“For you have not come … to darkness and gloom and whirlwind … BUT You have come to … THE SPRINKLED BLOOD THAT SPEAKS … ” frm. Heb. 12:18, 22a, 24b (ESV)
“SEE TO IT THAT YOU DO NOT REFUSE THE [ONE] SPEAKING” Hebrews 12:25
God our LORD was the first to reveal to us that blood has a voice … that He hears! (Gen. 4:10). On this side of the cross this is good news to us, to those who have believed into Christ Jesus (Heb. 10:19; 12:24b).
; k While it is so that we more or less know and believe the theology of the truth of the blood of Christ Jesus our Savior on our behalf, there is, I believe, a stern encouraging exhortation from Holy Spirit that we take hold of this truth in our hearts – of exactly ALL that the blood of Jesus has accomplished and so declares over us – and, this coming year, really go after believing this vehemently.
For this reason I…do not cease giving thanks for you, while making mention of you in my prayers; that the God of our LORD Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the [true, detailed] knowledge of Him, … what is the SURPASSING GREATNESS OF HIS POWER TOWARDS US WHO BELIEVE …” excrpt frm. Paul’s prayer Eph. 1:15-19 (NASB)
;lkThe world sits continually under the news cloud of darkness and gloom and whirlwind. But not so for those who have believed into Jesus, into KING Jesus! There is a surpassing Greatness of His power, of the power of the blood of Jesus, on the Highest Throne – in the blood’s finished work, in the blood’s ongoing and eternal work, in the authority and power of the VOICE of the blood of Jesus – unto us that is actually supposed to be a living authority from that Throne through us. It is an existing, present grace by Holy Spirit towards us, into which, I believe, we must step, in our believing, in a greater, even bolder, way than we have thus far, (Heb. 10:19; Eph. 3:12).
There is a separation, Beloved, that our Awesome God wants to make so distinctively clear before the eyes of the principalities and powers, both in the heavens AND upon the earth (Eph. 3:10), even, too, in the eyes of the world around us, as to the Liberty the blood of Jesus has set into us and through us in contrast to the sin and the gloom & doom outlook in and through the world. The distinction will come about increasingly as believers choose to come out from under the cloud of this world’s noise and dwell under the glow … ry of all that the blood on Heaven’s Holy of Holies’ MERCY Seat, the Throne above all thrones, is speaking, is declaring … with a Royal authority, and power to back it up, and hence will manifest, literally, through our lives on this earth. I believe it is imperative, as Jesus continually unveils and is being unveiled from the scriptures His resurrection/ascension/Throne-seated glory, that we, His redeemed and Royal Bride, go and grow, increasingly, augmenting exponentially, into this glory by faith, (Rom. 5:2b), by an active, even, I dare say to the precious timid saints, bold audacious believing (like Jabez – I Chron. 4:9-10) and Holy Spirit transforming work that literally begins to change our very … speech … the issues of life that flow out of our hearts.
“how much more will the blood of Christ, who through an eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?” Hebrews 9:14 (frm. NASB)
There is a conscience cleansing, from which we let the blood and Word wash us, that brings about a refreshing newness into our believing. That washing comes by giving our attention – our ears, our eyes, our heart’s focus (Prov. 4:20-22 with Col. 3:1-2 & Heb.12:22 ff) – to what the Blood of Jesus with joy speaks to us and over us, infusing us with faith and hope and love from Father through Jesus.
00But there is something more that we as believers need to give increased due diligence, because this will lessen, considerably, so much of the warfare that too many of you wonder if it will ever come to an end. There is a reference above to Proverbs 4:20-22. Turn to that passage, Beloved, and read the following verse, v23.
Here are different translations, which, in total, capture what the Hebrew text is exhorting:
Watch over your heart with all diligence, For from it flow the springs of life. NASB
Above all that thou guardest keep thy heart; For out of it are the issues of life. JPS Tanakh -1917
Keep thy heart more than anything that is guarded; for out of it are the issues of life. Darby
Above every charge keep thy heart, For out of it are the outgoings of life. YLT
Above all that must be guarded, keep thou thy heart, for, out of it, are the issues of life. Rotherham’s
There is, I believe, a tremendous amount of warfare being waged by believers because they do not do this one thing – “Above ALL that must be guarded, GUARD YOUR HEART!“ That which we let captivate our eyes and ears is that which fills our hearts … and then comes out of our mouths in our speech. We do not realize how cloudy, how muddy, even, we allow the pure water of the Spirit and Word inside of us, those rivers of Living Water from our bellies, as Jesus called it, (John 7:38-39a), to become in the mixture of this age’s gloom which we allow to be poured into our vessels, which even wars against our faith (our true believing), because of the attention we give to what the principle of sin is working in and through the world.
_ I am giving you wisdom here, Beloved: If you will give due diligence to guard your heart from the noise (news) of this world’s darkness and gloom and whirlwind, your “hearing” from the voice of the Blood of the Jesus will become clearer and louder in its still, authoritatively stable (and stablizing) voice.
_ How can we know this? It was shown at the beginning that God our LORD hears the voice of Blood (Gen. 4:10). If He has given to us His Spirit, and the Eternal Blood of Jesus placed on Heaven’s Mercy Seat – God’s very Throne – speaks, then His Holy Spirit inside of us, as one with our spirit, is more than able to hear, and thus cause us to hear, from that Blood to which God Himself is giving ear!
– Accordingly, the voice of the Blood of Christ Jesus our Savior, to which we give ourselves to increasingly hear, will bring about a manifestation of the victory – the authority and power – that Jesus won for us from His Cross, and consequently all that His blood is, right now, declaring and decreeing. While the world is in the midst of darkness and gloom and whirlwind, YOU will be in the light and joy and LIFE that Jesus’s blood was shed to always and forever grace-gift you for this life, (Prov. 4:18; Is 26:7). The River of Life inside your belly, unmixed, will become a fountain of Life through your lips, causing you to decree what you never thought you would because of the sudden boldness of faith the Holy Spirit inside of you has been waiting to breathe out of your breath since the day you were born again, (Pro. 10:11a; Col. 4:6).
And THIS, Beloved, is that to which we were destined from before creation … AND also for which the world is desperate to see, hear, AND experience.
Do not let the destractions of this age’s life cause your heart’s attention to refuse the One speaking – Heb. 12:25! There is revelation into a depth of faith from the finished work of the now Throne sprinkled and speaking Blood of our Savior that will take us into an almost radical place of believing God – His crazy, Awesome, exceedingly Amazing goodness that we have barely touched – way more than we have known or experienced. Go after this vehemently, Beloved! God’s Holy Spirit inside of you will open the scriptures, unveiling the mystery hidden in the old covenant and show you King Jesus in Resurrection-Asension-Throne seated Authority where your heart will burn with a fire of His weighty glory that will Awe you afresh. You will almost shockingly find effortlessly burned out of your speech that which carries no eternal weight … and your tongue excitingly sharing, to hungry hearts, what IS weighty … among believers AND unbelievers … and signs following to confirm that awesome goodness from so great a Divine Sacrifice that IS speaking!
The Year to Seek the Blood that Speaks
You’re Holy, Righteous, so very Clean, My costly redemption, your Glory’s Gleam. No more the power or voice of sin, The accuser’s been completely stripped.
You’re seated with your Savior/Groom, A Royal Bride, as One, to rule. On the Throne of Grace, Jesus – King, His blood poured out for His choic’d queen! So give eye and ear, heart’s focus to His Blood’s voice decree, Living proof, To abounding Love, Hope, and Faith, His Heart your heart’s anchor stayed.
Let this be the year to seek Christ’s Living Blood that always speaks, “GOD is GOOD all the time!“ … And all the time to me He’s good! Mark Dingemans – 12/16, 22/18
There is so much more to say. But the Cornerstone has been laid. Let your heart pursue Jesus for way more revelation concerning what is the eternal working, eternal decreeing of His speaking blood from upon the The Judgement/Mercy Seat of God’s Throne, from the Scriptures and Holy Spirit. I am also including here links to 3 Kairos letters written concerning Caleb, because this is where Father began some months ago to start indicating to me what He was going to say for this coming year. Caleb was a man that got the LORD’s attention very specifically, among a nation of unbelievers, all because of his speech! Let Holy Spirit breathe afresh into your faith, Beloved.

You are greatly Loved. Mark Dingemans

** – Beloved, take the time to go through these scriptures, and let the Holy Spirit write them and bear witness to them in your hearts and minds. Let the Word of God and the Blood of Jesus and the witness of the Holy Spirit who lives inside of you wash through you and renew your mind.

For those of you who have believed into Jesus; take communion often (I Cor. 11:23-26; Lk. 24:30-31a). Let communion be a refreshing of the Blood and the Spirit (Heb. 9:14) to cleanse your conscious from sin consciousness to righteousness consciousness, that you are indeed clean, as a gift of His grace. You are no more, Dearly Beloved, under condemnation; rather, you are under justification – eternally! (Rom. 4:25b, 5:21;b; Heb. 9:11-12). You will find the Holy Spirit of Jesus unveiling Jesus to you from the scriptures like you’ve never seen Him before.
If you have never believed into Jesus Christ, you can do so now, from your own heart and words. If you wish to help to pray, pray, “LORD Jesus, I believe You died for me and as me because You love me. I receive Your Forgiveness for my sin. Thank You for shedding Your blood to cleanse me, for making me clean, for breaking the power of sin in my life, for transforming me as a gift of Your Grace to me. I ask You to live inside of me. I thank You, Jesus, for giving me eternal life, that I might know You and Your Father, as my God, forever. In Your Name, LORD Jesus. Amen!”
kairos – (Kahee-ros’) – Strong’s concordance defines this word: “an occasion, I.e. set or proper time.” The Hebrew-Greek Key Study Bible (NASB) defines this word; “season, time, but not merely as a succession of moments, which is chronos,” [from which we derive the English word ‘chronology’]. “Kairos, however, implies not the convenience of the season, but the necessity of the task at hand, whether the time provides a good, convenient opportunity or not.” This must be understood. Strategic times of the Lord do not necessarily imply good or convenient times. We are in Kairos times. Maybe not good or convenient times, but definitely strategic, opportune times because of the season we are in. We must have “ears to hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches,” (Rev. 2:29), so as to respond correctly to the Kairos time.
