Snapshot: A better Connection

A few days ago, the Lord spoke to me very clearly and said, "you need a better connection"  I knew what He meant.

"For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself as a ransom for all, the testimony given at the proper time."   1 Timothy 2:5-6

The connection here is a person.  That person is Jesus, and He is our mediator and our path to the Father.  He lives to help us and make intercession for us .  He lives to bring us nearer to God, and draw us nearer to Him.

"Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them"    Hebrews 7:25

Jesus stands between us and God's wrath, and He stands between us and God's affection.  The Father's view of us is filtered through Jesus.  He sees His Son in each and every true believer.  He sees Jesus in us.  This is our hope of glory, and it is reveals to us His Glory, too (Colossians 1:27).  If we connect to Jesus, we can be connected to the Father.  If we acknowledge Him as Immanuel, God with us, then we can always connect with the Father.  We can please Him by going through His son.  There is no other way.

Yeshua said to him, “I AM THE LIVING GOD, The Way and The Truth and The Life; no man comes to my Father but by me alone.”     John 14:6

Confirmed:  The morning after I was shown this, internet connection in our house went out.  God knows how to prove a point.  Connection with Him is intentional, and for many that means dedicated time in the morning.

Confirmed:  Today, a new post on the Quickened Word described Jesus as a bridge between us and the throne.  His death bridged the gap between our sinful hopeless condition and the Holiness of God.  Jesus is the way we get to Heaven, and He is the way that we can live in the Kingdom of Heaven even while on earth.  He is the way that we live live to the fullest, all the time connected to the Father God through a lifeline of awareness of Him.
