How to Open Closed Doors Before Me

How to Open Closed Doors Before Me

In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, be blessed. One of the topics frequently discussed among Christians, especially in the Last Days Church, is how to open doors that are closed before us.

Many of us are in search of quick solutions just to see the doors in front of us open. This is why you will find some people seeking prayers from ministers, others looking for special oils or blessed water, while some even go for fortune-telling or star readings. Many other things happen in the midst of Christians. Unfortunately, after doing these things, the situation often remains unchanged. Why? Because that is not the method God has put in place to open closed doors before us.

The Bible tells us in Job 22:21:
“Submit to God and be at peace with him; in this way prosperity will come to you.”

Knowing God means seeking knowledge about what He desires. Without the knowledge of God, it’s easy to fall into destruction.

How to Open the Doors Before Us?

Now, briefly, we will use the Bible to understand how to open the doors that are before us. Also, remember, not every door that is closed before you is the work of the devil! Some doors are closed by God for His own purposes. And we know that God’s purposes are always good. So, we will discuss in general how to open all doors—whether closed by God or by Satan.

Let’s read:

Revelation 3:7-8
“And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: These things says He who is holy, He who is true, He who has the key of David, He who opens and no one shuts, and shuts and no one opens: I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name.”

Here, we see that Jesus has the power to open and shut doors, and no one can change what He has decided. (This is the first point to remember: not every closed door is the devil’s doing. Some doors are closed by Christ Himself.)

However, if we continue reading verse 8, we get the answer to our question: How do we open the closed doors before us?

Jesus, who holds the key to everything, says: “I know your works!” This reveals that the opening or closing of doors is connected to the actions of a person. He continues, “I have set before you an open door, which no one can shut, because you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name.”

Three Reasons Why the Door Was Opened for This Person

  1. Because they have a little strength.

  2. Because they have kept His word.

  3. Because they have not denied His name.

Christ has not changed. The same reasons He gave in the past are still the same reasons He uses today to open doors before us.

1. Spiritual Strength

First, we must have spiritual strength. The Bible says in

1 John 2:14:
“I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the wicked one.”

The strength that comes from the word of God within us is what makes us spiritually strong. A person who does not have the word of God inside them will have very little spiritual power. And remember, to hide God’s word in your heart is not about memorizing Bible verses. It is about living out one scripture, seeing its effect in your life.

For example, the Bible says, “Love your enemies, bless those who curse you…” (Matthew 5:44). If someone memorizes this verse but does not apply it, they have not truly hidden God’s word in their heart. But if they pray for their enemies, they have kept that word in their heart.

2. Keeping the Word of God

Keeping the word is different from living it. Keeping it means you act on it every day, not just today and leave it tomorrow. It’s a daily practice of God’s word in your life.

3. Not Denying His Name

The third reason this person had their door opened was they did not deny His name. Denying God’s name is akin to rejecting your faith. When Peter denied Jesus, it showed he had turned back in his faith. Similarly, a person who turns back from their faith locks themselves out of the blessings before them.

We must not run to oils, anointing waters, or prophetic prayers as a shortcut. The only way to open the doors to the opportunities we seek is by correcting our actions and keeping God’s word in our lives.

If you have not yet surrendered your life to Christ, now is the time to turn from your sins and sincerely seek Him. You do not follow Christ just because you need opportunities, but because you recognize that you are a sinner and need to be transformed. Christ welcomes all who repent and confess their sins, regardless of how great their rebellion may have been.

And when you receive His forgiveness, which comes with a peace beyond understanding, you should not delay—go ahead and complete your salvation through baptism by immersion in water (John 3:23, Acts 2:38). And the Lord will give you the gift of His Holy Spirit to guide you into all truth and help you overcome the sin you could not conquer on your own.

Once saved, you will have eternal hope. And since you have sought first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, the doors you have been waiting on will open freely without manipulation or external rituals.
