In Hebrews chapter 4, it is written by THE SPIRIT to us for such a time as this:
14 Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.
15 For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.
16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
The Amplified Version expounds further on verse 16:
Therefore let us [with privilege] approach the throne of grace [that is, the throne of God’s gracious favor] with confidence and without fear, so that we may receive mercy [for our failures] and find [His amazing] grace to help in time of need [an appropriate blessing, coming just at the right moment].
We are encouraged to come with full confidence and without fear to FATHER’S Throne in time of need. In order to do so, we must fully understand and comprehend the importance of Our High Priest, Jesus Christ, Who has provided us the means to approach FATHER’S Throne without reservation. The Words of Jesus fully express His Character thus we should dwell and meditate on His Words and not allow them to become a distant memory in our consciousness. Rereading the Gospels to simply appreciate Our High Priest’s Love and associated actions, keeps our appreciation for His Love and ministry fresh in our minds. The Holy Spirit will reveal deeper mysteries as we simply listen to what the Gospels are showing us. As we mature, further revelation and understanding is opened up to us for our benefit.
Let us understand FATHER’s Divine Intent and willingness for us to come unto HIM. If we are sure that HE welcomes our boldness, then we will have no reluctance in approaching HIM. When FATHER speaks, HE discloses HIS nature thus we are able to trust IN HIM when we hear and embrace HIS Word in the area of our need. If HE expresses a promise or sets an expectation, we are to believe HIS Word above all else. Men who have attempted to approach HIS Throne from a position of self-interest will try to convince us of other doctrines to support their failure. They will interject unbelief and doubt in their speech and writings in order to justify their soulish ways. We must reject their path and trust only the path Jesus, our Shepherd, is guiding us toward as we mature IN HIM.
In Jeremiah chapter 33, FATHER spoke:
2 “Thus says the Lord who made the earth, the Lord who formed it to establish it—the Lord is His name,
3 ‘Call to Me and I will answer you, and tell you [and even show you] great and mighty things, [things which have been confined and hidden], which you do not know and understand and cannot distinguish.’
FATHER wants us to call upon HIM with boldness for we are the ones who will bring forth HIS Kingdom on earth. I believe that one of the greatest hindrances to our maturing process is to place our focus on future dates when prophecies are expected to be fulfilled at the expense of our internal maturing process. Men will cease focusing on their current progress in hope that FATHER will simply and suddenly wipe away their immaturity on a particular day. We are to live in the “now” and keep our lamps trimmed (Matthew 25:1-13). We are to come boldly to the Throne of Grace in our time of need daily if necessary. The maturing process requires us to change thus if we are to be counted among the remnant, we must embrace change and should expect the quality of boldness to rise up in us and become ingrained in us. Jesus was bold because He understood His relationship with FATHER thus we too will take on that same characteristic as we come to full maturity.
