WHY WE PUT A THING OR PERSON BETWEEN US AND GOD?
When the lord Yeshua died on the cross that hallowed Friday the large curtain that covers the Holy of Holies were torn apart from the middle hence exposing the Ark of the Covenant - the very seat of YHWH.
Anything in between man and God was removed by that fateful sacrifice of the Lord? And prior to that the lord Yeshua said that it is near that true worshiper of God will worship in SPIRIT AND TRUTH. That rending of the curtain is the beginning of the new time. It is the commencement when the people can come to the Great Light who is God without fear and hesitation. If God be a cleansing fire and if God be a cleansing water why would a sinner be afraid to approach the water where his dirt will be cleansed where his soul will be purified.
Take courage and be not afraid, do not put a thing or a person, living or dead, between you and God. The business is between you and Him. The tyrannical mind setup that people need another people to help him meet and ask God is no longer the setup when Christ made His sacrifice and peace with God. The relationship is no more of a king and subject; of a master and slave. The relationship is of a father and son or a mother and son or a parent and children.
Take courage and look up no other salvation, no other savior and no other helper and comforter than the thought that God is merciful and unconditional love. Focus and dwell on the thought that God is Father or Mother or Brother or Sister whom you will be accepted as you are, as you are.
Remove that which you or other people or system put between you and Him. The lord Yeshua already removed any intermediary between us and God. The covering of the altar is removed. Worship God whose no eyes have seen by the might and power of His name, in Spirit and Truth.
