Doors represent seasons, dimensions, and opportunities of good and bad.

All types of doors,

· Swing doors
· Push doors
· Revolving doors
· Automatic doors

There are 3 types of Doors in the Scripture

- Metaphorical Doors
- Physical Doors
- Spiritual Doors

Metaphorical Doors = Your Heart

Physical Doors = Noah’s Ark

Spiritual Doors = Portals into the spirt realm. Jesus is a spiritual door

Overcome = to conquer, victorious, prevail, subdue.

Overcome = Over & Come = Over / Above & Combine

Those who Combine with Jesus and Overcome / Go above the world will sit on the throne


You can only overcome this world aka system aka satanic system by combining with the LORD.

There have been pastoral scandals and ministry moral failures almost every week.

Heart breaking falls of elders in the church no life alert

Let's this be an alert to our life.

Let us not Judge or look down on but let pray and ask the Lord to expose and reveal our secret sins so we don’t fall….

"Small doors lead to big doors"

It’s not the major sins but it’s the minor sin, a look here, a video there, a small convo here, white lie there…

Church let's not be so naïve to think this doesn’t taint and stain the glass windows to our soul, darkening our vision so we are blurred to truth

We must address the little leaven the little bits of yeast affect the bread…

What does this have to do with Doors??

Because it’s the small unaddressed issues that open doors to death and destruction.

It’s the small lies we believe that open the enemy or are flesh to destruction in our lives.

They start with the mind…. We start to Rationalize items..

Rationalize = Rational Lies

It’s not that bad, Did God really say sex is wrong? He doesn’t really expect me to save myself in this culture I'm 40 years old.

Does it really say I shouldn’t smoke… it’s the small lies the seeds land on our mind and produce unrighteous fruit

Doors led to moredoors

The door of drugs leads to stronger DRUGS

The door of Porn leads to Sex ……

The door of Sex leads to Adultery……

The door of Stealing, lying, cursing leads to more …… Doors led to more doors.

Sin is a revolving Door.

Spiritual doors are portals that open up natural doors.

These doors often start in the heart

We must guard our hearts from thoughts…

Information > Thoughts -> Ideas- > Actions > Habits > Lifestyle > Destination or Destiny.

If you want to change your destination you must change your information

This is why Jesus is the Word, and the Word will inform you of you.

RULE OVER SIN

And the desire for both of them is for you!!!

But God told CAIN you should RULE over it

Revelation 6:20 = OVERCOME

Gen 4:7 = RULEOVER

Cain didn’t have the Holy Spirit we do.

We can overcome sin through Jesus coming into the door of our life.

He gives us Grace to overcome and rule over sin by transforming us….

Grace without transformation is a perversion

We don’t have to sin… We all have sinned but don’t have to say in sin

Jesus Says I AM the DOOR
