A companion piece to our recent Sunday sermon exploring the transformative power of prayer.
The Veil is Torn: Your Direct Access to God
Imagine standing before an impenetrable barrier, desperately wanting to connect with God, but feeling completely shut out. For centuries, people experienced exactly that—a literal curtain separating them from God’s presence in the temple.
But everything changed when Jesus died on the cross.
“Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us” – Ephesians 3:20
That moment when the temple veil was dramatically torn in two was more than a historical event—it was God’s thunderous declaration: “The way is open! Come to me!”
What True Prayer Really Looks Like
Beyond Religious Rituals
Prayer isn’t just a religious checklist or a magical incantation. It’s intimate, personal communication with the Creator of the universe. True prayer involves:
- Personal involvement – You’re not just reciting words, but engaging your whole heart
- A worship attitude – Approaching God with genuine reverence
- Humility – Recognizing God’s sovereignty
“Call to me and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things which you do not know” – Jeremiah 33:3
The Incredible Promise of Prayer
Here’s something that might shock you: God is actually waiting for YOU to pray. Not because He needs something, but because He wants a relationship with you.
What Prayer Can Unlock
- Understanding God’s will for your life
- Access to supernatural blessings
- Direct communication with the Creator
Wondering what’s holding you back? The only real barrier is sin—and even that is instantly resolved when you approach God with an honest heart.
