3. The wisdom of closing
some doors
In our lives we need to have Godâs
wisdom and revelation to know the doors
that are giving legal rights to the enemy.
There are doors like the ones of
idolatry, witchcraft, sexual
sins, shocks, traumas, etc, that need to
be properly shut down to cut every legal
right to the enemy.
4. Closing some doors
⢠Some open doors could stop or hinder
us from seen the doors of blessings
that are open for us.
⢠Closing them will help us out to focus in
what really is the most necessary and
best for us.
⢠In closing this type of doors we are
making room to receive what God has
for us.
8. Psalm 141:3
(NKJV)
3 Set a
guard, O LORD, o
ver my mouth;
Keep watch
over the door of
my lips.
The door of
my lips
9. Matthew 6:6
(NKJV)
6 But you, when you pray,
go into your room, and
when you have shut your
door, pray to your Father
who is in the secret place ;
and your Father who sees
in secret will reward you
openly.
Close the door to the
outside world.
10. The closing of this door speaks of a
deeper intimacy with the Lord.
⢠Praying in Church, in your Cell, in your group, with
friends, with your family, is good and powerful and
gives fruit.
⢠But coming into one on one with the Lord is a face
to Face encounter. Here is where we have the
knowing him, here we learn to trust him, in this
place of confidence we pour our innermost
thoughts and he responds with His.
⢠Here is when Deep calls unto deep takes place.
Here is where revelation, instructions, confidence
and empowerment takes place.
11. 2 Kings 4:4
New King James
Version (NKJV)
4 And when you
have come in, you
shall shut the door
behind you and your
sons; then pour it
into all those
vessels, and set
aside the full ones.â
Close the door
of distraction
and unbelief
12. Key to
Prosperity
Closing your door to people
who distract your attention
from heavenly duties,
To those who donât bring
encouragement to you,
To those who donât want to
see you prospering,
To those who are an obstacle
in establishing an intimate
relationship with the Lord,
To those who want to suck
out of you the anointing God
has giving you.
Closing those doors will open
the door of supernatural
prosperity and increase.
13. It is your
decision
ďśWhatever passed in the
past is past.
ďśClose this door, turn
around, face the
future, open that door and
step through it.
ďśYou can only see what is
in front of you.
ďśIf you face the door of your
past, you cannot see the
door to the future.
ďśYou must give your back to
the past and face the
promising future that is laid
for you.
ďśThere are doors that you
need to conquer, you need
to take initiative, as soon as
you grab the handle and turn
it, you will succeed.
14. Door to the future
⢠Have you ever see yourself as a
door?
⢠In opening yourself as a door
you invite the King of Glory to
come in and dwell in you.
⢠Opening your doors let the
abundant blessings of God flood
your life.
15. We are those
gates
⢠Psalm 24:9 (NIV)
⢠9 Lift up your
heads, you gates;
lift them up, you
ancient doors,
that the King of
glory may come in.
When we lift up our
heads seeking His
face, looking to see
his beauty,
When we lift up the
gates of our eyes, of
our ears of our
mouths, of our hearts;
we as a door, as a
gate are opening
ourselves so the King
of glory may come in
and take possession
of our lives and seat
in the throne of our
hearts!
16. ⢠We are ancient gates, as the Lord himself
planned from millenniums ago that we may
become leaving creatures at his appointed
time.
⢠We are everlasting doors, because through
salvation in Christ we have everlasting life!
17. 2 Chronicles 29:3
(NKJV)
Hezekiah Cleanses
the Temple
3 In the first year of
his reign, in the first
month, he opened
the doors of the
house of the LORD
and repaired them.
Doors of THE
HOUSE OF
THE LORD
18. In His Likeness
⢠John 10:9; 9 I am the doorâŚ
⢠1 Cor. 3:9; 9 you are Godâs building.
⢠Everyone of us is Godâs Building.
⢠A Building has access doors.
⢠So we have/are a door.
⢠Letâs open our house, cleanse our
temple, and fix the doors.
19. Matthew 7:7
(NKJV)
Keep
Asking, Seeking, Knoc
king
7 âAsk, and it will be
given to you;
seek, and you will
find; knock, and it will
be opened to you.
As He does,
I should do it.
I NEED TO
KEEP
KNOCKING.
20. What is an OPEN DOOR
⢠open door n.
⢠1. Unhindered opportunity; free access.
⢠2. Admission to all on equal terms.
⢠3. A policy whereby a nation trades with all
other nations on equal terms.
⢠oâ˛pen-doorⲠ(Ĺâ˛pÉn-dĂ´râ˛, -dĹrâ˛) adj.
⢠The American HeritageŽ Dictionary of the English
Language, Fourth Edition copyright Š2000 by Houghton
Mifflin Company.
21. Fully open
door
Easily to be found.
You just need to
exercise your will and
enter or exit through the
door.
As in the case of the
Lord, He is a 24/7
Open Door. You can
call to Him any time.
22. Door left
ajar
It will require some effort
from your part to first
localize the door, and
then exercise your will to
push the door to open it
completely, then you will
be able to pass through
the door.
Some opportunities
are like the position
of this door, you need
to spot it, and act
accordingly.
23. Closed, unloc
ked, invitation
sign
As in a shop, a store, a
salon, at the Doctor, etc.
You see the sign and
it is your decision to
enter or pass by, but
the door is open.
24. Closed but
unlock
You grab the
handle, turn it
around and push
the door open, so
you can enter.
Again action will
follow your
determination of
entering
25. The functionality of keys
⢠Keys are used to lock or unlock
doors.
⢠In the following slides you will see
some hints about some keys that
need to be used in order to open
doors that will usher us to our
promised blessings.
26. Closed and locked
⢠There are other doors that are
closed and locked, but you have the
right key, the authority and the
power to unlock those doors and
enter anytime you wish.
27. Using a
conventional door
key
As in entering in your
house, you keep the key on you
and you can use it any time you
wish.
You hold the key, which is your
right to enter, you take the
initiative to enter.
This key, points out to the
freedom of access that God
has given to every individual.
By ourselves, movements in
the natural and in the spiritual
realm are limited.
28. Using a
pass-card
â˘There are doors than can be
locked, but if you have a given
programmed pass-card key, you will
be able to open the door.
â˘As in my case in the building
where I work, my card is a Master
Card; I can open any door at any
time .
â˘In the plan of God, He has
programmed that we may have a
24/7 pass into his Household, into
his Kingdom. Once we are
saved, we are able to use this
pass, which is the Blood of the
Lamb of God, and enter in different
areas of His Kingdom at any time
29. Limited
access ⢠I believe this points out to special
occasions and special places that
we as Christians can access.
⢠For instance the anointing for
service will stay on us for certain
time, after that it will fade away.
⢠Each one of us have certain
authority and power that we use in
accordance with our faith.
⢠I have access to healing people up
to certain degree.
⢠I havenât resurrected anyone yet.
⢠My prophetic anointing is still
growing and in a sharpening time.
⢠My teaching and preaching abilities
are not fully developed and not fully
used.
â˘Some people can
access some doors
only during a
established schedule.
â˘After that period of
time the card will not
give them access.
30. Programming of the
access and times
These cards can be temporarily
suspended or cancelled, or
increased in itâs area of
access, according with the needs
and plan of Senior Management.
As well if damaged or lose it, they
can be replaced after proper
request.
Promotion comes from the
Lord, He can test us, approve or
delay the access to some doors
that we are trying to enter.
On His time He will give us the
access to areas of mayor
anointing and
responsibilities, both in the
physical as in the spiritual realm.
He has his plan for each
one of us.
31. LastlyâŚ
⢠We are called to be alert and use
doors that our fellow Christian
friends can open for us.
⢠Likewise we should be attentive
when the occasion to open door for
others comes on our way
33. ⢠Opening doors for others will
cause us to receive a harvest of
open doors.
⢠Giving preference to the needs
of others over our own ones will
accelerated in the spiritual
realm the opening of doors for
us.
34. Finally
⢠I have split this presentation in three parts.
⢠The other two ones are:
⢠âThe keys for your open doorsâ
⢠âGod opens some doors for usâ
⢠If you look into all of them, you will have a better
understanding of what doors are naturally opened
for us, the ones that we need to close, and take the
keys that God has giving us un stand walk and open
those doors.
