where does it read '"your property is covered with the blood of Jesus?

Hello Mblancett. I don't believe there is any verse that gives the phrase you're looking for. I suspect this desire or prayer came about when reading about God's Intervention in the lives of the Israelites when they were prisoners in Egypt. If you read Exodus 12:1-13, you may recall this account when the LORD would pass by every house in Egypt and all the firstborn (humans & animals) dwelling in those houses & property would be killed unless they had the blood of the lamb applied to the doorposts & lintel. Of course, the Israelites obeyed the LORD in this & were spared, but the firstborn of the Egyptians were killed.

Just as the blood of the lamb was required for Israel to be spared from death, so those 'in Christ' now are spared eternal death in hell, as the Blood of God's Lamb has been shed & applied for us - ever before our Heavenly Father as a memorial of His pardoning & securing our lives through Jesus His Son. Rather than 'covering our property with the Blood of Jesus', it may be better stated that we could, by prayer, consecrate our homes & all in it or all who visit it, for the Lord's keeping, protection, & blessing. That not only our homes, but our lives as well, may always exude the fragrance of Christ Jesus & be a blessing & witness to all who come near.
