The Spirit gives us access to God the Father (Eph. 2:18).
Reflection:
The brutal sacrifice of Jesus on the cross permanently dismantled the ancient barrier of hostility and sin, but it is the Holy Spirit who actively escorts us into the heavenly throne room. Through the Spirit, we possess bold, unrestricted, and immediate access to God the Father. This means we are no longer kept at a terrified distance, relying on a human high priest to mediate our relationship with the Divine.
Because of this access, we can approach the almighty Creator of the universe without the slightest hesitation, fear of rejection, or lingering shame. Our primary identity is established as citizens with full, unrestricted heavenly clearance. When you pray today, realize that you are not shouting into the void; the Spirit has brought you directly before the throne of grace. Enter His presence with extravagant joy and absolute confidence, knowing the Father is eagerly waiting to hear your voice.
Prayer:
Father in Heaven, I am overwhelmed with gratitude that the veil has been torn and the barrier of hostility has been permanently removed. Thank You that the Holy Spirit actively escorts me into Your holy throne room today.
I boldly approach Your presence, completely free from hesitation, fear, or lingering shame. Give me a profound revelation of my unrestricted heavenly clearance, and let me commune with You today with absolute confidence and extravagant joy. Amen.
