My friend, "Everyone who asks, receives. The one who seeks, finds. The one who knocks, the door will be opened." This is God's promise for you from Matthew 7:8. God will open the door and answer when we knock. When Elijah had to cross the Jordan, the waters were rolling at top speed, but he took his cloak, struck the waters, and cried, "Where is the God of Elijah? Where is the God of Elijah?" The waters opened, and he walked through on dry ground. Even today, as we declare, "Where is the Lord Jesus?" and call on His name, the doors will open. The path will open. The heavens will open. Jesus said, "I am the door, and he who walks through Me shall find life and pastures." Jesus has already prepared everything for us. We simply need to walk through Him. We must ask in the name of Jesus.
Today, you have come to ask Him. Ask and you shall receive, so that your joy will be full. Yes, the devil tries to lock all the doors, but the Lord promises in Isaiah 45:2, "I will go before you. I will make the crooked paths straight. I will break the bars of iron. I will open the doors and give you treasures hidden in secret places, riches stored in darkness." This is the heart of Jesus. He wants you to have His riches! Riches of His wisdom, treasures of His righteousness. And along with all these, every blessing you need shall be added to you. Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you. What is knocking at the gate of heaven? It is living in righteousness. As you live in righteousness and obey the will of God, the doors will open, and all the blessings Jesus paid for on the cross will be given to you. May God give you this blessing!
Here is a beautiful testimony of Bro. Gopal and Sis. Shanthi: Gopal, a retired conductor from Coimbatore, was experiencing terrible tiredness and many health issues. Doctors ran several tests and found his trachea blocked with fat deposits, and his heart was also in bad condition. Treatment was expensive, with endless tests prescribed, but his condition worsened. He could no longer walk. His body turned black, and he was crawling from one room to another. Finally, the family carried him to the Bethesda Prayer Center. The prayer intercessors prayed for him, and to his surprise, the very next day, he felt a surge of energy and strength! As days passed, he became stronger. Doctors examined him and said, "You have no problem with the trachea. No surgery is needed. You are 100% well!" Today, he visits the Prayer Tower and prays for others. God answered him. He walked in righteousness, and the door was opened for him. God will do it for you, too.
PRAYER:
Dear Lord, thank You for Your promise that when we ask, we receive, and when we knock, the door will be opened. Lord Jesus, You are the door. So, lead me through to the blessings You have prepared for me. Today, I knock in faith, believing You will open the door before me. Break every iron bar, straighten every crooked path in my life. Pour out Your hidden treasures and riches of righteousness into my soul. Help me to seek first Your Kingdom and live in righteousness every day. Thank You for honouring my faith and unlocking every door to my blessing. In Jesus' name, I pray, Amen.
