Friend, I am convinced that God will open doors for you that no one can shut. And when He does, He will expect you to walk through them. Regardless if you need a life-changing miracle or a small window of opportunity, God is willing to help, provided you’re willing to get up and move in the right direction. My only question is, “do you have the guts to walk through the door?”
I remember walking to the stage wondering if it was going to be my last time preaching in a crusade. We couldn’t raise 30% of our budget, and days after the event, we would need close to $40,000 to pay the facilities, vendors and the sound and lighting company. I felt completely helpless and overwhelmed.
The convention center was packed. Over 6,000 people had traveled many miles to experience an encounter with God. Just before I walked up the stairs, a friend grabbed my arm and said, “What an opportunity! God has opened a wonderful door to help thousands of people find hope. If He opened the door, He’ll provide a way for you to get through it.”
Sometimes when an opportunity comes our way, fear and intimidation prevent us from getting up and walking through the door. When we act in accordance with our faith, God responds.
In the days following the event, the entire amount was raised. All the vendors were paid. And 735 people found Christ for the very first time. Although I was weak and weary from the financial battle, God had the last word. Indeed, He opened the door and provided a way to help us through.
Here is a promise you can bank on: “I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name” Revelation. 3:8 (NIV).

Thank you hearing from others like you is what it must have been like for Ephesis Galatia etc to get a letter from Paul
I need a touch from God on my life
I’ll be praying for that.
I have sent a prayer request for my son’s and I thank you for your prayers.
If you please, say a prayer for me. I will keep Rev. 3:8 close to me.
Thanks,
