Job 1:8-10

8 Then the Lord asked Satan, “Have you noticed my servant Job?

He is the finest man in all the earth. He is blameless—

a man of complete integrity. He fears God and stays away from evil.”

9 Satan replied to the Lord, “Yes, but Job has good reason to fear God. 

10 You have always put a wall of protection around him and his home

and his property. You have made him prosper in everything he does.

Look how rich he is!

 

The Altar is placed within us ... yes the Lord is here.

The Holy of Holies ... introduced by the Holy Spirit

Every moment we can be there ... in God’s special sphere

to breathe His Presence ... under-girded by the Spirit.

 

All we need is to “make” time ... the place is already there.

All we need is to focus ... through dying to ourselves.

Yes it is amazing ... that wherever we’re home bound

the Altar is right with us ... the Life-Giving Well.

 

Look at it my brother ... has the Altar been used at all?

Did you even realize ... that the Veil has been removed?

Have you seen the Ark ... that has been placed within you

for you to touch without fear ... in redemption now approved?

 

Does it make the Lord Jesus ... less Holy through it all?

Isn’t His Holiness magnified ... by the power of His Blood?

He brought me in the Presence ... of God’s Holy Trinity

to stand there in Christ Jesus ... at the base of the Throne.

 

“When the sons of God ... were presented to God the Father”

the devil came there to and yes I was also with them.

Is it not a fact ... that when I pray sincerely,

that I go to the Father with all others praying then?

 

Was not I with the Father ... with the devil next to me

accusing me that I would leave... if You removed the blessings?

Thanks for the hedge around me ... for without there are fears

that so easily beset me ... as through the temporal I’m passing.
