Draw a Bloodline
Written by Sharon Wooden
Scripture: “Who shut up the sea behind doors when it burst forth from the womb, when I made the clouds its garment and wrapped it in thick darkness, when I fixed limits for it and set its doors and bars in place, when I said, ‘This far you may come and no farther; here is where your proud waves halt’?” - Job 38:8-11
These words demonstrate God’s authority to set boundaries, even for the mighty seas. Just as He commands the ocean, He also draws a line that the enemy cannot cross. This is echoed in Exodus 12:13, where God declares, “The blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are, and when I see the blood, I will pass over you. No destructive plague will touch you when I strike Egypt.”
In both passages, we see a God who protects His people through the establishment of a boundary—one marked by His power and, ultimately, by the blood of the Lamb. Satan may roar like the waves or strike like a plague, but when he encounters the blood of Jesus, he is stopped in his tracks. He cannot cross the bloodline that God has drawn around His children.
As believers, this truth becomes deeply personal. The blood of Jesus is not just a protective barrier; it is the very life within us. Through the sacrifice of Christ, we are not only covered by His blood but made new in Him. 1 John 3:1 reminds us of our identity: “See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God!” As His children, we have His blood flowing through our veins—His life, His power, and His victory.
When we face spiritual battles or feel the enemy advancing, we can draw a bloodline in the sand by declaring the power of the blood of Jesus. Satan cannot cross what God has established. Just as the Israelites were safe under the blood of the lamb, we are secure under the covering of Christ. The blood reminds the enemy that he is already defeated, and it assures us of our victory in Him.
Take heart today: the blood of Jesus surrounds you, covers you, and flows within you. In Him, no weapon formed against you will prosper. Stand firm, and when you feel the waves rise, draw the bloodline. Declare with boldness: “This far you may come, and no farther.” Satan cannot cross the bloodline.
