In the bible there is mention of a Outer court , the holy place and the Holy of Holies .  Now I’m not talking just about the temple .

Hi Danielle, one enters into the holy of holies when they know that the blood of Christ was shed for their remission of sins, pardoning them freely, washing them clean, their mind washed clean and renewed now having a good conscience toward God.

Danieille, there is no pattern to find God. God is found through Jesus and Jesus is found simply by accepting Him, in faith, as your Lord and Savior. It really is that uncomplicated.

 

OK, on to the Outer court. 

 

When the Levitical priests entered the Holy of Holy's in the tabernacle from the outer court, they prepared themselves for everything. They were the only ones that were allowed into the inner sanctum where the Ark of God resided. They had bells on their clothing and a rope around their ankles that led  outside. The bells were so that people outside could hear them moving, the rope was so that if they stopped moving and the bells were silent because the sight of God (no one has looked at God and lived) had killed them, they could be pulled out feet first. 

 

A good example of living under the law!

 

When Jesus died for our sins the curtain of the temple was torn in two, and the altar cracked. Heaven was revealed to us. We have a direct contact to heaven through Jesus. Everything was revealed. (the Latin for Revelation comes from lifting or tearing of the veil) - reveal and vellum = revelation (Vellum in Latin means veil, it also means the thin sheepskin often used for important documents to be written on). Some of the early bible may have been written on vellum.

 

We now have a direct line to God because Jesus died for our sins.

 

A good example of living under His grace.

 

So just to let you know. As a saved, born again Christian, you live in the Holy of Holy's every second of every day!

 

But unfortunately many of us have not yet learned to take the bells and rope off our ankles. We consider them a safety net! For what I can't imagine, because we are no longer slaves to sin. We are free Sons and Daughters, heirs to Christs kingdom.

 

Does that help?

Yes but that is when you come to salvation and the knowledge there of Im talking about when as a mature christian you seek the presence of God and get to know the person of who He is .  Please dont say you can learn that in the bible you could through study and revelation of the word in essence whom is God but when he becomes so real that your heart beat becomes like His.  And you are led fully by Him when all fear is delt with .

But the study and mediation of the Word, and prayer, is the only way we come before God. We seek God through prayer and reading of the word, and we are assisted in this by those we place ourselves under for teaching and mentoring us (through church, this ministry, mature Christians we know, etc).

 

Then we live as Jesus commands us, and our lives become one with Him.

You're applying the old garment terms to the new, there is no outer court and holy place in the new, there's only the most holy of holies, as it says in the account of the gospels and in the book of Hebrews that Christ has entered in the most holy place and sprinkled his blood , now the veil is rent in two, and those who are convicted of sin and has hence found refuge in the Lamb of God through Faith in his most precious shed blood is in the place where Christ is, seated in heaven.

The relationship a person has with Christ grows more and more as they die to self each day, applying Titus 2:11-15 to their inner most being, walking in his grace and trusting in his promises. As a mature Christian you are still in the same room of the most holy of holies just as the newbeliever, only difference is, is that you've been there longer ...there is no outter court and holy place for the true believer

The only place to find God is within your own heart. He is in everything and everywhere. He will always be with you. However, you will eventually find Him within.
