Today's Word 03-04-26 When God Closes the Door · The Early Morning Praise Party w/ Sherry Mackey

  Speaker 1: Nobody, and I do mean nobody. Does it like your
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: early morning praise party. I am a Sherry Mackie. It
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: is time right now for today's word. When God closes
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: the door. When God closes the door, Revelation three and
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: seven says, these are the words of Him who is
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: holy and true, who holds the key of David. What
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: no one can open. You know, one of the hardest
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: things in life is accepting the ending of a relationship,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: whether it's a friendship that slowly fades, a romantic relationship
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: that unexpectedly ends, or a connection you thought would last forever.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: The pain can feel personal questions rise up. What did
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: I do wrong? Why didn't it work? Why would God
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: allow this? But Revelation reminds us of something so powerful.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: God holds the key. He is the one who opens
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: doors no one can shut, and he also shuts doors
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: no one can open. That means every relationship in your
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: life has passed through his hands first. Nothing is caught
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: him by surprise. Sometimes we fight to keep doors open that.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: God has already closed.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: We replay conversations trying to fix what's broken, or hold
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: on to memories longer than we should. But when God
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: shuts the door, no amount of effort can force it
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: back open. And that's not punishment, that's protection. See, there
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: are relationships that are assignments, and there are relationships that
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: are alignments. Some people are sick to help you for
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: a season. They are like scaffolding around a building under construction.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: The scaffolding is necessary while the structure is going up.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: It provides support and stability. But once the building is
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: strong enough, the scaffolding, y'all, has to come down. If
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: it stays too long, it blocks the view of what
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: the building was meant to become well. In the same way,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: some people were a part of your growth process, but
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: they are not a part of your destiny. If they remained,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: they might limit your expansion, your confidence. You're calling what
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: feels like loss may actually be liberation. Trusting God is necessary, y'all.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: We gotta trust Him in necessary endings, and that requires maturity.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: It means saying, Lord, I don't understand this, and it
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: does hurt, but I trust that you see what I
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: cannot see. It means believing that if he allowed someone
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: to exit your life, it's because he has someone better
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: suited for where you are going. Divine connections are often
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: waiting on the other side of difficult adies. So instead
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: of chasing closed doors, began preparing for open ones.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Instead of grieving what ended.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Forever, ask God what new beginning is forming. He is
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: not removing people to leave you empty. He is rearranging
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: your life to bring you into greater purpose, greater peace,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: and greater fulfillment. When God closes a door, it's not rejection,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: it's read direction. And when he opens the right door,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: no person, no mistake, and no circumstance can shut it. Father,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: thank you for being the keeper of closed doors in
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: my life. God, help us to trust when relationships end
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: and not to cling to what you released. Give us
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: peace and the transitions and faith when the connections are coming.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: God, you are preparing.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: For us something new, something amazing, And we believe you're
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: ordering our steps and surrounding us with the right people
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: for our destiny. And Jesus, that's your word for today.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Take it applied to your everyday life and you continue
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: to be encouraged and inspired. Is your early budding praise party.
• 4:07

• 4:11

• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Give us peace and the transitions, and faith when the
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: connections are coming.
• 4:21

• 4:23

• 4:28
