The Way is Open

Day Three: The Veil Was Torn—The Way Is Open

Beloved, do you not know? The way to the Father stands wide open! From the moment Yeshua cried out, “It is finished!” and breathed His last, the veil of the temple was torn from top to bottom (Matthew 27:50-51). Not by human hands, but by the hand of El Shaddai Himself. No more separation. No more barrier. No more distance between God and man.

That veil was not a mere curtain. It was thick, woven, nearly impossible to tear. It was the division between the Holy Place and the Most Holy Place—the very presence of God. Before, only the high priest could enter, and only once a year, bearing the blood of sacrifice. But now, by the blood of Yeshua, the door is forever open. His flesh was torn so that we might enter in. The veil is torn, and the way is clear. The invitation stands.

The Anointing Remains

Yet some of you have forgotten what He has placed upon you. You once walked in the power of His anointing. You once burned with vision and passion. But time has passed. Trials have come. You have faced testing, and perhaps you have fallen. The enemy whispers, “It is gone. You are disqualified.” But he is a liar. What God anoints remains anointed.

The prophet Samuel anointed David as king long before he sat on the throne. Years of exile, caves, betrayal, and battle did not remove the oil of God upon his life. The anointing did not fade in the wilderness. It did not weaken in the waiting. It endured. Just like when the veil was torn, the anointing does not fade.

Even now, the Spirit of the Lord reminds you: “For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable” (Romans 11:29, NASB). His anointing upon your life is not fragile. It does not evaporate with time. It does not dissolve in the fire. What He placed upon you then is still upon you now.

Arise and Reclaim It!

Hear the call of the Lord: Arise! Reengage! Step back into the vision He gave you. The time of hesitation is over. The time of delay has passed. The Spirit of God says, “Return to Me, and I will return to you” (Malachi 3:7). Seek Him, and you will find Him. Call upon Him, and He will answer (Jeremiah 33:3).

What has been dormant will awaken. What was buried will rise. The embers still burn beneath the ashes—breathe upon them, O Lord! Even now, the anointing that was placed upon you is stirring again. It has not left you. It has not weakened. He is calling you to step forward once more, as when the veil is torn and the way is open.

Lay everything before Him. Surrender it all anew. Return to the fire of His presence. The way is open, the veil is torn, and the anointing remains. Step in!

A Prayer of Returning

Father, I come before You, humbled and hungry. I lay everything at Your feet—every fear, every failure, every doubt. I know Your calling has not changed, Your anointing has not lifted, and Your presence has not departed. Ignite me again. Stir the fire within me. I seek You, knowing You will be found. I turn to You, knowing You are here. Just as the veil is torn, restore me, O Lord, and let me walk in the fullness of what You have spoken over my life. In the name of Yeshua, my King and High Priest, amen.

Seeking the Lord: Finding Satisfaction in Jesus Christ

I remember the day I felt completely empty. The pressures of life—work, family, and the constant noise of the world—had drained me. No matter what I did to distract myself, the emptiness remained. One morning, desperate for a change, I opened my Bible and stumbled upon Psalm 63. David’s cry echoed my own: “O God, You are my God; earnestly I seek You; my soul thirsts for You, my flesh longs for You, in a dry and weary land where there is no water.” It was then that I realized what was missing—I wasn’t just tired, I was spiritually thirsty.

In a world filled with distractions, it’s easy to neglect the one thing that truly satisfies—our relationship with Jesus Christ. That day, I made a decision to stop running from one thing to another and instead seek Him earnestly. The more I pressed into His presence, the more I felt His peace and love fill the dry places in my heart.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re wandering through a wilderness, longing for something deeper, this message is for you. Let’s explore together how Psalm 63 and the life of Jesus invite us to seek the Lord with all our hearts, and how that pursuit transforms us in ways nothing else can.

How to Pursue God with All Your Heart, Based on Psalm 63

Beloved, we are called to seek the Lord with all our hearts, just as David did in the wilderness, crying, “O God, You are my God; earnestly I seek You; my soul thirsts for You; my flesh longs for You, in a dry and weary land where there is no water” (Psalm 63:1). But today, we seek not just the God of the Old Covenant, but the living Jesus Christ, who has revealed Himself as the way, the truth, and the life. He is the One who quenches the deepest thirst of our souls.

Seek Jesus, the Living Water

Remember what Jesus Himself said: “Whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life” (John 4:14). The invitation is clear—come to Him who is the source of living water. Just as David longed for God in the wilderness, we are called to pursue the presence of Jesus, who has made the way for us to know God fully.

The Worth of Knowing Christ

The Apostle Paul echoed this deep yearning for God when he said, “Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord” (Philippians 3:8). Paul gave everything to pursue an intimate relationship with the risen Christ. Should we not do the same? Every earthly treasure pales in comparison to the glory of knowing Him. Seek Him today with the fervor of one who has tasted and seen that the Lord is good.

Abide in Him

John the Apostle, in his final years, reminded us of the importance of abiding in Christ, writing, “Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him” (1 John 3:6). To abide in Jesus is to seek Him daily, dwell in His Word, and walk by the Spirit He has freely given us. This is the call to every believer—to know Jesus, not just with our minds, but with our whole being. He is the One who fills our soul with joy and peace.

Answer His Call Today

Brothers and sisters, Jesus stands at the door and knocks. “If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me” (Revelation 3:20). He is calling us to deeper fellowship, to draw near to Him. The same Christ who died for us, who rose from the dead, and who now sits at the right hand of God, beckons us to come closer, to experience the fullness of joy found in His presence.

Draw Near to the Throne of Grace

Let us come boldly before the throne of grace, as the writer of Hebrews encourages us: “Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need” (Hebrews 4:16). Our Lord is not distant; He is near, ready to pour out His mercy and grace upon all who seek Him. Now is the time. Do not wait. Set aside distractions, let go of the weight of the world, and seek Jesus with all your heart.

He promises that if we draw near to Him, He will draw near to us (James 4:8). He is our hope, our joy, and the One who satisfies our soul with good things. May we seek Him in the morning, in the night watches, and in every breath we take, until we behold His glory face to face.

Conclusion: Run to Jesus

Run to Jesus, abide in Him, and let His love transform you from within. He is the source of living water, the One who satisfies our souls in a dry and weary land. Seek Him now and find rest for your soul, for He is faithful to fulfill His promises. “You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart” (Jeremiah 29:13).
