THE DOOR TO THE KINGDOM

John 10:9, Psalm 51:17

Every country, city, village, town, or building has an entrance point, a gate, a door.
The airports of a city or nation are the 'doors' or entrance points to that city.
Your passport and visa can be likened to the key that opens the door for you to enter that nation or city.

It is the same thing with spiritual things.
The Kingdom of God has an entrance point.
The Kingdom of God also has a key to open the door for you to enter it.
Every door has a key, a code, a forb, or a proximity card to open it.

Jesus is the door to God's Kingdom.
You can't get into God's Kingdom outside of Jesus.
Colossians 1:13
The door to God's Kingdom also has a key or access code to it.
The access code or key to God's Kingdom is repentance. Matthew 3:2
This is why John the Baptist came with a message of repentance.

Jesus is the door, repentance is the key to the door. Matthew 4:17
There is no other door to God's Kingdom outside of Jesus Christ.
Anyone or anything introducing you to God or some form of spirituality outside of Jesus is fake.
John 10:1
Jesus makes your access to God and His Kingdom legal.

Many people want to access God's blessings, God's power, God's grace, God's love and favor without repentance.
All the good things in God is in the Kingdom of God, but we need to enter the Kingdom through the door and with the right key.
Jesus unlocks the door to God's Kingdom when we come with the right key because it is God's will for us to access the Kingdom.
Luke 12:32

We must all access God's Kingdom now.
Faith is now. Now is faith. Hebrews 11:1
The joy we seek, the peace we seek, the dignity we seek, the progress we want, our spiritual inheritance is all in the Kingdom of God. Psalm 23:2

When we come to a door with the wrong key, no matter how hard we try to open the door, the door won't open.
Many people are not making the progress they should be making in God because their heart is not right with God.
God is about the heart. 1 Samuel 16:7
Repentance is of the heart.
The Kingdomof God is within us and the key to that Kingdom must come from within. Luke 17:21
Our heart is within us, and God knows true repentance from false repentance.

God knows if you have the right key or not.
If you don't have the right key- true repentance, God is not deceived.
The fake will always look like the original.
False repentance may look like true repentance but false repentance is not of the heart.
True repentance is genuine and comes from the heart.

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18

The Importance Of The Anointing

Acts 10:38 The anointing is the presence of the Holy Spirit with a person. The anointing speaks, the anointing directs, and the anointing teaches people what they need to know and do. 1 John 2:27 You need the anointing. You can grow in the anointing. It is also possible to depart from the anointing. The anointing won't depart from you but you can depart from the anointing. You should remain in Him. It is worth it investing time to understand the your anointing, growing in your anointing and obeying the anointing. As you get to know a person better by spending time with them, so it is with the anointing in your life. With the anointing, you can't go wrong. The anointing strategically positions you in God's kingdom and in life. Jesus was full of the Holy Spirit. Colossians 2:9 Jesus had the anointing when He was here on earth. Jesus is our example of what our life can be when we have the anointing. Hebrews 12:2 Jesus knew His purpose. Luke 2:49 Jesus

Navigating A New Year

 Isaiah  42:16 Our text passage above shows us God is the one who shows us the path to take and leads us in new directions. Your path matters to God. The way you you choose to take is important to God. Your steps are seen by God and ordered by God. Psalm 37:23 The year ahead of you matters to God too. Luke 13:8-9 Each year God has given you the grace to witness, experience, and journey through is another opportunity to be fruitful for God. God wants you to make the most of the year ahead of you to His glory. Human beings do not always know the way and path to go, we can be limited in wisdom. History shows we do not always make the best choices. The year ahead of us will require knowing the way to go, having the wisdom to make the best decisions and choices. Deuteronomy 30:19 To successfully navigate the year we need to stay in God.. To navigate is to find your way through, it is following the right path to a specific destination. Car drivers either buy a GPS/Navigation device system or
