Behold,I set before you an OPEN DOOR…Rev.3:8,,,I can’t help but notice out of 7 churches,only one received this promise…Gives one cause to stop,,,and ponder.Verse 7 records,”He that opens and no MAN shuts…Why are so many doors being shut? Could it be ,that we have shut up our bowels of compassion,leaving no reason for doors to be left open? Selah,,,Why is the world not knocking our doors down,to find what they need so badly? I submit,maybe the answer can be found in An Open Door pt.1 That we have strayed from THE commandment of most importance,straight from the Lords own mouth. Loving Him first and others as ourselves..Lord,help us be more like the church of Philadelphia,and less like Laodicea…A song written at the founding of the Fathers House Min. in July of 2000…The strange part was,the first building we rented had an obstinate front door,that refused to stay shut…
At The Fathers House,,,
All alone out there,,on the corner stands a woman,,,
Barely visible,,from the shadows,of the night,,,
Tho I cannot see her face,somehow I know her,,,
And the sorrow of ,the loneliness she fights,,,
In my heart I sense an urgency, to reach her,,,
And to share with her ,the sum of her true worth,,,
For the Father gave of Heavens,greatest treasure,,,
As the redemption price,to purchase her new birth….
{ And I hear Him calling,,,”Come unto Me,All you who need rest,,,
I’LL restore your souls,as you lean upon My breast”,,,}
Cause at the Fathers house the door is always open,,,
And you’ll hear Him calling,Welcome,do come in,,,
At the Fathers house His mercy,is over flowing,,,
And you’ll find power to deliver you from sin…
Further down the road,alone a man is sitting,,,
Having tried and failed again,all hope is gone,,,
And if someone does not reach out, with compassion,,,
He will never find the strength,to carry on,,,
He’s tried with all that’s in him,never knowing,,,
There is a source of strength,available to him,,,
That will far surpass all human strength and wisdom,,,
And give him power to start over once again,,, c.d.m.July 2000
Are we keeping the door open? Lord help us,reopen the heart of compassion in us..Allow Your great Agape love to over take us,,so we hear the slightest knock on the door,,Strengthen us with Your might and power,,to fulfill the great calling that is upon us,,to be “open doors” to You,,in Jesus name we pray,,amen.. sis c
