TESTIMONY HIGHLIGHT
Let us read through these testimonies before we start to pray. May your own testimony also arrive speedily and gloriously to the Glory of the Lord alone in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
TESTIMONY 1: Last year Juicy July, one of the things I prayed about was clarity. Then, it felt like I had a very poor understanding of the things going on spiritually and what I had to do. Right from last year’s Juicy July up till now, God has been giving me clarity about things and the steps I need to take. It no longer feels dark and gloomy. I have an understanding of things to do spiritually and I have a better understanding of who God wants me to be.
TESTIMONY 2: I want to thank God for reversing the case I brought before him. Our sponsorship was threatened to be taken on Tuesday last week and was restored on Thursday. I am really grateful that God came through for my family
TESTIMONY 3: I want to thank God for Divine Provision today, the Lord provided for me miraculously today. Glory 🙌
TESTIMONY 4: I am so glad that on Day 4 of Juicy July, the Lord gave me an answer of peace on a particular decision that has put fear in my heart. I have been praying for provision all along, I had so many needs and I do not know where else to turn to for help. Loan is a no-no for me. I called home, I wasn’t really expecting any help.cos I know the situation. But just yesterday, God made a way, He provided for my needs, someone I had done a work for sent me a part of my pay without asking. The devil will not shut my mouth, God indeed answers prayers.
PRAYER
Praise the Lord for the testimonies. Ask the Lord to take all the glory for them. Ask that the Lord will glorify Himself the more in the lives of the testifiers. And that the Lord will give everyone heartily participating in the Juicy July Prayer programme great testimonies to the glory of His Name. Ask for your own testimonies also.
BATTLING WITH THE BLOOD
REVELATION 12:11 says: “And they overcame him by the Blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death”.
Sis, sing this chorus below with so much spiritual aggressiveness. I pray the Lord envelopes you with His power where you are now in the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Eje Jesu (The Blood of Jesus)
Iyebiye ni (Is precious)
Eje Jesu (The Blood of Jesus)
Iyebiye ni (is precious)
Eje Jesus (The Blood of Jesus)
Iyebiye ni (is precious)
Mo we ninu re (I swim in it)
Mo si mo laulau (I am wholly cleansed!)
When you are done singing the above, move to the song below:
Eje to ju eje lo (The Blood that is better than any Blood)
Eje Jesu Kristi (The Blood of Jesus Christ)
Eje to san ni Kalvari (The Blood that flowed at Calvary)
Ko wa tu mi sile (Come and set me free)
(Sing 7x if you know the song. Pray it in whether you know the song or not)
JESUS: THE WEAPON WE HAVE!
There are so many weapons available to believers in the Scriptures which we can use to combat the enemies at the gate and which will work so fast and well. For instance, we have:
- The Name of Jesus
- The Cross of Jesus
- The Blood of Jesus
- The Word of God
If you study the four weapons well, you will see they are all about Jesus! Jesus is the passcode to Heaven. If you are trying to gain access to the Kingdom in a prophet’s name or in an angel’s name, you would only be deceiving yourself. Only one person is that key which opens the door. That is Jesus! That is the only name, the only blood, the only righteousness recognised by the Lord God Almighty.
Jesus, entered the world by becoming fully human. He remains the only human who walked the face of the earth, fully human, yet without sins! His sinlessness is what sets Him apart from all humans.
In the Old Testament, animal sacrifices were offered to atone for sins. However, these sacrifices were temporary and symbolic. They couldn’t truly remove sin. Jesus, the Lamb of God, however came and offered Himself willingly on the cross. His blood—sinless and pure—became the ultimate atonement for humanity’s sins.
Hebrews 9:22 says, “Without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness of sins.”
So, if you need access to Heaven fast, you just sit somewhere and start knocking on Heaven’s door by His Name, His Blood, His righteousness, the Word- you will have access!
Jesus’ sinless life and sacrificial death provide the only way for us to be reconciled to the Father!
Today, we are looking at the BLOOD!
THE SIGNIFICANCE OF BLOOD IN THE SPIRITUAL
Blood is very important in the spiritual realm. In human history, people use blood for so much. The bigger you want to achieve, the bigger the blood needed. If someone needs a little promotion, he might be asked to bring a goat. The blood will be used to perform the ritual. If it is billions of money, he might be asked to bring a human virgin. If it is a big position of authority, like a nation, he might be asked to bring 7 virgins every month for 7 years. You know why? The demons need the Blood!
List of the Uses of Blood in the Spirit Realm
1. Oaths and Covenants: Blood is often used to seal agreements or pacts, signifying a binding and unbreakable promise.
2. Marital Sealing: Blood rituals may be used to bind couples together, believed to ensure lasting love and fidelity.
3. Provision and Prosperity: Blood sacrifices are sometimes offered to deities or spirits in exchange for wealth, resources, or success.
4. Influence and Power: The blood of animals or humans can be used in rituals to gain favor, influence, or control over others.
5. Health and Longevity: Blood rituals are believed to grant health, healing, or extended life.
6. Protection: Blood can be used in rituals to ward off evil spirits, curses, or harm.
7. Divination and Knowledge: Blood sacrifices can be part of rituals seeking wisdom, insight, or knowledge from spiritual entities.
8. Justice: Blood rituals may be employed to seek vengeance or justice against perceived wrongdoers.
The use of blood in these rituals is a counterfeit devised by the devil to mimic the true power and purpose of the Blood of Jesus Christ.
Each use of blood in the spirit realm is a distortion of the true benefits and blessings provided by the sacrifice of Jesus!
While the enemy tries to replicate the power of the Blood of Jesus through these dark practices, you cannot compare them at all! The ones the enemy does is dark and wicked and full of regrets, calamities and all. The Blood of Jesus is the only source of true spiritual power, redemption, and eternal life.
Unfortunately, the awesomeness and mystery of the Power in the Blood of Jesus, is not being emphasized in the church today. Many Christians do not know many things about victory in the battles of life through the Blood of Jesus.
Learning to claim the Power in the Blood of Jesus, is very important, dear sister. You suddenly feel an entrance of an evil into your leg, close your eyes and enter into Battle-mode, applying the Blood of Jesus with so much faith! Before you know it, the arrows will go back to the senders!!!
And no, you don’t need to keep buying bulls and hens and ram to offer. The Blood of Jesus cannot dry up nor can it lose its Power. It is ever flowing! Therefore you can plead it a million times, if you want to. The more you plead the Blood of Jesus, the more the chance of totally submerging the problem in the pool of the Blood of Jesus and gaining victory.
What does the Blood of Jesus do?
1. It gives protection before adversity strikes. It is preventive. When you wake up, you can dip yourself in it. When you receive a gift, you can dip it in it. When you are about sleeping, you can cover the whole house with the Blood. No evil would dare penetrate, sis!
You can plead the Blood of Jesus, over any and everything; your spirit, soul and body, your house, car, work, children, spouse, business, as a form of protection or prevention against evil. You can plead the Blood of Jesus over your journey, the road, the vehicle or aircraft, etc therefore making a boundary, against any evil.
2. It gives physical healing to the body. No matter what name is given to any problem, it will be solved when the Blood of Jesus is brought in. Also, if you keep pleading the Blood of Jesus, no matter how terrible an infirmity is, it will disappear by the Power in the Blood of Jesus. If your life is pure and you lay your hands on any sickness, pleading the Blood of Jesus, it will vanish.
You might wonder if it is really as simple as that but yes it is! That is the Power in the Blood of Jesus! If the blood of a young prostitute could bring a yahooyahoo boy millions of dollars, just think about the Blood of Jesus! The problem is that we lack faith! Oh, may God open our eyes to see the mysteries in the Blood in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
3. It gives emotional healing.
4. It gives mental healing.
5. It helps in battling dark Powers.
6. It helps in battling the adversary.
7. It gives financial healing: If you stand in front of your shop or house and plead the Blood of Jesus every day, you will find out that the Powers of darkness in that environment will dissipate.
I told you of a woman who had the powers of darkness visit her house, sprinkle blood around her house and after a few days of her seeing that evil sacrifice, her miracle pregnancy came down! How much more the Blood of Jesus! If you sprinkle the Blood around your properties, when the enemies come close, they must give way!
Dip your children in the Blood of Jesus. Cover your husband with the Blood of Jesus. Release your destiny and glory into the Pool of the Blood of Jesus- oh just believe, sis! Believe! You will see the glory of God!
8. It rescues us from the End-Time Attacks and influences’ As we are moving towards the End Times, we need to plead the Blood of Jesus, all the time. There are lots of tragedies and disasters all over the place. Too many Christians are being robbed or cheated or raped or murdered. Many are being hypnotized and confused. Pleading the Blood of Jesus, will give you immunity against these things.
A woman cried to my husband and I the other day lamenting that she was hypnotized to marry her husband. That a woman knelt before her and spoke with ‘afose’ to her and that that was how she married the man. Well, if you begin to arm yourself with this weapon, sis, you will win battles you never knew existed!
9. It cleanses: Jesus came to die for the sins of the world and His Blood was shed for us. You can claim the cleansing Power in His Blood and God will open a new chapter in your life. You are suffering from evil thoughts, plead the Blood over your mind. You are suffering from addictions, snatch yourself from the pull of the strongman seeking to destroy your soul by the Power in the Blood of Jesus. If there is any form of dirt or filth in your life or environment, the Blood of Jesus will cleanse them.
10. The Blood of Jesus serves as a disinfectant. Anything that wants to pollute, will not be able to get in. You should sanitize your life, your body, house, shop, etc. In fact, before you move into a new apartment or house or in fact, anywhere, you should sanitise it and the surroundings, with the Blood of Jesus.
11. The Blood of Jesus brings us deliverance: When you call the Blood of Jesus into operation, it causes the enemy to flee, because it contains the life of God. It sets people free from bondage.
12. Protection: The Blood of Jesus is our own charm! When the enemy throws anything at us, the Blood of Jesus neutralizes the effects of that thing and returns it back to the sender.
13.It is Life-giving: The Blood of Jesus revives anyone or anything that is dead. It could be marriage, finances, business, etc.
14. It is Yoke-breaking: Whenever you plead the Blood of Jesus, people and things are set free from any kind of yoke.
15. It ensures victory: The Blood of Jesus gives us the victory! When we enter into a challenge, competition, interview and so on in the Power of His Blood, victory is sure!
16. It possesses Door-opening powers: It possesses the Power to open every door that has been closed against good things in the life of a person.
17. It possesses creative and ‘re-creative’ Power: Anything that is supposed to be in the life or body of a person, or has been removed through surgery or witchcraft, can be recalled back into existence by the Blood of Jesus.
18. It has the renewing power: Is the love between you and your husband going cold, renew it with the Blood of Jesus! Probably the joy in your family is being erased and dying out, renew it with the Blood of Jesus! The Blood of Jesus is our own sacrifice!
19. It has Battle-dissolving Power: Oh yes! When the devil shall arise like a flood and you scream for the Blood of Jesus, the enemy has to flee! The enemies will go into disarray! And all they have prepared against us will be neutralized. People who are having serious issues against you will just surrender. They would lose interest in fighting you. They would start fearing you or seeking your favor again. The Blood of Jesus!
20. Poison destroying Power: Many have been poisoned physically or spiritually. The Blood of Jesus neutralizes such poisons and flushes them out of the system.
Oh yes, I can go on and on but what the Blood can do for us is non exhaustive. It is: Mountain-moving, Demon-paralysing, Virtue-restoring, Burden-removing, Bondage-destroying etc.
THE CONDITION FOR THE BLOOD TO WORK
The Blood was not shed in vain, dear sisters. You will be cheating yourself, if you do not use that facility! However, there is a small condition.
For the Blood of Jesus to work for you, you must get to know who the Lord Jesus is. You must be in a relationship with Him first.
You must surrender your life to the Lord Jesus. You must be completely yielded to Him and you must have a concrete relationship with Him.
You have a wonderful opportunity today, to invite the overcoming Power in the Blood of Jesus, to come into your situation.
If you are not born again and you would like to surrender your life to Christ, you can do so right now, right there where you are. All you need to do is see yourself as a sinner and know that you cannot approach God in your sinful state.
Repent of your sins; confess them to the Lord and ask Him to forgive you. Name the sins one by one, renounce them and decide that you will not go back to them anymore.
CONGRATULATIONS
I congratulate you for this decision that you have just taken; it is the most important decision in life, and I pray that it shall be permanent in your life, in the Name of Jesus. I pray that the Lord will uphold you with His hand or righteousness and you will not fall or fail in the Name of Jesus. I pray that the Lord will write your Name in the Book of Life and nothing shall by any means, rub it off in the Name of Jesus. You can register for the next edition of The Woman in His Steps Discipleship Course so that you can be discipled adequately for spiritual growth.
ROUNDING OFF
It will not be something good to hear, dear sis, that after the prayer today, the Blood of Jesus does not avail for you! God forbid! Rise up and make use of this Weapon sis to fight and win the battles of your life.
Check yourself very well. Are there issues in your life that can hinder the move or the Power of God in your situation?
Have you done or said something that you should not have? Are you relating with people that you should not? Check yourself. Are there some things that the Holy Spirit has been telling you are bad, but you do not want to listen? Begin to fix those areas right now, my dear sisters.
I pray that today, as you plead the Blood of Jesus, His liquid raw Power, will come upon your life and strange and marvelous things will begin to take place in your life. God will release all sorts of blessings upon your life today. Physical, spiritual, material blessings, marital and financial breakthroughs, will be released upon your life as you plead the Blood of Jesus into your situation in Jesus Name. Amen.
Now that you know what the Blood of Jesus can do for you, it is time you engage in these deliverance prayers using the Blood of Jesus as your spiritual weapon. As you pray these prayers today, I see God changing your stories and giving you unbelievable and humanly impossible testimonies in Jesus Name amen.

Provision of accomdation, and martial settlement in Jesus name. Divine connection for myself and siblings. That the lord should uplift my family in Jesus name.
– Please sisters, I’m not dropping this request to be known or seen but just that I feel it strong in my spirit to raise an altar of prayer in this regards and share with us. Yoruba’s will say, ‘Olórí ogun ni ogun ń dojúkọ ju’ it means (it is the one at the forefront– the captain of the battle is the most targeted). Yes Jesus is our Mighty Commander in this battle but He has put Mrs Yaks in position as His spokesperson, the devil won’t sit and watch his captives being delivered and do nothing! but let us pray that God Almighty who has called and ordained Mrs Yaks will build an hedge of fire round about her, keep her holy, pure and undefiled, strengthen her innerman protect her and her family. That all the attempt of the devil and his emissaries to get her off God’s side will fail woefully! Her children will be taught of the Lord such that the devil will not have a hold from their side. Her husband is protected and strengthened such that He constantly covers her and he himself is covered of the God of Host Himself. My sisters, I pray we receive insight and pray for her as much as we pray for ourselves even more than.
2. I received a message from my sister this morning and somehow I laughed because the devil chose a wrong time patapata. Here is the message. “I’m faced with health issues. If I don’t get pregnant before the end of the year, I’ll go through another surgery and the chance of getting pregnant again is very low” says the doctor.” Please join me in prayers that God’s word concerning her will stand and not the words of a mere practitioner (I mean no ridicule- they’re doing their jobs). She is currently facing rejection from her fiancé’s family which I know is not ordinary and the devil is suggesting something sinful and evil to both she and her fiance. I have declared my stand against such but help me pray that God will open their eyes, strengthen them at this point. Both of them seems weighed down by this and I know it’s the work of the enemy. Please help me pray that God will show Himself great and destroy every works of the enemy on this matter to the glory of His name.
NOW TO OUR PRAYER JOURNALS
Let us raise our prayer list to the Lord and tell Him all about our requests. Let us ask the Father in the Name of Jesus to turn those requests into testimonies for us according to His Will in Jesus’ Name. Let us pray fervently on them before we move on.
