[25:54] And He it is Who has created man from the water, then He has made for him blood relationship and marriage relationship, and your Lord is powerful.

[75:38] Then he was a clot of blood, so He created (him) then made (him) perfect.

.............

[2:30] And when your Lord said to the angels, I am going to place in the earth a khalif, they said: What! wilt Thou place in it such as shall make mischief in it and shed blood, and we celebrate Thy praise and extol Thy holiness? He said: Surely I know what you do not know.

[2:84] And when We made a covenant with you: You shall not shed your blood and you shall not turn your people out of your cities; then you gave a promise while you witnessed.

.................

[2:173] He has only forbidden you what dies of itself, and blood, and flesh of swine, and that over which any other (name) than (that of) Allah has been invoked; but whoever is driven to necessity, not desiring, nor exceeding the limit, no sin shall be upon him; surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

[6:145] Say: I do not find in that which has been revealed to me anything forbidden for an eater to eat of except that it be what has died of itself, or blood poured forth, or flesh of swine -- for that surely is unclean -- or that which is a transgression, other than (the name of) Allah having been invoked on it; but whoever is driven to necessity, not desiring nor exceeding the limit, then surely your Lord is Forgiving, Merciful.

[16:115] He has only forbidden you what dies of itself and blood and flesh of swine and that over which any other name than that of Allah has been invoked, but whoever is driven to necessity, not desiring nor exceeding the limit, then surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

[5:3] Forbidden to you is that which dies of itself, and blood, and flesh of swine, and that on which any other name than that of Allah has been invoked, and the strangled (animal) and that beaten to death, and that killed by a fall and that killed by being smitten with the horn, and that which wild beasts have eaten, except what you slaughter, and what is sacrificed on stones set up (for idols) and that you divide by the arrows; that is a transgression. This day have those who disbelieve despaired of your religion, so fear them not, and fear Me. This day have I perfected for you your religion and completed My favor on you and chosen for you Islam as a religion; but whoever is compelled by hunger, not inclining willfully to sin, then surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

........................

[7:133] Therefore We sent upon them widespread death, and the locusts and the lice and the frog and the blood, clear signs; but they behaved haughtily and they were a guilty people.

.......................

[16:66] And most surely there is a lesson for you in the cattle; We give you to drink of what is in their bellies -- from betwixt the feces and the blood -- pure milk, easy and agreeable to swallow for those who drink.

........................

[22:37] There does not reach Allah their flesh nor their blood, but to Him is acceptable the guarding (against evil) on your part; thus has He made them subservient to you, that you may magnify Allah because He has guided you aright; and give good news to those who do good (to others).

THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB...........oilofjoyministries.com

What is the power of the Blood of Jesus? Understanding this will revolutionize your Christian experience and produce powerful results on a day-to-day basis. Beyond forgiveness, what does the blood of Jesus Christ mean to you? Knowing this simple but profound fact is everything that the cross and the gospel represent. Can you explain to me, to your family, to a coworker the value and virtue of the blood of Jesus? If you do not have any knowledge of what your redemption details, or even what your place in Jesus Christ is, then the devil can take advantage of your ignorance and lay upon you some heavy bondage of sickness, poverty or anything else that tickles his fancy.

The word atonement in the Old Testament meant a covering. Man’s sin needed to be covered because our Holy God cannot look on sin. Lev 17:11 tells us that “For the life of the flesh is in the blood; and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement of your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul”.

Now, let us look at the word atonement in the New Testament. It means, a change, a reconciliation from a state of enmity to one of friendship. We find that Col 2:14 tells us that God blotted out our sin; He wiped our slate clean. He did not cover it up like in the Old Testament. Let’s read Colossians 2:14, “Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross”. He removed all trace of our sin. He destroyed even the memory and knowledge of it. He chose to become unaware of it totally. Wow! What a wonderful God we serve.

However, as wonderful as this is, there is so much more that the Blood of Jesus did and continues to do for us. His Blood gives us continual protection as we apply it to our lives and the lives of the ones we love. The night before Moses was told by God to take the children of Israel out of Egypt to meet with God their Father at the base of Mt. Sinai, He asked the children to take an unblemished lamb, kill it and apply its blood with hyssop on the doorpost and lentils of their home. That night, the death angel came and destroyed the first born of all who had not applied the Blood of the Lamb to their homes.

This is a perfect example of what we are to do for our homes. Jesus is that perfect unblemished Lamb that was sacrificed for your protection. Have you drawn a Bloodline on all that belongs to you? Do you even know how to apply the Blood to your life?

Rev 12:11 tells us that the believers overcame the devil by the Blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony. Our testimony is like the hyssop that daily applies the Blood to our lives. We must take what the Word says about the Blood on a daily basis and apply it to the doorposts of our lives. We must declare before the devil, before God and before ourselves what the Blood does for us. In this way, the ongoing work of the Blood becomes a faith reality to us and we can live in the power of that Blood. We must declare the effective work of the Blood on our behalf.

The Devil is afraid of a Christian who sees the Blood in this manner. He knows he is dealing with a believer who has an understanding of his righteousness and one who is standing firm in his faith. In this way, the Blood becomes a spiritual weapon against the devil. It stops his most powerful tool of oppression. He has no ground of accusation in us because we are cleansed by the Blood.

What Rev 12:11 means is that we must testify to what the Word says that the Blood of Jesus does for us. We need to give this testimony on a regular basis. You must testify with your mouth to the power of the Blood and you must do it regularly, believe it and have that confident assurance in it. If you want to overcome the devil, stand on the Blood – and proclaim its power! Believers overcome devils that attack them by the use of spiritual weapons. The weapon used in this case is the Blood of the Lamb. Our testimony is the launching vehicle. When we plead the Blood of Jesus, it immediately pleads for us. It speaks mercy from the mercy seat in heaven where Jesus is seated with His Father.

Start applying the blood to your hang-ups, your bondages and those things that you just cannot seem to conquer. Call on the power and authority of Christ’s Blood when you are under enemy attack. His Blood will more than protect you. Don’t forget to thank the Lord for what He has done for you. He gave His Blood for you.

This is great stuff and I don't want to infringe on what you say because I believe it is so to the point. However , I would like to quote a few scholars on this particular verse. Their input is essential for a fuller grasp of these verses. I hope you don't mind?
Verse 14
Having blotted out the bond written in ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us: and he hath taken it out of the way, nailing it to the cross.
Bond written in ordinances ...
This is a reference to the Decalogue and to the entire Law of Moses. Widespread denial of this is ill-founded and inaccurate. Peake's skilled exegesis on this question is pertinent:
Distinction between moral and ceremonial Law has no meaning in Paul. The Law is a unity and is done away as a whole. For Paul, the hostile character of the Law is peculiarly associated with the moral side of it. The Law which slew him is represented by the 10th Commandment, and the ministry of death was engraved on tables of stone? F38
Written in ordinances ...
as in this verse, signifies the tables of stone inscribed by the finger of God. As Wallace pointed out, it is deplorable that "By omission of `handwriting of ordinances' the revisionists break this connection." F39 The words certainly belong as a sure testimony that the Decalogue is here indicated.

Taken it out of the way ... nailing it to the cross ...
These terms indicate the absolute cancellation and abrogation of the Law of Moses. Also, the fact should not be lost sight of that the heresy at Colossae was deeply involved with the Law of Moses, practically all of this chapter being particularly applicable to it.

The special application of this verse, as inclusive of the moral part of the Law of Moses, was discussed thus by Macknight:

The moral precepts of the Law of Moses are called the Chirograph, or handwriting of ordinances, because the most essential of these precepts were written by the hand of God on two tables of stone; and the rest Moses was directed to write in a book. F40
Sabbatarians make two profound mistakes: (1) in their understanding of the sabbath day commandment as in any sense a part of the moral law, and (2) in their insistence that the moral portion of the Law of Moses is still in effect; whereas nothing could be more emphatic than the New Testament declarations that the Law, not part of it, but all of it, has been changed, abrogated, taken away, nailed to the cross, etc.
38: A. S. Peake, op. cit., p. 527.
39: Foy E. Wallace, Jr., op. cit., p. 449.
40: James Macknight, op. cit., p. 534.
