Excerpts from "The Air of Heaven"


We are bid come boldly before the throne of grace.  If we are earnest
enough -- steadfast enough, and if He is listening; we can draw so near
that our eyes wince and tear up from the sheer magnitude of His brilliance.
It is as if all Heaven holds its breath while we reach out for spiritual heights
unattainable by our earthly self. The closer we draw the closer we want to be.
Having been cleansed by Yeshuah’s blood, we approach in humble reverence.
We may have come to address our earthly problems, but proximity to Him
causes their importance to fade away like yesterday’s news.

At times like these, when we are so pliable before the throne, it is as
though we are permitted for a moment to breathe the holy air of Heaven.
Like a child that has entered the adult world to plead for favor, all Heaven
listens intently for what will come out of our mouths. And if that request is
based on faith, angels stand prepared for action. It is with this scene in mind
that this book has been written; to encourage the brethren everywhere to
continually seek that closeness and, in doing so, to become even more
fruitful and useful to the awesome Holy God we serve.
