The Open Door of Deliverance
When Christ saw that the foundational pillar of the church in Philadelphia was based on the salvation gospel, He gave them open door. When He saw that they were deadly determined to obey Him at all cost without negotiation, He gave them open door. They received open door to overcome every enemy and be freed from slavery, physical pains, sufferings, infirmities and deliverance from death.
‘I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name’ (Revelation 3:8).
‘But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost. For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries’ (1 Corinthians 16:8-9).
Endurance Through Christ’s Open Door
Open door from Christ does not respect any limit, full stop, confinement or adversaries. The lives and ministry of the brethren in Philadelphia is evidence that all things are possible and nothing is impossible. It is an evidence that a church, a person, a group, a family, a city and nation can be delivered. Open door that comes from Christ does not respect or accept partial deliverance or evil left over. There may be an adversary, adversities but they cannot close doors opened by Christ forever.
The enemy may fight, but will not win, stop you or destroy you. Christ’s open door can endure forever, resist internal and external forces. Move unmovable mountains and cure incurable sickness. An open door from Christ does not negotiate with any evil force, every knee must bow. If you receive open door from Christ, your enemy may start but they will not finish. You may have problems but they will not overcome you.
The problem of the majority of Christian community is that they do not know what they have. With little strength, the church in Philadelphia overcame all the Asian demons, including Diana of Ephesus. With little strength, their initial power of salvation, they overcame the prince that once ruled the whole world (see Acts 19:27). But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared unto them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus.
You can prosper, remain prosperous, receive God’s power, remain empowered and increase in power until you become powerfully powerful without weakness.
‘The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger’ (Job 17:9).
‘And I will wait upon the LORD, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him’ (Isaiah 8:17).
The Divine Utterance of Christ
The brethren in the church at Philadelphia entered into God’s righteousness at salvation, refused to come out of that power, exchange that power, misuse that power, despise that power, toil with that power or corrupt that power. They hold on the way of that power, refused to be diverted by all forces and maintained relationship with the owner of that power to the day of their reward. They refuse to allow any defilement, hand pollutions to defile their hands.
When God saw how they used their little strength, He empowered them to be strong and stronger. They waited for God’s time, God’s time of visitation, God’s plan and valued God’s way of deliverance more than the deliverance that come from the devil.
‘Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ’s gospel, and a door was opened unto me of the Lord’ (2 Corinthians 2:12).
‘Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds: That I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak’ (Colossians 4:3-4).
Satan attacked them with arrows of delays, pains and used all manner of evil devices to take away the little strength they had but they resisted all his devices. When Christ opens a door for you, that single door will lead you to all manner of blessings, good things and overthrow your enemies. You will receive the door of utterance, power to say the right thing at the right time and nobody will say a better one. If you receive door of utterance, you will speak and every demon will not only hear, but they will obey.
In times of deliverance, whatever you utter will stand. Kings, governors, heathen rulers and world leaders will hear and obey. Door of utterance can penetrate into dark rooms of satanic kingdom and expose their secrets, destroy their plans and set captives free. Door of utterance from Christ is so powerful and more powerful than the most powerful enemy on earth.
Door of utterance from Christ can pierce into the ocean, sun, moon, stars and into bottomless pit and paralyze every evil power. It can set every captive free and disengage committed monitoring evil force in a moment of time. Instead of looking for fake power, occult power and satanic help, why don’t you ask for open door for utterance? It can enter into the heart, soul, spirit, joints, marrow faster than medical surgical knives, drugs and the air.
No creature can stop the move of divine utterance. Evil magnet cannot magnet divine utterance. No hook from anywhere, cord or thorns from evil forces can prevent divine utterance from divine intentions. No appeal, supplications or covenant can persuade divine utterance from action. Soft words, violent speeches, evil utterances and curses from any evil force cannot stop divine utterance from movement.
It is easier, possible to stop a moving train, flight or ship in the sea on high speed but it is not near possible to stop divine utterance. No power among the creature, in heaven and earth can bring divine utterance into slavery or persuade Him to suspend action.
Nobody or power in the whole universe can play with divine utterance or bind Him for a moment. You cannot delay divine utterance, make a banquet for Him or block Him with iron bars. No weapon of destruction, spears can stand in the battlefield at the appearance of divine utterance. Every champion among champions of all the forces of darkness withdraws and forgets battle at the appearance of divine utterance.
The hope of experts, the best of the bests in the kingdom of darkness becomes vanity and drop down their weapons at the manifestation of divine utterance. They are cast down in submission at His sight. No power retains their power or remain fierce or dare stir Him up or stand to put up a challenge before divine utterance.
Nobody, wise or foolish among the creature has discovered how to win divine utterance in battle. Divine utterance is God Himself and is full of divine mercy. Old ministers, young ministers should go for divine utterance because He has all the mysteries yet to be exposed.
‘Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him. And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the keepers before the door kept the prison. And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands. And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And so he did. And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me. And he went out, and followed him; and wist not that it was true which was done by the angel; but thought he saw a vision. When they were past the first and the second ward, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth unto the city; which opened to them of his own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and forthwith the angel departed from him. And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know of a surety, that the Lord hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews’ (Acts 12:5-11).
