Is pleading the blood of Jesus biblical?
Pleading the blood of Jesus” in prayer is a teaching that can be traced to some of the early leaders of the Word of Faith movement. When people speak of “pleading the blood of Jesus in prayer” they are referring to the practice of “claiming” the power of Christ over any and every problem by using the phrase “I plead the blood of Jesus over _______.”
amen , amen i had to share you answer with my coworkers , that really blessed me
Good answer, tbabi. I agree. It's more important that our hearts are right with God than any certain "words" we use. God always looks at our hearts.
I remember one time I felt under attack. It was shortly after I came back to God as an adult (I had grown up believing but never really understood what it meant to have a relationship with Him and had never fully committed to Him before), and was really seeking Him. I guess the enemy didn't like that. I felt attacked one night while sleeping and immediately began praying "Jesus, Jesus, help me!!!" That was all I was able to pray at the time, yet I felt an immediate release and calm that came over me. I felt like Jesus was right there by my side and felt His peace.
There is power in His name, yes, but we have to have faith and believe He is able and willing to help us. We can't just use His name like it's a magic potion if we are not living for Him, you know? I think it goes hand in hand.

There is power in the name Jesus, but Jesus is not a genie. You don't just go and ask for something and return doing the thing we plead God to deliver us from. I understand that some situations require miracles but I think that God wants us to act too. For example, if we are sick. Do we just pray and hope that God will deliver us or do we pray asking him for answers to why we are sick and exercise, and live healthy.
We need to be careful holding that idea that if I say a certain phrase God will grant my desires. If they are in God's plan for us it'll happen. It reminds me of Paul in 2 Corinthians when his prayer is not answered. "God knows how naturally subject to pride I am, so He has allowed me to continue to have poor eyesight, like a thorn in the flesh that I can't escape. Satan uses every opportunity he can to discourage me and beat me down, yet those experiences keep me humble and dependent on the Lord. Three times I've PLEADED with the Lord to heal me and return my full eyesight. I told Him I needed it to get around and could function better for Him. Each time He has said, 'My grace is all you need. My power is seen best through you when you're weak. When you're weak, that's when you're strong." So now, I am thankful for poor eyesight, because when I'm weak, I depend more fully on Christ. As strange as it sounds, I'm thankful for the insults, hardships, sufferings, persecutions and all the pain and difficulties I've had for Christ's sake. If people can see the power of Christ helping me through all these difficulties instead of seeing me, when I praise the Lord for all these trials. When I realize my own weakness, then I'm strong." 2 Corinthians 12:7-10...
Sometimes people think that my seeing miracles and wonders that God is working that there is good in those things but sometimes having certain situations, help us learn lessons and perfect our characters. So asking God to do it all to be is sooo far from what God wants and saying a slogan over and over won't do much if your heart is saying something else. There is much one must understand before repeating a phrase like that over and over. I think all it does is excite people into believing and to expect a miracle. But miracles don't happen often and we shouldn't expect that all the time.
I see these pleading the blood things on tv all the time with televangelists. Such scam artists and frauds. It saddens me the way they make God look. So much happens in this world that doesn't seem fair and even things in the Bible that doesn't quite seem fair but what I look to is the blessed day when Jesus returns to make everything right.
I believe what’s most important for us to remember during times of emotional distress and sadness is that this doesn’t mean God has forsaken us. It means only that, as with all fallen humanity, we will suffer in this life. Whether the suffering is our own fault or not doesn’t, in one sense, matter. What matters is that we, amid our suffering, do not let the evil one use our grief to turn us away from the Lord or make us bitter and resentful against Him. What matters is that we claim God’s promises of forgiveness, of healing, of a better future and a new life in a new heaven and a new earth.We all long for things to go well; we all long for a better existence, here and now. But often, given the nature of our world, that doesn’t happen or at least it doesn’t happen as we imagine we would like it to. Hence, how important that, amid whatever we are going through, we don’t forget the great hope that awaits us once the horrible experience of sin, suffering, and death is forever over. :)
