(Hebrews 4:16 NKJV) "Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need."
God has designed a pathway of communication for you and me through His son, Jesus Christ. He anointed Jesus to be the High Priest of the New Covenant. He set Him aside so that His original purpose of fellowship with man can be in full effect.
A high priest is someone that acts as man's representative before God. He mediates between humanity and deity, offering sacrifices to God thereby making a bridge of peace between God and men.
Under the old covenant, certain men were ordained according to the Law of Moses to stand in this sacred office. In the course of their duties, they would offer the blood of slain animals for the atonement of the sins of the people. This service done repeatedly was the only way the Old Covenant saints could maintain a relationship with God, though it was inadequate.
Jesus became the author of the New Testament by offering His blood as sacrifice, making the pathway between man and God once and for all. No need for another sacrifice! There is absolutely nothing standing in the way again as you can freely relate with God. You do not have to stay outside the court. Not any longer!
DAILY SCRIPTURE READING: Hebrews 4:1-16
MY DAILY CONFESSION
Jesus has paid the price for my total freedom in life. I have been bought with a price. Therefore, I glorify God in my body and spirit. For sin, I have received righteousness. For sickness, I have good health. And for poverty, I have abundance.
Jesus knew no sin but He became sin that I might be made the righteousness of God in Him.
Jesus Himself bore my grief, sicknesses, weaknesses and distress, and carried my sorrows and pains; He was wounded for my transgressions, bruised for my iniquities, the chastening for my peace and well-being fell upon Him and with His stripes I am healed.
I know the grace of my Lord Jesus Christ. Though He was very rich yet He became very poor in order that I can be made rich through His poverty. I shall not frustrate the grace of God because I am walking in the fullness of my redemptive rights.
I stand fast in the liberty I have received as a child of God. I will not be entangled any longer in the yoke of slavery. I am totally free from every form of oppression of the evil one.
I boldly declare according to Galatians 3:13 that Christ has redeemed me from the curse of the law. I am completely free from the curse of sin, sickness and poverty.
