Now inequity is a crookedness. Inequity, the word means literally twisted. You know, you see those wicker furniture, they have all these things twisted together? That's wicker. That's kind of wicked, you know and that's what inequity is. Inequity is the crookedness inside you. Inequity is not so easy to see, because inequity lies right through the strand of your being. In fact, inequity is in the family line, and God says that rather than kill people the moment that they commit sin, He'll let them carry inequity, or carry the consequence of it, through their generational line. So we have several things that the blood deals with. One, inequity, the crookedness that's in your family background, in your family line, specifically motivating you to then do sins, things that you're not even sure they're right or wrong, and transgressions - things you know exactly what you're doing, and you still did it anyway.

The root behind the whole deal is inequity, so inequity is like the lintel. Sins and transgressions are like the failures that we have on either side, some we know about and some we didn't know about. Some we did deliberately, some we just did it was a mistake - it was all a mistake, I didn't know! Listen, there's still an offering required for those things you didn't know. There's still a price to pay for the things you didn't know. Oh, this is a real problem sin then isn't it? What am I going to do? Because most of us think oh, we'll come out - somehow God will - I'll just say a little prayer to Jesus and it'll be right. No, no. There's a way that you apply the blood to your life, and there are areas of your life to apply the blood, and three areas to apply it are transgressions, deliberate violations where you know exactly what you did, and did it anyway; sins, where actually I did this thing, but I didn't realise I was doing it. You're still required to front up and own up and say you're sorry. I found a lot of relationships, people do things, and they don't realise what they did was wrong, but then they don't take any ownership either. God requires us to take responsibility for all three, and there's a remedy for the things that you own up to. The things that you don't own up to just remain in effect. Oh, well it's not a big deal, we'll just let it go. No, no, no. That's why so many Christians walk defeated. They've got so much baggage unresolved, and so much demonic stuff around their life, they can't seem to stay free, so God wants us to deal with the deliberate transgressions. He wants to deal with the sins of ignorance. He wants us all to deal with inequity, the thing that gets into our whole family line that's like a twist toward sin, and the blood is the remedy for all three.

Notice that Aaron had to confess all three. The blood deals with all three. Now you getting the idea? In Ephesians 2:1 it tells us - just to give you a New Testament context, Ephesians 2:1, it says you were dead in trespasses and sins. There it is. The word trespass is the word transgression, so He tells the same thing. Trespasses and - or transgressions - and sins, things you didn't know, things you did know, and did anyway. He said you were dead in sin in those things, but Christ, oh thank God that He's rich in grace and mercy because it says we were dead in trespasses and sins, walking according to the course of this world, under demonic influence, sowing and reaping havoc in our lives and we were without any hope, but Jesus with His goodness and grace helped us! Oh my! When you see what disastrous situations we've all been in and still face, how you'll appreciate oh the mercy of our God, and the blood that was shed! The precious blood! It is very, very precious.
