Michael D,
I do practice “pleading the Blood”, simply because I know that it was the Blood (more importantly than the cross it was shed upon) that has overcome every dark power. Demons CANNOT bear the Blood of Christ! They cannot stand against it; can’t look at it; and writhe at the mention of it! I have had some very interesting experiences by using this form of prayer. If you want to hear about it I will elaborate. Does anyone else on TT have any comments?

Agreed, the question, "Does it bring spiritual
edification and does it honor Christ" is vital. This is where the
Holy Spirit comes in the direct us when the Bible is silent. The
"argument from silence" is to be understood against making
"silence" a prohibition and condemning others when the Bible does not
do so. In opinions, liberty. WE ARE FREE TO DIFFER WHEN THE
BIBLE IS SILENT. The Holy Spirit might prohibit me from doing something
and not prohibit you from doing the same thing...AS LONG AS IT DOESN'T BRING
REPROACH TO THE CAUSE OF CHRIST. Michael D: Glenn and Izzy, I
have a question? If it is not in the Bible gives one the opportunity to
decide whether to or not to, yes. But should there not be other criteria in
deciding what to do in those situations? For instance, does it bring spiritual
edification and does it fit in with sound biblical principle? A good example is
the practice of ...pleading the blood of
Jesus... Personally, I can't find any ground for doing that in the
scripture, so I don't do it. My feeling is that it is of limited, if any use at
all. What I understand the scripture to be saying is that the blood of Jesus
has given us certain rights and priviledges, and absolute authority against the
enemy. Using the authority and enforcing those rights and priviledges are the
way I see the scriptureiate the value of the blood of Jesus, but just pleading
the blood doesn't seem to be accurate... What do you all think
