24 Nissan 5768 (Hebrew 7th Month) "Clean Hands, PURE Heart!"
Christ Jesus, our High Priest, in HIS humanity realized the stigma that was apparent in the minds of the common people who longed to serve God, yet unless that person was appointed as High Priest, they were restricted from entering behind the 'Veil'.
Therefore, Christ came to remove that dividing wall or veil, as it was ripped 'Top to Bottom' as HE hung dying upon Calvary's Cross, providing direct access to God for each Believer.
God's WORD says that each Believer now has 'Full Access' to HIS Presence, approaching HIS Throne, with Boldness, but our hearts must be PURE, free from any unclean thing, similiar to what was required of the Priests, who would wash their hands, symbolizing their cleanliness before ministering and serving unto the Lord.
These lyrics are from the popular Worship song by Mark Shultz, they ARE composed of God's WORD, SCRIPTURE which speaks of my own longing to minister and serve in HIS Holy Presence.
Only the Precious Blood of Christ will ever be sufficient to cleanse my hands from all impurity, and by God's Holy Spirit is my heart made pure, undefiled from spiritual contamination which for so long restricted both my Fellowship and Service to my Lord.
Believers in Christ Jesus, recreated in HIS image by Holy Spirit, have become a Royal Priesthood, consecrated and set apart to dutifully Serve, and Faithful to Administer the Gospel of Truth,
