It's great to be with you today. 8 00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:20,800 Speaker 1: I hope you'll stay connected with us during the week 9 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:24,640 Speaker 1: through our daily podcast, our YouTube channel, social media. 10 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,040 Speaker 3: We'll keep you encouraged and inspired. 11 00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,080 Speaker 1: I'd like to start with something funny, and I heard 12 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:33,239 Speaker 1: about this pastor. He was new in town and he 13 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:35,840 Speaker 1: was going door to door inviting people to his church. 14 00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:38,280 Speaker 1: And he knocked on this one door and he could 15 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:41,279 Speaker 1: tell someone was home, but no one would answer. So 16 00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:43,680 Speaker 1: he took his business card out and wrote on the 17 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:47,519 Speaker 1: back the scripture reference Revelation three twenty and left it 18 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:51,160 Speaker 1: on the door. Next Sunday after service and usher handed 19 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,320 Speaker 1: him the same card under what the pastor had written 20 00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:56,920 Speaker 1: was the scripture reference Genesis three ten. 21 00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,400 Speaker 3: Here's what they say, Revelation three twenty. 22 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 1: The pastor's words behold, I stand at the door and knock. 23 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 1: If anyone opens the door, I will come in. The 24 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 1: reply was Genesis three ten. It says I heard your voice, 25 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 1: and I was afraid because I was naked. 26 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:15,400 Speaker 4: Say like you mean it. 27 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 1: This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. 28 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,400 Speaker 1: I have what it says I have. I can do 29 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 1: what it says I can do. Today I will be 30 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,959 Speaker 1: taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind 31 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 1: is alert, my heart is perceptive. I will never be 32 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 1: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want 33 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,480 Speaker 1: to talk to you today about the God who opens doors. 34 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,040 Speaker 1: We all face situations where it seems like the door 35 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,680 Speaker 1: is shut. We're working hard but not getting good breaks. 36 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 1: The loan didn't go through, we still haven't met anyone. 37 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 1: Thoughts will tell you that door is never going to open. 38 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 1: You can't accomplish your dreams. You don't have the training. 39 00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 3: You're locked out. 40 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 1: Sometimes it's like a door has been slammed in our face. 41 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 1: Person walked away, friend betrayed us, we came down. 42 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 3: With an illness. The door looks permanently locked. 43 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 1: But the scripture says God will open doors that no 44 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:18,240 Speaker 1: person can shut. God is your doorkeeper. He's in control 45 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,080 Speaker 1: of the doors in your life. You may be up 46 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 1: against a door that seems locked. No way you can 47 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 1: get well, No way you can start your business, No 48 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 1: way you can break that addiction. 49 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 3: That door is dead, vaulted, chained. 50 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,639 Speaker 1: No, when it's your time, the most tied God will 51 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 1: break the chains. 52 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 3: He's about to unlock some doors that have been locked. 53 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 1: You're about to walk in to what you've been shut 54 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:47,640 Speaker 1: out of, promotion, healing, freedom, the right people don't believe 55 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 1: the lies that the doors are permanently closed. The God 56 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 1: who opens doors is about to show out. 57 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 3: In your life. 58 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 1: Maybe you've been shut out of abundance, stuck behind a 59 00:02:58,720 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 1: door of lock. 60 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:00,800 Speaker 3: Not enough. 61 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 1: I can see that door opening right now. God is 62 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 1: doing a new thing. He's about to take you where 63 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 1: you've never been. The Israelites wandered in the desert forty years, 64 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 1: shut out of the Promised land. 65 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 3: They could see it, but they couldn't go in it. 66 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 3: The door was closed. 67 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 1: The people living there were bigger, stronger, more powerful. 68 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 3: They couldn't defeat them. 69 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:29,399 Speaker 1: But just because the door has been closed doesn't mean 70 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 1: it's going to stay closed. God told Joshua, it's time 71 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 1: to possess the land. He was saying, Joshua, I know 72 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 1: the door has been shut I haven't allowed you to 73 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 1: go in. The obstacles were too big. But this is 74 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 1: a new season. I'm going to. 75 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 3: Open this door so you can enter the promised land. 76 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 1: Doors that have been closed a long time for you 77 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 1: are about to open, David said in Psalm twenty four. 78 00:03:56,240 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 1: Open up ancient gates, and the King of Glory will 79 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 1: come in. Ancient gates means things that have been shut 80 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 1: for years, doors that have been closed in your family 81 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 1: line for generations. Things you've been shut out of dealing 82 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 1: with addictions, depression, low self esteem, mediocrity. Those ancient gates 83 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:22,159 Speaker 1: are about to open up. Like the Israelites, You're about 84 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 1: to walk into your promised land to blessings, freedom, wholeness, success. 85 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,479 Speaker 1: I can see chains breaking right now, dead boats coming off, 86 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 1: doors opening. You're coming out of generational curses, generational limitations, 87 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 1: generational struggles, into generational blessings. What's been stored up for 88 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 1: your family is about to be released with you. What's 89 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 1: been held back, what should have been yours. It's not lost, 90 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,840 Speaker 1: it's been accumulating. Ancient gates are going to open up. 91 00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 3: You couldn't make this happen. 92 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 1: It's the King of Glory, It's the most tied God, 93 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,599 Speaker 1: it's your doorkeeper doing what only he can do. 94 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:07,040 Speaker 3: Here's the key. 95 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 1: The doors that have been closed weren't closed by accident. 96 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,600 Speaker 1: God was getting you prepared for what's next. The scripture 97 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 1: says he didn't take the Israelites the shortest route to 98 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:23,040 Speaker 1: the Promised Land because they weren't ready for war. They 99 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 1: would have been defeated by their enemies. That time you've 100 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: been shut out, the door has been closed, was not wasted. 101 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,920 Speaker 1: God was doing a work in you, getting you stronger, 102 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 1: making sure you could carry the weight of glory. You 103 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 1: were faithful, You kept doing the right thing. You didn't 104 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 1: complain when it wasn't fair. 105 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 3: You didn't get bitter over who did you wrong. You 106 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,600 Speaker 3: passed the test. You prove to God that you would 107 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 3: be faithful. 108 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 1: Now you're going to come into favor, resources, opportunities. You're 109 00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:01,479 Speaker 1: going to see what your parents and grandparents dreamed of. 110 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,040 Speaker 1: You're going to walk into the blessing that they prayed for. 111 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 1: These ancient gates are about to open for you. It's 112 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 1: because of your grandmother's prayers. It's because your great grandfather 113 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 1: honored God. 114 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 3: You're going to see generational blessings. 115 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:22,479 Speaker 1: My father dreamed of having an auditorium with twenty thousand seats. 116 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 1: He talked about how one day he was going to 117 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 1: buy the Compact Center. This is when he had an 118 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:32,480 Speaker 1: auditorium that held two thousand people, years before the rockets 119 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:33,479 Speaker 1: ever moved out. 120 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 3: Of this facility. God put the dream in him. 121 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:40,280 Speaker 1: He could sense something big was coming, but that door 122 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 1: never opened. He stayed shut out. But God knows what 123 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:48,360 Speaker 1: he's doing. He's a faithful God. The fulfillment of that 124 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:52,040 Speaker 1: dream wasn't for my father. It was for his children. 125 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:54,359 Speaker 1: That was an ancient. 126 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 3: Gait that had been shut. It was in our family line. 127 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:01,279 Speaker 1: God had already promised it at the right time. The 128 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 1: doorkeeper opened that ancient gate. I'm living in the dream 129 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 1: that started with my father. That he was very influential, 130 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 1: he was very blessed, but he never saw the favor 131 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 1: that God has shown me. I say this in humility, 132 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 1: giving God all the credit. But God has taken me 133 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 1: much further than my father. I often think about what 134 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 1: would my father think now. He couldn't even fathom what 135 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 1: God is doing. I believe there are blessings stored up 136 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 1: in your family line, your parents, those that went before you. 137 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 1: They may have seen God's goodness. They were blessed, but 138 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 1: they didn't realize it was limited. They were in some 139 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 1: way still locked out. Like God did with me. You're 140 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 1: going to see ancient gates open up. You're going to 141 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 1: see the fullness of what God had in mind. Maybe 142 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 1: there's been depression in your family line, sickness is everybody 143 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 1: gets hard, disease, everyone gets divorced, strife, division. It's like 144 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 1: you've been locked out a good relationships, locked out of happiness, 145 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 1: locked out of good health. God is saying, those ancient 146 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 1: gates are about to open. Doors that have been shut 147 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 1: for your family, Chains that have limited you for generations. 148 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 3: Are being broken. 149 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 1: God is releasing you into increase, into new levels, into 150 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 1: something that you've never seen. 151 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 3: It wasn't what you did. 152 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 1: It was the doorkeeper showing your favor, bringing the right people, 153 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,840 Speaker 1: freeing you from that addiction, lifting you out of the 154 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 1: struggle and lack into more than a night. I get 155 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,560 Speaker 1: this down in your spirit. Doors are about to open. 156 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:46,960 Speaker 1: God's going to take you where you can't go on 157 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:51,320 Speaker 1: your own. Chains that have kept those doors locked, they're dead, vaulted, 158 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 1: they look permanent. They are no match for our God. 159 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 1: So one Oh seven says, he broke down their gates 160 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 1: of bronze. He cut into their bars of iron. You 161 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,320 Speaker 1: may have struggled with the sickness a long time. 162 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 3: Looks like you'll never get well. The door to health has. 163 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 1: Been chained, so to speak. I can see the chain breaking. 164 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 1: I can see the hinges moving. God's about to do 165 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 1: something supernatural or that addiction, depression, anxiety may seem permanent. 166 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 1: Every thought tells you you'll have to live with it. 167 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 1: You've been locked out of freedom. I can see the 168 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 1: dead bolt turning. I can see the door starting to open. 169 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,440 Speaker 1: You're about to walk into wholeness. But it seems like 170 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,480 Speaker 1: you can't accomplish your dream. You don't have the connection. 171 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 1: Loan didn't go through. Like it's an iron door, it'll 172 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,680 Speaker 1: never move. I can see those bars of iron being 173 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:51,319 Speaker 1: cut into. I can see God doing something unusual, uncommon. 174 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:55,480 Speaker 1: He's about to unlock some things that have been limiting you. 175 00:09:56,240 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 1: Doors that look impossible are about to suddenly open. A 176 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:04,280 Speaker 1: door to healing, a door to freedom, a door to promotion, 177 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 1: a door to a spouse, a door to a baby. 178 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:10,840 Speaker 1: The report may say you can't have children. 179 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 3: You've tried. 180 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 1: Everything seems like the door is locked. Medically speaking, it's 181 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 1: not going to happen, nor get ready. The doorkeeper is 182 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,840 Speaker 1: about to open up your wound. Against all odds, You're 183 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 1: going to conceive and have that baby you've been dreaming about. 184 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 1: You've been single a long time. That door to meeting 185 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 1: someone has been closed. Thoughts will tell you you'll always be lonely. No, 186 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 1: a door is about to open. You're about to see 187 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 1: a divine connection. The right person is already in Rouph. 188 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 1: The reason you haven't seen them yet is they've been 189 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:50,320 Speaker 1: behind a closed door. The good news is God is 190 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 1: your doorkeeper. He knows not only how to open the door, 191 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,720 Speaker 1: but when to open the door when it's the right time. 192 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,560 Speaker 1: All the forces of darkness he cannot stop what God 193 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 1: has purpose for your life. You need to tell every 194 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 1: closed door you are not permanent. You will not keep 195 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 1: me from my destiny. You don't have the final say. 196 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 1: My doorkeeper has the final say. He's promised he will 197 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 1: open doors no person can shut. 198 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 3: He will cut through bars of iron. He will break 199 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 3: chains to get me into my purpose. 200 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 1: I can see right now through my eyes of faith, 201 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 1: doors opening. 202 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:30,680 Speaker 3: I can see chains breaking. 203 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 1: I can see you stepping into new levels of freedom, health, favor, abundance. 204 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 1: I can see ancient gates, gates that have held you 205 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 1: back for years. They're opening up. The King of Glory 206 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 1: is about to come in. He's going to do things 207 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 1: you can't explain. It's going to be supernatural doors opening 208 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 1: you never dream would open. 209 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 3: Promotion comeing to you. 210 00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,960 Speaker 1: The right people showing up, healing when the report says 211 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 1: there's no way. 212 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 3: Freedom from things that have limited you. 213 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 1: These open doors are going to catapult you into a 214 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:09,679 Speaker 1: new level of your destiny. 215 00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:14,560 Speaker 3: Acts Chapter twelve. King Herod had Peter arrested and put 216 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 3: in prison. Herod was against the Church. 217 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 1: He had already had James, one of the apostles killed, 218 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 1: looked like Peter would be next. He was in the 219 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:28,680 Speaker 1: deepest part of the prison, chained between two guards. Herod 220 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 1: had assigned sixteen soldiers to watch over Peter. There were 221 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:36,080 Speaker 1: two guard stations with two doors he would have to pass. 222 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 1: On top of that, there was a huge iron gate 223 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 1: at the entrance of the property. 224 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 3: Herod went to great links. 225 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 1: To make sure that Peter didn't escape. What he didn't 226 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 1: realize was he was not the doorkeeper. He was not 227 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 1: in control of Peter's destiny. There will always be people 228 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 1: and circumstances that try to keep you behind closed door. 229 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 1: Like Herod assigned those soldiers to hold Peter back, there 230 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 1: are forces assigned to you to try to stop your purpose. 231 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 1: The good news is the forces that are for you 232 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:16,319 Speaker 1: are greater than the forces that are against you. And 233 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 1: you may have these times where you're behind closed doors, 234 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:24,160 Speaker 1: you feel like you're outnumbered, the odds are against you. 235 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,439 Speaker 3: You have to remind yourself who your doorkeeper is. 236 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,680 Speaker 1: You have to keep this scripture in your spirit that 237 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 1: God will open doors that no person can shut. The 238 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,200 Speaker 1: enemy may have put you behind a door of sickness, 239 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 1: a door of trouble, a door of addiction. 240 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:41,360 Speaker 3: You feel chained. 241 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,960 Speaker 1: There's no way out, nor your time is coming. God 242 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 1: wouldn't have let that door close if he didn't have 243 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 1: a way to open it. We have a gate on 244 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 1: our driveway at home. Sometimes when a friend is coming 245 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 1: over or repairman, I'll watch for them out the back door. 246 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 3: I can see when a car pulls up. 247 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,720 Speaker 1: They'll come to the gate and stop when they're about 248 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:05,840 Speaker 1: to get out and try to figure out how to 249 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 1: get in. I'll hit the remote control from the house 250 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 1: the gate opens, they drive in. Invariably, they'll say, I 251 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 1: didn't know how I was going to get in, then 252 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 1: the gate just opened up, and I tell them, yes, 253 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:17,720 Speaker 1: I was watching for you. 254 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 3: I have the remote control. 255 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 1: In life, you'll come to these times where you're at 256 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,680 Speaker 1: a gate, a closed door. You don't have the code. 257 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 1: You don't know how you can get through it. It's 258 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 1: too big, it's an iron gate. 259 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 3: Don't worry. 260 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 1: God has the remote. There's not a gate you're behind that. 261 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 1: God doesn't have the control. It works all the way 262 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 1: from heaven. All he has to do is push the button, 263 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:47,160 Speaker 1: give the command, and angels go to work. Mighty warriors, 264 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:50,160 Speaker 1: these powerful forces carry out God's command. 265 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 3: When you come to a closed door, an iron gate. 266 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 1: Like I was watching for my company, knowing that they 267 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 1: weren't going to be able to get in on their own. 268 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,160 Speaker 3: How much more is God watching for you? 269 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 1: How much more is he aware of what you need, 270 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 1: where you are, what you're up against. He knows when 271 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 1: you're at a big gate, an iron door, you don't 272 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 1: have the code. The sickness is staring at you, the 273 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 1: financial problem, the child, this off course, you're locked out. 274 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 3: No way you can get past that gate. Stay in peace. 275 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 1: God sees you, and he has the remote. When it's 276 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 1: the right time, that gate will open. Chains will be broken, 277 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 1: bars of iron will be cut in two. 278 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 3: When God wants it to open. 279 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 1: Nothing can stop him from opening it. Peter was in prison, 280 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 1: chain between two guards. The next day he was going 281 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,680 Speaker 1: to be brought to trial. He knew there was a 282 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,840 Speaker 1: good chance this was the last night of his life. 283 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 3: What was he doing worrying. 284 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 1: Complaining, pacing the floor, knowing his most difficult challenge. 285 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 3: He will sound asleep. 286 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 1: He understood this principle that even though there was an 287 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 1: iron gate in front of him, no way he could 288 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 1: get out on his own. 289 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:12,680 Speaker 3: He knew that God was his doorkeeper, that God had 290 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:13,800 Speaker 3: the remote control. 291 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 1: So when he could have been panicked frustrated, he was 292 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:22,840 Speaker 1: at rest. I've learned when you rest, God goes to work. 293 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,560 Speaker 1: But when you work, when you're worried stressed, what am 294 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 1: I going to do? 295 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,840 Speaker 3: God? Rest, come back to a place of peace. 296 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 1: God has the remote control to any door that you're facing. 297 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 3: The enemy may have closed it. 298 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 1: There's an iron gate, but God is the doorkeeper. Herod 299 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:46,200 Speaker 1: did his best to keep Peter from getting out. What 300 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 1: he didn't realize is he couldn't keep God from coming. 301 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:53,280 Speaker 1: In the scripture says God is a very present help 302 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:57,840 Speaker 1: in trouble. God comes with you in the prison, in 303 00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 1: the hospital, in the Betrayal, while Peter was sleeping in 304 00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:05,399 Speaker 1: the middle of the night, an angel showed up walked 305 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 1: over to Peter to wake him up. Notice how God 306 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:12,639 Speaker 1: comes to the dark places. He comes when you're hurting, 307 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,639 Speaker 1: when you're lonely, when life is not fair. You couldn't 308 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 1: get to him, but God comes to you. He's with 309 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:23,440 Speaker 1: you right now. He has something in his hand. It's 310 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,760 Speaker 1: the remote control. He knows how to bring you out. 311 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:31,840 Speaker 1: The moment Peter woke up, the chains fell off his wrist. 312 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,919 Speaker 1: The angel didn't have a key, he didn't have some 313 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:39,720 Speaker 1: big wirecutters. Supernaturally, the chains fell off. The angel told 314 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:43,919 Speaker 1: Peter to get dressed and follow him. It's significant that 315 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 1: none of the other guards woke up. 316 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 3: God is strategic. He knows how to hide you. He 317 00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:51,160 Speaker 3: knows how to make you. 318 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:55,200 Speaker 1: Invisible to the enemy. The angel and Peter walked out 319 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,080 Speaker 1: of the dungeon. They passed the first set of guards. 320 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,400 Speaker 3: The guards didn't see them. That's the second set of guards. 321 00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 3: Same thing. 322 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,880 Speaker 1: Everything was great up to this point, but now they 323 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:07,200 Speaker 1: came to the iron gate. 324 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,639 Speaker 3: This was the big one. It secured the whole facility. 325 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,280 Speaker 1: Can imagine Peter thinking, oh man, what are we gonna do. 326 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:16,240 Speaker 3: Now we made it through. 327 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 1: The small doors, this one looks impossible. The angel said, Peter, 328 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:25,120 Speaker 1: just keep on walking. They're walking toward a gate that's 329 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:28,959 Speaker 1: not opening, moving toward a gate that's made out of iron. 330 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:34,040 Speaker 1: Every thought was telling Peter, you're stock, nothing's happening, there's 331 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 1: no way to get out. 332 00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:36,880 Speaker 3: But they just kept on walking. 333 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,679 Speaker 1: When they got to the gate, the scripture says, the 334 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:45,120 Speaker 1: gate opened of its own accord. What happened, God hit 335 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:49,199 Speaker 1: the remote control. Herod thought he controlled the gate. He 336 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:54,480 Speaker 1: didn't realize God was Peter's doorkeeper. There may be gates 337 00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,440 Speaker 1: that are controlled by other people, but when it affects 338 00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:02,640 Speaker 1: your destiny, God becomes the doorkeeper. Herod's men had control 339 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,360 Speaker 1: of that gate to a point, but when it affected 340 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:09,680 Speaker 1: Peter in his purpose, God said, I'll take the remote 341 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:13,240 Speaker 1: When you realize that God is your doorkeeper, that even 342 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:17,960 Speaker 1: iron gates, doors that look impossible, situations where you don't 343 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,920 Speaker 1: see a way out, that God has the remote control, 344 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:22,639 Speaker 1: then you can live in peace. 345 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:24,880 Speaker 3: You can stay in faith. 346 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 1: Knowing that God will get you to where you're supposed 347 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:31,080 Speaker 1: to be. Part of the test is when the gate 348 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:32,280 Speaker 1: is not moving. 349 00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:34,159 Speaker 3: Peter kept walking. 350 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 1: Didn't open up until he got to it. You have 351 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:41,399 Speaker 1: to keep walking by faith. The medical report is not improving, 352 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 1: your child's not doing better, your dream is not any closer. 353 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:49,600 Speaker 1: That iron gate is staring at you, thoughts whispering, you. 354 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 3: Might as well go back. 355 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 1: He made it through a couple closed doors, but this 356 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 1: big one is not going to open. You see the 357 00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 1: iron you see the medical report, you know what your 358 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:01,200 Speaker 1: finances are. 359 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,480 Speaker 3: No, keep walking by faith and not by sight. 360 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,479 Speaker 1: When it's the right time, it's going to open up 361 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 1: its own accord. 362 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 3: You didn't have to. 363 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:14,280 Speaker 1: Force it, manipulate, strive. It will be the hand of God. 364 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 1: That's what happened with us with the Compact Center. After 365 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:23,080 Speaker 1: working almost three years, one of our main votes backed out. 366 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:27,080 Speaker 1: Now we were one vote shine. The final vote was 367 00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:30,720 Speaker 1: in two days. Didn't look like it would happen. Like Peter, 368 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 1: this was an iron gate. We were tempted to think, wow, 369 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 1: too late, Now this gate's not going to open. Instead, 370 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:41,119 Speaker 1: we just kept on walking. God, we only have twenty 371 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:44,920 Speaker 1: four hours left. We don't see away. It looks impossible, 372 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:48,240 Speaker 1: but we know you're the doorkeeper. You're the one that 373 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:52,879 Speaker 1: opens and closes doors. At the last minute, a lady 374 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:56,160 Speaker 1: I had never met, called a council member that had 375 00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:59,639 Speaker 1: been against us the whole time. He suddenly changed his mind. 376 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,840 Speaker 1: We got the facility. The gate opened of its own accord. 377 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:08,119 Speaker 3: I didn't make it happen. Was it my skills, my talent. 378 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:11,359 Speaker 1: It was the hand of God moving on a lady 379 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 1: that I didn't know to call a council member on 380 00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 1: our behalf. She was able to do in five minutes 381 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,600 Speaker 1: what I couldn't do in three years. You may not 382 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:26,920 Speaker 1: see any sign of that iron gate opening. It looks immovable. 383 00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 1: The sickness, the addiction. How can you accomplish your dream? 384 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:36,000 Speaker 1: Just keep on walking by faith, keep thanking God, keep 385 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:39,160 Speaker 1: declaring his promises, keep speaking victory. 386 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:43,000 Speaker 3: God is about to step in as your doorkeeper. It's 387 00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 3: going to be unusual, of its own accord. It's going 388 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 3: to open. 389 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,119 Speaker 1: It's not going to happen the way you think, with 390 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:52,919 Speaker 1: the people, you think, how the experts thinks. 391 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,359 Speaker 3: You're not going to be able to explain it. You 392 00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:57,280 Speaker 3: will know it is the hand of God. 393 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,359 Speaker 1: What's interesting is, the whole time that Peter was falling 394 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 1: the angel, he thought he was dreaming. He thought he 395 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 1: was seeing himself leaving the dungeon, going past the guards, 396 00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:12,119 Speaker 1: the iron gate opening. He didn't realize it was real 397 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:15,159 Speaker 1: until he got out on the street, walking as a 398 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:15,680 Speaker 1: free man. 399 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 3: Then the angel suddenly disappeared. 400 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 1: Sometimes while God is working, you don't realize all that's 401 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:27,119 Speaker 1: happening while you're in it. He's doing things right now 402 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,919 Speaker 1: that are leading you to open doors. Only after you 403 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,879 Speaker 1: get past it, you'll look back and think, while God, 404 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,879 Speaker 1: you were with me the whole time you were ordering 405 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 1: my steps, you brought that person across my path for 406 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:43,600 Speaker 1: a reason, you made me invisible to those people that 407 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:47,879 Speaker 1: weren't for me. How many times have angels worked on 408 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 1: our behalf but we couldn't see it. Even now, God 409 00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:55,920 Speaker 1: is working behind the scenes. There are doors he's about 410 00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:59,680 Speaker 1: to open for you, doors of healing, doors to freedom, 411 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 1: doors to abundance. 412 00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:04,879 Speaker 3: Looks like an iron gate, but if its own accord, 413 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:05,960 Speaker 3: it's going to open. 414 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,800 Speaker 1: When Peter realized what had happened, that it was real, 415 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,479 Speaker 1: he walked to Mary's house, where everyone had gathered to 416 00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:15,760 Speaker 1: pray for him. It was in the middle of the night. 417 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 1: He knocked on the door. Young lady answered. She was 418 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:23,120 Speaker 1: so surprised to see Peter. She shut the door, ran 419 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:26,440 Speaker 1: back and told everyone that Peter was there. I'm sure 420 00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:30,200 Speaker 1: Peter thought, oh God, not another closed door. Verse sixteen 421 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:34,720 Speaker 1: says Peter continued knocking. When they finally opened the door, 422 00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:38,840 Speaker 1: they were all amazed at what God had done. There 423 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 1: are doors God will open for you that are going 424 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 1: to amaze you. 425 00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:43,960 Speaker 4: Now. 426 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,240 Speaker 1: Don't be discouraged because they've been closed a long time. 427 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 1: That was all a part of the process. God has 428 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:54,720 Speaker 1: not forgotten about you. The Angel is about to show up. 429 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,119 Speaker 1: Iron gates are about to open. 430 00:23:57,640 --> 00:23:59,359 Speaker 3: It's not going to be what you were thinking. 431 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 1: It's going to be bigger, better, more fulfilling. A friend 432 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,960 Speaker 1: of mine worked as a television news reporter and she 433 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 1: had a real bad problem with roseatia. Her skin would 434 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:13,119 Speaker 1: get so red and she couldn't find any makeup that 435 00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:16,359 Speaker 1: would keep it covered. If she accidentally touched her face, 436 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,560 Speaker 1: it would rub off and not look good. She decided 437 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,520 Speaker 1: to quit her job and try to develop makeup that 438 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 1: would fix her problem. 439 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:26,639 Speaker 3: She came up with a product that she really loved. 440 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:30,080 Speaker 1: She and her husband tried to get funding, but bank 441 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:33,919 Speaker 1: after bank turned them down, told them how the cosmetic 442 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:37,800 Speaker 1: field was too competitive, controlled by a few global companies, 443 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,720 Speaker 1: that there was no way they could break in. Was 444 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,560 Speaker 1: like an iron gate. She didn't see how it could 445 00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:48,160 Speaker 1: ever open, but she did understand that God is our doorkeeper, 446 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,240 Speaker 1: that he can open doors that no person can shut. 447 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:55,080 Speaker 1: Her dream was to get on QBC, one of the 448 00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:58,320 Speaker 1: home shopping networks. She knew if people could see her 449 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:02,159 Speaker 1: product that they would want it. She contacted QVC, but 450 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:05,679 Speaker 1: she has turned down again and again, so many people 451 00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 1: trying to get on. She was down to her last 452 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,360 Speaker 1: thousand dollars. Didn't know what she was going to do. 453 00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 1: She went to a big cosmetic convention. She had a 454 00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:19,280 Speaker 1: three feet wide booth where she was showing people her product. 455 00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:24,040 Speaker 1: Crossed the way. QVC had a huge display. So older 456 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,879 Speaker 1: lady came by and said, honey, I love your product. 457 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:29,280 Speaker 1: I'm one of the buyers for QBC. 458 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:30,199 Speaker 3: I'm going to. 459 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:33,199 Speaker 1: Tell my staff we need to have you on. She 460 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:37,000 Speaker 1: used her influence to open the door. This young lady 461 00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:40,800 Speaker 1: went on QVC. Her product took off, broke all kinds 462 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:45,119 Speaker 1: of records. My friend Jamie Kern, the founder of IT Cosmetics, 463 00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:49,080 Speaker 1: became a huge success. She was on QVC two hundred 464 00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:52,520 Speaker 1: times a year. Her company is one of the largest 465 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:57,320 Speaker 1: cosmetic companies in the world. Years later, Jamie asked the 466 00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,680 Speaker 1: lady why she put in a good word for her. 467 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,360 Speaker 1: The lady said, Jamie, I liked your product, but it 468 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:06,720 Speaker 1: wasn't about the cosmetics. When I saw you that day, 469 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:11,120 Speaker 1: I heard God say to me, go help that young lady. 470 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:13,200 Speaker 3: Sometimes God will. 471 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:17,480 Speaker 1: Use people to open up these iron gates. He has 472 00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:20,960 Speaker 1: the right people already lined up for you. 473 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 3: You may not even know them. Now, they will come 474 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:23,720 Speaker 3: to you. 475 00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:27,880 Speaker 1: They'll use their influence to push you forward. You don't 476 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,639 Speaker 1: have to make it happen. You just keep honoring God, 477 00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:34,400 Speaker 1: keep in first place, and the doorkeeper. 478 00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 3: Will open doors that no person can shut. 479 00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:41,600 Speaker 1: Like Jamie, you may have worked hard, prayed, believed, done 480 00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:44,800 Speaker 1: all you can, but nothing has worked out. Get ready, 481 00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:48,439 Speaker 1: I believe and declare doors are about to open for 482 00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:54,960 Speaker 1: you in your business, your health, relationships, your finances. Like Peter, 483 00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:58,960 Speaker 1: these iron gates doors that look permanent of their own 484 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:02,560 Speaker 1: accord and to suddenly open in Jesus' name. 485 00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:04,840 Speaker 3: And if you receive it. Can you say amen? 486 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,240 Speaker 1: I'd like to give you an opportunity to make Jesus 487 00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:10,399 Speaker 1: the Lord of your life. 488 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:11,840 Speaker 3: Would you pray with me? 489 00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:17,840 Speaker 1: Just say, Lord, Jesus, I'll repent of my sins. Come 490 00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:21,480 Speaker 1: into my heart. I'll make you my Lord and savior. 491 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,040 Speaker 1: If you prayed that simple prayer, we believe you got 492 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:27,920 Speaker 1: born again. We'd love to send you some free information 493 00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:29,800 Speaker 1: on your new walk with the Lord. You can text 494 00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,000 Speaker 1: the number on the screen or go to the website. 495 00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:35,200 Speaker 1: I hope you'll get into a good Bible based church 496 00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:37,080 Speaker 1: and keep God first place. 497 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,560 Speaker 4: Do you have a dream that's waiting to happen, but 498 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,560 Speaker 4: it often feels like you'll never get there?
