Heb 10:19...

Heb 10:19 "Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus"

...I am coming to believe more and more that the reason so many Christians don't walk intimatly with God is that they dont have an understanding of the fact that they are no longer under the Law (ie must do A and B and C in order for God to be happy with them, if they dont do ABC then God is unhappy with them and they are shut out from His presence...), but are free under Grace (yes, the Law of Jesus), no i didn't say free to sin, i say free from feelings of guilt, free from feelings of shame as they come to him...

If they slip up in thought or deed or slip up by not thinking a paricular thought or doing a particular deed, it is then dificult to think that God is still pleased with them, but what they should do is continue to moving forward, having Heb 10:19 (and others like it) formost in their thinking...

What happens (i think) is they think God is extremely displeased with them and so any intimate feelings they might have are then relegated to the back of the mind....until they go "OK maybe God is still my Father.." and start all over again...

Thank you Jesus...for your blood
