Why is it that even though we are encouraged and invited to come boldly into the Holy of Holies, we often do NOT go in?
I don’t know why you don’t go in. Only God knows.
As I spoke to those in my workshop this weekend at the 32nd Weekend Getaway — “Unwavering Confidence“ conference of The Christian Working Woman, the Lord made something very clear to me. Many times, the reason I do not go in is because I simply do not want to.
The Bible says that the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak (Matthew 26:41 NIV).
John 8:32 (NLT) says, “And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” The Holy Spirit truly does lead us into all truth. All I could do, as I realized how lazy I’ve been, is repent and turn to Him. Surprisingly, what the Lord did as I confessed and repented, was put a great desire in my heart to run into that glorious throne room! What I found there was His amazing grace and mercy.
Don’t let the enemy tell you it’s too embarrassing to admit how often you have been so apathetic towards drawing near to your Savior. Let’s repent and turn (even run!) with confidence into the place He made accessible for you and me by His precious blood!
