Come Before Him in the Sanctuary

February 7

We are admonished in Hebrews 10:25 that we must not, “forsake the assembling of ourselves together.” There is great importance placed upon the unity that is gained when God’s people meet together and are of one mind and one accord as they approach His throne together. There is much power in concerted prayer.

Though He certainly gives ear to the heartfelt cry of the heart of any individual in any circumstance, though the petitions lifted to heaven singly indeed touch the heart of God and compel His mercy toward the supplicant, the combined voices of those who call upon the name of Jesus will make the church into a holy place.

The power of concerted prayer will transform the heart of His people, the temple where His Holy Spirit dwells, into a flame where the fire of His presence will sear away the dross of the world and endue the believer with power from the Throne of Majesty on High.

When His people come before Him in the sanctuary with one mind and of one accord—to meet Him and to touch the hem of His garment—they shall realize the promise found in Psalm 65:4 which says, “Blessed are those who draw near to dwell in Your courts. We are filled with the good things of Your House, Your Holy Temple.”
