Jesus, Holy and True

The Power of Jesus to Open Doors

An Open Door…

•Access to God and Christ

“Behold I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me.” (Revelation 3:20 NASB)

•Access to Greater Spiritual Insight

“After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven, and the first voice I had heard, like the sound of a trumpet speaking with me, said, ‘Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after these things.’” (Rev. 4:1 NASB)

•Opportunity for Greater Work and Service

“But I will remain in Ephesus until Pentecost; for a wide door for effective service has opened to me…” (1 Cor. 16:8-9a, NASB)

•Opportunity for Greater Faith

“… they began to report all things that God had done with them and how He had opened a door of faith to the Gentiles.”(Acts 14:27b, NASB)

•Opportunity for Sharing the Word

“Praying at the same time for us as well, that God will open up to us a door for the word, so that we may speak forth the mystery of Christ…” (Col. 4:3a, NASB)
