In 1 Peter 1:18, Peter reveals to us there's a lifestyle handed down to us and our children by the mean of the blood.
He calls it "the useless (futile) way of life handed down (inherited) from your fathers (forefathers)".
If we inherit such evil things from the blood of our fathers and forefathers, we can only deal with it with the blood of Jesus Christ.
That's why Peter says, "you were redeemed...from the useless way of life handed down from your fathers, with precious blood, as of a faultless and pure lamb, the blood of Christ; -1 Peter 1:18-19
DEFINITIONS
Engaging the redemptive power of the blood of Jesus Christ is simply the taking hold of the authority and power available to us by the death and resurrection of Jesus. We engage the redemptive power of the blood by believing in our heart and confessing with our mouths the salvation and deliverance the blood has brought us.
Therefore, it is important to know how to plead, to claim and appropriate the benefits of the blood of Jesus Christ in our life because the power that saves is also the power that releases, delivers, and neutralizes the enterprises of hell and the weaknesses of the flesh.
This is the only way to enjoy its effectiveness in our life, our family and .

BELIEVE IN YOUR HEART AND SPEAK WITH YOUR MOUTH . . .
A soap is useful for you only if you apply it on your body. You don't use the soap once a week or once a year but everyday. If you don't use the soap the result is you will stink.
In the same way, we ought to apply spiritually the blood of Jesus everyday over and over our family, children, business and everything. How ?
- Believing in our heart and speaking with our mouths are important in enforcing our victory and authority
Romans 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Revelation 12:11 They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.
It is written in Exodus 12:7: "They shall take some of the blood, and put it on the two doorposts and on the lintel, on the houses in which they shall eat it".
In verse 13, God says, "The blood on your houses will be a sign for your protection. When I see the blood, I will pass over you. Nothing will touch or destroy you when I strike Egypt".
CONCLUSION
# Nothing will touch or destroy you . . .
# You and your family and whatever belonging to you are ever protected . . .
IM THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST ! ! !
