Many Christians think God has an open door policy, but they are sadly mistaken. Many Christians even say I can go to God by myself, I don’t need anyone praying for me.
Well, in order to get to God you have to go through Jesus. So you see, you just can’t go to God. The bible says Jesus makes intercession for us. This means I can pray for an escalade, but I only make Chevy money; so when Jesus gets the prayer and intercedes on my behalf it sounds different when it gets to God. It sounds something like this; Lord, bless her with something she can afford. She don’t need all the bells and whistles. Let her be able to get from point A to point B.
We ought to thank God for Jesus, because if he treated us like he did the people in the Old Testament then many of us would have been dead a long time ago. God didn’t play with them back then, he said the word, if they didn’t follow it, BAM!!! They were dead. With Jesus interceding for us, he be telling God, hold off on judging your children. You had me die so that they might be saved.
Therefore, we need to respect the fact that God doesn’t have an open door policy, and that we must recognize Jesus if we ever expect to be blessed by God.
Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.
