One way God blesses His people is by the markings of the Blood of Jesus.
We can't be marked by the Blood of Jesus and end up as nonentities.
To Mark Means;
- To be set apart,

There is something unique/special about us and what didn't work for others will work for us,
We will not miss the markings of the Blood of Jesus in life's.
The Life Of The Israelites Before The Marking Of The Blood;
- They were maimed and killed.
They were under captivity and burdens.
