the following program is sponsored by friends and partners of Kingdom connection blessed is he who considers the poor the Lord will deliver him in the time of trouble the Lord will preserve him too and he will be blessed or Never he will not deliver him to build it [Music] the work will strengthen him on his bed eventless he was the same day - I just wanted to take a moment and say thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping us with the ongoing ministries that we never stop and have not stopped for years now and it's because of your generous support you know we decided to begin to feed the hungry we decided to take the resources anything we have over we like to take and sew it into mission projects so we've never stopped feeding 270 plus thousand meals a month and Haiti it just goes on we don't say a lot about it we don't stop the sex trafficking ministry that we support on a monthly basis with a $10,000 check every month at the dream Center we don't stop the outreach of new beginnings women's ministry and as God blesses us we are able to say yes or sometimes we have to say no because we don't have the resources but I'm thankful that God has supplied the need to people like you thank you for loving us for caring about Teresa 9 or ministry and all the people here at Kingdom Connection we love you and we're praying for you you keep praying for us god bless you [Music] have your Bibles open them with me to the book of Revelation only go to the book of Revelation chapter three verse seven and eight to the angel in the Church of Philadelphia write these things says he who is holy he who is true he who has the key of David he who opens and no one shuts and shuts and no one opens I know your works see I have set before you an open door and no one can shut it for you have little strength and have kept my word and have not denied my name the Lord is our doorkeeper thing about transition when you're in transition is we find ourselves in that awkward place we're wanting God to open doors and shut doors in episodes of our life there's something about being in transition that's important when it comes to two doors being open and closed when you're in between one place and you're trying to get to another place there's this thing that we call a door how you get from one place to another place is a door a room has a way to access it and you know that's through the door you can't get from where you are to where you want to be unless you go through a door a door separates one room from another which means something is significant because it means that your movement doesn't have to be far for you to make the transition sometimes we think that when we're we've got to make a transition that it's got to be a long journey but the truth is God can set a door in your life and you can transition out of one place walk through the door into another place and it doesn't have to take a lot of movement to make it happen because if you're standing at the door and you're in this room all you have to do is step through the door and you're in the other end your movement was only one step and you're in a whole nother room sometimes we think it takes big movement to make a transition you can be in a room of brokenness one minute and just one step away from brokenness to wholeness and all it takes is a door you can be in a place of sorrow and grief and one moment and God can make the transition where you walk through the door to a place of joy and peace and contentment all it takes is one step and you access it and everything in that room changes doors in the Bible are very important open doors give you access to something shut doors means you don't have access so there are positive and there negatives to adorn a door means you're shut if it's shut then you don't have access if it's open then you have access the Lord is my doorkeeper he opens doors and he shuts doors and if I trust him he's going to let me have the access or deny the access to stop me from missing his plan and his purpose a shut door means several things number one it means protection when you go home after this service you don't leave your door wide open you shut the door because you don't want just anybody coming in while you're trying to sleep tonight a shut door means protection sometimes God shuts the door to protect you you know the children of Israel when they came out of Egyptian bondage and they cross the Red Sea and God said to Moses turn around and look and suddenly Pharaoh and his army had entered into the Red Sea that was parted and standing up on both sides and the Bible said the water caved in and and they vanished it was symbolic of God closing the door saying to Moses these enemies you will see no more in other words what he was saying is I opened doors when I when I parted that ocean I opened it and no man can shut it sometimes we shut a door for privacy sometimes people come over to your house unexpectedly and you say to the kids run through the house pick up everything take it to the back bedroom throw it in there I don't care get it all in there get everything clean every bathroom get everything every piece of laundry every tile everything in your room bring it to the back bedroom throw it in there and then guess what you do don't lie you shut the door why because not everybody needs to have access to private matters in that house you stay in that area and look around but the shut door means that's private what I'm saying to you is you don't need to see the mess I only want you to see the clean part and God knows how to shut the door and deal with the mess in our life and not let everybody see it so he closed his doors for protection and for privacy he opens doors to give you access to something or someone almost all sin can be traced to an open door that that that you open to someone or something that moved into your life because you opened the door in life there are doorkeepers and it's frustrating because door keepers can let you in or they can keep you out door keepers can shut you out and politics or whatever you want to call it in the office or whatever it is they can they can limit you they can stop you from having access someone who controls the access says no to you and they can shut you out and you feel like you don't belong people may try to block your progress people may try to stop you but he opens the door no man can shut the Lord is my doorkeeper and he opens doors no man can shut nobody can keep me from having access even if you don't like me if I'm supposed to be there and God told me I'm going to be there I'll get there in spite of you because the Lord is my doorkeeper turn to somebody and say the Lord is my doorkeeper any door the Lord opens no man can shut and any door the Lord shuts no man can reopen that door man is not in charge of my door the devil is not in charge of my door the Lord is my doorkeeper there are some doors that need to open for you some places you're supposed to be some things you're supposed to do you need access to do these things and I'm here tonight proclaiming over your life that the Lord is your doorkeeper behold I set before you an open door and no man can shut it not only is he our doorkeeper that means something else it doesn't just mean he opens doors and he shuts doors but it also means according to the book of Exodus that when they were commanded to take blood and put it on the door of their house and when the destroyer came he said when I see the blood I'll pass over your door the destroyer may be assigned to your home to destroy it somebody may be fearful of what the destroyer would love to do to your little family but I'm here proclaiming over your family and over your life don't you let fear torment you don't you let the enemy pay you something happened and it's going to come back and haunt you again the Lord is your doorkeeper and he's watching your house and he says I watch and if there's blood on that door when the destroyer wants to come to that house I'm speaking a word to somebody today who's been a little tormented with fear and the Lord says to you I will not allow destruction access to your family again if you'll believe me come on and give God praise for that oh really I will not say it he will not allow the enemy access the destroyer access to my family I will stand over the door cause the Lord is your doorkeeper he says I'll stand over the door and I'll watch over the door of your household if the enemy wants to access put blood on the doorpost and the Lord would be your doorkeeper standing over the door and when the devil knocks he'll say don't answer this one I'll take care of that now this is really important maybe you never thought about this but Isaiah chapter 6 gives a great insight into doors isaiah 6 is when the you know Uzziah died I saw the Lord High and lifted up and his train filled the temple and the glory of God came into the temple and then it makes this strange statement it said in the doorpost moved at the sound of his voice the doorpost moved since the Lord is our doorkeeper sometimes he moves the door and when he speaks the door moves there are some people God does not want to have access to you and yours anymore and he can come with a word and speak a word and when at the sound of his voice the door post moved it was here they did have access but God moved the door and now they don't have access every open door to someone matters so ever so often God has to speak afresh revelatory word to your soul and to your spirit and when he does God speaks the word in the door moves and the next time they back they can't get to you anymore and I'm not talking about necessarily the physical house I'm talking about those emotional psychological soul ties that people can have to you that they just knew how to get to you just all they got to do is show up and say something and they go all the way down in you and get on your last nerve or or touch that emotional thing and suddenly all that old stuff all that old hurt all that old pain it starts coming up and they just know how to do it but you get a word from God they come back they can't get to you anymore because God has moved the door some of you got online and you open the door you should have never opened some of you had a conversation at work with somebody that you should have never opened the door to that conversation should have never got their phone number should have never got the email should a never and you've tried and tried to shake yourself loose and you can't shake yourself loose but the Lord told me to tell you it's time for you to see the door move and the Lord is your door keeper and he's going to move the door and they're not going to be able to get to you like they used to get to I've discovered every time God gives a significant word my door moves and if some people have access to you they will cause you to abort what God wants you to give birth to they'll rob you of your faith you ever met those people I mean you feeling you knew God told you to do something you knew you had faith Lord you were fired up about it and here they come and they walk through and they start talking and by the time they finished you just feel like I was crazy I didn't hear from God it ain't no way I can do that they're right they rob you of your faith they shift you in your thinking in the wrong direction especially when you're in transition when moving from one thing to another thing the Lord must be your doorkeeper not people not what your aunt said not what your crazy friend who's been married four times and they're telling you how to live the married life the people you surround yourself with and transition is critical you need people who call you to your highest place people around you who modify your behavior you got any friends that would that will modify your behavior or do you get around people that are just as crazy and off as you are and all y'all do is just stir each other up for trouble and mischief you need people who don't take you down the wrong road they help modify your behavior and take you to the right place may the door move to those people tonight may your door move in Jesus name at the sound of his voice guard your heart with all diligence the Lord is your doorkeeper you better guard your heart with all diligence because there are people who know how to stir you up how to take you into your past take you into the worst place for you emotionally and psychologically God can speak to that door and say move and they'll know what it is but suddenly your eyes get open and their opinion don't matter to you anymore and then he starts bringing other people who have access to you rather than the same people having the wrong access to you new people are coming into your life and into your loved ones life everybody shout new people new people are coming into my life and into my family's life and the door for the wrong people is about to move because the Lord is my doorkeeper not man not Devils the Lord is my doorkeeper and there's blood on my door you've got a big shout if you believe here's a big one God can shut the door to poverty and open the door to prosperity I like that I said God can shut the door to poverty and open a new door to prosperity and this year don't have to be like every other year why don't you just say Lord I believe you're opening brand-new doors brand new people brand new resources into my life let's take a praise break and thank him this is the word of the Lord and doors are moving even while I'm preaching [Applause] the door to join the angel rolled the stone away and he said on in other words you saying this doors staying open try me he seemed up there sitting up but sitting on the stone of mighty angel and he said I'm just going to hang out here because I want the devil to know God's opening this door and this door is not going to close again the Lord is my doorkeeper shouted the Lord is my doorkeeper shut that door on that season Lord everybody needs a door to open and a door to move and a door to close the door to close on the person who brings out the worst in you people people who have access inappropriately bring the worst out of you the Lord is the doorkeeper watching over my door that thrills me some people are hard to get rid of people who know how to mess up your world are very faithful but God's about to shift your door hallelujah cause your gift to rise up cause your faith to rise up shut doors that no man can open open doors that no man can shut safe to the destroyer of your house I'm the Lord their doorkeeper and you will not come in and take joy out of this house again how many of you how many of you have some doors that you would love to see God closed all right get up and come on down here how many of you've got some doors you'd love for the Lord to open you know you need some open doors you might as well come on down to I know it's full but get in here get in here come on Luke activate your faith move activate your faith activate your faith how many of you have issues with your family that you would love for the Lord as you apply the blood to become the doorkeeper and say to the destroyer not in this house maybe it's a fear thing maybe it's a sickness or disease that maybe the Lord's healed somebody of cancer or something and the enemy says it's coming back it's coming back not if the Lord's your doorkeeper that's a word and the door just moved throw your hands up open your mouth and begin to praise God for just a moment open your mouth and thank him open your mouth and praising open your mouth and declare your words are multipliers when you say it it begins to multiply so say the Lord is my doorkeeper a boldly declare that a new door is opening before me that no man can shut and old doors are closing and no man can open them I've only declare what the pastor preached I received by faith that in the name of Jesus at the word of the Lord the door has moved and what used to have access does not have access anymore the Lord is my doorkeeper and the destroyer will not have this marriage this home this family these children this business deep resources I see a door and I'm moving from brokenness tonus from poverty to blessing from sickness to health in Jesus mighty name now if your boys can give them a child a break [Music] so I want to close with this Hebrews 10 and verse 35 therefore do not cast away your confidence which has a great reward something's coming and it's not going to be normal it's going to have a great reward if you'll maintain your confidence do not cast away your confidence which has great reward for you have need of patience or endurance so that after you have done the will of God you may receive the promise for yet a little while and he who is coming will come and not tarry and the just shall live by faith but if anyone draws back my soul has no pleasure in him I love verse 39 we are not of those who draw back we don't quit we don't give up we're strong and we're mighty we're not weak when I beat up we're not victims we're not defeated we're strong and we're mighty open up your doors be lifted up you everlasting gate and the key to glory will who is the king of thorns the Lord prong and knighting we hope you've enjoyed this
