As I read (Revelation 3:7-8); John the Revelator
states that…He who is holy, who is true, who has the key of David, who opens
and no one will shut, and who shuts and no one opens, says this: 'I know your
deeds Behold, I have put before you an open door which no one can shut, because
you have a little power, and have kept “My” word, and have not denied “My”
name...”I find that when I share with my Heavenly Father everything that
I am going through, I get “His” supernatural strength to continue on. In my suffering
I have learned to depend on “His” everlasting love for me. I also find that
when I praise “Him” in my struggles from my heart it helps to push, back the
darkness that I have been walking through bringing me towards "His"
light. I have struggled with many issues that have brought me nearer to God. My
struggles have been hard and heavy with being a successful mother and father to
my children and grand children… successful in writing my book, and in everyday
life settings. In each of these areas, I have acknowledged my weakness
and the Lord has been with me to lift me back up again. I have also begun to
reach out to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ through “His” word and many
prayers to “Him” these struggles have help me to be humble and helped me to realize
that I can't get through this life on my own. “Never losing my sense of
thought... that what doors my Father open for me no man can ever close. Jesus
has shown me to rely on “Him” yes,…but to also receive from the body of Christ
where “He” has placed gifts to be used during these trying times. It also helps
me to learn through “His” grace and mercy that God holds all the cards that has
been dealt to me in my life because “He” is my shield and buckler. It helps me
to learn that as a human, we all suffer. (James 4:6) says that God opposes the
proud, but gives grace to the humble this is where I have been for the
last three years now. (Psalm 27:5-6), states for in the time of trouble “He”
shall hide me in “His” pavilion; In the secret place of “His” tabernacle “He”
shall hide me; “He” shall set me high upon a rock. And now my head shall be
lifted up above my enemies all around me; therefore I will offer sacrifices of
joy in “His” tabernacle; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord. So
you see when God opens doors in our lives
don’t try to close it because of the trials, which is sometimes required. No
one can close an open door that God has for you so have strong confidence
in the Lord God Almighty. Amen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If it’s
God’s will it will be done, remember “He” always has a plan. Watch out as well
for doors that God closes. For where “He” guides, “He” always provides!
Meaning that my God works in mysterious ways “His” wonders to perform, and
sometimes we're just swept along by “His” current state- of-the art customary
circulating knowledge, so you see even when we don't know exactly where we're
going "He" does. So we should follow God’s lead and “His” guidance.
Where "He's" providing open doors, “He's” obviously guiding! So don't
bother to knock: Just walk right in! Believe “He” is a GOD WHO OPENS DOORS
AND THE SAME GOD WHO SHUTS DOORS. Because at the end of the day God wants
me to live in assertion and boldness that the door “He” has opened for me
cannot be closed by anyone. The bible says that the Lord will step right in
when the devil thinks he is winning just keep the faith. So please don’t escape
from the path of suffering when the Lord leads us through it. I have learned
through my life combats that I should not close a door that the Lord has opened
for me. Because the bible says...when Jesus faced the cross, “He” did not run
away from it. And as I study further I find that Peter tried to
put up a opposition to cut off the right ear of the high
priest’s servant. Jesus told Peter to stop it. Jesus was willing to drink the
cup which “His” Father had given "Him". “He” did not call the cross
as a cup given by the devil or his enemies. “He” called it a cup which “His”
Father had given "Him". “He” was willing to follow the path in which
“His” Father was leading "Him". “Point made”…and I see that God’s
purposes are not always as they seems! I must continue to be faithful to my
Lord and savior Jesus Christ because there is nothing to hard for my God. Glory
Hallelujah!!!! Our God Is a Mighty God.
(1Corinthians 16:9) for a wide door for effective work has opened
for me, and there are many adversaries. "So What Do I Do?" This
verse brings me back to a song by: Lee Ann Womack: she sings; I Hope you
dance. Sit back, close
your eyes, heed the words...and enjoy! This is a very powerful song and it sums
up everything I just wrote. God has blessed me with many open doors. Too the
next time...until then may God richly bless you all in a very special way
always Amen!!!!
