Life’s Doors

 


Life has many doors, as we grow older, we pray for doors to open. And we earnestly send those requests through prayer. Lord, please send me breakthrough or Lord, please open this opportunity. We pray for success in life that we focus on those earthly things. We felt discouraged every time God says “No” or “Wait”. Even opportunities that are meant to land your hands slip in an instant. We sometimes resent God because he made those bigots become the upper arm. But then again, you concede to God as He is the master planner of everything, and He knows what He is doing.

My friend, what door are you looking for?  The doors of life’s journey have many shapes, colors and, sizes but you’ll never know what’s really inside. Then again you say, “Lord, I’m asking for this and that”. You beg, you cry but answers are still not given. You start to question yourself whether you displeased God or have you done something wrong. Anxiety runs your mind and you become helpless as if God doesn’t hear your prayer.

Before you let your mind be clouded with those thoughts, let us remind ourselves with God’s words. God hears our prayers even the unspoken ones. He loves you as His child and He cares for you, He only wants the best for you (Psalms 66:19; Jeremiah 29:11). His thoughts are higher than yours. (Isaiah 55:8-9). Do not worry about anything; instead pray about everything (Philippians 4:6-7).

Then, what should we do since there are lots of doors along the way? Which one should you take? Start praying for God’s will and not yours. We cannot be in control for we do not know what we do. Guessing which path to take will make it worse. (Proverbs 14:12).

I have stopped by to many doors, some opened, and some shut by others but none of those have I felt conviction that it was His. So, I walked away and seek other doors. As my feet numbed for walking longer time, I started to doubt whether I decided it right. What is God’s will for me? And what should I do?

Pray… that’s the only thing that comes to my mind. But this time, I do not want to hear my voice wanting for this and that. I am asking Him to do as He pleases and to close the doors of which He doesn’t want me to take. And finally, leave His chosen door for me to walk on no matter what kind of size, color and, shape as long as He is with me.

The Witch Spirit Demon

Image
I woke up at 7 a.m. Saturday after battling a demonic entity, a witch spirit wearing my grandmother's face. I was looking at her but unable to recognize her. The spirit was enraged at me. She tried to approach me, mumbling words I cannot understand. So, I went out of the house and called out for angels shouting for reinforcement. Commanding angelic hosts to protect every corner of our house through the blood of Jesus while the demon inside the house was splurting curses to our household using unfamiliar language. The only word I remembered was "Harem". When I looked it up, in the context of demons, a harem is a group of demons that a character loves equally. That word is also arabic which constitutes women who are placed in one house, chosen by a Sultan to become concubines. In other words, it is attached to the spirit of lust, slavery and oppression. I woke up rebuking that spirit saying, "Thou shall not touch any of my household by the blood of Jesus". As chil...

Let Go, Let God

Whenever I hear these words I’d say, “Of course! That’s what Christians would do but one must do their best, then God will do the rest.” I think many would agree to that. I’m not someone who would wait for a miracle when I can let it happen if I just act in the first place. As confident as I am, when I knew I can do it as easy as a pie. When I was a teenager, we had a 3-day youth camp in our church with series of enjoyable obstacle course on the last part of the program. One of it was so unforgettable that it made my knees shivered and my co-camper even lost her energy to stand or walk after the exercise. What was it? “Mud Walk” You had to hold and grab the rope while being blind folded, keep down and find the way to the exit with your team. The goal was the exit or, we thought so. We were eager, we had much energy, we had confidence; giving up was not part of the option. No retreat; no surrender! Well, exit is just around the corner. And we had already won other obstacles one by one. ...

Quiet Time

Image
What's so important about 3 a.m. prayer or quiet time? So, let me share this. We had an overnight at our beach house last weekend. While sleeping at 3 a.m., I encountered a demonic entity. I recognized what it was in an instant. It was covered with black and red aura, he was kneeling at the center of the street and we were about to cross each other's path because I was moving forward. I thought we were going to have a spiritual battle or warfare but the demon was unable to move. So, I just passed through it. Little do I know, my mother was already having her quiet time and an audio prayer was amplified all over the house.  Then I remembered the demon's posture, he was kneeling and was unable to move, his hands are at the back like he was tied. He was kept still and frozen by a 3 a.m. quiet time.
