Hi Friendly people,
Hope this encourages you to spend some time with the Lord. I challenge you to look these up and read the context it is written in. Let's draw near to God and fill ourselves up as we empty ourselves out.
Hebrews 2:13 and He said," I will put my trust in Him." "Behold, I and the children that God has given Me."
Hebrews 4:16 Let us therefore draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and may find grace to help in the time of need.
Hebrews 7:19 for the law made nothing perfect, and on the other hand there is a bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.
Hebrews 7:25 Hence, also, he is able to save forever those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.
Hebrews 8
I will put an emphasis on verses 11&12 You can see that God is wooing us to draw near to Him. Pastor James is always saying, "Put your rump in the seat." Can we do this during our time of fasting? If you really want to have fun and be blessed look at Jesus the High Priest, in the pages of Hebrews.
V11 and they shall not teach everyone his fellow citizen, and everyone his brother, saying,"know the Lord," For all shall know Me, from the least to the greatest of them.
V12 '' For I will be merciful to their iniquities, and I will remember their sins no more." ( learn more below)
John17: 9
V9 " I ask on their behalf; I do not ask on behalf of the world, but of those whom thou hast given Me, for they are Thine;
V10 and all things that are Mine are Thine, and Thine are Mine; and I have been glorified in them.
V11 "And I am no more in the world; and yet they themselves are in the world, and I come to Thee, holy Father, keep them in Thy name which Thou hast given me, that they may be one, even as We are.
For those who can't get comfortable in God's presence because of condemnation, guilt and shame, I hope this scripture helps. I remind myself of this scripture when I am being accused. Never give up, Never give in!
Psalms 89:14-15
Righteousness and justice are the foundation of thy throne. Lovingkindness and truth go before Thee.
V15 How blessed are the people who know the joyful sound! O Lord, they walk in the light of Thy countenance.
Revelation 12:9-11
V9 the great dragon was thrown down, the serpent of old who is called the deceiver of the whole world; he was thrown down to earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.
V10 and I heard a loud voice in heaven saying, "Now the salvation and the power, and the kingdom of our God and the authority of His Christ have come for the accuser of our brethren has been thrown down, who accuses them before our God day and night.
V11 They overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony and they did not love their life even to death.
