DAY 314 (2019) - From away from God to draw near to God (Please click here for English podcast)





Silence

1.   Put on your “brakes” and stop for a moment of silence
2.   Wait for God. Breathe deep for God's peace and feel His presence. Exhale your worries.

Praise and Thanksgiving

1.   Think through your day, all the times that made you smile
2.   Thank God for all those moments, and for all those people

Confession and Repentance (Subjective Shifting Devotion Method http://bishopsilas.blogspot.ca/2009/08/count-down-5-subject-shifting-devotion.html)

1.  Pray for the Holy Spirit to shine on you that you are able to discover your sins and be willing to repent:

     “Dear Holy Spirit, shine your light into the places of darkness in my life. Show me my sins, everything that blocks me from encountering God. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.”


2.  Through the Holy Spirit, examine yourself for a short silence and then pray:

     "Dear Lord Jesus, thank you for dying on the cross for our sins and being victorious over death and sin. I confess my sin to you(pause, to tell Jesus what the Holy Spirit has shown you). Forgive my sins by your blood and help me follow you. Holy Spirit, fill me that I may be able to receive your gift to love God and His people. In Jesus Name I pray, Amen."

The Word, Time with Abba (Psalm 119:161-168, Ezekiel 23:1-49; Hebrews 10:18-39, Proverbs 27:13)


Today's main passage:
19 Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, 20 by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body,21 and since we have a great priest over the house of God, 22 let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water.     Hebrews 10:19-22


Let's have a time to be still and give the Holy Spirit space to speak through the passage we have just read. Offer this time up to Jesus as you listen to him.

My Listening
The topic I received today is: From away from God to draw near to God

Today's Hebrews 10:19-22 opens my eyes to see why sometimes we cannot draw near to God to have an intimate relationship with Him, or even cannot hear His voice. It is because we have not walked through that "new and living way" and that is Jesus body and blood!

Holy God will not have relationship with sinful men. This is just like centuries ago when people had to see their King they had to cleanse themselves and change clothes!

We have no way to cleanse our own sins, only by the blood of Jesus. This means you have to allow the Holy Spirit to shine on you that you know your sins, confess and repent and then the blood of Jesus will wash your sins. And, you will be like the High Priest in the Old Testament time to enter into the Most Holy Place to draw near to God. It is just those High Priests could only enter once every year but you can draw near to God through Jesus body and blood every day, every minute and every second!

Dear Abba Father,
    Help us to  draw near to you through Jesus' body and blood every day, every minute and every second. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

Reflect on these questions:

1. What kind of inspiration and invitation have you received from today's message?

2. What is your next step to draw near to God through Jesus body and blood every day, every minute and every second?
