Once anyone comes into the presence of God there is an awesome sense of unworthiness that occurs in the heart. The expectation may have been that it would be quite wonderful and a way to express the desires that have been wrapped up in dreams for some time. The initial and ultimate sense of emotion is humility mixed with a joy and passion for more of God. That is at least the normal and sensible reaction to anyone that is realizing that God is present in a very real way. The direct approach to the Throne Room of Grace is that of humility which is characterized as a boldness not because of who someone may think they are but because of the grace that is given for an audience with God. (Hebrews 4:16) This boldness is really expressing the confidence in God for His gift of Grace to those that have called to Him for forgiveness and newness of life. The life lived by grace is not a life of bondage which is ruled by the precepts of men. It is not a freedom from the Law of God but it is the revelation that because of Grace, God and each individual are able to be in a Father/Child relationship by the Spirit of Adoption. (Romans 8:15) This companionship is is sanctified and sanctioned by the Father Himself. The commonality of spirit and flesh are separated and man begins to walk and live in the Spirit. Containing the blessings of God daily and appropriating the Word of God into each situation. Having a relationship with God through Grace is not just having knowledge of God but the Spirit of God dwelling with in you. (1 Corinthians 6:18-20)

What the Lord our God has done through His design for mankind is made it possible for man to embrace, in every detail, God’s love and mercy for His creation. Wondering and questioning the abilities of God once a person is regenerated is not even in the heart anymore. There is a transformation that begins and continues throughout the life of the regenerated person. The growth and the maturity comes through prayer and discipleship which is under girded through the understanding of Grace. The fresh anointing that is given daily when you pray establishes again the unworthiness and ultimate satisfaction of communing with God. Seeking to gain an audience with the Lord does not take a great anointing because that audience is just in the mention of His Name. His willingness and desire to answer the heart’s call is another implication of how wonderful His Grace really is. Viewing the landscape of time as we know it imprints the heart and soul with the God’s intent of showing and sharing His grace to all who will accept His invitation to live by Grace.

The unique opportunity offered to this world by the God who has created it should not be shunned or made to difficult. It is simply accepting the will of God for your life and living according to His love and offered grace.
