Watch This If You Need God To Open Doors in Your Life · GOD

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Have you ever found yourself standing in front of a door,
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: pushing and pulling, but it just won't open? This can
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: happen with a door at home, a door at work,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: or a door at a store. But it can also
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: happen in our lives generally. Maybe you're looking for a
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: job but can't find one. Maybe you're seeking a promotion.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Or you may be looking for an opportunity. Or maybe
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: you're looking for a financial breakthrough. Or you're trying to
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: make a relationship work. but it seems impossible. This is
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: what it's like to stand before a closed door. But
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: let me tell you this, our God is in the
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: business of opening doors. God will open doors for you,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: even those doors you thought would never open. As the
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Bible tells us in Revelation 3 verse 8, I know
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: your works. See, I have set before you an open
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: door and no one can shut it. For you have
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: a little strength, have kept my word and have not
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: denied my name. Now, Life can often feel like a
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: long corridor filled with closed doors. We knock, we plead,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: we cry, but the doors sometimes still remain closed. You
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: might be experiencing this in your career, your relationships, or
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: with your personal goals and dream. Remember when the Israelites
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: stood before the Red Sea with Pharaoh's army closing in
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: behind them? They were trapped between a huge sea and
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: an angry army. That sure doesn't sound like fun. It
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: seemed like there was no way out, just like a
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: closed door. But guess what? God, in His infinite wisdom
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: and power, opened a door right through the sea. He
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: opened a door where there was none. That's the God
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: we serve. Our God will make a way where there
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: seems to be no way. He works in ways we
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: cannot see. God will make a way for you And
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: what are the keys to unlock these doors? It's important
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: to remember that faith is needed to see these doors open.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Faith is like believing that the sun will rise tomorrow,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: even when it's dark at night, to see these divine
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: doors open. We need to cultivate a faith that can
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: weather the storm of disappointment. We need the faith of
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Noah who built an ark when the earth was dry.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: We need the faith of David who confronted Goliath with
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: a sling and a stone. In times of doubt, we
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: need to remember Hebrews 11, verse 1, which says, Now
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: of things not seen. Alongside faith, we need prayer. Prayer
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: is our heart speaking directly to God, sharing our fears, dreams,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: and hopes, talking to God about everything, the good and
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: the bad. Prayer is like having a special key to
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: open the doors in our life. In Acts 16, verse 25,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: we find Paul and Silas praying and singing hymns to
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: God at midnight. And what happens next? An earthquake shakes
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: the foundations of the prison, and the doors were opened.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: So your earnest prayer is a powerful key that can
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: unlock divine doors. Praise God. We also need to embrace
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: the truth about God's timings. It's human nature to desire
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: immediate results, instant open doors. I want to have this now.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: I can't wait until tomorrow. But it's important to remember
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: that doors don't always open right away. We might want
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: things to happen quickly, but God knows the right time
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: for everything. Our God sees the bigger picture. He knows
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: when we're truly ready. Remember the story of Abraham and Sarah.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Their story is one of faith and obedience, even when
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: circumstances seemed impossible, even when the doors seemed shut. Despite
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: their old age, they miraculously conceived a son, Isaac. When
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Abraham was 100 years old and Sarah was 90, Isaac
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: was the child through whom God's covenant promise would be fulfilled.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: So they waited for 25 long years. for the promise
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: of a son. Yet in God's perfect timing, Isaac was born.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Let us not forget the most significant door God has
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: opened for us, the door to salvation through Jesus Christ.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: This door leads us to God himself. In John 10
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: verse 9, Jesus tells us, I am the door. If
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: go in and out and find pasture. This verse emphasizes
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Jesus' role as the only way to salvation and having
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: a fulfilling spiritual life. It speaks to his mission to
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: provide eternal life and abundant spiritual nourishment to those who
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: choose to follow him. Jesus Christ is our open door
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: to an eternal relationship with God. Now, what if I
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: told you that you shouldn't be afraid of closed doors?
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Because sometimes a door might remain closed because it's actually
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: a good thing for us. you might be thinking really now,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: what are you talking about? Well, just like when a
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: parent stops a child from going out in the rain,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: God sometimes stops us for our own good. Often we
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: overlook the fact that closed doors can also be blessings
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: in disguise. We only see the immediate disappointment, but God
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: sees the potential harm. He sees the detours that could
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: lead us astray. There's a story in the Bible, in
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: the book of Numbers chapter 22, where a man named
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Balaam wanted to do something bad. Balaam was keen on
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: cursing Israel for a handsome reward. But God sent an
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: angel to close that door, literally by blocking the donkey's path. Next,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: being obedient to God's word is also essential in seeing
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: doors open in our lives. When we align our lives
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: with his commandments, with his will, we align ourselves with
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: his divine favor. Do you remember the story of Joseph?
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Let's look back at his life. Joseph was sold as
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: a slave by his own brothers, but he never stopped
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: living the right way. He never stopped living in obedience
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: to God's will. Despite the trials, he obeyed God, and
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: eventually doors of favor began to open for him. Joseph
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: was lifted from a prison to a palace. What an
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: amazing story. Joseph's story is a touching inspiration for us all. Now,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: as doors open, it's important to be ready. We must
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: be spiritually ready to step through. Look at Esther in
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: the Bible. She was a young Jewish girl who became
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: a queen, and when the time came, she bravely stepped
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: through the open door of opportunity and purpose and saved
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: her people. Esther's open door was her unique position as
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: queen at a crucial time for her people. She risked
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: her own life by walking through this door, but in
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: doing so, she saved her people from destruction. The story
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: is a reminder that God often opens doors of opportunity
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: for a greater purpose. And even in fear, we can
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: find the courage to walk through them. But we must
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: be ready to step through. You should also remember that
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: God doesn't just open doors to immediate success or blessings.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: He opens doors to opportunities, doors to growth, and doors
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: to lessons that build us. Moses spent 40 years in
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: the wilderness before he led the Israelites to freedom. He
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: faced closed door after closed door. But eventually, God opened
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: a door that led to the freedom of his people.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: You want to know what else is great? God also
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: opens unseen doors. Hidden opportunities that may not look like
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: opportunities at first glance. Think about the Bible story of
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: a woman named Ruth. After losing her husband, she followed
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: her mother-in-law, Naomi, back to Bethlehem, a decision that didn't
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: seem beneficial at first. Yet, it was this decision, this
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: unseen door, that led her to Boaz. Ruth met a
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: kind man named Boaz, who she married and had a
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: happy life with. God led her to a blessed marriage,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: and she also became the great-grandmother of King David. You
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: should also consider that God's open doors are not just
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: about reaching our end goals. They're also a part of
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: the journey, the faith that we grow and the character
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: we will build in the process. We might not always
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: understand God's plan. His ways are higher than ours. As
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Isaiah 55 verse 8 to 9 tells us, For my
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: declares the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: and my thoughts than your thoughts. But we certainly know this,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: God will open doors for you. And through these open doors,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: we will experience His unfailing love, grace, and provisions. May
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: this truth echo in your heart today and always. So
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: keep knocking, keep praying, and keep believing, for our God
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: is the God who opens doors. Now, let us go
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: to the Lord in prayer. I want you to pray
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: this prayer with me. either by repeating the words or
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: by saying it in your mind so that you can
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: have all the blessings of this prayer. Let us pray.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Dear Heavenly Father, the creator of all things, the one
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: who formed the universe and holds all power in his hand,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: today I come before your throne of grace with a
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: heart full of thanks and praise. I recognize that every
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: breath I take, every new day I see, and every
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: joy comes from you. You are the source of life,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: and in you I find my existence. I find purpose. Father,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: I thank you for the gift of life. I thank
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: you for the blessings that I see and even for
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: those that I don't see. Lord, I am grateful that
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: you understand my deepest thoughts and emotions. You see my
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: tears even before they fall and you hear my silent prayers.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: There's no part of me that is hidden from your sight.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: I thank you for this intimate knowledge of me. Father,
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: today I lay bare all my fears, anxieties, hopes and
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: dreams before you. I put my trust in you, Lord,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: trusting in your comforting words that you will never leave
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: me nor forsake me. Father, I ask for increased faith.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: I want to have a faith that is unmovable and unshakable.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Give me faith like Noah, who trusted in your words
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: and built an ark. Give me faith like David, a
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: young shepherd boy who faced a giant warrior fearlessly because
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: he believed in you. Increase my faith, Lord, so I
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: can stand strong. believing in your promises, even when the
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: doors seem tightly shut. Lord, help me to be able
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: to recognize and hear your voice whispering. Help me to
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: be like Paul and Silas, who, despite their chains, they
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: prayed to you faithfully. May my prayers rise before you,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: and may they be the key that opens up heavenly
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: doors in my life. O God, your ways are perfect.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Your ways are higher than my ways. I trust your timing.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: knowing that it is always right. Forgive me for sometimes
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: being impatient. Forgive me for sometimes wanting things to happen
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: on my terms and at my pace. Forgive me, Lord,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: and teach me to trust in your timing. Help me
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: to understand that sometimes delay does not mean denial, but
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: rather it is you perfecting all that concerns me. Thank you, Jesus. Father,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: I am thankful for the door of salvation that you've
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: opened through Jesus Christ. I am grateful that this door
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: leads me to peace, joy, righteousness, goodness, and eternal life
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: with you. I pray that I will never lose sight
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: of this precious gift. Help me to walk in the
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: light of your love, living a life that pleases you,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: living a life that brings glory to your name. Lord,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: I trust your plans for my life. May you grant
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: me patience and understanding when doors of opportunities that I
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: deeply desire seem locked. I believe that you close certain
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: doors to protect me. Help me to accept these closed doors,
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: trusting that they are closed for my good. Your word,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: O Lord, is a lamp unto my feet and a
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: light unto my path. Help me to follow your commandments
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: and live in obedience to you. Father, as I obey
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: your commandments, may it open doors of favor and blessings
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: in my life. Father, I pray for courage to step
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: through the doors you open for me. May I bravely
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: face the opportunities and challenges that come my way. Make
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: me ready, Lord, to enter through the doors you have
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: prepared for me. In every circumstance, Lord, help me to
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: learn and grow. May I view every challenge as an
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: opportunity to become a better person. Lord, may you open
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: my eyes to see the doors you have opened for
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: me that I might not even be aware of. Help
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: me to recognize these unseen doors and give me the
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: strength to walk through them. May you open my eyes
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: to see the treasures of the hidden and the untapped potentials.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: that you have placed in my path. Father, above all,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: I ask for your will to be done in my life.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: I surrender my plans, dreams, and desires to you. Lead
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: me on the path that you have set for me.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: Help me to remember that life is not just about
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: achieving my goals, but also about growing, learning, and becoming
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: more like you. O Lord, meet me at the point
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: of my needs. I ask you to purge and clear
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: obstacles away from my life. that may affect my God-given destiny.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: All doors of goodness that have been closed against me,
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: I command it to open in Jesus' name. Father, deliver
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: me from all evil attempts by the wicked ones against
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: my life and my destiny. I declare that everything is
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: working for me and not against me. May the blessings
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: of God abide with me daily. Lord, thank you for
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: opening doors of blessings and opportunity for me and my
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: loved ones. I declare the doors of happiness, health, and
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: wealth to be opened for us in the name of Jesus,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: to the glory and honor of your name. As I
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: pray now, may everything that represents sorrow, setback, frustration, shame,
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: and stagnation be destroyed in the name of Jesus. Father,
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: I declare myself free from every generational curse and chains
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: that may be holding me back from being who God
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: wants me to be. In the name of Jesus, I
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: bind every demonic bondage, satanic forces, evil monitors and satellites
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: that seeks to come against my open doors and breakthrough.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: May every spirit of lack, want and poverty over my
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: life be destroyed in Jesus' name. Bless me indeed, O Lord.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: Open my door to prosperity and hide me from my enemies.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Lord, for listening to my prayer. I trust
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: in you, my God, the opener of doors. And I
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: am confident that you will guide me every step of
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: the way. I pray in the powerful name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: No matter how bad the situation may be, prayer always
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: turns things around. I hope all closed doors to your
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: success and happiness will be opened in the name of Jesus.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: Now claim this powerful prayer by typing the word Amen
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: in the comment section below. May the Lord bless you
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: abundantly and powerfully. I declare that all the blessings of
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: this prayer are now upon you. In the name of Jesus.
