Redefining Your Bloodline: The Power of Jesus’ Blood

Redefining Your Bloodline: The Power of Jesus’ Blood

By Dr Joel Dabbas 

“The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham…” (Matthew 1:1)
This genealogy is not just a list of names, it’s a message—a deep, spiritual message. When you read through the generations of Jesus, you’ll realize something profound: His bloodline was not perfect. No, it wasn’t a line of holy, blameless saints. It was a mixture—the good, the bad, and the ugly. And I want to talk about that today.

Listen, if you look at the genealogy of Jesus, you’ll see all kinds of people. There are kings like David, who wrote Psalms, but there are also prostitutes like Rahab, adulterers like Bathsheba, and liars like Jacob. There’s even a murderer like Manasseh. These people were far from perfect! But that’s the power of God’s grace. God is showing us that His redemptive plan doesn't depend on how perfect you are—it depends on His ability to make something beautiful out of your brokenness. That’s why the Bloodline of Jesus is a mixture—because God’s grace covers it all. No matter your past, no matter your mistakes, Jesus came through a bloodline that was messy. But because of Him, everything was redefined.

You see, the message here is simple: God chooses you in your imperfection. And no matter how ugly or broken your family line looks, God can redeem it. There’s hope for everyone because the bloodline of Jesus was not just about flawless saints, but about God’s ability to work through every situation and bring redemption.

Now, I want you to understand this next point:

The Babylonian Captivity: The World System

You know what else the genealogy reveals? It reveals that Jesus’ bloodline was in captivity in Babylon for years. Now, Babylon wasn’t just a geographical place. No, Babylon represents the world system—the system that tries to hold us captive, keep us in bondage, and influence our thinking with things like pride, greed, and lust. Babylon is what the world wants you to be, but it’s not what God created you for.

There are families today that are still in Babylon. They’re bound by the world’s expectations. They’re stuck in cycles of poverty, addiction, confusion, and broken relationships. Maybe your family has been in this kind of captivity—generation after generation, living under the influence of worldly systems. But I want to tell you today, that captivity is not your portion! The blood of Jesus has the power to set you free.

Jesus came into this world to break every chain of captivity. When Jesus stepped into the world, He didn’t just come to be born in a manger—He came to break the hold of Babylon over His bloodline. And because He did it for Himself, He is doing it for you too. Whatever generational curses, cycles, or bondages you might be facing, Jesus came to set you free.

Now, let’s go deeper. The most profound thing about Jesus’ bloodline is this:

Jesus Redefined the Bloodline

Before Jesus, the trajectory of every family line was pretty much the same: you’re born, you live, you have children, and that’s the end of your generational story. There was no major shift in how things were done. But when Jesus came, He broke the mold. He redefined His bloodline in a powerful way.

How did He do that?
He was born of the Holy Ghost. This wasn’t just a natural birth—it was a supernatural act. Mary, a young virgin, was overshadowed by the Holy Spirit, and Jesus was conceived. This isn’t just a theological point—it’s the core of the Gospel. The moment Jesus came into the world, everything changed. He brought a new bloodline—one that was no longer defined by human effort or natural circumstances. It was defined by the Spirit of God.

And here’s what’s so powerful about this: the moment Jesus redefined His bloodline, He didn’t just do it for Himself—He did it for all of us. He introduced a new way of living, a new bloodline that transcends our natural birth. This is the bloodline of the Spirit of God, the bloodline of faith, the bloodline of grace. When you are born again, you are no longer a part of the old bloodline that was under the influence of Babylon, or sin, or death. You are now part of the bloodline of Jesus Christ.

And here’s the thing, beloved, you can redefine your own bloodline.
The moment you accept Christ, your spiritual inheritance changes. The power of the Holy Ghost enters you, and your identity shifts. You are no longer bound by the limitations of your natural family line, your past mistakes, or the cycles that have plagued your family. In Christ, your bloodline is redefined.

Maybe there have been issues in your family—sickness, financial struggle, divorce, or addictions. You can look at those things and say, “In the name of Jesus, my bloodline is redefined.” You don’t have to accept those generational patterns anymore. Through the blood of Jesus, you have been grafted into a new bloodline—one of victory, power, grace, and supernatural breakthrough.

This is the beauty of the Gospel! It doesn’t matter what your bloodline looks like in the natural—in Christ, you are a new creation. The old has passed away, and behold, all things have become new! Your new bloodline is empowered by the Holy Ghost, and it carries the blessings, promises, and authority of the Kingdom of God.

So, here’s the declaration I want you to make today:

“I redefine my bloodline through the blood of Jesus. I step into the legacy of Christ, and I break free from the chains of the world, from every generational curse, and from every limitation. I claim my inheritance in Christ, and I declare that my life, my family, and my future will be marked by the power of the Holy Spirit!”

Conclusion:

Jesus’ bloodline was messy, it was captive, but it was redefined by the power of the Holy Spirit. Today, the same can be true for you. No matter where you come from or what your family has gone through, in Christ, you can redefine your bloodline. Step into the fullness of what God has for you and walk in the freedom, grace, and power of the Holy Ghost.
