[Nochaeld]

Blood of Jesus' Confidence to Enter Holy Place in Center of Love of Father and Son's Fellowship Heb 10:19, through Jesus Christ our Merciful High Priest, Heb 4:15-16, (Into Fellowship w/ Trinity), Sprinkled by Blood of The Perpetual "Priest forever according to the Order of Melchizedek," Ps 110:4, Heb 7:15. In this place we freely receive mercy and find grace for help in time of need, Heb 4:16 (as a baby in the womb receives nutrients from its mother's umbilical cord freely without having done anything to deserve or earn the nutrition), Connected to the Vine, John 15:1-2, (as the branches, and leaves receive the life-giving sap from the grape vine quite naturally and then produce luscious grapes quite effortlessly). For the GOAL of Our Teaching is Love from Purified Heart, a Faith with no Contradiction, and a Conscience without any charges of which we are cognizant, 1 Tim 1:5, Study to know what The Holy Spirit says in His Word accurately from cover to cover so we are not teaching error which would be shameful and misrepresent a Perfect God, but rather be diligent in our studies, that we may be workmen that accurately divide The Word of Truth, 2 Tim 2:15. Grant us The Holy Spirit's Strength to Know Dimensions of Christ's Love to Overflowing, Eph 3:16-19, Wisdom to Know God's Will Perfectly and Walk it out in a Worthy Manner, Col 1:9-11, Wisdom and Power to Make & Accomplish Needed Plans, Tit 3:14, bearing much Fruit of The Spirit, Gal 5:21-22, and disciples proving we are disciples, 1 Cor 9:1-2, Jn 15:7-8

Heavenly Father, we thank You for nearness to God James 4:8, first love renewals Rev 2:4, ability to take care of our own vineyards, Song 1:6, tend our gardens & keep them Gen 2:15. Holy Spirit of Wisdom & Revelation to Know God Eph 1:17, The Word Lk 24:45, Study 2 Tim 2:15, Intercession 1 Tim 2:1-4. Clarity & Order 1 Cor 14:33, resulting in happy grace for chores, wisdom for pressing needs Tit 3:14; fellowship w/ The Trinity & our teams 1 Cor 3:9, family, friends & the lost 1 Jn 1:1-3. Simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ 2 Cor 11:3, angelic ministry and protection Gen 19:16, 1 Kings 19:6, Ps 91:10-11, Heb 1:14, Acts 12:7, Heb 13:2, Proclamation of Repentance & Forgiveness, Lk 24:47, faith and assurance, Jn 20:31, 1 Jn 5:13, restoration of joy of initial forgiveness by fresh repentance resulting in happy conversion of sinners, Ps 51:12-13. As always, protect us from temptation and evil, Matt 6:13, STUMBLING BLOCKS, Rom 14:13, 1 Cor 8:9, 1 Cor 10:32, sin Zeph 3:13, evil people, imposters, deception, 2 Tim 3:5, 2 Tim 3:13 and the evil one, John 17:15. Thank You in the Name of Jesus Christ, The One Mediator between God and man, 1 Tim 2:5, our Priest forever according to the Order of Melchizedek, Psalm 110:4, Heb 7:11, Heb 11:15, Heb 7:17, in Jesus' Name.

We join with you in this beautiful longing to enter with confidence into the very center of the Father and the Son's fellowship through the blood of Jesus, and we thank God for your hunger for that nearness.

We rejoice that you have come in the name of Jesus Christ, the one mediator between God and men, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father. As it is written, Having therefore, brothers, boldness to enter into the holy place by the blood of Jesus, Heb 10:19 and Let us therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and may find grace for help in time of need, Heb 4:16. We praise God that He has given us a great high priest who can sympathize with our weaknesses, Heb 4:15, a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek, Psalm 110:4, Heb 7:17, so that we are sprinkled and welcomed not as strangers but as children.

We love the pictures you have shared, of a baby receiving nourishment freely through the umbilical cord and branches receiving sap from the vine, for that is exactly how our Lord describes our life in Him. Jesus said, I am the vine. You are the branches, John 15:5, and apart from Him we can do nothing, but abiding in Him we bear much fruit quite naturally as His life flows through us. We pray that you will remain deeply connected to Him in that simple dependence.

We agree with you that the goal of our instruction is love out of a pure heart, a good conscience, and sincere faith, 1 Tim 1:5, and that we are called to be diligent to present ourselves approved by God, a workman who does not need to be ashamed, correctly handling the Word of Truth, 2 Tim 2:15. We pray that the Holy Spirit will open your understanding, as He opened the disciples' minds that they might understand the Scriptures, Luke 24:45, and give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, Eph 1:17.

Together we pray for you now.

Father, we thank You for the blood of Jesus that has torn the veil and given us confidence to draw near. We ask in Jesus name that You strengthen us with power through Your Spirit in our inner being, that Christ may dwell in our hearts through faith, to the end that we being rooted and grounded in love may be strengthened to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and height and depth, and to know Christ's love which surpasses knowledge, that we may be filled with all the fullness of God, Eph 3:16-19. Grant us wisdom to know Your will perfectly and to walk worthily, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God, Col 1:9-11, and wisdom and power to maintain good works to meet pressing needs, Titus 3:14, so that the fruit of the Spirit, love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control, Gal 5:22-23, will be evident in our lives and our discipleship will prove that we are truly Your disciples, John 15:8.

We thank You for the promise that if we draw near to God, He will draw near to us, James 4:8. Restore to us the joy of our first love, Rev 2:4, and teach us to tend the garden You have given us to cultivate and keep, Gen 2:15, even our own vineyard, Song 1:6. We ask for clarity and order, for You are not a God of confusion, but of peace, 1 Cor 14:33, and for simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ, 2 Cor 11:3, and for sweet fellowship with You and with one another, that which we have seen and heard we declare to others that they also may have fellowship with us, and our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son, Jesus Christ, 1 John 1:3, as fellow workers with God, 1 Cor 3:9.

We ask for Your angelic protection and ministry, for Your angels are all serving spirits, sent out to do service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation, Heb 1:14, and You give Your angels charge over us to keep us in all our ways, Psalm 91:11. We pray that You will keep us from temptation and deliver us from evil, Matt 6:13, keep us from being a stumbling block to others, Rom 14:13, 1 Cor 8:9, give us no offense in anything, 1 Cor 10:32, keep us from deceit and from evil men and impostors who advance from bad to worse, 2 Tim 3:13, and keep us from the evil one, John 17:15, that we may proclaim repentance and remission of sins in His name to all, Luke 24:47, with faith and assurance that all who believe may have life in His name, John 20:31, 1 John 5:13, and with the restored joy of Your salvation that leads to the conversion of sinners, Psalm 51:12-13.

We trust You to answer this according to Your perfect love and will, and we pray all these things in the name of Jesus Christ our merciful High Priest, our only hope and our peace.

We were encouraged reading your prayer and the hunger in it to live close to God, to walk in love with a clear conscience, and to know His will and do it faithfully.

That kind of desire is precious, and we want to encourage you that growth in these things is usually gradual and quiet, more like training over time than a single moment of trying harder. There will be highs and lows along the way, and what matters most is staying with the Lord over the long haul.

We hear in your words a love for His Word, for prayer, and for worship together, and those simple, steady places are where He so often forms us. Only the Holy Spirit makes real growth happen, and He works differently in each of us, so your walk will not look exactly like someone else's.

If it would help, one steady next step could be staying rooted in a small fellowship where you can open the Word together, pray for one another, and share everyday life. That kind of community has a way of keeping us grounded and encouraged when the mountaintop feelings fade and ordinary responsibilities return.

We are praying for you.

Father, thank You for drawing us near through Jesus our great High Priest. Give our friend daily grace to receive Your mercy, to walk in Your love, and to bear fruit that lasts. Strengthen them by Your Spirit, give clarity and peace for the work You have put before them, and keep them in fellowship with You and with others who love You. In Jesus' name, amen.

Praying in agreement with you in Jesus' name, Amen

Your prayer has been read with deep thankfulness, for it breathes the very spirit of a heart that has found confidence to enter within the veil by the blood of Jesus. There is no other way into the holy place, no other ground of nearness to God, but that precious blood by which our merciful High Priest, who was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin, has opened the fellowship of the Father and the Son to such as were once far off. As you have well said, we do not enter by any merit of our own, but as a branch receives sap from the vine, or as a child in the womb receives life from its mother, freely and of grace.

How sweetly does this agree with the truth that as surely as God's will is the axle of the universe, so in grace He is King, having mercy on whom He will have mercy. Salvation is of God's will, and the preservation and perseverance of His people rests upon that same will. We are not saved against our wills, but the work of the Spirit, which is the effect of the will of God, is to change the human will and make men willing in the day of His power, working in them to will and to do of His good pleasure. For this we give thanks, that He who is a Priest forever after the order of Melchizedek ever lives to sprinkle our consciences and keep us in the fellowship of the Trinity.

You ask for that which God delights to give, a love out of a pure heart and a faith unfeigned and a good conscience, and wisdom to walk worthy of the Lord. Remember that the only religious knowing and believing which are of a saving character concern the person of the Lord Jesus Christ. All the hearing in the world will end in nothing unless the soul gets still closer to the very soul and secret of the truths of God, tasting and handling His Word. Be diligent then to study that you may rightly divide the Word of truth, searching the Scriptures daily, for this is the school book of the family of love, and they who believe it shall be taught of the Spirit of God who inspired it. And when God's will and ours keep pace together, it will be heaven on earth to us, for the very soul of joy is conformity to the will of the Creator.

We join you in prayer that you may freely receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need at the throne of grace, that the Holy Spirit would strengthen you to comprehend with all saints the breadth and length and depth and height of the love of Christ which passes knowledge, that you may know His will perfectly and bear much fruit of the Spirit, proving the reality of discipleship. May the Lord grant you nearness as you draw near to Him, a renewal of first love, simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ, clarity and order in all things, and happy grace for daily duties. May He keep your vineyard and your garden, and cause your fellowship with His people and your witness to the lost to abound.

And we pray with you for protection from temptation and evil, from stumbling blocks and sin, from evil men and the deceiver and the evil one himself. He will come to our deliverance in the time of trouble, and no good thing will He withhold from them that walk uprightly. May you be kept by His power, never wishing even for honest gain except as you can promote the will of God by it, feeling in your heart what you may not always say with your lips, If the Lord will.

We commend you to Him who is the one Mediator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus, praying that you may continue in the Word, in prayer, and in intercession for all, to the glory of God alone. Amen.
