“So yesterday and this morning I keep noticing open doors 🚪 around my home that should be shut..but somehow they were opened not all the way opened just barely cracked a bit..one was a closet door and usually it’s shut up but it was cracked opened and I noticed it immediately..and reached over and closed it up..Amen..and one was this morning in my home as I was coming back in from taking Benjamin out..I have a mud room and a door that leads into the kitchen..so I locked 🔒 it and even thought I closed it all the way..but as I am cooking breakfast 🍳 I turn and noticed that the door 🚪 was not shut completely but the lock 🔒 on it was pushed up..so again I go over and I close the door..Amen..because for me when I see a cracked opened door I always think of the scripture speaking about entering into the sheepfold not by the door but climbing 🧗 up some other way the same is a thief or a robber..(John 10:1)..Amen..because the Bible says that the devil is a thief..and a liar 🤥 (John 8:44)..that he is sneaky and crafty..that he comes only to kill to steal and to destroy..(John 10:10)..so for me if there are cracks in my doors around my home and I’m speaking spiritually and physically then stuff can get in..Amen..and at times if we are not paying attention those things can get in quickly..Amen!”

“But as well when things are locked 🔒 up tightly and are secure well then things can’t just get in..Amen..they have to come through the door 🚪 of course but as well they have to come through properly..by knocking on the door and by you answering the door and letting whomever is there on the other side of the door so to speak in..and if you don’t want to welcome whomever is there..well you have the right to close the door..Praise the Lord..because here’s the thing guys if we do not keep the doors of our lives closed then anything and everything will come in..and most of the time it’s a lot of stuff and a lot of mess..Amen..and the enemy only brings the same ole things that he has always brought to you and your home 🏡..nothing good whatsoever just a bunch of stuff that more than likely you have already dealt with in your life..so if the ole evil one is coming to your doors that may be cracked open just a little trying to dangle a little bit of 😨..a little bit of worry..a little bit of doubt..unbelief..sickness..past..whatever it is..then you my friend get up with authority..and close them doors 🚪 and lock 🔒 them up tightly..Amen!”

“And we do this by paying attention to our lives..but as well the Bible says for us to guard 💂 our hearts 🥰 ..for out of them are the issues of life..(Proverbs 4:23)..the doorway so to speak..what we watch..what we hear 👂 goes into our hearts 🥰 and our minds..so we have to keep those doors 🚪 closed against things that are bringing harm..and hurt 😞 and all things that are not good whatsoever for you and I..Amen..and it tells us that when we pray 🙏🏻 we are up enter into the closet and shut the door 🚪 ..(Matthew 6:6)..not necessarily talking of actually entering into a closet but talking about a private..quiet place without distractions that we can pray 🙏🏻 to the Lord without being open to everything else..in other words an open door 🚪 if you will..because the enemy wants us to be distracted and not paying attention to what is happening..he wants us to rush through the prayer 🙏🏻 time with Jesus..instead of having that time to be shut up with Him alone..as it says in the scripture shut the door 🚪..Amen..so I pray this morning that we pray 🙏🏻 that God would set a watch before our mouths and keep the doors 🚪 of our lips..(Psalms 141:3)..that we understand that what we do and what we say will bring life or death to us and our homes 🏡 in which we live..so I pray 🙏🏻 that we all keep the doors 🚪 closed and that we all get up and lock 🔒 them up ever so tightly..keeping that ole enemy of our very souls under our feet 👣 where he alone needs to be..for our God has defeated it all..won every battle..(1 Corinthians 15:54-57)..for we my friends are the head and not the tail..we are above and not beneath..for we are blessed and highly favored of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ..(Deuteronomy 28:13/Luke 1:28-31)..so rise up and go forward in victory and confidence knowing that if God is for us then nothing can be against us..(Romans 8:31)..Praise the Lord!”

“For it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen & Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi ❤️
