OPENING AND SHUTTING DOORS IN 2004 Word for 2004 Rev. 3:7-13 This is written to God's faithful church. I set at the feet of Jesus before each new year and ask Him for direction for the upcoming year. He has told me that this coming year will be a year of doors opening and doors shutting. He is coming to bless His faithful church. He gave Me the scriptures from Rev. 3:7-13 because He is opening a door that no man can shut and shutting doors that no man can open.
Rev. 3:7-8 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; these things saith He that is holy, He that is true, He that hath the key of David, He that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth; I know thy works: Behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it; For thou hast a little strength, and hast kept My word, and hast not denied My name.
The Lord has showed me that in 2004 He has placed an open door before His faithful church.
The world has brought insult and injury and affliction upon My people saith the Lord. Many people expected My faithful church to go away. Many people prayed that My faithful church would go away but man didn't open this door for the church to walk through, I did. For I am the door, I am the way, the truth and the life and no man comes to the Father unless they come through Me, the door. Man didn't open this door and man can not shut this door. This church, the faithful church shall go throughout the rapture and no man will be able to stop My church. So I am placing an open door before My church. This door is open towards heaven and opened towards man. This door is where My people are able to come and fellowship with Me and this door is where I am able to come to My people and fellowship with them. My kingdom come and My will be done on earth as It is being done in heaven. Not only is this door opened towards heaven and earth but it is also opened into the harvest from inside the church. This door is where My church is able to go into the harvest and compel them to come in and it is also where the harvest is able to come into the church and be presented to Me. For I have seen My faithful church, there were times when you felt like giving up and you watched many around you give up but you did not. You kept the faith. You learned the difference in mans ways or religion and in the difference of true biblical living. It didn't always come easy because for many of you there were lots of change but you were willing to make that change.
Rev. 3:9 Behold I will make them of the synagogue of satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; Behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet and to know that I have loved thee.
The Lord says, that those are not going to worship you but they are going to worship the God that is in you. The Lord has shown me that just as Nebechunezzar acknowledged that the three Hebrew children's God was God so shall the world acknowledge the Lord in His faithful children.
(Isaiah 45:14) Thus saith the Lord, The labour of Egypt, and merchandise of Ethiopia and of the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over unto thee, and they shall be thine; They shall come after thee; In chains they shall come over, and they shall fall down unto thee, they shall make supplication unto thee, saying, surely God is in thee; and there is none else, there is no God.
Because the world needs deliverance, they are coming to the faithful church in 2004 and acknowledge them as being the people of God and seek deliverance and worship our Lord, Jesus.
(Isaiah 49:22-23) Thus saith the Lord God, Behold I will lift up Mine hand to the gentiles, and set up My standard to the people: and they shall bring thy sons in their arms, and thy daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders. And kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and the queens thy nursing mothers; They shall bow down to thee with their face toward the earth, and lick up the dust of thy feet: And thou shalt know that I am the Lord; For they shall not be ashamed that wait for Me.
Also in 2004 there shall be an increase in the ones that are coming to the Lord because The Lord's faithful church has waited and has not giving up so there will be increase in the days ahead for the faithful church.
(Isaiah 60:14) The sons also of them that afflicted thee shall come bending unto thee; and all they that despised thee shall bow themselves down at the soles of thy feet; and they shall call thee, the city of the Lord, the Zion of the Holy One of Isreal.
According to Isaiah 60:1 The glory of the Lord has arisen upon the faithful church and in 2004 because of the glory that is going to be seen and felt upon the faithful church, the world will be drawn to her. The glory comes by spending time in the presence of the Lord and as we the faithful church spend time in His glory even those that have afflicted the church will be drawn to His presence.
Rev. 3:10 Because thou has kept the word of My patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
In 2004 there will be a time of trial or testing for those who are not of the faithful church. This will be to turn them towards the Lord but those who have been faithful will not have to go through this trial. The Lord is saying those who have been tried in the fire already, will not be burned because fire can not burn fire and those who are faithful have already been tried in the furnace of affliction and have come out as pure gold. Therefore those who have been purified will not have to endure what is coming upon the earth to turn those who have not been purified.
But the ones who have been being wooed by the Lord, needs to get into the kingdom before the door shuts for them.
(Psalms 103:9) says that God does not strive with man always.
If those who are being drawn or called by the Lord can not make it in while He is asking them to come, what makes them think that they will be able to make it in when the trials start. The Lord is saying get in now while it is easy to come before those doors shut in 2004.
Rev. 3:11 Behold, I come quickly; Hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
People will try to sway you, tempt you, lure you but do not loose your position that you stand in with the Lord. This crown is what you are going to throw at the saviours feet in heaven. If you loose your crown you will have nothing to present to the King of Kings and all that you would have done for Him would be in vain.
Rev. 3:12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go no more out: And I will write upon him the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from My God; And I will write upon him My new name.
Pillars are strong and they hold up the roof or the head of the building. The faithful church has held up or exalted Jesus, which is the head because of that, the Lord is ready to exalt the faithful church to a new level in 2004. When you write your name upon something, that means that it belongs to you. The faithful church is the Lord's possession. Also when a bride is married her name is changed. Our bride groom is ready to change our name to His name.
May you be blessed in this new season of the Lord that is upon you and take your rightful place as His faithful church.
