RECESS VIDEO

Praise! Jesus tore the veil that separated us from God and made a way for us to enter into God's presence. But how do we get there? How do we enter in? In this podcast, we dive into what Biblical praise is and how Scripture reveals that praise is the highway to God's presence. Through studying different Hebrew words for praise, we get a taste of the freedom and joy God truly has for us in Him. We now get to step into freedom in praise because not only is the veil torn between us and God, crushing all religious requirements, but also because Jesus tore the veil between ourselves and the expectations of the world around us. We get to throw off every requirements we are striving to meet and step into freedom pursuing a life with the Lord.

He loves me, He loves me, He really loves me! What a beautiful night diving deep into the Lord’s relentless pursuit of us through Jesus and His unwavering love for us. It’s the miracle of knowing that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. That our old heart of stone has been replaced with a new heart of flesh that beats wildly for Jesus. Knowing Jesus is far more than intellectual knowledge, it’s experiential. To know Him is intimacy, it’s freedom, it’s the fullness of joy, it’s more than we can ask to think or imagine. He thinks we are worth paying the highest price, to make us His - what a precious gift. May we continually learn to treasure this gift, not striving to “do” and “earn” it, but just “be” and “receive” it. Let the sacrifice of Jesus laying down His life on the cross for our sake be enough for us to come to Him and rest.

Listen in as Kallie unpacks how the Jewish wedding tradition parallels the marriage of Christ to his bride - the church. This revelation points not only to the beauty of God's love and pursuit of us but also to the significance of the gift of the Holy Spirit. We dove into who the Holy Spirit is and why Jesus gave us the Holy Spirit as a down payment to our eternal inheritance in Christ. Our hope is that this message encourages you to surrender your life to Him and to walk in boldness, power, and love until he returns again. ———— To learn more about RECESS, visit: https://www.recesswomen.com To purchase the RECESS curriculum “RECESS: Seek, Encounter, Know” and follow along with us in this season of RECESS Released in Houston, TX, visit: https://www.recesswomen.com/product-page/recess-seek-encounter-know-by-kallie-foltz-bahorich ——— Follow us on Facebook and Instagram to stay up to date on all the exciting things Jesus is doing in and through RECESS @recesswomen Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RECESSWomen/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/recesswomen/
