This is “The Lord is My Doorkeeper.” Doors in the Bible are very important. Open doors give you access to something. Shut doors means you don’t have access. Are you trusting God to open and close opportunities in your life? When He shuts a door, the enemy can’t force you through. And when He opens a door, no man can close it! The Lord is your doorkeeper.

helping us with the ongoing ministries
that we never stop and have not stopped
for years now and it’s because of your
generous support you know we decided to
begin to feed the hungry we decided to
take the resources anything we have over
we like to take and sew it into mission
projects so we’ve never stopped feeding
270 plus thousand meals a month and
Haiti it just goes on we don’t say a lot
about it we don’t stop the sex
trafficking ministry that we support on
a monthly basis with a $10,000 check

stop the outreach of new beginnings

supplied the need to people like you

have your Bibles open them with me to
the book of Revelation only go to the
book of Revelation chapter three verse
seven and eight to the angel in the
Church of Philadelphia write these
things says he who is holy he who is
true he who has the key of David he who
opens and no one shuts and shuts and no
one opens I know your works see I have
set before you an open door and no one
can shut it for you have little strength
and have kept my word and have not
denied my name the Lord is our
doorkeeper thing about transition when
you’re in transition is we find
ourselves in that awkward place we’re
wanting God to open doors and shut doors
in episodes of our life there’s
something about being in transition
that’s important when it comes to two
doors being open and closed when you’re
in between one place and you’re trying
to get to another place there’s this
thing that we call a door how you get
from one place to another place is a
door a room has a way to access it and
you know that’s through the door you
can’t get from where you are to where
you want to be unless you go through a
door a door separates one room from
another which means something is
significant because it means that your
movement doesn’t have to be far for you
to make the transition sometimes we
think that when we’re we’ve got to make
a transition that it’s got to be a long
journey but the truth is God can set a
door in your life and you can transition
out of one place walk through the door
into another place and it doesn’t have
to take a lot of movement to make it
happen because if you’re standing at the
door
and you’re in this room all you have to
do is step through the door and you’re
in the other end your movement was only
one step and you’re in a whole nother
room sometimes we think it takes big
movement to make a transition you can be
in a room of brokenness one minute and
just one step away from brokenness to
wholeness and all it takes is a door you
can be in a place of sorrow and grief
and one moment and God can make the
transition where you walk through the
door to a place of joy and peace and
contentment all it takes is one step and
you access it and everything in that
room changes doors in the Bible are very
important open doors give you access to
something shut doors means you don’t
have access so there are positive and
there negatives to adorn a door means
you’re shut if it’s shut then you don’t
have access if it’s open then you have
access the Lord is my doorkeeper he
opens doors and he shuts doors and if I
trust him he’s going to let me have the
access or deny the access to stop me
from missing his plan and his purpose a
shut door means several things number
one it means protection when you go home
after this service you don’t leave your
door wide open you shut the door because
you don’t want just anybody coming in
while you’re trying to sleep tonight a
shut door means protection sometimes God
shuts the door to protect you you know
the children of Israel when they came
out of Egyptian bondage and they cross
the Red Sea and God said to Moses turn
around and look and suddenly Pharaoh and
his army had entered into the Red Sea
that was parted and standing up on both
sides and the Bible said the water caved
in
and and they vanished it was symbolic of
God closing the door saying to Moses
these enemies you will see no more in
other words what he was saying is I
opened doors when I when I parted that
ocean I opened it and no man can shut it
sometimes we shut a door for privacy
sometimes people come over to your house
unexpectedly and you say to the kids run
through the house pick up everything
take it to the back bedroom throw it in
there I don’t care get it all in there
get everything clean every bathroom get
everything every piece of laundry every
tile everything in your room
bring it to the back bedroom throw it in
there and then guess what you do don’t
lie you shut the door why because not
everybody needs to have access to
private matters in that house you stay
in that area and look around but the
shut door means that’s private what I’m
saying to you is you don’t need to see
the mess I only want you to see the
clean part and God knows how to shut the
door and deal with the mess in our life
and not let everybody see it so he
closed his doors for protection and for
privacy he opens doors to give you
access to something or someone almost
all sin can be traced to an open door
that that that you open to someone or
something that moved into your life
because you opened the door in life
there are doorkeepers and it’s
frustrating because door keepers can let
you in or they can keep you out door
keepers can shut you out and politics or
whatever you want to call it in the
office or whatever it is they can they
can limit you they can stop you from
having access someone who controls the
access says no to you and they can shut
you out and you feel like you don’t
belong
people may try to block your progress
people may try to stop you but he opens
the door no man can shut the Lord is my
doorkeeper and he opens doors no man can
shut nobody can keep me from having
access even if you don’t like me if I’m
supposed to be there and God told me I’m
going to be there
I’ll get there in spite of you because
the Lord is my doorkeeper turn to
somebody and say the Lord is my
doorkeeper
any door the Lord opens no man can shut
and any door the Lord shuts no man can
reopen that door man is not in charge of
my door the devil is not in charge of my
door the Lord is my doorkeeper there are
some doors that need to open for you
some places you’re supposed to be some
things you’re supposed to do you need
access to do these things and I’m here
tonight proclaiming over your life that
the Lord is your doorkeeper behold I set
before you an open door and no man can
shut it not only is he our doorkeeper
that means something else it doesn’t
just mean he opens doors and he shuts
doors but it also means according to the
book of Exodus that when they were
commanded to take blood and put it on
the door of their house and when the
destroyer came he said when I see the
blood I’ll pass over your door the
destroyer may be assigned to your home
to destroy it somebody may be fearful of
what the destroyer would love to do to
your little family
but I’m here proclaiming over your
family and over your life don’t you let
fear torment you don’t you let the enemy
pay you something happened and it’s
going to come back and haunt you again
the Lord is your doorkeeper and he’s
watching your house and he says I watch
and if there’s blood on that door
when the destroyer wants to come to that
house I’m speaking a word to somebody
today who’s been a little tormented with
fear and the Lord says to you I will not
allow destruction access to your family
again if you’ll believe me come on and
give God praise for that oh really
I will not say it he will not allow the
enemy access the destroyer access to my
family I will stand over the door cause
the Lord is your doorkeeper he says I’ll
stand over the door and I’ll watch over
the door of your household if the enemy
wants to access put blood on the
doorpost and the Lord would be your
doorkeeper standing over the door and
when the devil knocks he’ll say don’t
answer this one I’ll take care of that
now this is really important maybe you
never thought about this but Isaiah
chapter 6 gives a great insight into
doors isaiah 6 is when the you know
Uzziah died I saw the Lord High and
lifted up and his train filled the
temple and the glory of God came into
the temple and then it makes this
strange statement it said in the
doorpost moved at the sound of his voice
the doorpost moved since the Lord is our
doorkeeper sometimes he moves the door
and when he speaks the door moves there
are some people God does not want to
have access to you and yours anymore and
he can come with a word and speak a word
and when at the sound of his voice the
door post moved it was here they did
have access but God moved the door and
now they don’t have access every open
door to someone matters so ever so often
God has to speak afresh revelatory word
to your soul and to your spirit and when
he does God speaks the word in the door
moves and the next time they
back they can’t get to you anymore and
I’m not talking about necessarily the
physical house I’m talking about those
emotional psychological soul ties that
people can have to you that they just
knew how to get to you just all they got
to do is show up and say something and
they go all the way down in you and get
on your last nerve or or touch that
emotional thing and suddenly all that
old stuff all that old hurt all that old
pain it starts coming up and they just
know how to do it but you get a word
from God they come back they can’t get
to you anymore because God has moved the
door some of you got online and you open
the door you should have never opened
some of you had a conversation at work
with somebody that you should have never
opened the door to that conversation
should have never got their phone number
should have never got the email should a
never and you’ve tried and tried to
shake yourself loose and you can’t shake
yourself loose but the Lord told me to
tell you it’s time for you to see the
door move and the Lord is your door
keeper and he’s going to move the door
and they’re not going to be able to get
to you like they used to get to I’ve
discovered every time God gives a
significant word my door moves and if
some people have access to you they will
cause you to abort what God wants you to
give birth to they’ll rob you of your
faith you ever met those people
I mean you feeling you knew God told you
to do something you knew you had faith
Lord you were fired up about it and here
they come and they walk through and they
start talking and by the time they
finished you just feel like I was crazy
I didn’t hear from God it ain’t no way I
can do that they’re right they rob you
of your faith they shift you in your
thinking in the wrong direction
especially when you’re in transition
when moving from one thing to another
thing the Lord must be your doorkeeper
not people not what your aunt said not
what your crazy friend who’s been
married four times and they’re telling
you how to live the married life the
people you surround yourself with and
transition is critical you need people
who call you to your highest place
people around you who modify your
behavior you got any friends that would
that will modify your behavior or do you
get around people that are just as crazy
and off as you are and all y’all do is
just stir each other up for trouble and
mischief you need people who don’t take
you down the wrong road
they help modify your behavior and take
you to the right place may the door move
to those people tonight may your door
move in Jesus name at the sound of his
voice guard your heart with all
diligence the Lord is your doorkeeper
you better guard your heart with all
diligence because there are people who
know how to stir you up how to take you
into your past take you into the worst
place for you emotionally and
psychologically God can speak to that
door and say move and they’ll know what
it is but suddenly your eyes get open
and their opinion don’t matter to you
anymore and then he starts bringing
other people who have access to you
rather than the same people having the
wrong access to you new people are
coming into your life and into your
loved ones life
everybody shout new people
new people are coming into my life and
into my family’s life and the door for
the wrong people
is about to move because the Lord is my
doorkeeper not man not Devils the Lord
is my doorkeeper and there’s blood on my
door you’ve got a big shout if you
believe here’s a big one God can shut
the door to poverty and open the door to
prosperity I like that I said God can
shut the door to poverty and open a new
door to prosperity and this year don’t
have to be like every other year why
don’t you just say Lord I believe you’re
opening brand-new doors brand new people
brand new resources into my life let’s
take a praise break and thank him this
is the word of the Lord and doors are
moving even while I’m preaching
[Applause]
the door to join the angel rolled the
stone away and he said on in other words
you saying this doors staying open try
me
he seemed up there sitting up but
sitting on the stone of mighty angel and
he said I’m just going to hang out here
because I want the devil to know God’s
opening this door and this door is not
going to close again the Lord is my
doorkeeper shouted the Lord is my
doorkeeper shut that door on that season
Lord everybody needs a door to open and
a door to move and a door to close the
door to close on the person who brings
out the worst in you people people who
have access inappropriately bring the
worst out of you the Lord is the
doorkeeper watching over my door that
thrills me some people are hard to get
rid of people who know how to mess up
your world are very faithful but God’s
about to shift your door
hallelujah cause your gift to rise up
cause your faith to rise up shut doors

man can shut safe to the destroyer of

would love to see God closed all right

Lord to open you know you need some open

faith how many of you have issues with
your family that you would love for the
Lord as you apply the blood to become
the doorkeeper and say to the destroyer
not in this house
maybe it’s a fear thing maybe it’s a
sickness or disease that maybe the
Lord’s healed somebody of cancer or
something and the enemy says it’s coming
back it’s coming back not if the Lord’s
your doorkeeper
that’s a word and the door just moved
throw your hands up open your mouth and
begin to praise God for just a moment
open your mouth and thank him open your
mouth and praising open your mouth and
declare your words are multipliers when
you say it it begins to multiply so say
the Lord is my doorkeeper a boldly
declare that a new door is opening
before me
that no man can shut and old doors are
closing
and no man can open them I’ve only
declare what the pastor preached I
received by faith that in the name of
Jesus at the word of the Lord the door
has moved and what used to have access
does not have access anymore
the Lord is my doorkeeper and the
destroyer will not have this marriage
this home this family these children
this business deep resources I see a
door and I’m moving from brokenness
tonus from poverty to blessing from
sickness to health in Jesus mighty name
now if your boys can give them a child a
break
[Music]
so I want to close with this Hebrews 10
and verse 35 therefore do not cast away
your confidence which has a great reward
something’s coming and it’s not going to
be normal it’s going to have a great
reward if you’ll maintain your
confidence do not cast away your
confidence which has great reward for
you have need of patience or endurance
so that after you have done the will of
God you may receive the promise for yet
a little while and he who is coming will
come and not tarry and the just shall
live by faith but if anyone draws back
my soul has no pleasure in him I love
verse 39 we are not of those who draw
back we don’t quit we don’t give up
we’re strong and we’re mighty we’re not
weak when I beat up we’re not victims
we’re not defeated we’re strong and
we’re mighty open up your doors be
lifted up you everlasting gate and the
key to glory will
who is the king of thorns the Lord prong
