Open The Door

From: The Purpose Driven Life Ministries

Revelation 3:20 "Here I stand, knocking at the door. If anyone hears Me calling and opens the door, I will enter his house and have supper with him and he with Me."

If we want to fulfill God’s vision for our lives, we must be open to continually hear from God. We must believe that hearing from God is a requirement for us as we move forward toward our destiny. It is not just a nice add-on to our lives; it is a necessity for fulfilling our destiny.

The Bible says, "Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed." (Luke 5:16) This was a habit with Jesus and it needs to become a habit in your life. What I'm teaching you is not something you are going to do one time. It's something you need to do every day the rest of your life. If you want to get God's vision for your life and hear God's voice, you need to meet with Him daily.

This means you take the phone off the hook and you remove as many distractions as possible. Jesus says, "Find a quiet, secluded place so you won't be tempted to role-play before God. Just be there as simply and honestly as you can manage. The focus will shift from you to God, and you will begin to sense His grace." (Matthew 6:6)

Here’s the thing - You are not waiting on God, He's waiting on you. God wants to meet with you. He wants you to know Him as well as He knows you.
