Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.
Rev 3:20
An extremely familiar scripture from the bible, in this we see our Lord gently knocking at our door, He will not push or break it open, No! He will knock gently at the door of your heart, if you let Him in then, He will dine with you and you with Him.
Let us go to Isaiah 45:1-2 here in the last part, this same Jesus says,” I will go before you and break the gates of bronze in pieces and cut the bars of iron”. At your door He knocks gently but, your enemy’s gates let it be of any material, make or size, He breaks it for you such is His commitment to you.
It could also be a gate that is remaining closed for generations, Psalm 24:7 says Lift up your heads, O you gates, And, lift them up, O ancient doors, That the King of glory may come in! When the King of glory comes in there is no need of even knocking, breaking, cutting, every door lifts up before Him. Hallelujah!!This King of glory is strong and mighty in battle and the Lord of Hosts.
Judges 16:3 Post Samson’s tryst with the harlot in Gaza, the lords of Philistines were waiting to get hold of him, but at midnight Samson removed the gate of the city, gateposts, bar, and all, which is unparalleled. He did not throw it there but carried it from Gaza which is 100 feet above sea level to Hebron, a distance of 36 miles and 3300 feet above sea level. Only God’s power can help a mere man perform this extraordinary feat of strength. This is the God of Israel! He can empower you to destroy your closed doors.
Walls have been there as long as; we have been there. Brittanica.com says, the Walls of Jericho, are massive stone walls surrounding the settlement in Jericho were at least 13 feet (4 metres) in height and backed by a watchtower or redoubt some 28 feet tall, were intended to protect the settlement and its water supply from human intruders. The walls were so strong , that it was impossible for the Israelites to enter the promised land, but God had spoken and He was not lost at strategy.
Seven priests blowing trumpets went ahead of the ark of the Lord’s covenant, the armed guard marched ahead of the priests who blew the trumpets and the rear guard followed the ark of the Lord. This was done all 7 days except on the 7th day, they went around the wall 7 times and Joshua commanded them to shout, that fortified a wall, fell before the Israelites like a pack of cards, that they could just walk straight in.( Joshua 6)
Rev 3:7 says Jesus holds the key of David, what He opens no one can shut and what He shuts no can open. Are there doors, walls, gates shut before you, impeding your progress?
You have the keys to it all, different doors have different keys, you must know which key to use. That can be found in the word of God, at the place of prayer. But first you will have to let Jesus come in, He is the access code. Let this be a door opening month for you in Jesus mighty name! Amen!!
