TOPIC: THE NEW AND LIVING WAY
Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh (Hebrews 10:19-20).
How awesome this is! Jesus opened for us a new and living way to the Father; He took off the veil to the Father’s presence and ushered us in. Blessed be God! Remember His words in John 14:6: “…I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”
Recall that in Genesis, Adam had sinned against God and was driven away from the presence of God, together with his wife, Eve. They’d been in fellowship with God in the Garden of Eden, but the Bible says God sent an angel with a flaming sword to stay at the gate of the Garden to disallow them from re-entering the garden.
Suddenly, the rich fellowship man once had with God was over. That was the beginning of religion. Man began to do everything he could to get that divine presence again. All the religions of the world today are seeking the same thing: the divine presence.
Man had no way to get back into that presence, until Jesus came. He made a startling statement which we read earlier. He said, “...I am the WAY…no one comes to the Father, but by me!”*_ (John 14:6).
This was what Adam needed. This was what the Patriarchs of the Old Testament all needed—the way to the Father’s presence. Jesus is that way. When He died on the Cross, the Bible says the thick veil that separated the temple from the Most Holy Place was torn in two, from top to bottom (Matthew 27:51), making the presence of God accessible.
Today, there’s no veil, no separation anymore between you and the Father. You live in His presence, and the Bible says, “In His presence is fullness of joy and pleasures evermore” (Psalm 16:11).
If you haven’t found your way into His presence, if you’re not yet born again, there’s no need to wallow in sin, defeat and ignorance anymore. There’s no need searching for the way; Jesus is the Way. All you have to do is confess His lordship over your life, and your spirit will be recreated to begin an exciting life in God’s presence for eternity. Hallelujah!
CONFESSION
I was born into God’s presence to live eternally in joy, glory and pleasures evermore. My life is upward and forward, because in His presence is the path of life; His light illuminates and all I see is blessings and the glorious benefits of my inseparable oneness with Christ. Glory to His Name forever.
FURTHER STUDY
Ephesians 2:18-19
For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. 19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
Romans 5:1-2
Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

#AFFIRMATIONTRAIN
I affirm that I am inseparably one with Christ, for in Him I live, move and have my being! I am the embodiment and expression of His glory and divinity.
My inseparable oneness with Him makes me supernatural, impregnable to sickness, disease and infirmity. No matter what comes my way, I am bold and fearless!
I am not ordinary; I was born for such a time as this! I am a custodian of divine truth, and I’ve received the Spirit without measure. I have all it takes to fulfill my assignment.
Fear has no place in me, for the Father has not given unto me the spirit of fear but of love, power, and of a sound mind. My mind is sound, and I am bold to act my faith.
I function with the ability of the Spirit today for the Spirit of the Lord is at work in me, causing me to have divine courage and confidence. I am a king-priest; I am anointed by the Spirit of God to carry out my assignment with great joy. Hallelujah!
My words are anointed; they are spirit and they are life. I am fully aware that the quality of life that I live is based on the faith-filled words that I utter.
Therefore, I hold fast to the profession of faith without wavering, and I affirm today that my life, health, family, and finances are consistent with God’s Word for my life. Hallelujah.
I am favored all-round; for the favour of the Lord surrounds me like a shield. It opens doors for me, bringing me into my place of greatness. I have the upper hand because God’s favour has placed me in a position of advantage, and nothing is too good for me! Glory to God. Hallelujah!
God bless you
