Dedication and Appreciation

This book is dedicated to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, my heavenly Father, and my ever-present teacher and guide, the Holy Spirit. Without the Trinity of God, this book would not be possible. Without the plan that was established by the Trinity of God before the foundation of the world, there would be no hope. Thank you Trinity of God for the beautiful and successful plan that You implemented to save mankind.

There are so many people that have supported and encouraged me during the writing of this book. My husband, Tommy, for always supporting me and listening as I shared the revelations the Spirit of God gave me. My family: Cahn, Penny and Mackenzie; Amye, Derek, Jordan and Joeli; Josh, and my mom. Your encouragement and love has motivated me to allow God to finish in me what He had started. I thank Benji and Peck Mallory and everyone associated with the Fellowship of New Testament Ministries for their obedience to God to equip the saints. Without their faith in me and their teachings to me, I would have never attempted to write this book. To my church family at Faith Fellowship, I appreciate so much your attentive ears and spirits as I shared the teaching on The Circle of His Blood. You are a great audience and so faithful to encourage me. I also appreciate Robin Davis for so faithfully editing my writings and for her encouragement and friendship.

To all the other writers and authors that have studied the blood of Jesus over the years, I thank you. I think I have read every book on the blood of Jesus that has been published. Thank you for laying the foundation for me.

There are so many others that have been so supportive of me during these past three years and I appreciate all of you for having faith in me.

Introduction

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: According as He hath chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love: having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, wherein He hath made us accepted in the Beloved. In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace; wherein He hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence (the understanding of the mind of daily affairs); having made known unto us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He hath purposed in Himself: that in the dispensation of the fullness of times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in Him: in whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of Him who worketh all things after the counsel of His own will: that we should be to the praise of His glory, who first trusted in Christ. In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise, which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of His glory. (Ephesians 1:3-14)

What exactly does this mean? How does it relate to the subject of this book, the Circle of His Blood? God chose Jesus to be our Redeemer before the foundation of the world, before creation. The Trinity of God made the decision to adopt us into His family. Because of Jesus and His shed blood, we are redeemed and accepted into the family of God. It was a great mystery, and to some it remains a mystery. But to those of us that receive the revelation of the power that abounds in the blood of Jesus, it is utterly amazing and life changing. Let it sink down into your most inner being; God chose us, He picked us out for Himself even before the foundation of the world. He destined and planned in love for us to be revealed as His own children through Jesus Christ. This was His will for us, because it pleased Him. We have deliverance and salvation through His blood. He has made known to us the mystery, the secret of His plan and purpose. Because of Jesus, we were made God’s heritage and we obtained an eternal inheritance. We were foreordained, chosen and appointed beforehand, in accordance with His purpose. The Holy Spirit is the guarantee, the earnest of our inheritance. He is the pledge and the down payment. Jesus, being part of the Trinity, was well aware of the Master Plan of Redemption. In John 17:24, Jesus says, Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given Me, be with Me where I am; that they may behold My glory, which thou hast given Me: for thou lovedst Me before the foundation of the world.

So many teachings have been done regarding predestination and it has become an issue with many denominations. God never intended for predestination to become an issue. The only issue we need to concern ourselves about is the wonderful plan of redemption. God had a plan for us to be redeemed, to be brought back into fellowship with Him, even before the foundation of the earth. It was a plan that would be available to everyone, but the choice to receive or reject the plan of redemption would be up to each individual. God has never and never will force His will on anyone. The plan of redemption was established before Genesis, before the creation of Adam and Eve, before the fall of man. It was a plan of action, a plan of detail, a plan of timing. It was a complete and thorough plan. There were no loopholes, no room for error. There has never been and never will be a greater plan to save mankind. It was the Master Plan by the Master Himself. Acts 2:23 tells us that Jesus was delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, and was taken and by wicked hands was crucified and slain. God foreordained, He planned, and He pre-determined the event that took place at the cross.

The blood of Jesus was the divine craftsmanship of the Trinity of God and it evolved as a circle; a circle of redemption that began before the foundation of the world. The journey of that circle begins with the supernatural birth of Jesus, His ministry here on earth; it travels to the cross, the crucifixion of our Savior, the journey of the blood into the pit of hell and finally to the throne room of Almighty God. The plan, the mystery, the secret that satan did not know, was the cleansing blood of Jesus Christ that redeems us from our sins and guilt, bringing us into right fellowship with our Father God. Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in His blood, to declare His righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God. (Romans 3:25). Jesus became and remains our mercy
