THE VEIL–AND ONE STEP BEYOND
March 17, 1974 Sunday A.M. Val.
The promise of the prophets was a new covenant in which the Word was to be written on our very hearts and we would have a heart to know Him. We have worshiped in a holy place, at the altar of incense, but the curtain to the most Holy place was rent and the altar of worship has been moved into the very presence of God Himself–into the Holy of Holies.

In the midst of tests and trials that have no answer, God does not want you to lean on your own understanding. He wants you to trust Him with all your heart and to believe for answers that get you out of your human limitations and into His divine fullness. The only way you can do that is to wait on the Lord. Many Scriptures in the Psalms and in Isaiah describe this wonderful way of waiting on the Lord where the spirit world – and the Lord Himself – become more real to you than anything else around.
