💛Born Of His Spirit, Washed In His Blood

By Michelle Hearst | Daily Bread Café For You

There is a profound truth every believer can hold: we are not simply children of circumstance—we are children of God, born of His Spirit and washed in the blood of Jesus. This is more than theology; it is a daily reality that transforms who we are, how we live, and the legacy we leave.

Born of the Spirit

Being born of the Spirit means that our identity is rooted in God, not in the world’s labels, expectations, or past mistakes. Jesus told Nicodemus:

"No one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit." — John 3:5

Spirit-birth is a radical, inward transformation. It shapes our desires, renews our minds, and aligns our hearts with God’s purposes. It empowers us to live beyond human limitations and to walk in freedom, joy, and authority.

• Identity over image: Our worth is defined by Him, not by performance or perception.

• Power over weakness: The Spirit gives strength where our natural selves fall short.

• Direction over drift: Spirit-led choices keep us aligned with God’s will.

Washed in His Blood

The blood of Jesus is the ultimate expression of God’s love, redemption, and grace. It is through His sacrifice that we are made clean, healed, and reconciled to the Father.

• Forgiveness: Every sin, shame, or failure is covered.

• Cleansing: Our past no longer dictates our present.

• Protection: Spiritual armor is applied, guarding us from the enemy’s schemes.

Being washed in His blood means we walk in victory, not defeat, and we carry the confidence that nothing can separate us from God’s love (Romans 8:38–39).

Living Out This Reality

To live fully as those born of His Spirit and washed in His blood is to embrace both our identity and authority in Christ.

• Speak life: Declare your freedom, healing, and purpose daily.

• Walk in boldness: Live unapologetically as a reflection of Christ.

• Love intentionally: Extend grace and forgiveness as you’ve received it.

• Remain surrendered: Yield to the Spirit, trusting Him to guide every step.

Practical Reflection

Take a moment today to reflect:

• Where have I been defining myself by the world instead of the Spirit?

• How can I intentionally live in the reality of being washed in Jesus’ blood?

• Who around me needs to see the freedom and power of a Spirit-born, blood-washed life?

Declaration

"I am born of the Spirit, washed in the blood of Jesus, and chosen for Kingdom impact. I walk in freedom, power, and divine purpose today and every day."
