CLOSING THE BARRIER

Hebrews 10:22 (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). Sometimes we think that God is far from us, but that’s not true. He is actually closer to us that we can ever imagine. He lives in our heart. Everything is absolutely dependent on us. Rev 3:20 says (Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come and sup with him, and he with me). At times we consciously or unconsciously close the door of our heart to God. When this happens, we feel empty and think that God is very far. It is our responsibility to want Him or invite Him into our lives by studying the word of God, reading anointed books and fellowshipping with Him, etc. The more of God’s word we have in us and the more we put it into practice, the closer we get to Him. 2corinthians 3:18 says (But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord). So we are ordained to be his perfect picture, but it takes a conscious effort to get there. You can’t behave like someone that you are not close to or have not studied. You cannot benefit from the knowledge of an author you have not read his or her book neither can you grow more than your understanding. This also applies to our relationship with God. If you really want to enjoy closeness with God, you need to open your heart. You might have opened it before and in one way or another closed it back again. Why wait, you can draw near him with a true heart today. If you have not opened your heart to God, this is the perfect time to do so. Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and saviour. Now I know, I am Born Again, Amen. #womanyouarefree neneisahoc@gmail.com
