I was part of a prayer ministry with some wonderful people. Several people "claimed the blood" over several prayer concerns. That "claiming" sounded to me like an incantation - as if the blood had special properties that could be called on.
"Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins." (Hebrews 9:22)
In the establishment of the Day of Atonement, God explains the importance of blood: "For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it for you on the altar to make atonement for your souls, for it is the blood that makes atonement by the life." (Leviticus 17:11))
If Jesus had just pricked his finger, THAT would not have atoned for my sins.
Jesus had to give his life.
