Title: Permission Granted

Scripture: John 6:65
And He was saying, “For this reason I have said to you, that no one can come to Me, unless it has been granted Him from the Father.”

Observation: What is God saying to me?
Imagine walking up to a house and the owner of the home is inside. You don’t yet know the owner, but you have been told that the owner has the master plan for your life. It’s been told to you that he wants to share this plan with you but you have to wait for him to answer the door to let you in.

If you just burst into the house then you are an unwelcome guest who will be sent back to where you came from, but if he opens the door then you are granted access to the house and given the master's plan.

The right thing to do is this. Knock on the door until the owner comes to the door, opens it, and grants you permission to enter.

Application: What will I do about it?
Each day I have to show up at the Masters house, enter in and get the download on what He has for me that day.

After spending hours and hours seeking and knocking on Jesus' door, I now have been granted access and am no longer a stranger in God's house. He has allowed me unrestricted access. I have a family pass now.
I can come and go as I please. The truth is, there is no place I’d rather be than in the Master's house with Jesus.

Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank you for giving me the family pass. This isn’t something I have earned, you have given me this privilege. It is a privilege I don’t not take lightly. Thank you for allowing me into your home to spend time with you not as a stranger but as family. In Jesus Name, Amen!

I Am Grateful For… permission to enter into the Master’s house.
