The Holy Place
“Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Holy places by the blood of Jesus, by the new and living way that He opened for us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful.” Hebrews 10:19-23
Jesus has given you the confidence to enter into the holy places daily by His blood! He has made you clean! Draw near to Him today with a heart in full assurance of faith. Full assurance means to have full confidence, no doubt, or no hesitation. Full assurance of faith is fully trusting God. Ask God to give you faith that has deeper levels of trust in this fast, and as you ask, draw near to Him simply to be with Him. He has made a way for you to enter into the Holy Place, where His presence dwells!
What to Pray:
Jesus, there is no one like You. No one can make me clean like You. Thank you for making a way for me to enter into Your presence daily. I draw near to you today and ask that you would increase my trust in you. Thank you for giving me full assurance of faith, a faith that has full assurance of You! Speak to me throughout the day about how I can take steps of faith to be where you are. Speak Lord, your servant is listening!
The Prayer of Jabez:
Jabez called upon the God of Israel, saying, “Oh [if] that you would bless me [indeed] and enlarge [Expand] my territory, and that your hand might be with me, and that you would keep me from harm [evil] so that it might not bring me pain!” And God granted what he asked. 1 Chronicles 4:10 KJV, NIV, MSG
