Hi Brian!

The word for this week is "way". There are many words translated way, so we may use this one again. This week we'll be looking at these verses:

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. KJV

Hebrews 10:19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, 20 By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; 21 And having an high priest over the house of God; 22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. KJV

These are both the Greek word "hodos". Strong's Concordance says: a road, a progress, a mode or means. Thayer's Greek Lexicon says: a proceeding, a course of conduct, a manner of thinking, feeling, deciding. Vine's Expository Dictionary says: a natural path, road, way.  We know that both of these verses above are referring to JESUS being the only WAY to the Father, to eternal life, to Heaven. JESUS opened that WAY by becoming sin with our sin, paying the price for sin so that we never have to. At that same time, He also became 'sick' with any sickness, disease, weakness or infirmity that could ever come upon a human body, making the WAY for us to walk in health and wholeness. He became poor so that we could have a WAY to become joint, equal heirs with Him, having all the riches of Heaven available to us. In every situation that we face, HE has the answer to get us OUT of the hands of the enemy and into the protection, provision and safety of the Heavenly kingdom of which we are now citizens (Philippians 3:20) and which is now our Source of supply! My prayer for you and your family is that before you even face a situation, Holy Spirit will show you the WAY to handle it and to walk through it victoriously! Here is a new song by Hillsong UNITED called "Another In The Fire":

VERSE 1

There’s a grace when the heart is under fire

Another way when the walls are closing in

And when I look at the space between

Where I used to be and this reckoning

I know I will never be alone

CHORUS

There was another in the fire

Standing next to me

There was another in the waters

Holding back the seas

And should I ever need reminding

Of how I’ve been set free

There is a cross that bears the burden

Where another died for me

TAG

There is another in the fire

VERSE 2

All my debt left for dead beneath the waters

I’m no longer a slave to my sin anymore

And should I fall in the space between

What remains of me and this reckoning

Either way I won’t bow

To the things of this world

And I know I will never be alone

CHORUS 2

There is another in the fire

Standing next to me

There is another in the waters

Holding back the seas

And should I ever need reminding

What power set me free

There is a grave that holds no body

And now that power lives in me

BRIDGE

And I can see the light in the darkness

As the darkness bows to Him

I can hear the roar in the heavens

As the space between wears thin

I can feel the ground shake beneath us

As the prison walls cave in

Nothing stands between us

Nothing stands between us

VERSE 3

There is no other name

But the Name that is Jesus

He who was and still is

And will be through it all

So come what may in the space between

All the things unseen and this reckoning

I know I will never be alone

CHORUS 3

There’ll be another in the fire

Standing next to me

There’ll be another in the waters

Holding back the seas

And should I ever need reminding

How good You’ve been to me

I’ll count the joy come every battle

‘Cause I know that’s where You’ll be

Love and Shalom from the Swoveys!
