Jesus is the Door and He has the Key. He sets before us an open door. There are different types of open doors. The door of deliverance from danger and demonic oppression. The door of reparation to fix things that are broken in our life and in us. The door of Heaven for supernatural provision and God’s word. The door of Visions to see in the spirit and receive heavenly visitation. The door of opportunity to help those in need. The door of preaching and teaching God’s word. The door of Intimacy with Jesus to be closer to Him.
