not only was it opened, it shut again.
this time i was on the inside.
the past is past, and i will never return to that way of living.
things will never be the same.
i'm in that new place. that new realm.
something's getting ready to happen, and no one knows quite what it is yet. all i know is something will happen.
just when you think that you couldn't see anything greater, expeirience anything better, God always shows up and proves you wrong. He has something in store for us. we have to be ready and prepared.
i know what He has planned for me. to an extent anyways. it's something more than we have seen heard or done.
He wants do change the way we think, see, act, and do anything. he wants to get us all through that door to the new realm. the one where we leave that natural-flesh-law-filled life.
God wants us living a different life.
not only a different one, but an opposite one as the world's. He wants us to be so consumed in Him that we don't remember what it's like not having Him in control.
that door is the thing that either holds you back, stops you, lets you in on what He's doing, and gets you through to the more.
~matthew 16:19 message~
"and that's not all. you will have complete and free access to God's kingdom, keys to open any and every door: no more barriers between heaven and earth, earth and heaven. a yes on earth is yes in heaven. a no on earth is a no in heaven."
when through that door, we will live that complete relentless God life. there won't be a barrier between you and what God has in store for you. the only way you'll ever get it open is with prayer. pray it open don't pry it open. God is the only one who can open it.
~romans 5:1-5 message~
"by entering through faith into what God has always wanted to do for us—set us right with him, make us fit for him—we have it all together with God because of our Master Jesus. and that's not all: we throw open our doors to God and discover at the same moment that he has already thrown open his door to us. we find ourselves standing where we always hoped we might stand—out in the wide open spaces of God's grace and glory, standing tall and shouting our praise. there's more to come: we continue to shout our praise even when we're hemmed in with troubles, because we know how troubles can develop passionate patience in us, and how that patience in turn forges the tempered steel of virtue, keeping us alert for whatever God will do next. in alert expectancy such as this, we're never left feeling shortchanged. quite the contrary—we can't round up enough containers to hold everything God generously pours into our lives through the Holy Spirit!"
we enter and continue past this door through faith. nothing else. God is getting ready to do something big, but you won't be a part of it if you're standing there staring blankly at it. not only knock on it, but have God knock it down for us. once you get a glimpse of what God has in store while your standing there, you'll desperatly want past. it's your choice, though.
ask God to bust it open for you.
