Bloodletting

Bloodletting (or blood-letting, in modern medicine referred to as phlebotomy) was a popular medical practice from antiquity up to the late 19th century, involving the withdrawal of often considerable quantities of blood from a patient in the hopeful belief that this would cure or prevent a great many illnesses and diseases.

But it, in fact, often weakened or outright killed some of the patients this was performed on.

Usually the first sign that a woman has when she becomes pregnant is the cessation of her menses....her monthly shedding of blood stops.

If you want to know just how "pregnant" you really are with the Christchild, you will find that the desire to spill the blood of others will begin to wane if it has not completely stopped in you yet. For if the losing of blood continues in a natural woman who is pregnant, there is a good chance that she will abort the fetus, for the conditions for a healthy pregnancy are not present or perchance if the child is born, it may be severely deficient in some way.

There is only one thing that kept King David from building God a house; he was a man of war....he was a bloodletter. The 'man of war', the carnal man in us will never build God a house, a place for Him to manifest from.

When we grow to the place that we know no man after the flesh and grace enables us to see their true core of being, the Christ, what part of that Christ do we wish to pierce or wound?

Maybe some have been graced enough to refrain from bloodletting in their overt actions, but if we are truly honest, I doubt that many are always overcomers of this "Cain-killing-Abel trait" toward our brothers in thought.

Father if there is any bloodletting done, help our darkness to bleed the true life/light of your spirit.....wash us clean in your blood with the Love that loved us while we were yet sinners.
