So Let Us Come Boldly To The Throne Of Our Gracious God.

There We Will Receive Mercy, And We Will Find Grace

To Help Us When We Need It Most.

Scripture

Hebrews 4

12 For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires.

13 Nothing in all creation is hidden from God. Everything is naked and exposed before his eyes, and he is the one to whom we are accountable.

14 So then, since we have a great High Priest who has entered heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to what we believe. 

15 This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same testings we do, yet he did not sin. 

16 So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.

Observation

Last night at the hospital I talked with a young pregnant Mom who was in the hospital because of nausea associated with her pregnancy that was so bad that she had lost 20 pounds. Wow … that is morning sickness on steroids! Anyway she was doing a lot better when I talked to her. As we talked she asked me this question, and she was very sincere, “Tell me who created God”?

With that question she opened the door wide open for us to talk about God's plan for all of us. Oh, God is definitely working in that young woman's life and she is very close to placing her faith and trust in Jesus as her Lord and Savior.

I am sure that you and I will do a lot of important stuff today, but nothing that you do and nothing that I will do will be more important than taking the time to pray for someone who God has placed on our hearts. Nothing!

So let's pray with boldness and let's intercede for them!

So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.” Hebrews 4:16

Application

I am praying right now for the people that God has placed on my mind and heart.

How about you?

Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank You that I can come boldly to Your throne and boldly pray for people that You have placed on my heart. I know that nothing is more important than praying for others.

I pray for my friends you are sick with the Covid 19 virus. I pray for healing. I pray for pastor Terry Gregory who has Covid and has been placed on a ventilator. Heal them all, Lord.

James 5:14-16

14 Are any of you sick? You should call for the elders of the church to come and pray over you, anointing you with oil in the name of the Lord. 

15 Such a prayer offered in faith will heal the sick, and the Lord will make you well. And if you have committed any sins, you will be forgiven.

16 Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.
