All Are Welcome By Faith

The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.

Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, Lord have never forsaken those who seek you. – Psalm 9:9-10

Throughout our lives we will see many doors with signage that are meant to stop us from entering in, and although the sign was meant to keep us out,

sometimes, we must conjure up the courage to turn the knob to gain access. At times our limitations are self-made and without consciously knowing that the block is our doing.

I remembered visiting a sick person at a nursing home and one of the nursing attendants was in a Crises and in need of spiritual intervention. The other attendants were trying to console her on the floor and eventually they took her into a private room. I knew that my pastoral service was needed, because the Holy Spirit told me so. However, the door had a sign that read “Authorized Personnel Only.” This immediately stopped me from entering in, disobeying the move of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit lead me look at the signage again, and it read the same thing “Authorized Personnel Only,” and the Spirit said, “I’ve authorized you.” After getting that second confirmation, I immediately opened the door, only to find the woman in a worst state.

Never the less, I called upon the Holy Spirit for help in praying this woman, which her to her breakthrough. After praying with her by the power of the Holy Spirit. She calmed down and returned to her normal state. The woman and the other two attendants thanked me. I shared with them, that I had accidentally got off the wrong floor and they immediately, said that it was no accident. You will operate in God’s power when you believe by faith (2 Cor. 12:9).

God knows best, and he is the keeper of the door, but He made us stewards over the door and we must let Him in and entering in when He calls us in. I had to let Him in, to be used to help the woman in Crises. His door is always open, and He wants your door to always be open to him. God wants to help you in Crises and beyond, but you must let Him in. When you let Him through your door you enter in His door.

Our God welcomes all, for the scripture tells us that He is no respecter of a person (Acts 10:34-35) and He wants us all to enter in.
