The Door That Cannot Be Shut

“Prayer is an open door which none can shut. Devils may surround you on all sides, but the way upward is always open.” — Charles Spurgeon

“I know all the things you do, and I have opened a door for you that no one can close. You have little strength, yet you obeyed my word and did not deny me.” - Revelation 3:8 NLT

John’s encouragement to the church in Philadelphia reminds us that faithfulness to God’s Word leads to doors being opened by God that no man or force can close. Yes, Satan prowls like a roaring lion, and temptation presses in on every side, but God’s promises remain unshaken.

Obedience and prayer keep us connected to the Father and grounded in victory. The enemy whispers, "You don’t have time," but the truth is, time with God is the key to accessing everything we need for life and godliness.

Start today with an intimate conversation with the Father. Then sit in His presence and allow His Word to speak back to you. The door is open—walk through it.

"Success in life is discovering the Father’s will for our life, then doing it." — Jim Cymbala
