Come to the throne with boldnessf
Heb 4:16
Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
We have been called to the throne of God. We are asked to come with boldness that means with freedom in speaking, unreservedness in speech. We have to be open and frank without concealment and without any ambiguity or circumlocution, without the use of figures and comparisons. We are to be free, fearless with confidence, having cheerful courage, boldness and assurance. In the Old Testament, it was only the priest who was allowed to go into the holiest place and he did it only once a year. By the blood of Jesus, we have received access into the holy place and we can come into that place at any time with full confidence and assurance. Heb 10:19-23 “Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, 20 By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; 21 And having an high priest over the house of God; 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. 23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised”). The day when Jesus died, the veil that separated the holy place was rent from top to bottom. That was significant in that we had received access to God. The presence of God had left the temple and we had become the temple of God. He has come to live in us and we had become his temple. Eph 2:18 “For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father”. There is no more fear in us because we have received the Spirit of God which gives us boldness. Rom 8:15-17 “For ye have not received the spirit of bo***ge again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together”. We are heirs and joint heirs with Christ. A righteous man is bold and has nothing to fear. We have received righteousness as a gift from God to us. Prov 28:1 “The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion”. We don’t run when nobody is chasing us but we are bold than never before.
Speak the word now
I have the boldness of God in me, I come to the throne with full assurance and boldness knowing that I have access to the throne of God. Hallelujah
