When did trusting in the blood of Jesus become a ritual of verbally applying it to everything we touch?

For generations, Christians have pleaded the blood over their homes, children, vehicles, businesses, and even church buildings. We anoint doorposts, windows, and furniture with oil, believing these practices invite protection, favor, and spiritual authority.

But where did Jesus instruct us to do any of this?

In this provocative episode of The Myrrhologist Podcast, Marissa Saint Luc examines the origins of familiar Christian practices and asks a question that might make the modern church uncomfortable:

Have we confused the finished work of Jesus Christ with religious rituals that appeal to our senses?

Through Scripture, personal testimony, and an examination of biblical atonement, we explore the difference between trusting in Christ's blood and treating it like a spiritual formula.

From anointing oil and supernatural favor to the subtle ways religious traditions begin to resemble the very practices Scripture warns against, this episode challenges believers to reconsider what they've inherited.

The blood of Jesus is not an incantation. His sacrifice is not something we must repeatedly activate.

And perhaps the greatest deception is convincing believers they must keep performing what Jesus already finished.

Stay in the Word. Keep your eyes on Jesus. And remember, inherited teaching isn't necessarily biblical teaching.

This is a harvest of the Word.

Every time you returned to Scripture, let it confront your motives, interrupt your traditions, and correct the understanding you once defended—you were tending the soil.

And while it looked like nothing was happening, roots were growing.

Grace is not permission to leave the weeds and thorns in charge. Let the Lord reveal what needs to be uprooted so that what He planted can bear fruit.

People may have planted. People may have watered. But God gives the increase—and no person gets to claim what belongs to Him.

When the harvest comes, share it with those who are hungry. Let what God has grown in you become nourishment for someone else.

Three Men. Three Spirits. One Warning.

Cain. Balaam. Korah. Why does Jude bring these three men into one warning?

One allowed jealousy to become hatred. One pursued spiritual gain at the expense of obedience. One challenged God’s appointed leadership while claiming righteousness.

In this episode of The Myrrhologist Podcast, we examine Jude 1:11 and explore a thematic connection to the unclean spirits in Revelation 16:13–14. These passages challenge us to look beyond appearances and examine the desires that make room for deception.

Where has jealousy shaped our judgment? Where have we confused profit with God’s approval? And where have we called our own rebellion righteousness?

Open your Bible with me. This warning calls us to examine our own hearts, too.

📖 Jude 1:11 | Revelation 16:13–14
