  SPEAKER_00: God bless you.
• 0:01
  SPEAKER_00: This is Pastor Millie.
• 0:03
  SPEAKER_00: Welcome to the secret place.
• 0:05
  SPEAKER_00: A place where you can let your guard down.
• 0:08
  SPEAKER_00: You can feel the breeze.
• 0:10
  SPEAKER_00: Because you separate for God and you tell God, God, listen to my cries.
• 0:16
  SPEAKER_00: Listen to my prayer.
• 0:18
  SPEAKER_00: God, take me to this holy mountain where I can feel you, where it's only you and me.
• 0:25
  SPEAKER_00: And God will do that.
• 0:27
  SPEAKER_00: God will start giving you that inner strength for you to carry on, continue strong, because we know that the time is getting closer.
• 0:37
  SPEAKER_00: And Jesus is coming so soon.
• 0:40
  SPEAKER_00: And we gotta remain still, remain focused, remain in him so he can remain in us.
• 0:50
  SPEAKER_00: And today I want to speak to somebody here today.
• 0:54
  SPEAKER_00: Somebody that's hearing my messages and and they're feeling good because they know there is hope after this long bridge.
• 1:02
  SPEAKER_00: There is hope.
• 1:03
  SPEAKER_00: So I want to let you know that when God closes the door, don't force it open, don't try to control the knob, don't try to control why did it close, why it didn't close, and just say thank you, Lord, because you see things that I don't see, you hear conversations that I don't hear.
• 1:26
  SPEAKER_00: And thank you, Lord, because in spite of everything, you are my God, and I serve you wholeheartedly.
• 1:34
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, so the word of God says in Revelation chapter 3, verse 7, what he opens, no one can shut, and what he shuts, no one can open.
• 1:46
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, sometimes in our life we find ourselves praying, and sometimes we pray for an opportunity, a relationship, or even for a certain outcome.
• 1:58
  SPEAKER_00: Sometimes we pray and then we say, What's going on, God?
• 2:03
  SPEAKER_00: Because we pray, and then after we pray, what happened?
• 2:07
  SPEAKER_00: The door closes, and our first reaction may be, you know what?
• 2:13
  SPEAKER_00: Let me push harder, or let me try to reopen that door.
• 2:17
  SPEAKER_00: Let me try to open that door that God has allowed to close.
• 2:21
  SPEAKER_00: And let me tell you something: God is the one that can open, and God is the one that can close.
• 2:29
  SPEAKER_00: But remember this, and I want you to listen to this word because I'm speaking to someone here that feels that all the opportunities are done.
• 2:38
  SPEAKER_00: No, it's not.
• 2:39
  SPEAKER_00: Every closed door is not rejection at all.
• 2:43
  SPEAKER_00: Sometimes it is a protection, sometimes God's got to close because he's protecting you, and sometimes we don't see because we can't see beyond, but God is a God that can see beyond.
• 2:57
  SPEAKER_00: He knows your future, he knows the years you have left, he knows everything that they do to you, He knows everything that happens, and He's the only one that can fight for you and protect you.
• 3:11
  SPEAKER_00: God can see what is on the other side of that door, but we cannot see.
• 3:17
  SPEAKER_00: Right now, if you take a door and you close it, can you see what's on the other side of that door?
• 3:23
  SPEAKER_00: Can you see who's walking on the other side of that door?
• 3:26
  SPEAKER_00: Can you hear what they're talking on the other side of the door?
• 3:30
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 3:31
  SPEAKER_00: But God sees, God hears.
• 3:34
  SPEAKER_00: So if God closed something in your life and you feel that God has failed you, he has not failed you.
• 3:42
  SPEAKER_00: Trust him enough not to force your way back into it, but trust him enough to say, Lord, I will continue to walk.
• 3:51
  SPEAKER_00: You do not have to chase anything that God is asking you to release.
• 3:59
  SPEAKER_00: Do not chase.
• 4:01
  SPEAKER_00: Let God be the one to guide.
• 4:04
  SPEAKER_00: It says that God is the God who guides the steps of the righteous.
• 4:10
  SPEAKER_00: He will guide you no matter what.
• 4:12
  SPEAKER_00: So a closed door can redirect you towards the place where God wants you.
• 4:18
  SPEAKER_00: Okay?
• 4:19
  SPEAKER_00: Trust the one who holds the keys.
• 4:22
  SPEAKER_00: When God opens the right door, no person can ever shut it down.
• 4:29
  SPEAKER_00: Remember this the higher the blessing, the higher the devil.
• 4:34
  SPEAKER_00: When there is a blessing coming, it's like they say, all hell breaks loose.
• 4:40
  SPEAKER_00: But guess what?
• 4:41
  SPEAKER_00: You serve the God that's told you you will pass through the fires, you will pass through the high waters, but guess what?
• 4:50
  SPEAKER_00: He's there with you at all times.
• 4:52
  SPEAKER_00: I want to say this prayer just for you today.
• 4:55
  SPEAKER_00: Father God, in the mighty name of Jesus, Lord, we come before you as we separate in our secret place, Lord.
• 5:02
  SPEAKER_00: Give us the wisdom to recognize, Father God, the doors that you are closing and encourage us to release what is not for us, Father God.
• 5:12
  SPEAKER_00: Protect us, Father God, from what we cannot see and guide us, Father God, towards the new doors, Father God.
• 5:21
  SPEAKER_00: Father God, you are the God of purpose, you are the God of hope, you are the God of opportunity, and allow us always, Father God, to see the good in every situation because you are the God that is faithful.
• 5:35
  SPEAKER_00: In the name of Jesus we pray.
• 5:38
  SPEAKER_00: Amen.
• 5:38
  SPEAKER_00: God bless you.
