Boldly Enter the Very Presence of God

Jesus, the High Priest, is the living way through whom you can draw near to God without hesitation. You are welcome to speak freely with Him by receiving Jesus' sacrifice, which forever has secured a personal and intimate access to God.

Through the blood sacrifice, Jesus, has destroyed the power of death and released you from the satanic bondage of the fear of death. In faith, take hold of that freedom knowing that Jesus is the author and finisher of our faith. Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

Go to Jesus when you are tempted and be strengthened and comforted, knowing that He understands being tempted and is able to help you. Welcome the conviction of the Holy Spirit through God's Word, understanding that conviction of sin is an expression of God's mercy. Conviction leads to forgiveness, which leads to freedom.

Learn about faith from the lives of the stories of the heroes of faith in the Word of God. Understand that faith is the confident assurance of what we hope for and the proof of things we cannot see. Look at nothing but Jesus, the one who began and will complete your faith.

I encourage you to read the book of Hebrews which beautifully reveals more of the wonder and majesty of Jesus. As you read this letter seek the revelation from the Holy Spirit. Worship as you read, praising God and thanking Him for all he has done and for the greatness and superiority of who He is. Let the many truths found in the pages cause you to look to Jesus.

Enter His presence boldly, without hesitation, and honor and devote yourself to Him afresh with all of your heart.

19Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,

20By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;

21And having an high priest over the house of God;

22Let 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.

23Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)

24And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:

25Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. (Hebrews 10:19-25 KJ)
