Removing The Veil ♥

By Hazel Holland

 "My Beloved Bride... let Me remove the old covenant veil that covers your heart!"

Several days ago I was getting ready for work in the bathroom.   I had just finished fixing my hair and was about to put on my make-up, when the new name of a Facebook group suddenly popped into my mind... "Praying Down the Veil".  Suddenly I became overwhelmed by the Lord’s presence.  Then quite unexpectedly He began to speak a word into my spirit.  "Let Me lift the veil from your eyes so that you can see My face and know My heart!"

Immediately I was totally undone.  The tears began rolling down my cheeks as I sensed the sweet presence of the Holy Spirit.  A picture came to my mind of Jesus lifting the veil from our eyes so that we can know Him face to face!  He wants us to look into His eyes with no veil between us so that we can see His heart.  He wants us to see the glory of God in His face!

"Whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.  Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.  And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his likeness with  ever-increasing  glory, which  comes  from  the  Lord, who  is  the Spirit." 2 Corinthians 3:17-18

God wants to remove the veil of old covenant teachings that many of us hold on to as our way of life and source of truth.  This veil that covers our hearts keeps us stuck in giving our allegiance to a system of rules and regulations that ends in condemnation and death.  Why would we choose death instead of knowing the heart of the One who gives us Life--Jesus Christ? 

God knows our hearts, and He is working through His Spirit to bring us to the place where we will see this veil of condemnation and death for what it truly is.  Once it is removed from our eyes and hearts we shall rejoice in His goodness as we see the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ--a radiance and glory that will never fade away!
