I would be very glad for any one who can help me for specific detail search for the "blood of Jesus Christ" whether it may be mentioned in pronouns or in any forum in the new Testament.
Hi, Tes
Hebrews speaks the most on this topic. I used Heb 10.19 as the source verse for this study. This Search brings up relevant verses for study:
{Section <FigurativeLanguageType = Blood as Sacrifice>} also eating the flesh and drinking the blood of Jesus are used figuratively to refer to abiding with Christ Jesus. I used Jn 6.53 to find this Search in the Context Menu:
{Section <FigurativeLanguageTerm = To Eat Flesh and Drink Blood>} I hope this addresses your question.
Also, as a representation of the New Covenant this Search based on Mt 26.28 is useful:
{Section <FigurativeLanguageType = Blood of Jesus as New Covenant>}
Lastly, you may find this Search to be useful:
{Section <FigurativeLanguageType = Blood of Jesus as Death of Jesus>}
I used this: <Thing Blood> NEAR <Person Jesus>
There's a few false positives to sort through, but it's manageable.
In theory a clause search for thing:blood person:Jesus should find pretty much all of these. It does a fairly good job, but misses at least the following:
The tagging doesn't seem to be the problem, so I don't understand why the search doesn't work for these references. (Although the BWS seems to suggest that the Colossians passage is linked to God, not Jesus?) If anyone can shed light on that, I'd be grateful.
but misses at least the following: Matthew 27:4 Colossians 1:20 Revelation 19:12-13
but misses at least the following:
Did you only get 10 results? I only got 10 hits and was also missing: Ephesians 1:7; Hebrews 9:14, 10:29; 1 Peter 1:2, 1:19; 1 John 1:7; Revelation 12:11.
Also the communion passages would be important (in my opinion).
In theory a clause search for thing:blood person:Jesus should find pretty much all of these.
Concur with theory, but found a complex search has more results (albeit with some false positives)
(<Person Jesus> OR {Section <PreachingTheme = Atonement>} OR {Section <PreachingTheme = God: Grace>} OR {Section <PreachingTheme = Sacrifice>} OR {Section <PreachingTheme = Truth>}) INTERSECTS <Sense blood>
Keep Smiling [:)]
Let me clarify my motive. I am sick of those who always proclaim " I cover you in the blood of Jesus" . So, I want to defend the truth about the Precious blood of Jesus Christ with which I am redeemed,cleansed, sanctified, and interred by faith to the Holy place . A true believer is in Christ. He is where Christ is. If they think that they have the right to claim to do that then they should prove that they are from the tribe of the Levites and they are priests of the old testament not the priests of the new testament. They should mention the blood of animals not the precious blood of our Lord Jesus. This is my point. I know the rules of the Forums. I am not bringing it for theological discussion. but I am interested on resources. I just have mentioned it ,so that you may understand my direction of my search.

Did the answers given help? Or do you want more?
You mention that you are "interested in resources," which implies you want more than just how to search for the blood of Jesus in the New Testament.
Might be worth coming at it from a different angle like searching the systematic theologies in your library to see where conceptually this occurs. In my library R.T. Kendall says "I myself pray daily to be covered by the blood of Jesus" Kendall, R. T. (1996). Understanding Theology, Volume One (p. 267). Ross-shire, Great Britain: Christian Focus.
There are other similar references but as far as I can see he does not suggest that that this is something we can bestow on others.
Might also be worth seeing whether there is anything similar in the Church Fathers.
Good suggestion, but I strongly believe that the blood of Jesus Christ Deals with internal and from internal to external .Covering is not for some one who is in. cleansining,sanctifying, justifying are not external in the New Testament.The blood of our Jesus Christ brings us to relationship with God.
Not wanting to violate the forum guidelines, in similar situations where I had concerns about the theology and the origin of something that was becoming commonplace I found finding the origin of the thinking was a good start and in some cases Google provided a better start point than Logos. Having identified the Biblical passages from which support was claimed using Logos I was able to provide a proper exegesis of the verse in question in context.
I have heard the statement that concerns you many times, it is often used with good intentions but every explanation that I have been given has lacked Bible support.

Would you please elaborate it? I am not aware of your comments. What is the statement that concerns me?

I haven't understood what you mean. which has lacked Bible support.

I'm not Graham, but I offer this for your study:
Is Pleading the Blood of Jesus Biblical?
“Pleading the blood of Jesus” in prayer is a teaching that can be traced to some of the early leaders of the Word of Faith movement. When people speak of “pleading the blood of Jesus in prayer” they are referring to the practice of “claiming” the power of Christ over any and every problem by using the phrase “I plead the blood of Jesus over _______.”
“Pleading the blood of Jesus” has no basis whatsoever in Scripture. No one in the Bible ever “pleads the blood” of Christ. Those who “plead the blood” do so as if there was something magical in those words or as if by using them their prayer is somehow more powerful. This teaching is born from the misguided and heretical view of prayer that prayer is really nothing more than a way of manipulating God to get what we want rather than praying for His will to be done. The whole Word of Faith movement is founded on the false teaching that faith is a force and if we pray with enough faith, then God guarantees us health, wealth, and happiness and will deliver us from every problem and every situation. In this view, God is simply a way to get what we want instead of being the holy, sovereign, perfect and righteous Creator that the Bible reveals Him to be.
Those who teach this Word-Faith falsehood have an exalted view of man and our “rights” to plead what we want and get God to respond the way we want. This is in opposition to true biblical faith exemplified by Paul’s life and his approach to suffering and trials. Paul wrote in 2 Timothy that “all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution” (2 Timothy 3:12). But Word of Faith teaches that if we suffer or are sick or struggle with sin, it is because we do not have enough faith or that we are not pleading the blood of Jesus to claim what is rightfully ours. But we do not see Paul pleading the blood of Christ or claiming what is “rightfully his” when he was faced with trials and persecution. Instead we see his unwavering faith in Christ no matter what the situation: “I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him until that day” (2 Timothy 2:12).
Paul had “learned in whatever state I am in to be content: I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” (Philippians 4:11–13). Paul’s faith was in Christ alone, and he could say with conviction “the Lord will deliver me from every evil work and preserve me for His heavenly kingdom. To Him be the glory forever and ever, Amen!” (2 Timothy 4:18).
“Pleading the blood” as it is commonly practiced has more in common with mysticism—reciting a magical formula and hoping it works—than it does with biblical prayer. Saying certain words does not make our prayers magically more powerful. Furthermore, “pleading the blood” of Christ is not needed to defeat Satan. He has already been defeated, and if we are truly born-again, Satan has no power over us other than what God allows for His purpose and glory. Colossians 1:13 makes this perfectly clear: “For He has delivered us from the power of darkness and has translated us into the kingdom of His dear Son in whom we have redemption through His blood, the remission of sins.”
Rather than “pleading the blood” of Christ for protection or power, Christians should obey the command in James 4:7 “Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.” Rather than practicing an unbiblical model of prayer, we are to follow the simple precepts of Scripture—leading a pure life before God, taking captive all our thoughts to avoid giving sin a place, confessing our sins when we fail those first two precepts and putting on the full armor of God as outlined in Ephesians 6:13–17.
The Bible gives us numerous instructions in victorious living in Christ, and pleading “the blood of Jesus” is not one of them. We have been cleansed by the blood of Christ and He is our High Priest and mediator who “always lives to make intercession” for us (Hebrews 7:25). As His sheep we are already under His protection, we simply need to live day by day trusting in Him for what He has already promised and provided.
