The Open Doors of Satan

This will be a typical Sunday morning sermon. That was a joke, of course. It ought to be. This title was bestowed upon me by God. When I heard that, I felt a shiver run down my spine. The Open Doors of Satan. We should all be aware that we frequently give way to an open door. We occasionally open something in our lives without even realizing it. To break in, all you need is access, access to something otherworldly. I’m not referring to the supernatural or celestial realms. I’m referring to Satan’s supernatural world. When you talk about the supernatural, you’re talking about the realm of the unknown. That’s not only good, but also bad. Our souls can be accessed through a door. There is a door, and the enemy can enter through it. It makes no difference whether it’s merely a crack. All you need is a crack in your door, and he’ll be able to come in. Between light and darkness, this door is slightly open. Our adversary is confined to the world of darkness by God’s holy decree. He doesn’t have access to light. The law will not be changed by the Bible. Jesus triumphed, and that power remains in our midst. Is it necessary for us to know whether or not we can still open the door? I’m sure there are a few of you who are perfect, and because you’re so holy, you’ll be going to Heaven soon. You’ve never had anything wrong with you. You never sin, and I know that, but for the rest of us, there is an open door that occasionally appears, and it occurs as a result of something we do. I’m going to discuss a specific aspect of one problem that is linked to a slew of other issues. I know you’re going to be excited, so take a deep breath and relax so you can stay focused. We are free of these wicked forces, but if the door is left open, Satan and his henchmen get legal access. Their goal is to keep the places that open the door under control. Because all they need is access, and once they have access, they have legal rights. We have granted the adversary legal rights because we have given them to them. Have you ever felt as if the enemy was deliberately targeting you? Let’s face it, I’ve been there. 'You’re the one who opened the door,' God stated one day. Have you ever received a word from God and then requested a different one? Hallelujah. Access by the enemy invariably leads to death, destruction, and the loss of freedom. It could even be your life on the line. In Matthew 16:18, Jesus refers to these doors as gates. 'The gates of hell,' he said precisely. Are these the gates of hell? Any Christian should be aware that the adversaries have had access to a large portion of the Body of Christ at times, and the Body of Christ has just shrugged it off as normal. Do you realize there are a lot of folks who don’t believe in the demon realm, don’t believe in fighting a good faith struggle, yet still attend church? Do you recall what a prophet once told me? 'If the enemy isn’t stirring things up against you, if he isn’t coming for you, then you’re on the wrong track,' he says. God be praised. Hallelujah. Right now, I can confidently state that I am on the right track. I used to have a good season, but not anymore.
