"Being a Son of The KING"

"This is the generation of them that seek Thy face, O Jacob. Selah." (Psalms 24:6) Just in case you might think that generation only means a certain age of people, or a span of life cycle, it means a body of people also, such as would be the case with all those that are the children of God. Here is the thing about those that seek the face of God; they are doing the opposite the Adam and Eve did after they sinned in the garden. After they had eaten of the fruit which God had told them not to, they hid from God because of the shame of their sin; making coverings for their naked bodies out of fig leaves, because they felt so completely dirty and unable to commune with the Holy God that had formed them. It actually goes a little further than "seek", because it takes on the better meaning of 'demanding'; not as if we demand anything of God, but we are demanding to be in His presence, and will do what ever it takes to assure that happens. This is pretty much the same "seek" that Jesus was speaking of in Luke 11:5-13, as He was teaching His disciples how to pray and the importance of prayer when it comes to receiving from the Father. And what do you think gives 'this generation' the right to seek the face of God? All of those that believe on the Lord Jesus Christ are called into the generation of His children; and as the child of the KING OF KINGS, I have certain rights that I have been given; one in particular, is the right to enter into the Holy Place and not be slain. Better yet; I don't even need to be ashamed anymore before the God who formed me, because the blood of Jesus Christ has cleansed me of all my sin; therefore, I can stand fully exposed in the presence of a Holy and Righteous God, without the fear or shame of my nakedness, because I am clothed in the righteousness of Jesus Christ the KING OF GLORY. Why is this so??? The "Supplanter" has made it so, that's why!!! Look it up...
