Enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus

"Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh, and having a High Priest over the house of God,let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water."

Hebrews 10 : 19-22 (New King James Version)


Draw Near ....Draw Near ...Draw Near ... These are the words that the Lord has placed in my heart to share this morning.

We CAN enter into His Holy Presence with boldness because we have been ransomed by the blood of Jesus Christ.

In our office we all carry id & access cards. When a security guard stops us or when we want to enter the building we show our id and swipe our access cards.
In a similar fashion, when the devil comes and stands before us and says "STOP !! you are worthless, you cant enter into God's presence...You cant call upon His Name..."
We need say "devil you are wrong !!!! I have access through the blood of the Lamb...Jesus Christ died for me and I am washed and cleansed by His blood....My id : He is my Father !! You dont mess with the Boss's kid !! "

God wants us to draw near to Him.... For those who are afar God is saying "Come ... Draw Near " For those who have entered God is saying "Come...Draw Nearer "

How should we draw near ? With a true heart in full assurance of faith ! Have Faith !! Dont let the devil trick us into believing things that are not true. Know who our Father is... Next , submit & surrender ourselves to the Lord and allow Him to have His way in us...That He will cleanse us... Not just our evil conscience but our bodies as well....

Want to know the best part ? The Bible says in James 4 : 8 "Draw near to God and He will draw near to you"... He doesnt let us do it alone...He comes to us...

I always picture this as a baby walking towards his father... As he takes the first few wobbly steps the father looks on...But the father just doesnt stay afar...As the baby takes his tiny steps towards his father, the father takes even more bigger steps towards him...he knows exactly when the baby is going to fall and when the baby does fall , he finds himself safe in his fathers arms...

Lets Draw Near

God Bless
