	The Destination! - Going Behind The Veil Into The Holy of Holies

Going Behind The Veil Into The Holy of Holies by Pastor Marcelene Murdock

When people get saved many of them never go past the foot of the

cross. They never pick up their cross and totally follow the ways of the Lord. We were not supposed to remain at the foot of the cross for that is just the beginning of our growth in the Lord. We must stand up, place Christ upon us and walk past the cross into the resurrection power.

How do we do this you ask. Well, there are many things that guide us

in the whole word of God that helps us to gain entrance behind the

veil. God told people before Christ was born in 2 Chronicles 7: 14

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and

pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I

hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

God always wanted us to seek His face, pray, be humble in spirit.

The Lord God Almighty also says in Isaiah 55: 1-3

1. Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that

hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk

without money and without price.

2. Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your

labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and

eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.

3. Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall

live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure

mercies of David.

Here we see He is telling us He is the life we need, He is our bread

and water to live in. He is telling us here to seek Him so He can feed

us properly which in turn would place us in His presence.

King David is an example we should be following as King David was a

man after God's own heart. Why was he a man after God's own heart?

King David lived for God, He was not perfect in any way as he did

commit many sins and offenses, BUT God was forgiving because King David KNEW how to reach God. How did he know how to reach God? All you have to do is notice that King David did all things for the GLORY of God; He prayed daily faithfully, studied Gods word, taught about God and told others to rely on God in all things, and he relied on God for all things.

God told us through out the old testament how to get closer to Him

and no one listened. But God already had a plan to help us gain full

access to the Holy of Holies, He made it possible for us to go behind the veil and be in His presence.

It begins with our repentance while we kneel at the cross and give

our lives to the Lord. Then we are to stand up and clothe ourselves with Christ take up our cross and walk into the resurrection power. We are not to live at the foot of the Cross of redemption as with the

resurrection we have gained a new life we just have to walk in it.

How do we do this, you ask? In John 14: 5 - 7 Jesus said to Thomas?

5. Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and

how can we know the way?

6. Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no

man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

7. If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from

henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.

Since no one listened to God the first time He made a way and Jesus

teaches us how.

First we must be Clothed in Christ

We also see in Colossians 3: 12 - 17 it says a certain behavior we

need to be in.

Colossians 3

12. Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels

of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;

13. Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man

have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.

14. And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of

perfectness.

15. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also

ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.

16. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom;

teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

17. And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the

Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

It is our life in Christ, our faith, our belief, our behavior, our

obedience to Gods commands which help us to gain access to behind the

veil.

There are other things that also need be done before we enter behind

the veil.

First and most important? We must examine ourselves and make sure we

are sinless for all sin stinks to God and He won't be in our presence if we stink.

These are some things which can hinder us from being in Gods presence

Disobedience

Doubt

Negative thinking

Negative emotions

Negative actions

Fleshy reactions to anyone

I pray this little devotion has given you some knowledge and

understanding.

God's peace be with you.
