                          The Strategies of Jesus
                           How He Defeated Satan
                            “By His Blood!”
                             Part Two

TODAY
Jesus Stands Aside To Watch Himself Go By
Among the Lands, the Winds, Above the Seas!

Not only did the Father Yahweh God prepare a physical body
to deposit His Seed in, so that His Son might come to Earth to
do His will; but God knew that the life of the flesh was in the
BLOOD; and that “Without the shedding of BLOOD there is
NO remission for sin” Hebrews 9:22. Therefore, Father God
Sent His only begotten Son to atone for the sins of the world
as a sacrificial Passover Lamb without spot or blemish, in
order that His sinless BLOOD could be placed on the
heavenly altar as a New Blood Covenant that Yeshua made
once and for all! There is no more, or, any other sacrifice for
sin! And furthermore, there is only ‘one body’ of the Lamb of
God!!!

A BODY YOU HAVE PREPARED FOR ME
(Not Only When Jesus Entered the World)
This is one of the ‘Great Mystery’s’ of the Body of Messiah,
taught by the Apostle Paul’s revelation that was unveiled to
him by the Lord. Jesus is the Head of His own ‘spiritual
mystical body’ with many members (organs), each individual
member functioning in his or her on place within the Body
itself; “where there is neither Jew nor Greek, nor any color,
nor male or female,” stating equality in Him, but nevertheless,
we still physically do not lose our gender (male and female),
nor our position as such to one another; that we must
remember!

Now, as Yeshua is seated at the right hand of the Most High
God, and as His Father had “stood aside and watched Himself
go by in Him,” evenso, our Beloved Savior and LORD “stands
aside to watch Himself go by… among the lands, the winds,
2

above the Seas” in us, the Body that is prepared for Him.
Please notice that ‘watching Himself’ is singular, One Body
with many members! This means UNITY within its fellowship
of members. This is the reason Jesus said, “When you do it
unto one of the least of these My brothers, you have done it
unto Me” referring also, that we LOVE one another…”by this
will all know that you are My disciples, if you have LOVE one
for another” John 13:35. Unity, as one, in the home, between
man & wife is a priority, which is where Satan primarily
attacks! Keeping you defeated in the home, keeps you
frustrated and centered on yourselves, and off of Satan’s
agenda, instead of being about Your Father’s
business…manifesting the EVIDENCE of the Kingdom of God.
Jesus uses the Husband and Wife as an example to explain
His mystical relationship between Himself as the Bridegroom
and the Body as His Bride (taken out-of His side) already
betrothed to Him! This pictures the husband as the head of
the wife, his own body now that he loves and cherishes!
Surely we do not want to be a harlot!

The Weapon of The Blood!
“The great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the
Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast
out to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. Then I
heard a loud voice from 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 God day and night, has been cast down! And they (the
brethren) overcame him (the Devil) by the BLOOD of the Lamb
and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their
lives to the death’ “Revelation 12:9-11.

THE BLOOD
This passage portrays Satan cast down to Earth from his
position he held in the heavenlies, (as prince of the power of
the air) where he was able to accuse God’s sons and
daughters before God day and night…until ‘at the appointed
time’ the restraining Archangel Michael and his angels cast
Satan and his angels down to Earth; (where Satan no longer
has access before God as accuser) at which time Satan
enters the “man-of-sin” giving him his power, his throne, and
great authority. The vision is shown to John as the last end-
time three and one-half year
3

battle that the saints have to overcome. This warfare, as all
others, is against the Lord Jesus Christ…but since Satan
cannot get to Him personally, he wars against the members of
His Body. Satan is confronting, attacking the citizens of the
Kingdom of Heaven; this also includes National Israel being
the children of the true “Olive Tree!”

The primary weapon in this battle for the people of God
against the Devil is the BLOOD of the Lamb. The BLOOD of
Messiah, the Lamb, causes the children of God to prevail
because it covers all of the Enemy’s accusations and power.
Satan controls all humankind, he is a “blackmailer.” However,
the saints know they have been bought and cleansed by the
BLOOD of the Passover Lamb which has satisfied all the
charges against them, has joined them to God, and provided
them with every necessary provision to defeat Satan, as the
Lord Jesus did on the Cross of His victory. The BLOOD of the
New Covenant is the bond with the sovereign God that
prevents Satan from separating the embattled believer from
God’s eternal victory and complete resources SFB.

This Precious BLOOD cries out for mercy on the Altar in
Heaven! Its POWER SPEAKS, IT HAS LIFE IN IT, “IT IS THE
LIFE OF OUR FLESH!” The only Feast commanded by Jesus
for His Body to keep until He comes again…was the Feast of
Passover. “Take eat; this is My body that is broken for you; do
this in remembrance of Me. This cup is the “New Covenant in
My BLOOD;” This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance
of Me. For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup,
you proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes” In this Event only
victory was won! 1 Corinthians 11:23 seq. We are also
cautioned to examine ourselves…so that we are not found
guilty of the Body and BLOOD of our Savior.

What does it mean “proclaim His death?” Well, it was by His
death, the BLOOD of the New Covenant that defeated Satan!
And had Satan known it was his defeat, he would never have
crucified the Lord of glory! This is what it accomplished:
1)        With His own BLOOD He purchased me; 2) I am
justified by His BLOOD; 3) I am brought near by His BLOOD;
4) I have peace through His BLOOD; 5) I am purified with His
BLOOD; 6) I enter the Holy of Holies by His BLOOD; 7)
Everything is sprinkled for

4

     purification by His BLOOD; 8) He made all nations through
one
     blood; 9) and, without the shedding of His BLOOD there is
no
          remission for sins.

When Satan is cast down to earth, and because he knows his
time is short, the angel tells John: “woe to the inhabitants of
the earth and the sea; for the Devil has come down to you
having great wrath, because he knows he has a short time.”
He knows he has already been defeated Col 2:1415 by Christ,
he is relentless, struggling to retain claim on the Planet he has
lost. He enters the beast, persecutes Israel and those who
keep the commandments of Yeshua (the Great Tribulation).
He uses the resources of God’s creation to make war on the
saints…but God also uses His creation for combat. The two
witnesses are seen working God’s works as in the days of the
Exodus…using the word of their prophesying, TESTIMONY!
“Here is the patience and faith of the saints…He who leads
into captivity will go into captivity, he who kills with the sword
must be killed with sword. All who dwell on the earth will
worship the beast whose NAMES HAVE NOT BEEN
WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF THE LAMB SLAIN FROM THE
FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD” Revelation 13:1 seq.
    Those facing the cataclysmic travail of the last days endure
it with a constant statement of the overpowering BLOOD of
the Lamb (SFB) and of the word of their transforming faith in
Messiah, confessing with their own lips, possessing the
Kingdom’s spiritual power, violently taking it by force as the
weapons of their warfare, which are not carnal! (And the
violent take it by force, said John)!

Yeshua, Jesus Was Sent By Yahweh God
Jesus was “Sent” by God into this world for a divine purpose.
Yeshua did not take it upon Himself to come into the world. He
was called and commissioned by God. Jesus came KNOWING
He was Sent and KNOWING His calling John 6:38. Tuck that
word Sent into your spirit.

Man did not recognize the Lord Jesus. They rejected Him and
His claims of being the Son of God. They accused Him of
blasphemy, of having a devil, of being crazy John 10:20.
Because Jesus knew who He
5

was … He was not afraid of the opposition, the threats, the
attempts to kill Him. He continued to proclaim Himself…the
Son of God, the one Sent by God; He never wavered. One
time while walking on Soloman’s porch in the temple, the Jews
surrounded Him, asking:
   “How long are You going to keep us in doubt and suspense”
        If You are really Messiah, tell us plainly and openly”
John 10:24.
Jesus had already told them on several occasions:
    “I Am the living bread which came down from Heaven”
John 6:51.
    “If any man thirst let him come to Me, and drink” John 7:37.
    “I Am the light of the world” John 8:12.
    “Before Abraham was, I AM” John 8:58.
I LOVE THIS STATEMENT:
      “…I have told you so, yet you do not believe Me …you do
not
     trust Me and rely on Me. The very works that I do by the
     power of My Father and in My Father’s name (His
character) bear
     witness concerning Me…they are My CREDENTIALS and
EVIDENCE
     in support of Me” John 10:25.

Yeshua did not try to defend Himself, He KNEW who He was.
He needed no defense…the works that he did in His Father’s
Name were evidence that He was God’s Son. He was the
spittin’ (express) image of His Father. “He and His Father are
one” John 10:30. But when the Jews looked at Yeshua they
saw Him as a man. They saw Him as the son of Joseph, the
carpenter, from Nazareth. They knew God had promised the
Messiah would come, but in their minds they had an entirely
different concept of what Christ would be like and how He
would act. These limitations and preconceived ideas hindered
them from believing He was the Son of God!

The Powerful Strategy of KNOWING The Word
“That Is Not Blasphemy”
Yeshua, being accused by the Jews of “Blasphemy” because
He called Himself the Son of God; Jesus knew the word, and
He used it.
     “Is it not written in your law, I said, you are gods? Psalm
82:6…
     So men are called gods…by the Law…men to whom God’s
     Message came, and Scripture cannot be set aside or
cancelled
     or broken or annulled. (If that is true) do you say to Me,
     the One Who the Father consecrated and dedicated and
6
     set apart for Himself and Sent into the world, You are
     blaspheming, because I said, I Am the Son of God?” John
10:34-36.
This Scripture is God speaking to the judges of Israel: “I have
said,
you are gods; and all of you are children of the Most High”
verse 6.
God applied the title “gods” to the judges of Israel because of
their high and God-given office. He also recognized them as
“children of the Most High God.” (They didn’t go around
saying, “I’m a god,” you know).

Yeshua was, no doubt, amazed that these religious leaders
who regarded themselves as keepers and teachers of the Law
would consider His claim of being God’s Son as blasphemy.
They were expecting the Messiah! He reasoned with them
that since men who received the Word were referred to as
“gods,” how could they possibly accuse Him of blasphemy? If
the term “gods,” was applied to men by God Himself, how
much more, should He not apply it to Himself … since “He was
the Word made flesh and dwelt among us” John 1:1-12. When
He had answered this to them, they tried to seize and arrest
Him…but God delivered Jesus out of their hands. Now the
Lord faced this onset by KNOWING who He was and by
KNOWING the word …His testimony! Are we, you my precious
brother and sister in Christ “a god” to whom He has sanctified
(set apart) for Himself as John teaches us,
     “Now are we the children of God, but it hasn’t
     appeared (as yet) what we shall be, but when He appears,
     we shall be like Him for we shall see Him as He is” 1 John
2:28.
So now we have learned also …that when we are warring our
Enemy…
we KNOW too, that we are a ‘god’ in the since that He has
delegated to us the authority of His Word and we are His sons
and daughters, so stand your ground! What are we doing? We
are transforming our mind! In our next Lesson we will learn to
GET RID OF THE LIMITATIONS OF THE MIND that wars
against us. The TV programs may be our enemy!

O’ LORD Jesus, teach us to have ears to hear what the Spirit
is teaching us today. Let us experience Your Shekina Glory!
Let us truly understand that we, ‘Your Children,’ have been
Sent, and “You stand aside to watch Yourself go by!”
