COME INTO THE HOLY OF HOLIES

Come into the holy of holies!  This is a

statement that will either woo you in or 

will cause you to run in fear.  When we 

enter into the presence of the Holy One it

makes us lay aside all of our selfishness, 

our desires and ambitions in order to 

make way for His desires and ambitions 

for our lives. 

For several years now I have had people 

talk to me about writing another book 

but the passion was not there,  The passion 

I had was set in a different direction.  

My passion at the time was to give hope 

to the hurting people I met daily as I was 

taking the train to work, and to carry 

the light of Christ to the world 

closet to me. 

For those of you who have never written 

a book, this is something that becomes 

nearly impossible to do while working a 

full time job and being deeply involved 

in the ministry of our church.

So when the question was asked, each 

time I would let them know that the 

Lord had led me to write the two books 

I had written; but he was not leading me 

to write anything besides those two books.  

I was thoroughly convinced that the Lord 

was not going to lay it on my heart to write 

another book.  After all, I still haven’t been able 

to wrap my mind around the fact that I have 

written two books already much less the fact 

that the Lord would desire me to write 

anything more for him.

Then driving to work one day I felt the 

Lord start weaving the idea into my heart.  

I pushed it aside due to the fact, there is no 

possible way I can write another book while 

holding down a full time job, especially one 

that I am on the road for close to an hour 

going to work and then returning. 

Months later the desire began to be 

weaved deeper into my heart and with me 

being the person that I am, I pushed it 

aside wondering how in the world I 

could be having this desire to write again.  

Writing a book is one of the most time 

consuming, difficult things for myself since 

I am not a natural writer and although I can 

spell much better than I could years ago, I 

still struggle with grammar and the overall 

concept of writing. 

The one thing I didn’t struggle with too 

long, is the fact; if the Lord continues 

to lay something on my heart that I come 

to the understanding that all else will be put 

on hold until I follow the will of the Father.  

If he chooses for me to write a book, then 

he will do all the fine tuning of my life 

in order to bring it to fruition.  That 

doesn’t’ mean I will enjoy every 

moment of the changes taking place. 

It does mean, as He makes the changes 

in my life, He is going to fill the empty 

spots with the right things in order to bring 

about His plan, and it will be a beautiful thing 

that takes place when he brings it to past.

What I must be willing to do is set

aside my personal desires and come

boldyly into the holy of holies, by the 

blood of the lamb and ask the Lord to 

use this book for His glory.   

Having therefore, brethren, boldness to 

enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,

By a new and living way, which he

 hath consecrated for us, through

 the veil, that is to say, his flesh;

And having an high priest over the

house of God;  Let us draw near with a 

true heart in full assurance of faith, 

having our hearts sprinkled from an evil 

conscience, and our bodies washed 

with pure water. Let us hold fast the 

profession of our faith without wavering; 

(for he is faithful that promised;)

And let us consider one another 

to provoke unto love and to good 

works: Not forsaking the assembling of 

ourselves together, as the manner of some is; 

but exhorting one another: and so much 

the more, as ye see the day approaching.
