secrets of the secret place-the blood of christ

We have been going through a book called The Secrets of the Secret Place by Bob Sorge. We have been learning about what the secret place is, the truth about the power of going in the secret place and obstacles that will hinder you from going into the secret place. In his latest teaching He talked about the power of the sprinkling of the blood of Christ. It was so powerful that we wanted to share it with you.

The blood of Christ is one of the truths God has given us to empower our Secret Place relationship with Jesus.
If you want to know what someone feels most strongly about, talk to them about their highest joys and their deepest sorrows.  If you want to know what God feels most strongly about, talk to Him about His highest joys and His deepest sorrows. 

There is nothing that God feels more passionately about than the cross and His Son.  It was a spectacle of blood. There was a day that seemed to last a thousand years to God. It went on and on and never seemed to stop. We say the cross took place thousands of years ago but to God the cross of Jesus Christ is as fresh today in the heart of Abba Father as the moment it happened. He has not forgotten even a fraction of the horror and trauma and pain of Calvary.

This is what makes the blood of Christ so powerful because when you place your faith in the blood of Christ, you are touching Abba Father at the center of His Being. You are unlocking the passions of God. Abba Father opens to you the storehouses of heaven and lavishes upon you the abundance of His mercy, the riches of His grace, the fullness of His forgiveness and acceptance and it is all because you place your faith in the blood of His cross.

The blood of Christ makes you righteous. The basis of righteousness is faith. When you have faith in what Christ has done and who He is, Abba Father looks at your faith and considers it righteousness, Righteousness gives you access to God. That’s why you want righteousness, it is the most valuable commodity in the universe. If there is anything you want…you want righteousness because righteousness empowers and qualifies you to draw near to God.

Matthew 6:33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
The first thing you want to go after is righteousness of our God. Our own righteousness will never qualify us to draw near, even if you have an exceptional week. We don’t draw near because we have mastered Christianity. We draw near because we believe in the blood of Christ. We are under His blood and we come in with boldness into the presence of God.

Every time you hear an accusation form the enemy, who accuses your standing before God, run into the blood of Christ. Faith in the atoning power of the blood is our basis of access to the throne of God.
