I AM! You mean everything to me. Let Your kingdom come and Your will be done in and through me and my family. You must increase and I must decrease. Lord, I come to stand before Your Courts. I thank You today for what Your blood is speaking over me. Thank You that Your grace empowers me to walk in the light as You are in the light. I yield my heart and being to You. I agree with the testimony of Your blood on my behalf. Thank You that anything that would seek to cling to me and shape me that is not from You loses its rights. Lord, I ask that these are revoked and removed by the power of the voice of Your blood and my agreement with it. Thank You that I am made in Your likeness and image and I am progressively reflecting Your glory. Thank You for protecting me and mine from all the attacks of the enemy. Your blood covers us like a shield and we are transformed from faith to faith, from glory to glory in the mighty name of Jesus Amen and Amen.

Now may the God of peace who brought up our Lord Jesus from the dead, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you complete in every good work to do His will, working in you what is well pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen. —Hebrews 13:20–21
We have a covenant with God through the blood of Jesus. As a result of the blood of Jesus and what it is speaking for us, we can be assured that He will never leave nor forsake us (Heb. 13:5). His feelings toward us do not change just because we are weak or even rebellious. Covenant means that He is committed to us and our generations to come. Notice in this Scripture, that because of covenant brought about by the blood, He will complete what He has started. He will bring us to maturity and cause us to be well-pleasing in His sight. He is dedicated to not leaving or forsaking us. He will finish all that He started concerning us and our generations. The blood is speaking for us and causing Him to remember us and His covenant with us.
Prayer
Abba Father, You are so Holy and only You reign over the whole universe. As Your kingdom is advancing and Your will is coming to pass on earth as it is in heaven. Thank You Lord for all Your doing in my life. I surrender to You my Lord and Savior. I worship You
Lord, as I come before Your Courts. I remind You of all that the blood of Jesus is speaking concerning me. Lord, I realize that what the blood is saying reminds You of the covenant I have with You through Jesus. I agree with what the blood is speaking. I take great confidence in belonging to You because of the blood of the covenant that secures me and establishes me as Your child. I stand before You as Your son/daughter because of what the blood has secured for me. I choose You Lord. Mold me and make me into the image of Your Holy Son on the inside. I want to walk pleasing in your sight. Thank You Father for hearing my prayer and for Your covenant promises I can depend on. In the mighty name of Jesus I pray Amen and Amen.

Now the blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you are. And 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 of Egypt. —Exodus 12:13
Even in the Old Testament based on the blood of the Passover Lamb, God promised to not allow judgment and harm come to His people. When all other houses were being touched by the destroyer, the blood of the Passover Lamb secured the houses of God’s people. Nothing harmful was able to touch them. We as New Testament believers actually have a better promise than they did. If the blood of an animal could keep destruction away from them, then how much more will the blood of the Lamb of God keep it away from us. As we by faith accept what Jesus did for us on the cross and receive His blood that now speaks for us, every destructive thing will not touch us. Though a thousand fall at one side and ten thousand at the other, it will not come near us. We must simply agree with what the blood of the Lamb now speaks for us. As we do, we are secured by the blood of the covenant. The blood is verifying and confirming in the unseen world that we are the people of God. No torment, peril, demon, or power has a right to touch us because of what the blood is saying about us!
Prayer
Heavenly Father, how great and awesome are You my God and King. You are Lord of all. I want to see Your glory! I want to know You more! Much more personally than I do. Open my spiritual ears and eyes! Make me more aware of Your presence in my life! I hunger for Your Holy Presence! I love You my Lord. Lord, as I stand in Your Courts, I thank You that the blood of Jesus is speaking over my life, family, and all I love, because of what the blood is saying in the spirit realm concerning me. I plead the Blood of Jesus over my family, my church families and I, spirit, soul and body. I thank You Lord for hearing my prayer and protecting us. We belong to You and we shall serve you and love You throughout all eternity. We are bonded together forever as one in a unity of love. Thank You Father for making us Your children! In the mighty name of Jesus I pray Amen and Amen.

Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus. —Hebrews 10:19
Our right to come before the throne of God and the Courts of Heaven is granted to us because of what the blood of Jesus is speaking for us. It is His blood that grants us access into the holiest of holies. In the Old Testament only the high priest had access into this place once a year. Now, however, because of what Jesus’s blood is saying for us, we have the right to enter this place of the Spirit. Anytime we come on the basis of what the blood of Jesus is saying about us, we can enter this realm. In this place, we find the confirming, accepting, and loving presence of the Lord. This is the place we were made for, and therefore intuitively desire. None of us are righteous enough in ourselves to enter this place. However, because of the cleansing, purifying, and redemptive power of Jesus’s blood we have access into this realm. As we come to this place, we can then enter our pleas and petitions before His throne and Courts and find mercy and grace for ourselves and others.
Prayer
My Father, Who sits on the throne of Heaven You are most holy and worthy of All praise, I worship You today as I come into Your presence with Thanksgiving and praise.
Lord, as I come before Your throne and Courts, I enter by the blood of the Lamb. I am only worthy to stand here because of what the blood of Jesus is speaking on my behalf. Thank You for receiving me based on the blood’s testimony concerning me and for Jesus’s sake. I yield my heart to You as I now stand in Your presence. As I stand in this holy place, Lord, I honor you and bring my pleas and petitions to You. Thank You that You hear me and answer my cry because of what the blood of Jesus is saying over me. (Pray what's on your heart).......

…to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel. —Hebrews 12:24
The blood of Jesus answers every accusation against us and our bloodline. In that the blood speaks, it is declaring and gives judicial testimony for us. When Cain killed Abel, Abel’s blood cried from the ground for judgment against Cain (Gen. 4:10–12). As a result of what Abel’s blood was saying, God passed a sentence against Cain. We are told however that the sprinkling of the blood of Jesus is saying something much better for us. Jesus’s blood cries for mercy, redemption, and forgiveness. His blood is speaking better things. As a result of the testimony of the blood of Jesus, God now has the legal right He needed to forgive us. His heart has always desired to forgive but needed the legal right to do it. We must simply repent and agree with the testimony of Jesus’s blood and receive the forgiveness granted us because of what it is speaking.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, I love You for who You are. You are Loving and Holy. You are Mighty and forgiving. You are my everything. I surrender my all to You and I thank You for Jesus, my Lord and Savior.
Lord, as I come to stand before Your Courts, I remind You of that which Jesus’s blood is speaking on my behalf. I thank You for the forgiveness that is mine as a result of what His blood says about me. I repent of any and every sin and ask for His blood’s testimony to speak for me. Thank You, Lord, that Your heart is always to forgive. The blood of Jesus grants You the legal right You needed to forgive me. I ask, therefore, that every accusation against me because of my sin would now be forgiven and removed. Thank You so much for Your forgiveness,redemption,mercy and love. In the mighty name of Jesus I pray Amen and Amen.

Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, “Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.” —Revelation 12:10–11
Not loving our lives to the death simply means that we are willing to sacrifice our own desires for God’s will. When we lay our lives down to do the will of the Lord, we gain new dimensions and places of authority in the spirit world. Jesus told His disciples they would be witnesses (Acts 1:8). This is someone who gives judicial testimony. It also, however, means martyr or those who give their lives for a religious belief or cause. This does not necessarily mean we die physically as a martyr. It does, however, mean we are willing to surrender our own fleshly appetites, dreams for our lives, and our own plans and purposes to His. This gives us a place of great authority and status in the Courts of Heaven. Heaven pays attention to our testimony before the Courts in a new way. The more we surrender and take up our cross and follow Jesus, the more we gain place and position to function from in the Courts of Heaven. This can only be done by and through the grace of God.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, You are The king and Ruler of everything and everyone. You are so Holy and perfect. Your ways are higher than man's and You know everything before it even happens. I submit my will to Your will. I need You to show me Your will for my life very clearly so I can follow after Your plan not mine. Lord, as I come to stand before Your Courts, I want to lay my life down. As best as I can through the empowerment of Your grace, I submit myself to Your will, desires, and purposes. I ask, Lord, that You would give me the grace out of my love for You to not love my life to the death. Lord, that I would be willing to wholly follow and serve You all the days of my life. Would You please allow this, to grant for me a place of authority and status before Your Courts? I want to know You more and be know more by You Father. Please forgive me of all sins known and unknown. Protect me and my family from all the plans and schemes of the enemy. And to You be all glory, honor, and praise. In Jesus’s mighty name I pray Amen and Amen.
