KEEP THOSE DOORS SHUT!

Hey Everyone! As I was asking God what to blog about, He surprised me with this hilarious revelation. Check it out!
Question: Have you ever been using the restroom…and before you knew it, the door had swung wide open? Lol
This actually just happened to me this morning. God is so funny.
I COULDN’T BELIEVE IT.
I wasn’t even aware that the door had opened. The last time I saw it, IT WAS SHUT CLOSED!
What would your reaction be?
I don’t know about you - but I got up and closed that door as quickly as I possibly could!!!
Then, God began to minister to me about the Importance of KEEPING DOORS SHUT.
We all have areas in our heart where the enemy has sought to have an in-road or open door into our lives.
Transparent Moment: One of the areas the enemy sought to attack me in was Low Self-esteem.
I thought I was ugly.
Because guys didn’t seem to like me.
I thought I was lame.
Because people didn’t want to be friends with me
When I was a child, the enemy sought to:
Steal my esteem.
Kill my spirit.
And ultimately Destroy my destiny.
BUT I THANK GOD, that Jesus came so I can have real and eternal life, more and better life than what I’ve ever dreamed of (John 10:10 MSG).
When I came to the realization of God’s great plan for my LIFE…I began to meditate on God’s Word and speak what He said about me - in spite of how I felt.
The Word of God was saving my soul (James 1:21).
It will do the same for you.
The Word is so POWERFUL.
As a result, that door of low self-esteem had no choice but to SHUT CLOSE IN MY LIFE - Praise God!
*BUT WARNING*
If you don’t stay on top of it…
If you don't keep confessing the Word of God…
If you don't keep praying to God…
If you don’t maintain your deliverance...by doing what God showed you to GET IT in the first place…THAT’S AN OPEN DOOR FOR THE ENEMY.
Keep those Doors shut.
The enemy is not the ONE opening the doors.
He doesn’t have that power.
He doesn’t have that authority.
YOU DO.
But the enemy will take advantage of any opportunity he sees that doors are wide open if we don’t KEEP THEM SHUT.
That’s why Ephesians 4:27 tells us to, "Leave no [such] room or foothold for the devil [give no opportunity to him]."
So my question to you is - What doors in your life may be open?
Keep those Doors shut.
If you’ve shut the door on LUST - Don’t put yourself in a position to fall.
If you’ve shut the door on FEAR - Don’t entertain fearful thoughts.
If you’ve shut the door on BITTERNESS - Don’t go to sleep mad.
If you’ve shut the door on DEPRESSION - Don’t go to sleep sad.
Deny your Flesh.
Tame your Thoughts.
Release it to God.
Get up & Praise Him.
Keep those Doors shut.
And if you notice a door trying to reopen, close it right away. Don’t wait until it’s swung all the way open! Don’t allow the enemy to have that type of foothold in your life.
You’re too valuable for that.
You’re too anointed for that.
You have too much potential for that.
KEEP THOSE DOORS SHUT
And Watch the New doors of Opportunity God opens in your life!
I really hope this encouraged you!
