ACCESS TO THE FATHER

ACCESS TO THE FATHER

Let us therefore come boldly unto the 

throne of grace, that we may obtain 

mercy, and find grace to help in time of 

need (Hebrews 4:16).

When you’re born again, you become a 

member of God’s great family. The Apostle 

Paul made reference to this family in Ephesians 3:14-

15:  “For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of 

our Lord Jesus Christ, Of whom the whole family in 

heaven and earth is named.” It’s one family in heaven 

and earth, and you belong there now.

As a member of this family, you’re in a divine 

community. It’s like being in a secure online community, 

where members are given passcodes for access. All 

non-members are restricted, until they register and are 

given access codes. It’s the same in our community; 

through the Holy Ghost, we have access to the Father, 

and all the glories of His presence. The Bible says,  “For 

through him we both have access by one Spirit unto 

the Father”  (Ephesians 2:18). 

God is always happy with us. The Bible says He 

rejoices over us with singing (Zephaniah 3:17). Many 

don’t really know Him, that’s why they think He’s 

mad at them for the wrong things they’ve done, and 

tend to run from Him. But He’s love, and loves you 

passionately, in spite of your actions. Romans 5:8 tells 

us, “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, 

while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” 

Ephesians 2:19 says, “Now therefore ye are no 

more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens 

with the saints, and of the household of God.” Quit 

begging or acting like a stranger and foreigner; you’re a 

member of God’s family, and have unrestricted access 

to Him through Jesus Christ. Hallelujah! O, the glory 

you’d experience, communicate, and disseminate if 

this truth dawns on your heart! It’ll beautify your life, 

and cause you to live closer to your full potential.

PRAYER

Dear Father, I’m forever grateful for your unconditional 

love which you’ve lavished on me, and the awesome 

privilege of being a bona fide member of our great, 

sublime family. I enjoy the blessings and benefits of 

my oneness with you, conscious of your glory in my 

life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
