We are walking in today:  I AM The Door.

John 10:9-15 9) I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. 10) The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. 11) I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. 12) But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. 13) The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. 14) I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. 15) As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.  Jesus said I AM the door, if anyone enters through Me, he shall be saved and shall go in and go out, in fine pastures.  This statement is a part of Jesus' teaching after He had healed the man who was born blind.  It had been at Jerusalem where Jesus had miraculously healed the man.  Evidently the man had been a familiar sight, in Jerusalem, perhaps because he begged for sustenance at some busy intersection.  It was a powerful miracle that no one could deny.  The man had been brought to the Pharisees, they were enemies of Jesus, confronted Him when ever they could.  They demanded signs--how about this one?  No, not good enough.  What the man who had been born blind but, now could see, refused to to deny that Jesus had healed him--was put out of the synagogue.  The point of Jesus' statement, I AM the door, is that the Pharisees were rejecting their only access to God.  Jesus later put it another way, when He said, I AM the Way,, the Truth and the Life.  No one comes to the Father, except through Me (John 14:6).  The same light of the world that reveals the way to the spiritually blind was also blinding to those who thought that they could see perfectly fine without any help from, Jesus of Nazareth.  When you think about it, they point of Jesus' discourse following this incident, is that we can not make it without Him!  He is our door, as well.  Consider the statement, I AM the door, if any one enters through Me, shall be saved and shall go in and out in fine pastures.  I AM the door!  He is the stone that was rejected by you, the builder.  But which became the corner stone and their salvation is of no one else! (Ephesians 2:20, 1 Peter 2:6, Psalms 118: 22, Matthew 21:42)  For there is no other name under heaven that has been given unto men, which we must be saved (Acts 4:11-12).  Jesus describes Himself in several ways, He is the Good Shepherd, the Cornerstone, the Bread of Life and the Water of Life.  Salvation has become a very simple matter.  There are not 4 or 5 paths to heaven.  We need not to be concerned with the complications of picking the best one.  There is one door!  One way!  All others lead in the wrong direction (Matthew 7:13-14).  It is with great animosity that the council looked upon Peter and John when they talked--there is salvation in on one else.  The same anger is directed at those who would teach the same message today, by a world that supposedly has many ways to heaven and many names through which to be saved.  It will take a great deal of courage to remain loyal to the risen Lord!  And insist that He is still the only way!  When they had heard this, they were pierced to their hearts and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, 'brethren, what shall we do'?  Peter said to them, repent!  Let each of you be baptized for the forgiveness of sins and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:37-38).  Salvation is conditional.  We must enter the right door!  Each one of us has the responsibility to make his or her own decision--to enter the door, then follow through.  The Lord will not drag us over the threshold, some say that salvation is totally by grace.  Of course salvation is utterly impossible without God's grace, but to say that it is solely by grace, removes the need for human response.  It would mean that we do not have to enter the door.  It would be more correct to say that the door is given solely by grace. We must have faith to enter in it (Ephesians 2:8).
We Thank You this morning!  For letting us know that You are the door!  That You are the Good Shepherd.  We come to You Father, knocking yesterday and then today we find that You are the door.  Everything that we need comes through You.  The Shepherd is over His sheep, and has no door in the field.  The Shepherd guards the sheep, giving his own life for the sheep.  The sheep know the Shepherds voice (John 10:16).  There is no temptation that will overcome us, there is always a way of escape given unto us!  He is the Way, the Truth and the Life.  He is the great I AM!  Look to the hills from which comes your help, your help comes from the Lord!  Call on Him--Jehovah Jireh!  Call on Jesus and the devil has to flee.  God is protecting you, He has a fence all round you.  He will leave the 99 to go look for the one.  He is the door.  You came knocking on yesterday.  God will give us the desires of our heart.  We are to lay aside every weight that would come against us.  He is our intercessor.  Get your mind off of what is going on in your life.  He is the door!  We are protected!  He is faithful and compassionate, we have gotta look at this with spiritual eyes.  He came to heal the broken hearted and to set the captive free!  He has laid down His life for us--no man took it away.  He is the door!  The way out of no way, He is the door!  You have got to get this!!  God is the door, we are protected!  We walk by faith and not by sight.  He is our keeper!  Our buckler and shield, is He!  He is all knowing, look at this with spiritual eyes--He came that we would have life and that more abundantly.  John 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.  I AM the door.  Fiveamprayer, came knocking on yesterday and then God comes to let us know that He is the door!  We started off the week sounding the alarm and seeking out the one and close our the week with I AM the door!!  We are to pray and not faint.  He sits at the right hand of the Father.  Oh what a great friend we have in Jesus!  Christ is the door!  He never changes!  He hears our prayers.  Don't give up, you have a door!  Hold on as the word says in, Proverbs 3:5-6 5) Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6) In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.  He is the Good Shepherd as in Psalms 23:1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.  God is the strength of our life!  Romans 8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?  Psalm 27:2 When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.  Hold on to the word!  Keep seeking Him!  When we seek we shall find.  When your finances come against you, you have a door of grace and mercy.  God is the door.  All that we need is found in Him!  There are doors of opportunity being opened unto you right now, fiveamprayer!  Because you came seeking, asking and knocking!  The door has been opened, walk through.  I AM the door.  Let them know about the sheep in the pasture, the Shepherd is the door!  He leads and protects the sheep.  It is He that can open a door that no man can shut and shut a door that no man can open!  Get excited, you have the one and only door--the only way in and out.  Thank You for being the door.  Give Him thanks this morning, for being the door!  There is healing on the other side of the door, whatever you were knocking for on yesterday, God has heard and is giving you access through the door.  He is the door.  What do you need--reconciliation in your marriage, what God has put together let no man put asunder!  Healing in your body, we know that by His stripes we were healed!  Looking for provision, He is Jehovah Jireh, the Lord who Provides!  He is our way out of no way!  He is the way and keeps us in perfect peace with our minds stayed on Him!  He restores our souls (Psalms 23:3)!  He is the Good Shepherd and will lay down His life for His sheep.  We have not, because we ask not.  We must be specific in our prayers.  The door is open.  He will fill us the overflow.  God is pouring out blessings that there won't be room enough to receive!  We get double for our trouble!  Fiveamprayer, we will get a 1,000 fold return!  I AM the door!  Can you see that with spiritual eyes?  I AM the door!  Take some time out to read John 10 for yourself.  I AM the door.  Thank You God!  Hallelujah God!  Keep on knocking, fiveamprayer He is the door.  We lift up fiveamprayer and are excited because, You told us You are the door!  That provision is already made!  Thank You Lord!  Hallelujah God!  We lift up prayer requests those known and unknown, the door of healing, forgiveness, restoration, He will fill us to the overflow.  We come to repent and ask forgiveness, thank You Lord for forgiving us with no condemnation.  Thank You for setting us the perfect example of how we are to forgive each other and to be forgiven by You.

We seal this prayer in His precious blood, by His Spirit:  I AM the door!  We have a way out!
