Imagine that you could walk into the Oval Office at any time unannounced to have an audience with the President, or to the King at Buckingham Palace, or speak at the podium to the UN!?! Wouldn’t that be ridiculous? In this world it would, But In The Court Of Heaven - NO!…and today’s scripture verse tells us why.

Our Heavenly Father has an 'Open Door' policy! Just like your children can come up to your lap anytime and say “Daddy!” we also can come to the throne of God any time we want.

You don’t have to make an appointment, be at a certain 'level of spirituality or holiness', rank, level, or title before God because He is always welcome to you at any day, time, or moment. All you need do is approach.

Too many believers think that they have to act like Dorothy in the Wizard of OZ pounding at the gates to the kingdom in order to have an audience with the Most High, but if you think about it, this is ridiculous for the following reason.

The Bible says that the heavenly City of Jerusalem is fifteen hundred miles square and God’s temple is directly in the middle of it, so pounding at the gates (which are already open anyway) doesn’t make any spiritual sense because those gates are MILES away from the throne.

If you want your prayers to be heard, then Go Boldly To God’s Throne, Christian! Let your prayers and petitions be known, asking both in FAITH and according to HIS WILL and He will hear you!

His eye may be on the sparrow, but he is always watching and listening to YOU up close and personal.

Friend, boldly go before the throne because He Is Waiting To Hear You THERE.

A sea captain was once asked what would it take to sink his mighty ship, and he replied, “Just One Tiny HOLE.”

So as one point making one hole will doom even the most perfect ship to the bottom, as today’s verse also says 'one point' failing against the 'whole law,' will mark you as guilty — and that one small hole will also sink you too.

You see, just following the Ten Commandments or the 'Golden Rule' were never intended to be the path to salvation. Instead, they are a MIRROR to how much we all need a savior to erase the 'holes' of sin in our lives. This is what Christ does for us when we step out of the ship of GOOD WORKS and into the boat of GOD FAITH.

Friend, your good works cannot and will not save you. Only Christ can wipe out all the holes of sin in your life.

Will you choose to remain in the ship of GOOD WORKS, or step into the lifeboat of GOD FAITH?

That choice, as always, is yours.

reading nejiten is innocent and pure, the first stages of being 12 mixed with cutesy cheek kisses and visits to the main house, watching a pair getting accustomed to each other, bit by bit, in the passing time.

reading nejiten is being 13 again, couped up in the tear-stained 4 am sheets, reading about hope and death and the meaning of freedom.

reading nejiten is lonely 14-year-old nights, the anchor to my damaged self, drowning out the mean girl taunts and the betrayals and the knives digging into my back.

i miss those times so much, seeing myself reading the same material at distinctly different points of my life — watching it grow and mature, the meanings of the words changing as my perception of the world does.

then comes the ache; you’re tearing up over familiar words, a different person but emotional over the same reasons. you remember the you from the past, who felt these same feelings and cried the same tears over the same stories about two ninjas from konoha getting knocked up and down, struggling for a relationship. the thing that is bothersome the most is the thought of how you could have possibly felt these same feelings as a kid when you’re such a different person now?

then you feel like a kid. then you feel innocent again. free. but still bound to the art of the craft, the crevices of the heart, the soul of the ship.

It is always a boost when someone speaks an encouraging word. Into our life! Like when your Mom or Dad said, “I believe in you!” or a good friend uttered needed words of affirmation in a tough time of “Don’t give up! You can do it!” or a teacher who praised you for doing something well.

You see, just as honey is sweet to the taste as it comes into the body, words sweetly spoken and received minister to the spirit. Words of encouragement and positivity are powerful ways to bless others and also create an environment in the world of wholeness and peace.

Friend, at every opportunity Choose Sweet Words! Reflect that just as words of encouragement and affirmation gave you what you needed in a time you needed it, that you likewise can pass that same uplifting spirit upon others.

Today there is tremendous turmoil and uncertainty in the world!

Instability in foreign countries, threat of war, terrorism, growing inflation, political upheavals, epidemics, rising energy costs, inflation — and a host of other things. Strangely but predictably the response by many is to 'prep' by stocking up on items considered as vital for meeting the coming crisis like silver and gold (or brass and lead) and the ubiquitous toilet paper, canned goods and bottled water — yet none of these will save you in this biggest of all events to come.

You see, despite the seemingly unsolvable events of the day, Jesus Christ IS coming back to deliver those that are His own and bring true peace and justice to the world.

If you have not yet sought Christ to save you from what is coming, the step to do so is to acknowledge that you are a sinner, and sincerely ask God to forgive you. Then place your trust (and your green check mark) on that which will truly prepare you for what is to come.

Friend, his promise of giving each one eternal safety is free for the asking. All you have to do is accept it.

Are you prepping for the return of Christ, or seeking your own 'prep path' to safety in a sinking world?
