God has set before you an open door.. Revelations 3:8

by Johnette Moore

Has God opened your eyes to the mess you are in, and then made clear a way of escape, only for you to turn again and entangle yourself with the yoke of bondage?

“Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.” Galatians 5:1

Before God opens a door ahead, He usually closes the one behind you... I would imagine that He does it this way to make it plain and clear that it is HE who has both closed one door and opened another.  Very often God will give you a glimpse of the door He is about to open while He is yet nudging you to come out of the place you are in so that He can shut the past behind you..

Placing greater importance on preserving what God has called you OUT OF, than you are placing on nurturing what He has called you INTO... will abort your destiny while disturbing the lives of others. Time will NOT stand still while you straddle the fence and suck your thumb. ~As one door closes another opens~ don’t get your foot caught in the closing door, trapping you and preventing  you from ever going through that door God is opening for you.

Unholy desire and inordinate affections for the unclean thing will cause one to die spiritually while that God given dream... that vision... that mandate from God, will become severely mangled in the wheel of destruction caused by your affinity with the past .. Do you want to see the promise land from the distance but never cross the Jordon and partake of the promise?

"Revelation 3:8 - "Behold, I have set before you an open door which no one can shut, because you have a little strength, and have kept My Word and have not denied My name."

Though the door is opened before you.. you will not go through it if you are refusing to leave the area where God is shutting the door. Get out or get trapped inside that closed place..

Being "NICE" is not godly character. Jesus called it as He saw it and moved on. He did not remain behind to pacify the sin thus becoming entangled in it Himself... NO! He identified it!  Spoke to it!  Then He MOVED ON!!! Why INSIST on remaining in that place of comfort to the flesh that is destroying the soul when God has graciously opened your eyes to the mess you are in???

Ignorance is bliss; bliss is fleeting and pampers flesh while causing the spirit to rot and decay. It is the FLESH that wants to stay behind and enjoy the forbidden fruit while the spirit is longing to move on and cultivate the fruit of the spirit within.

·         If we could only grasp the understanding that our disobedience renders such that our being disjointed causes the walls of the KINGDOM to be unstable.. It is our responsibility to repair our own segment of the breech by walking in ABSOLUTE OBEDIENCE... not for our own sake alone... but for KINGDOM SAKE!!!

“Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?” 2 Corinthians 6:14

PRAYER:

Dear God, please close all doors behind me that will hinder my going through that open door that you have set before me... that door of destiny and Kingdom purpose... For Your glory!! You are the only wise God! ...I TRUST YOU LORD! ONLY YOU! Selah!
