The Open Door

Acts 16:25-28King James Version (KJV)

25 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.

26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed.

27 And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled.

28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here.

Dear Friends,

Is it midnight in an area of your life?  Do you feel there is a situation hidden to sunlight or the light of God's Son?  Do you feel that there is an obstacle that cannot be overcome?  Has the enemy distracted you in having you think that mountains cannot be removed?

Well my brothers and sisters the question is:

"Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?" 

   - Isaiah 53:1

The word of the Lord is true.  Prayer does effect change.  Prayer changes people.  The same God who responded to the sincere cries of Paul and Silas at midnight in the Roman jail is still the Master of opening doors.

In faith look for the open door.  

Jesus said:

"Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.

 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.

 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.

 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.

 This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.

 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep." - St. John 10:1-7

Look to the Open Door.  Jesus is The Open Door.

in Christ,
