Spiritual Access
Grace and divine revelation are the foundation through which believers access the fullness of God's kingdom that Christ secured through His death and resurrection.
Believers today lack understanding of spiritual access—the divine portal through which God's complete grace becomes operative in their lives. Most Christians pray without comprehending the distinction between prayer and access, missing the dimensions of God's kingdom that have already been granted to them through Christ's sacrifice. This teaching reveals the keys to spiritual access: grace as the foundation, divine revelation as the pathway, and knowledge of God's kingdom as the operative force that transforms a believer's effectiveness in God's purposes.
Teaching Overview
- Believers suffer from lack of knowledge rather than lack of prayer, which prevents them from operating in the spiritual access Christ secured through the torn veil.
- Spiritual access differs fundamentally from prayer—access is granted by God's grace and operates through divine revelation, while prayer is a method available to all.
- Grace is the foundation of access, followed by divine revelation, which allows believers to recognize and receive the grace God has invested in others.
- Understanding the protocol of access means recognizing that access is not created by human effort but given by God's sovereign choice, and this knowledge must be combined with spiritual knowledge for true effectiveness.
- Receiving servants of God in the name of their calling opens access to the grace and spiritual dimensions they carry, but doctrines of devils deceive believers into rejecting the grace operating through God's appointed vessels.
Key Distinctions
| Prayer | Spiritual Access | |
|---|---|---|
| Nature | A method of communication with God available to all believers | A divine portal granting entry into God's presence and His kingdom dimensions |
| How it works | Requires intentional verbal or mental petition | Operates through grace given by God and revelation received by the Spirit |
| Effectiveness | Can be practiced without knowledge and yield limited results | Requires knowledge of what God has made available and divine revelation of His kingdom |
| Foundation | Can be performed by anyone seeking God | Begins with grace given by God, not earned or created by human effort |
| Outcome | General approach to God | Specific, powerful access to particular dimensions and manifestations of God's kingdom |
The Crisis of Unknown Access
- Believers possess spiritual access through Christ's torn veil but remain ignorant of its reality and operation.
- Many Christians pray earnestly while living outside the presence and power they have already been granted.
- The lack of knowledge about God's kingdom operates as a barrier, even though grace has removed all legal obstacles.
"Through Him we have access by one spirit to the Father. But if access has been given, why do so many still live outside his presence? What keeps you from entering the door God already opened?"
Knowledge as the Essential Asset
- The perishing of God's people stems not from prayerlessness but from ignorance of the kingdom's operation.
- Knowledge of God's kingdom ranks as a believer's greatest asset—more foundational than prayer, obedience, or effort.
- Prayer without knowledge becomes an exercise in futility; it produces no fruit because the one praying does not understand what is available.
"The issue with believers is not praying. It's the lack of knowledge."
"My people perish because they don't know."
"Prayer without knowledge is a waste of time."
Grace: The Foundation of All Access
- Access is not granted because anyone deserves it, asks for it, or earns it; it is given solely by God's sovereign choice.
- Grace provides the legal right to access; Christ's death removed the veil and opened the way to the Father for all who believe.
- Every promise fulfilled in Christ has already been secured by His resurrection; believers enter that grace through faith, not through their own works.
"Grace is the beginning of access."
"You don't create access. God gives access. Not because you asked for it, but because he has chosen to give it."
Divine Revelation: The Pathway of Access
- After grace is given, divine revelation becomes the second key—the Spirit-to-spirit communication that unveils what God has prepared.
- Revelation is not learned through human study or cognitive effort; it comes as God chooses to unveil truth to the spirit of the believer.
- Without revelation, a person cannot know what is on the other side of the door; they cannot knock where they do not know access exists.
"Spiritual access after grace is given. Revelation is the next key."
"Access is a little bit more complex in its simplicity, because the other person is on the other side and you don't know what they have unless by the grace of God you receive revelation."
Recognizing Grace in God's Servants
- When a believer receives a prophet, pastor, or servant of God in the name of their calling, that person receives the grace and the spiritual access that God has invested in that vessel.
- Recognizing grace in others is itself a mark of spiritual maturity; those who cannot see grace in others cannot benefit from what God has placed in them.
- The deception in the church centers on believers failing to recognize the grace God has given to His appointed servants, thereby cutting themselves off from the access those servants carry.
"If you receive a prophet in the name of a prophet, you receive the prophet's reward."
"You receive the grace and the access they have falls upon you."
"When you understand what grace is, it is very, very easy to recognize grace in people's lives."
Key Definitions
Spiritual Access — A divine portal or realm of operation opened by Christ's death and resurrection, through which believers enter into the presence and power of God through grace and revelation, not through human effort or prayer alone.
Grace — The sovereign, unearned gift of God that establishes access and provides the legal right for believers to approach the Father; it is given by God's choice, not created or earned.
Divine Revelation — The Spirit-to-spirit unveiling of truth that allows a believer to know what God has made available; it comes from God's choice to reveal, not from human study or cognitive understanding.
Knowledge of the Kingdom — Understanding how God's kingdom operates—its principles, protocols, and available dimensions—which is essential for a believer to function effectively and avoid frustration.
Protocol of Access — The spiritual order and conditions through which access operates; access is not granted randomly but according to God's established principles and purposes.
Veil — The barrier that separated humanity from God's presence in the Old Covenant; Christ's death tore the veil, establishing immediate access to the Father for all who believe.
Key Takeaways
-
Grace is the foundation of all spiritual access — It is not earned, created, or even fully requested; God gives access solely by His sovereign choice and provision through Christ.
-
Knowledge of God's kingdom is essential to accessing what grace has already provided — Believers perish for lack of knowledge, not for lack of prayer; this knowledge must be spiritual knowledge combined with understanding.
-
Spiritual access operates through divine revelation, which is distinct from prayer — Revelation unveils what God has prepared; prayer is a method of communication available to all, but revelation is the gateway to dimensions most never experience.
-
Receiving God's servants in the name of their calling grants access to the grace they carry — When a believer honors a prophet or pastor as God has appointed them, that believer receives the grace and access those vessels have been given.
-
Recognition of grace in others is itself a spiritual gift — The ability to see and acknowledge what God has invested in His servants marks spiritual maturity and opens the door to receive their grace.
