Victory By The Blood - Pastor Matthew Woodward

·46 min·4 clips

Hell celebrated when Jesus shed his blood, but the cross was actually heaven's knockout punch to the devil.

The episode is a sermon delivered by Pastor Matthew Woodward at Capital Community Church, focusing on the theme of victory through the blood of Jesus. It begins with a narrative from 2 Kings 3, where the Israelites face thirst in the wilderness, and God provides water that the Moabites mistake for blood, leading to their defeat. Woodward uses this story as an analogy for the crucifixion, arguing that hell celebrated Jesus's bloodshed as a victory, but it was actually a divine triumph over evil. He references scriptures like Colossians 2:14 and Hebrews 2 to support the idea that Jesus disarmed spiritual authorities and destroyed the devil's power. The sermon then shifts to a detailed exploration of seven places Jesus bled: in Gethsemane for victory over the human will, before Caiaphas for inner wounds, on his back for physical healing, from his brow for mental distress, from his hands and feet for works and steps, and from his side for relationships. Woodward shares a personal testimony about Karen Jones, who experienced healing from cervical cancer after prayer, illustrating the practical application of Jesus's blood. Throughout, he emphasizes that the blood provides comprehensive victory beyond just salvation, covering all life's battles. The episode ends with an altar call, inviting listeners to step forward for prayer over specific needs, and a communal prayer session where the congregation prays for deliverance and healing in Jesus's name.

As heard by us

A wilderness sign becomes a sermon about the blood of Jesus reaching hidden wounds.

The sermon reads the red water in 2 Kings 3 as more than a battlefield sign. Israel and Judah take the wilderness road toward Moab, run out of water, and receive provision through Elisha's word.
