Where do you stand with the Lord this day?  The Word speaks to us plainly about were we stand in Him.  Acts 17:28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being…[KJV] The Word also declares that He abides in us if we abide in Him. John 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.  [KJV]  The Word speaks to the issue of drawing close to the Lord.  James 4:8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you…[KJV] What every Christian should understand and apply to their lives is that we need to go outside to come back inside.  Let’s look at a scripture together: Exodus 33:7 And Moses took the tabernacle, and pitched it without the camp, afar off from the camp, and called it the Tabernacle of the congregation. And it came to pass, that every one which sought the Lord went out unto the tabernacle of the congregation, which was without the camp.  [KJV]  The Lord wanted His people to come outside so that they could go inside.  Praise God!  It is still the same.   We must come to Him and be in the center of His Will not on the perimeter looking at a distance!  Come on don’t you know who you are?  You are the children of God — the royalty of the Lamb.  Praise Him for He is calling you to come outside that you may enter into the inside.  We enter into the Holiest of all through steps that cannot be skipped or over looked:

(1) Seek  Matt. 7:7;

(2) Salvation Eph. 2:8;

(3) Sanctification Eph. 5:26;

(4) Service Heb. 9:6;

(5)  Satisfaction Heb. 10:19.

The reason, I believe, that so many are not satisfied is that they are on the outside looking in!  The invitation is come on inside and be satisfied.

Song 2:9 My beloved is like a roe or a young hart: behold, he standeth behind our wall, he looketh forth at the windows, shewing himself through the lattice.  [KJV]
