The Holy Spirit showed me something powerful! He said that when you are standing far off from God’s throne, all you see is His holiness and glory—the flaming appearance of God, the brilliant light, the angels and four living creatures, the twenty four elders around His throne, the emerald halo, the sea of glass, the flashing lightnings, the seven fires of the Spirit.
“Immediately I was in the Spirit. Behold, there was a throne set in heaven, and one sitting on the throne that looked like a jasper stone and a sardius. There was a rainbow around the throne, like an emerald to look at. Around the throne were twenty-four thrones. On the thrones were twenty-four elders sitting, dressed in white garments, with crowns of gold on their heads. Out of the throne proceed lightnings, sounds, and thunders. There were seven lamps of fire burning before his throne, which are the seven Spirits of God. Before the throne was something like a sea of glass, similar to crystal. In the middle of the throne, and around the throne were four living creatures full of eyes before and behind. The first creature was like a lion, and the second creature like a calf, and the third creature had a face like a man, and the fourth was like a flying eagle. The four living creatures, each one of them having six wings, are full of eyes around and within. They have no rest day and night, saying, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God, the Almighty, who was and who is and who is to come!”” (Revelation 4:2-8 WEB)
But when you go close to Abba God’s face, you will see through all that, and see Him smiling at you. He will hug you who are His precious child. You cannot know that you are loved unless you boldly approach the throne of Grace!
“Let us therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and may find grace for help in time of need.” (Hebrews 4:16 WEB)
Do you feel that God is so unapproachable, that if you go near His light, it will expose all your sins and you will receive punishment?
I know the feeling of self-condemnation. I had it when I was a new Christian almost a decade ago, when I had misunderstandings about the meaning of God’s word—specifically in the four gospels.
I remember reading things like “If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. If your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out,” and feeling like I was doomed. How terrible it is to live under self-condemnation and fear of judgment due to wrong believing.
God has been faithful and increased my understanding of His word. Come and study the four gospels with me through the lens of grace, passage by passage, chapter by chapter, and be set free from the bondage of wrong teachings that make you feel afraid and condemned: https://bit.ly/understandeveryparable
