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.

eventless he was the same day – I just

wanted to take a moment and say thank

you from the bottom of my heart for

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

every month at the dream Center we don’t

stop the outreach of new beginnings

women’s ministry and as God blesses us

we are able to say yes or sometimes we

have to say no because we don’t have the

resources but I’m thankful that God has

supplied the need to people like you

[Music]

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

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
