Knock Knock....Who's There?

Knock Knock. Did you hear that? Some one or some thing is knocking at your door. What door am I speaking of? The door to your heart. The Bible says in Proverbs 4:23 to guard your heart and to protect it. Why? Because, out of it flows the issues of life.

When your past comes knocking, when worry, stress, anxiety, self pity, depression, sucicidal thoughts, unworthiness, lonliness, doubt, ex boyfriend's from the devil, hurtful relationships, broken promises, or anything else that is not from God DO NOT ANSWER THAT DOOR! How? I'm glad you asked! It is just as easy as it is for you not to answer that phone call from someone who you certainly know you do not want to speak to. The same way when someone knocks at the door and you either aren't expecting them or you just don't want to talk. You have the power to choose which door you are going to answer. I love it when UPS or FEDEX show up at my door! I love it because I know I am going to receive something that I love! It's going to be something I am either receiving from someone or something I ordered myself. It is the same way with God and all the wonderful things he has for us!
When all those things knock at your door that are not good for you ask God to answer that door. I am reminded of a song by Chris Tomlin called "Whom Shall I Fear". There are so many powerful words in there that I am fired up about my God when I hear it! I especially love the lyrics " the God of angel's armies is always by my side". Wow! What an amazing thought! That means that when you go to battle God goes before you! God sends an army in for us. We don't have to fight that battle! The great news we already have is that the fight is over! The battle is won! When the devil tries to tell you about your present circumstance or past failure be sure to remind him of his past, present, and future! GOD WON! That's all there is to it! The enemy has no place in your life because Jesus took care of that by not only going to the cross but conquering death! He arose! He is alive! He is alive in you!
So, when those things come knocking at your door just say, "God, can you answer that for me?" When the doctor's tell you it's impossible, God's answer at that door is "ALL things are possible to Him who believes". When your crazy ex tells you you'll never find another like him/her.....you tell them GREAT! God has better for you. He has the BEST for you! When finances are low and your back to square one just remember that God's answer to that door is He will supply ALL your needs according to HIS riches!
Guard your heart. Don't let any thing or any one that is not supposed to take residency in your door. Don't even answer that door! God loves you. He believes in you. God's got your back!
