The Blood Still Works

“But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities:

the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.”

— Isaiah 53:5 (KJV)

There are moments in life when our faith is tested—when our bodies fail, when doctors don’t have answers, when uncertainty looms over us. But even in the midst of it all, God’s peace is ever-present for those who trust in Him.

I reflect on a season when my own health was in question. Blood in my stool, unexplained weakness, and uncertainty about my condition led me into a deeper place with God. Even when I lacked physical strength, my praise never wavered. In the stillness, I felt God drawing me into consecration—a place of surrender, trust, and peace that surpassed understanding.

On the day of my procedure, as I lay on the hospital bed, the doctor’s unexpected words—“Are we checking for cancer today?”—could have filled me with fear. But God had already assured me of His presence. I awoke from the procedure with a testimony on my lips: The blood still works!

The blood of Jesus, shed on the cross, was not just for salvation—for healing, restoration, and victory over every battle we face. If His blood had the power to redeem humanity from sin, how much more can it cover our struggles today? Whether it’s a physical ailment, emotional burden, or spiritual warfare, the blood of Jesus is still adequate.

As believers, we cannot afford to remain stagnant. A true encounter with Jesus transforms us from the inside out. If we claim to be called by Him, our lives should reflect His power, His grace, and His ever-working blood. Time is fleeting, and tomorrow is never promised. It’s time to get our spiritual houses in order, to surrender, and to live as evidence that God is real.
