THE FREEZER, THE FRIDGE & THE HOLY OF HOLIES PART 5: THE FINAL LAP — LIVING PRESERVED IN A SPOILING WORLD

THE FREEZER, THE FRIDGE & THE HOLY OF HOLIES PART 5: THE FINAL LAP — LIVING PRESERVED IN A SPOILING WORLD Part 1 warned us that not all preservation is protection. Things can look fine while quietly decaying. 📖 “ Be watchful .” (Rev. 3:2) Part 2 showed us the danger of staying in the Outer Court — busy, visible, but not intimate. 📖 “ These people draw near… but their hearts are far .” (Isa. 29:13) Part 3 brought us into the Holy Place — illuminated, nourished, prayerful — yet still required vigilance. 📖 “ Take heed lest you fall .” (1 Cor. 10:12) Part 4 carried us beyond the veil into the Holy of Holies — the place of full preservation. 📖 “ Abide in Me .” (John 15:4) Now comes the hardest part. The Final Lap — Carrying the Presence Out. The priest did not live in the Holy of Holies forever. He entered, encountered God, and then came out to serve. 📖 “ You shall be My witnesses .” (Acts 1:8 – key phrase) Preservation is not escape. It is empowerment. From Presence to Practice Th...

THE FREEZER, THE FRIDGE & THE HOLY OF HOLIES PART 4: THE HOLY OF HOLIES — FULLY PRESERVED IN HIS PRESENCE

THE FREEZER, THE FRIDGE & THE HOLY OF HOLIES
PART 4: THE HOLY OF HOLIES — FULLY PRESERVED IN HIS PRESENCE


Hebrews 10:19-22

" And so, dear brothers and sisters, we can boldly enter heaven’s Most Holy Place because of the blood of Jesus. By his death, Jesus opened a new and life-giving way through the curtain into the Most Holy Place. And since we have a great High Priest who rules over God’s house, let us go right into the presence of God with sincere hearts fully trusting him. For our guilty consciences have been sprinkled with Christ’s blood to make us clean, and our bodies have been washed with pure water" .


In Part 3, we entered the Holy Place and discovered a life of:

Light (illumination by the Word)

Bread (daily nourishment)

Incense (consistent prayer)

Yet we learned a sobering truth: Maturity is not immunity.

📖 “Take heed lest you fall.” (1 Cor. 10:12)

The veil still stood — meaning there was more.


Beyond the Veil

Behind the veil was the Holy of Holies — the dwelling place of God’s manifest presence.

Inside were:

The Ark of the Covenant

The Mercy Seat

The Glory of God

This was not a place of activity. It was a place of abiding.

📖 “In Your presence is fullness of joy.” (Ps. 16:11 – key phrase)


The Holy of Holies & the Freezer

This is the freezer.

Not slowed decay.

Stopped decay.

Nothing spoils in the Holy of Holies because:

God Himself preserves. His presence arrests corruption

📖 “The life was the light of men.” (John 1:4 – key phrase)


Spiritual Dimension

Spiritually, this level represents:

Total surrender

Deep obedience

Continuous awareness of God

Not seasonal devotion — abiding life.

📖 “Abide in Me.” (John 15:4)

Here, sin loses appetite, distractions lose power, and obedience flows naturally.


Physical Dimension

Physically, Holy-of-Holies living produces:

Discipline rooted in stewardship.

Respect for the body as God’s dwelling.

📖 “Your body is the temple.” (1 Cor. 6:19 – key phrase)

Health is no longer cosmetic — it is worship.


Emotional Dimension

Emotionally, this level brings:

Stability

Peace beyond circumstances

Rest that activity cannot give

📖 “You will keep him in perfect peace.” (Isa. 26:3 – key phrase)

This is not emotional numbness — it is emotional alignment.


Social Dimension

Socially, Holy-of-Holies living reflects:

Love without hypocrisy

Forgiveness without records

Service without applause

📖 “As I have loved you.” (John 13:34)

Love here flows from presence, not pressure.


Economic Dimension

Economically, this life is marked by:

Integrity

Contentment

Generosity

📖 “Seek first the kingdom.” (Matt. 6:33 – key phrase)

Provision becomes a byproduct, not a pursuit.


The Torn Veil

What was once restricted is now accessible.

📖 “The veil was torn.” (Matt. 27:51 – key phrase)

We no longer visit the Holy of Holies —

We are invited to live there.


The Invitation

God is not calling us to do more.

He is calling us to dwell deeper.

📖 “He who dwells in the secret place.” (Ps. 91:1)

This is where lives are preserved, not postponed.


Reflection

Am I visiting God’s presence — or abiding in it?

Have I truly crossed beyond the veil?


Prayer

Lord, thank You for tearing the veil. I choose abiding over activity, surrender over routine, presence over performance. Preserve my life fully — spirit, soul, body, relationships, and resources — in You. Amen.


Part 5 Preview

In the final part, we will learn how to live preserved in a spoiling world — carrying the presence from the Holy of Holies into daily life.

Stay tuned!

God is speaking, are you listening?

JUMPSTARTING YOUR LIFE—THE POWER OF DIVINE CONNECTIONS PART 8:WHEN IT’S TIME FOR AN UPGRADE—LETTING GO OF THE OLD TO EMBRACE THE NEW

THE STORY: A FRIEND FACED WITH A HARD DECISION Romans 1:11-12 (NIV) "I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to make you strong—that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith. Welcome to Part 8 of our Series, Jumpstarting Your Life: The Power of Divine Connection.  In Part 7 , we saw how my landlady’s son, who had once been stranded, later became a helper to another driver stuck in the mud . We learned that helping others after receiving help is a key principle of life , and sometimes, we must recognize when we need assistance instead of struggling alone. But what if the real issue isn’t about getting help but knowing when to move on? PART 8: WHEN IT’S TIME FOR AN UPGRADE—LETTING GO OF THE OLD TO EMBRACE THE NEW THE STORY: A FRIEND FACED WITH A HARD DECISION I have a friend named Kwame who had been driving an old car for years . It wasn’t just any car—it had been his first car, filled with memories. One day, after heavy rain, he...

JUMPSTARTING YOUR LIFE—THE POWER OF DIVINE CONNECTIONS PART 1: WHEN LIFE REFUSES TO START

THE STORY: A CAR THAT WOULDN’T START Romans 1:11-12 (NIV ) "I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to make you strong—that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith." One early morning, I was in my room when I noticed my landlady’s son struggling with his car. No matter how many times he turned the key, it refused to start. Minutes later, a co-tenant arrived with a car battery, connected it to his, and in seconds— boom ! The engine roared to life. It hit me: Sometimes, we need external help to restart what isn’t working in our lives. HAVE YOU EVER FELT STUCK? Just like that dead battery , life can sometimes feel like it just won’t start: Spiritually – Your passion for prayer and the Word feels drained. (“ Apart from Me, you can do nothing.” – John 15:5) Physically – You’re constantly exhausted, no matter how much you rest. (“Even youths grow weary, but those who wait on the Lord renew their strength.” – Isaiah 40:30-31...

DEALING WITH DIABETIC WOUNDS – A BALANCED DEVOTIONAL SERIES PART 1: RECOGNIZING THE WOUND – THE FIRST STEP To HEALING

DEALING WITH DIABETIC WOUNDS – A BALANCED DEVOTIONAL SERIES PART 1: RECOGNIZING THE WOUND – THE FIRST STEP To HEALING Revelation 2:4-5 "You have forsaken your first love. Remember the height from which you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first."  Not every wound bleeds. Some deteriorate quietly beneath the surface—unseen, unfelt, and unspoken—until it's too late . Just like a diabetic wound that looks minor at first but spreads when ignored , many of life's deepest issues— spiritual, emotional, physical, and even national—start small . But delay is dangerous . Healing begins when we are humble and honest enough to recognize the wound. Key Scripture: " You have forsaken your first love. Remember the height from which you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first." – Revelation 2:4-5 LIFE APPLICATION: Two years ago, a friend called me, asking for blood donation for his father-in-law, who was scheduled for a leg amputation at the 3...
