UNRESTRAINED

“For through him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father.”

EPHESIANS 2:18 (KJV)

The dispensation of grace under which we now live presents us with an unrestrained access to the Father. We need call to mind the fact that what God lost in the Garden of Eden was family, and ever since then he had sought to restore that important reality of divinity.

Our opening scripture lets us know that we have access by one Spirit to the father. Under the dispensation of grace God has a Kingdom of sons and daughters – a reality that is superior to what Adam had.

In the Garden of Eden, mankind had the Spirit of God as their access to the father. This is judged true by the voice of God that they heard walking in the garden. A walking voice is definitely a person and that is the person of the Spirit as he is the voice of the father.

On the day of Pentecost – which was the beginning of the dispensation of grace – the disciples heard the sound of a mighty rushing wind. That was the Spirit of God returning to earth for a permanent abiding.

We now have the Spirit of God in us and therefore possess an unrestrained access to the father. As we commune with the Spirit we will experience the love of the father and the grace of Jesus that covers our weaknesses and besetting sins.
