A Door For The Word
Contributed by Rev. Dr. Indrani Baboolal on Sep 7, 2022 (message contributor)
Summary: Doors are security measures that are placed in our homes to secure our lives from evil doers. Jesus said that He is the door and anyone that comes to the Father must go through Him. There are doors in the spirit realm that we must understand as we pursue the Kingdom of God.
SCRIPTURE: Colossians 4:1-6 Masters, give unto your servants that which is
just and equal; knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven.
2 Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;
3Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance,
to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds:
4 That I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.
5Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time.
6Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know
how ye ought to answer every man.
INTRODUCTION:
The Apostle Paul in his walk with the Lord saw the prophetic meaning and
declaration of the grace of an open door. He continually spoke of the word
“Door” prophetically. In Ephesus he said a great and effectual door has open
up due to the fact that the word was preached and those with great influence
was save. In Antioch Act 14:27 he spoke of the work that he accomplished
through the opening of the door to save the Gentile nation through their faith
in the word spoken of Christ.
In 2 Corinthians 2:12 he made mentioned that his heart was heavy even though a door opened
for him to preach the gospel because he did not find his brother Titus there, so he took leave to go to
Macedonia. However, the door continued to be effective in the preaching of the word and the saving of the souls and raising up of the apostolic leadership of the church.
Today I indulge in the prophetic grace of a door to the word of God. The glory of the open door, the purpose of the open door and how we can be effective through the open door. How to recognize the open door in the realm of the spirit and take the risk of entering into the open doors.
1. THE GLORY OF THE DOOR
John 10:9-11 King James Version
9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he
shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
-First and foremost the Father/Master give us Jesus the Door. God the Father’s
master plan is Christ the door to access grace, access His blood, access the Holy
Ghost and all the Kingdom of God has.
-Jesus Christ is the “Door”. He is the only access to the kingdom of God.
-He is the glory and the lifter of our head to recognize the opening.
-His name has power inside the door.
-He is the savior that grabs hold off the heart through the door.
-He is the mission upon entering through the door, to gather the people.
-He is the word given in the mouth to preach Him alive, crucified, buried and
resurrected in the door.
-He is the strength to the Ministers of the word that declare Him before men.
2. THE PURPOSE AND EFFECTIVENESS OF THE OPEN DOOR
Colossian 4:3-4 -Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a
door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in
bonds: 4 That I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.
-Utterance or (Rhema Greek word) meaning the spoken word, it is the
action of utterance about Christ Jesus.
There are many doors to many nations of the world. We the body of Christ
has a divine purpose to seek out these doors and enter with the Rhema
word.
-Rhema is given to the Apostolic to break down the barriers and defenses of
the enemy that tries to manipulate, skew, seduce and pervert the word of God like in the Garden of Eden.
-The word was given to the Enemy that the Seed/Door Christ Jesus/word
will crush the head of the enemy.
-The Mystery of the Seed is the manifestation of the word that converts the
heart, delivers the demon possessed, that cause Legions to flee, demons to
bow down, that cause sorcerers to be recognized, to heal the sick, to cause
the lame to walk, the blind to see and to raise the dead.
-Leaders in the Fivefold gifts must be given to much prayer and fasting as
Christ Jesus as He is our example of the life of Holiness and righteousness so
that the effectiveness of the Word/Door will yield great harvest for the Kingdom of God.
3. THE DOOR IN THE SPIRIT AND THE RISK TO ENTER
Colossians 4:5-6 KJV
5 Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time.
6 Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know
how ye ought to answer every man.
-The word “Door” in the Greek word means “Porta” or Portal, Gate Opening or
