A man must have blood for life. Satan wants the blood, to terminate the man's life. By contrast, God always wanted a sacrifice of the blood of a lower life form than man to make a temporary atonement for his sins. 

"At one-ment" was purchased with blood.

Why did blood unify man with God? Because, life is in the blood. There is a cleansing performed by the blood. When the body is contaminated, it must be flushed by the blood. The blood in the system carries water, and life, and wisdom to the body. 

I do not know why Jesus' blood was required. Did God owe a debt to the devil? Surely not! Was it a show of authority? Jesus' blood was substitutionary. Jesus substituted His blood for mine. Moses said that life is in the blood. But when sin is commited, death ensues. The wages of sin is death. So our sinful blood is condemned. Even though our life was originally in our blood, sin condemned that life. Once, we had life in our blood. Now, we have DEATH in our blood. But since Jesus paid the death penalty for us at Calvary, we have LIFE in HIS blood. Get that into your heart. We have life in Jesus' blood! Not our own.

In Jesus' blood is the life of His spirit. His spirit is our life. Let me talk about the effect of His spirit on our lives. Consider these concepts with me.

Ultimately, the most devastating damage that Satan can inflict upon the Kingdom of God is to deprive the Kingdom of the Soul of a human. 

Satan cannot inflict damage to the throne. 

He cannot defile the streets of gold or the pearl gates. 

He cannot destroy the remaining angels. 

He can only operate in the earth realm. He is the ruler and the prince of the air. His strata is earth. 

He cannot destroy the earth, because God has reserved that for a particular time and place.

Satan's worst blow to the Kingdom of God is to deprive men of their relationship with God. 

Therefore, Satan and his forces are obsessed with overpowering men, by interfering with their communications with God, subverting men, lying to men, misrepresenting God by employing seducing spirits and false doctrines and a variety of supernatural means intended to deceive.

Meanwhile, God is the great, sovereign Spirit. 

He is the Holy One of Israel. He is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He is the God of visions, dreams, and angelic visitations. 

He is the God who covered the dry land with sea in His wrath in Noah's day, and then removed the sea and made dry land in deliverance in Moses' day. 

From Heaven He sent rain, fire, whirlwinds and bread. 

From rock He brought water, from wood He made snakes, from darkness He made light, and from dirt He made man.

Our God crippled Jacob's thigh, buried Korah's rebels alive, poured fire on Elijah's altar, lepered Miriam's skin, withered Jeroboam's arm, and turned Nebuchadnezzar into a maniac.

But He also made a baby in a ninety year-old womb, turned the Nile River to blood, sunk Jericho's walls, flew Elijah out on the Firey-Horse Airlines, walked three men through a fiery furnace.

He installed new eyeballs in the blind man's sockets, programmed the dumb man's tongue to speak the Greek language of the day, and enabled a crippled man's legs to haul his own bedroom furniture.

God put His Spirit on Noah to foreknow the flood. 

His angel foreknew Isaac by name, then held the knife off him on Mt. Moriah. 

His angel renamed Jacob to Israel, his Spirit put dreams in Joseph's head, and promotions in Pharaoh's heart. 

God's Spirit spoke to Moses in a tree-fire, and His angel visited death upon the Egyptian households. His fire lit the way for Israel's night travels, and His angel showed Joshua their battle plans.

God's Spirit showed Samuel the sins of the priest Eli, and the thoughts of Saul's heart. His spirit waited on David to arrive at Jesse's house, and filled Solomon's temple with glory clouds.

His Spirit revealed great future sights to Isaiah, Ezekiel, Daniel and Micah. His angel guided Zechariah and Elizabeth and Mary and Joseph. His star shined for the wise men, and his angels showed the shepherds' way.

His Spirit discerned Andrew's name, Zaccheus' desire, and the Samaritan woman's sins. His Spirit foreknew Judas' betrayal, Peter's shame, and Pilate's sentence.

His Angel announced his resurrection from the dead, and His Spirit transfigured Him.

The same Spirit spoke dozens of languages on Galilean's lips at Pentecost. His Spirit foretold Ananias of Saul’s name and address and sickness, and foretold Saul of Ananias' name and healing powers. 

God's Spirit told Cornelius of Peter's name, city, address, and landlord. Then told Peter that three men were on their way. His Angel assured Paul that the storm wouldn't cost his shipmate's lives, and unlocked the prison doors for Peter.

While God's Spirit has always brought life, and joy, and peace and comfort, and healing to those who were obedient, Satan's spirit has always brought panic and despair and tragedy to those who were obedient to him.

Satan's lies caused Eve to partake of the forbidden fruit, Cain to murder Abel and his parents cast out of the garden. Satan caused Noah's generation and Sodom and Gomorrah to be destroyed. 

Satan's spirits lead Balaam to his demise, filled Saul with a murderous heart, and deceived him at the witch of Endor.

Spirits of idolatry used Solomon's wives to destroy him, lured Jeroboam into rebellion against God, filled Ahab and Jezebel with wickedness and murdering.

Satan caused sin and sickness all throughout the history of man. Murder, hate, jealousy, strife, war, death in every form and fashion.

The witches and soothsayers of evil times deprived men of their relationship with God.

Pharaoh's magicians helped cause his hard, hard heart, and prevented him from believing Moses and the true power of God.

The idolatrous priests of heathen nations turned God's people's hearts away from him many times, and good never came of it.

The witch of Endor was terrorized when she realized King Saul had discovered her, because she knew that Saul's great God was much more to be feared than her own foul, demonic powers with familiar spirits.

The false prophets of Ahaz satisfied his itching ears, but Jeroboam knew that evil would come of it. While Jeroboam rejected their counsel in favor of a true man of God, Ahaz listened to their demonic advice, and was killed in battle that day.

The demons that possessed the maniac of Gaderra would have never given him rest, but Jesus' power and authority over them gave the man total release and soundness of mind. Meanwhile, the animals into which the spirits fled immediately committed suicide.

The demon in the boy child made him deaf and dumb till Jesus loosed him from them.

The unclean spirit of the young woman in Acts 16 would have deceived her forever as to the true saving power of the gospel, until Paul rebuke the spirit out of her and she truly believe the gospel.

The seven sons of Sceva did not realize the awesome destructive force of demons until they tempted them by lightly using the name of Jesus. They were rent sorely.

THERE IS NO SPIRIT OF ANY DIMENSION THAT CAN EQUAL OR COMPETE WITH THE SPIRITS OF GOD.

All Spirits of God are greater in power and force than the powers of Satan and the demons.

No man can ever have a relationship with demons that will anywhere compare with the wonderful effect of the Spirit of God on their lives.

I therefore stand upon the Word of God, protected by the Blood of Jesus Christ, authorized by His Holy Name, and empowered by His very Holy Spirit, and resist and rebuke every single spirit that is not of God. The Lord rebukes every power that comes against me and my family, in the name of Jesus.

I resist every devil around about me. I resist and rebuke every unclean spirit that attempts to influence, subvert and destroy my life or the lives of all my family members. I command the powers of spiritual darkness to be staid and stopped, hindered, bound, and defeated. I revoke every liberty they have usurped or arrived at in our lives. I rescind every permission he has found, and withdraw every liberty. I refuse to allow his continued activity in my life. I will henceforth be free to operate in the Spirit of God. I will walk uprightly and victoriously.

I stand firmly and adversely against every unclean spirit that occupies my territory in and around me. I also resist and defy every unclean spirit that might have any power at all against me. I resist every power on earth, or in the realm of darkness that might do harm of any kind to me and my family and my church, locally and around the world. I will not be a fool to allow Satan the liberties that he has occasionally taken with me.

I have absolutely no reason to fear Satan or any power he has beneath him. I will not be defeated by anything or any power he has at his disposal. I am a Jesus' name believer, and my name is in the Lamb's Book of Life, and I assert my rights, privileges, and authority against the enemy of my soul. I declare my freedom henceforth and forever more.

Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world.
