Remission defined in the King James Dictionary (KJD):
Forgiveness pardon that is, the giving up of the punishment due to a crime as the remission of sins.
Release discharge or relinquishment of a claim or right as the remission of a tax or duty.
Hebrews 9:22 And according to the law almost all things are purified with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no remission.
The Blood shed by Jesus by His own free will is what saved you and me and all who believe in Him and His Resurrection Power over all things living and dead.
The Blood is what makes Satan tremble and cower in fear.
The Blood is what covers and protects you from all harm.
The Blood is what set you free when you were guilty by the law and worthy of death.
The Blood is what gives you life, without it there is no life.
The Blood is the covering that allows you to personally enter the Holy of Holies to meet with God.
The Blood is what empowers you to walk in the Holy Ghost and testify of His Glory.
Romans 3:22 even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference;
23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
24 being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,
25 whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed,
1 Peter 1:18 knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers,
19 but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.
Revelation 1:5 and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth. To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood,
We have established the Resurrection power is in the Blood of the Lamb. Is that power within you? or...
Do you function in the power of your own blood, relying on it to give you strength, to fight off disease, and maintain you throughout your day?
To maintain your strength and stamina you feed your body two or three times a day and probably have a snack or two in between. If you have nourished yourself with good quality food then you feel fit and ready for what ever comes your way.
How would your body perform if you fed it a snack once a week and nothing else? Would you be healthy and strong after three weeks, maybe, what about three months down the road?
As humans we are made up of three parts, body, soul, and spirit.
The Body:
We have covered the bodies nourishment and consider it a given fact that everyone provides for their bodies needs.
The Soul:
Your soul is your mind, your will and your emotions. What do you nourish it with? Rap music, horror films, romance novels, daily news, and work projects? Your soul (mind) thinks like the world instead of like God. This is true because your soul (will) also determines your actions. We have all heard the saying that we are what we eat when it comes to the body. The same principal applies to our mind, we are what we fill it with or at the very least our thoughts and actions are determined by our mind. We react to situations based on what we know as determined by our mind. In the natural you would never ask yourself 'what would Jesus do' before making a decision.
Your Spirit:
Nothing is wrong with your spirit if you are born again; the life of God is in there. You are indwelt by the Holy Ghost. But you are hindered from living a spiritual life by a soul (mind) that thinks like the world instead of like God. Spiritual growth is determined by how much your soul has been changed by the Word of God.
Your soul is changed by what? The Word of God. Do you attend church once a week for an hour? This would be like a weekly snack on God's Word unless you read it every day in addition.
By reading God's Word, preferably out loud on a daily basis gradually brings your mind into Gods realm and out the worlds view when it comes to dealing with situations.
You know the answers to the questions I have asked here pertaining to your own personal walk with Jesus.
Have you spent enough time in His Word to know His voice?
Would you know that you were bought and paid for with the Blood of Jesus?
Would you know that the Blood of Jesus gives you the power to tell them to leave you alone? or...
Would your mind/soul be filled with only things of the world to draw on for this situation. Many things worse than the witches invitation could be just around the corner, will you be ready?
Get into to God's Word today and start nourishing the soul so you can be the warrior He has called you to be. In the days ahead you will need God's provision for your protection. If you refuse to spend time in His Word daily, getting to know Him and the sound of His voice, you won't even know what to ask Him for when you need Him most. He provides everything needed to walk through the things that are coming but only for those who know and abide in Him. Abide in Him with daily nourishment provided in His Word and become all you can be for His Glory.
