Direct Access

Jesus has given us direct access to the throne room of grace.

When Jesus was crucified the veil of the temple was ripped in two, signifying an end to the ancient custom where only the priest was allowed to enter the most holy place to offer sacrifices and to ask for forgiveness of sins.

Thanks be to God for abolishing that old law and for giving us direct access. We can now stand before his throne and make our requests known unto Him. He is such a loving, wonderful God that He stands ready and waiting to hear our call.

Thank you Jesus that we do not need to wait for anyone else to pray for us or to approach God on our behalf. We don't have to wait for someone to lay hands on us. We have direct access to the most high God.
We can pray by ourselves and for ourselves, we can lay hands on our children, we can present our plans to him, we can confess our sins directly to Him, ask for forgiveness, pray the sinner's prayer and accept His sweet salvation.

We have direct access. With the word of God as our manual, the spirit of God as our guide and a willing and humble heart we can make it. We are His people. He is our Shepherd. The Shepherd is always in the presence of the sheep. He keeps us from danger and all who belong to Him He will keep until that great day when the son of God shall return to earth to take his bride away.

In the meantime we have to ask, seek, knock and constantly bombard heaven with our prayers, supplication and praise.

We are precious in the sight of God!
