How Cool is this?


Hey there it is now Day 21 in our quest to be in the Word daily. What is God teaching you? Where are you reading and meditating? What is God teaching you? Here’s what God taught me today from Hebrews 10.
First: Jesus is the PERFECT sacrifice and God prepared it that way. “Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but a body you prepared for me. Heb 10:5. Did you catch that idea? God prepared a body for Him…that means it was determined and executed.He chose His only begotten Son for this one and only perfect sacrifice and it had to be done with a body.

Secondly, If you understand that concept you are just one step away from being a child of God. As a child of God the author of Hebrews then gives us some very basic and practical applicable life changing steps to take!

1. Be confident brothers and sisters…you can enter God’s holy sanctuary
2. Draw near in your confidence, God is no longer far away or on a high mountain in fire and threatenings but is as near as the breath you take. But note it is that we must draw near with a sincere heart…none of this wavering well maybe so maybe not…you must be sincere about this. So how sincere are you today about your faith? Are you confident?
3. Hold unwaveringly to the hope you have within you…he who wavers is lost and is like the sea as it ebbs and flows back and forth. So don’t expect to receive anything from the Lord as you waver between yes and no. You must be unwavering, that is steadfast and immovable as Paul said in 1 Cor 15:58!
4. Then after you have come boldly before the throne of God, don’t just stay there! Jesus said “go, make disciples, baptize them, teach them” Sooooo friend, are you going?
5. Lastly in your going out into the “holy huddle” are you thinking? Is this on your mind? How can I spur someone else on to love others and to do good deeds thus working out their salvation.

Whoo hoo friend…how cool is that? Come near, get your heart recharged in the tent of meeting’s throne room! Be steadfast in your faith! Be steadfast in your in your hope! Go to believers and encourage, Go and find those who are lost and win them to the Lord!
