The Shutting of Old Doors!

The enemy would like nothing better than to have your past continue to dictate the trajectory of your future!

Posted on

While we tend to talk a lot about how God is opening new Doors of Opportunity ahead of us, for some reason we never seem to realize that the same Father Who opens the doorways ahead of us is also closing the doors behind us.

Many people don’t realize the Powerful significance of the closing of old doorways, but it is even more important than some of the New Ones being opened ahead of us. 

The enemy tries to enter through those doors behind us and use the Doors of the past to try to set the Trajectory of our future going forward.

This morning as I was chewing upon some revelation that the Holy Spirit gave me yesterday, the Lord showed me a long corridor of doorways opening up ahead of me, (for I was seeing through someone else’s eyes), but as I turned around and looked behind me, I looked at where they had come from, and immediately realized (in the vision) that this individual had been going in circles.

The past doorways had a definite curve backward to them and then it hit me, that without having a definite destination (Personal Destiny), we can find ourselves going around the same mountain over and over again without even really realizing it just like Israel did in the wilderness!

The enemy would like nothing better than to have your past continue to dictate the Trajectory of your future! Therefore the way backward must be completely closed off forever.

“I do not consider, brethren, that I have captured and made it my own [yet]; but one thing I do [it is my one aspiration]: FORGETTING WHAT LIES BEHIND AND STRAINING FORWARD TO WHAT LIES AHEAD,” Philippians 3:13

While there are some incredibly powerful testimonials that can come out of your past, the dangers come from trying to live in that place and thus setting a pattern in your life of going in circles instead of forward like what Paul was referring to. 

The Holy Spirit is not the only One Who can open doors ahead of you, because the enemy has a plan for your life as well, and if he can get you to constantly look backward, it will alter your trajectory forwards into a place of going in circles spiritually (and even physically sometimes).

Your Destiny in Jesus Christ should dictate your way forward and not the glories of your previous experiences, for he who puts his hands to the plow and looks back isn’t worthy of the Kingdom.

“Jesus said to him, No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back [to the things behind] is fit for the kingdom of God.” Luke 9:62

God is calling each of us Forwards and Upwards, not backward and in circles. Therefore the Holy Spirit is closing those old doors behind you and SETTING A NEW COURSE FOR MANY OF YOU GOING FORWARDS! 

“And to the angel (messenger) of the assembly (church) in Philadelphia write: These are the words of the Holy One, the True One, He Who has the key of David, WHO OPENS AND NO ONE SHALL SHUT, WHO SHUTS AND NO ONE SHALL OPEN:” Revelation 3:7

IT’S TIME TO RIP THE REARVIEW MIRROR OFF OF YOUR LIFE AND SET YOUR FACE LIKE A FLINT FORWARD, FOR TODAY IS THE FIRST DAY OF THE REST OF YOUR LIFE! USE IT WISELY!!!
