"That it's divine power in our individual hearts is too little experienced we must confess. But this is because of our unbelief. If it were not for this unbelief, the mere thought of being ransomed and cleansed by the blood of God's own Son would cause our souls to leap for joy and to overflow with love. Would not every exercise of faith in the blood cause the sense of the favor and nearness of God and the glory of deliverance from the curse and dominion of sin to flow through the soul? But, alas! We may hear and think and sing about the blood, while it exercises almost no influence over us. Even the very thought that the blood always manifests such wonderful divine power seems strange and unreel to many, and so no wonderful work is done in us because of unbelief. Our faith must be quickened to expect the all conquering power of the blood of Jesus. Even if a change in our feelings does not come at once, or any sensation of new blessing, let us commence in perfect quietness to fix our hearts on these truths of God. When the blood becomes effective through the Holy Spirit, it operates with the divine power either for reconciliation or union with God or sanctification. Let us believe and still believe and ever keep on believing in the infinite power of the blood. Such faith will not be in vain. Although it may not be in the way, nor at the time we expected, we shall be brought into a new in deeper experience of salvation through faith in the blood. Let us but seek with our whole heart to hold fast the truth: what the blood does, it does with a divine power." Andrew Murray
