Hindered

“God says we must not eat it or even touch it or we will die.” Genesis 3:3

In the midst of my deepest agony I rushed to the place I knew would bring healing to the brokenness and aching that flooded my heart. As I approached the inner temple I cried out, “Father, please may I come in?” I reached out to pull back the curtain and enter the Most Holy Place where my Father dwelled. All to find that there was curtain after curtain each one thicker and heavier than the last. The aching and longing in my heart only became more intense, so intense I began gasping for air and wondering why I could not get into meet with the only one I so desperately needed.

It was then in there the Holy Spirit stopped me. These curtains, they are hindrances. Until they are removed you will continue to pull curtain after curtain. My heart cried out, “how do I remove them, don’t you understand? Can’t you see the brokenness within me?”

Confess, go and make right what has been made wrong. Make peace, turn from your sins, and then when you call upon me I will hear you and make clear the curtain for you to enter the place where I your heavenly Father dwells.

Do you have hindrances; UN confessed sin standing between you and God? Don’t wait until it’s too late or until your sin has driven a wedge that has become so hardened in your heart. Call out to the living God and let Him show you any and all sin that is keeping you from a personal and intimate relationship with Him.

Yes we have unlimited access to the Most Holy Place because of what the Son of God did for us, but before we enter we must daily confess our sins, and understand our true need for God.

Prayer: In Jesus name I ask Lord that You will daily reveal any sin lurking within me, for then I will confess my sins and be able to enter the place I desire to be, the place right where You dwell. Thank You that as I remove my sins you are faithful and just to forgive me of my sins and purify me from all unrighteousness. Amen
