Access

To approach, admission

Your belief has a great part in bringing your miracle to manifestation (Mark 9:23)
“Jesus said to him, if you can believe, all things are possible to him that believes”.

The Bible teaches us that “He that spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up
for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things” (Romans 8:32);
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us
with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ” (Ephesians 1:3); “Grace
and peace be multiplied to you through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our
Lord.  According as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life
and godliness, through the knowledge of Him that has called us to glory, and
virtue” (II Peter 1;2-3).  We have a covenant with God though the blood of Jesus
Christ (Hebrews 7:19,22) “For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in
of a better hope, did by the which we draw near to God.  By so much was Jesus
made a surety (guarantee) of a better covenant”, and Hebrews 8:6 “But now has
He obtained a more excellent ministry by how much also He is the mediator of a
better covenant, which was established upon better promises”.  

Let that sink in, we have a covenant with God.  Galatians 3:5-9 “He therefore
that ministers to you the Spirit, and works miracles among you, does He it by the
works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?  Even as Abraham believed God and
it was accounted to him for righteousness.  Know you therefore that they which
are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.  And the scripture, foreseeing
that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel to
Abraham, saying: In you shall all nations be blessed. So then they which be of
faith are blessed with faithful Abraham”.  Jesus’ sacrificial death served as the
oath or pledge that God made to us to seal this new covenant.  This is still God’s
promise to any person who turns to Him in repentance and faith.  This was
promised and foretold by Jeremiah in 31:31-34 “Behold, the days come, says the
Lord Yahweh, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with
the house of Judah.  Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers
in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt;
which My covenant they broke, although I was a husband to them, says the Lord
Yahweh.  But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel,
after those days, says the Lord Yahweh, I will put My law in their inward parts,
and write it in their hearts, and will be their God and they shall be My people.  
And they shall teach no more every man his neighbor, and every man his
brother, saying, know the Lord Yahweh, for they shall all know Me, from the least
of them to the greatest of them, says the Lord Yahweh, for I will forgive their
iniquity and I will remember their sin no more”.

Jesus told all those that came to Him “your faith has made you whole”.  God has
given us all things for life and godliness, we must access them through faith.  
Faith is believing in your heart that what God says is true, and acting on them in
spite of what you see with your natural eyes.  God is supernatural, you must see
God as He is supernatural.  Jesus said “with men that is impossible, but with God
all things are possible” (Matthew 19:26); and “the things which are impossible
with men are possible with God” (Luke 18:27).  Focus on God and not on your
problem.  “For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labor of love,
which you have showed toward His name, in that you have ministered to the
saints, and do minister.  And we desire that every one of you do show the same
diligence to the full assurance of hope to the end.  That you be not slothful, but
followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises” (Hebrews
6;10-12).  Take your eyes off your circumstances, but just as Jesus answered
the devil in the wilderness with “it is written”, find what is written about your
problems and quote that to the devil.  Jesus said “the word is seed” so plant it in
your heart and be ready when problems come to answer and return to sender.  
That’s why satan sows doubts into your heart, to get you to give up on your
promises.  The Bible tells us “what God has blessed can not be cursed”
(Numbers 22:12) “and God said to Balaam, you shall not go with them, you shall
not curse the people, for they are blessed”.  And this promise followers us in the
new covenant.

Our access is available to us (Romans 5:1-2) “Therefore being justified by faith,
we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.  By whom also we have
access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory
of God”; Ephesians 2:18 “for through Him we both have access by one Spirit to
the Father” and Ephesians 3:12 “In whom we have boldness and access with
confidence, by the faith of Him”.  we are warned in Hebrews 4:11 “let us labor
therefore to enter into that rest, less any man fall after the same example of
unbelief”;  Hebrews 4:16 Paul says “Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of
grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need”.
