It seems right now in endtime history the people I run into were at one time on fire Christians but for whatever reason the devil did an attack on them and got out of the daily fight. 2 instances I can recall sharing my heart and what's on my mind with old believers and by the end of the conversation they knew it was God that we had met up! I love sharing fire folks! It's in me blood! I tell them things are falling apart and falling right into place and God is winding time down and winding revelation up! Great message today! Go out and spread the kingdom and compel them to come in! Love you guys! THE DEVIL IS A LIAR! Go out and make someone's eternity! Stay lit 🔥 kids! See you soon in that new glorified body!

P. Greg mentioned Fentanyl. I live in San Diego county, about 1/2 hr from the San Ysidro border crossing, the busiest in the world. In 2021, 170,000 people died from Fentanyl overdose and they said just a few grains the size of salt is enough to kill every person in the US. Despite the recent drug busts worth millions of dollars, 70% of border agents are assigned to processing immigrants since Biden opened the border. This leaves only 30% to try to deal with the influx of drugs by the Mexican cartels. Anyone, kids included, can buy anything on the black market and they're all disguised as Rx drugs but laced with Fentanyl. Although I don't put stock in anything the CDC says, it did say Fentanyl has now become the #1 cause of death in the US. The cartels keep coming up with ingenious ways to get these drugs into the US and use many immigrants to do it. A number of them have lost their lives in the process which is consistently and regularly reported on the news. It just keeps getting worse and worse.

Witnessing: It's mind-boggling to me how many lost people there are. I've encountered anger and hatred, those who just don't want to hear it, those who adamantly believe they're going to Heaven because of their beliefs apart from Jesus, and even Christians so wrapped up in their daily lives, they're not giving thought to what's coming and how close we are. I keep them all in prayer daily and keep hoping I can realize an opportunity when it crosses my path. We never know, despite appearances, who will get saved and who won't. It's encouraging to know that an opportunity for the same person might present itself more than once at a time God chooses.

You got it! I am really sensing the Holy Spirit opening doors right now... You talk about the BIG doors, and I am glad there are those of you who are equipped to go through those BIG doors on a regular basis. You have a call on your life like Paul, or Peter (maybe Peter) and so much is being accomplished through you for the glory of God! But there are little doors too... Lots and lots of little doors that the Lord ever so gently pushes open. Those are the ones I love to go through the most. It is so fun to see what kind of adventure the Lord will arrange as I follow Him through each door... I love Jesus. We all do! We can’t wait to see Him face to face!! Until then we cling to the joy that is ours in Christ in serving Him, and relish those moments with Him to accomplish His will, BIG and small, till we slip into the heavens, forever. Good post today! Thanks for sharing it BIG!! 🌻

Thank you for the beautiful message. This week is a tough week for our Family. I had been in pain for months and a couple of weeks ago, went to the altar to bring some dark thoughts to the light as I was struggling with the will to live and it has been robbing my joy that I wish to give to the Lord in worship. This week, an ER visit revealed that cancer is back and has invaded my lower back and my liver. My Husband is devastated. We’ve been married for 23 years at a very young age. I still feel God’s peace in this situation but also praying victory over the pain which is impacting my mobility as well. I will either need God’s miracle this time or walk in Faith as I prepare to meet God. My kids (22 and 13 yo) are also shaken. My Husband desperately wants me to fight and asking God some dark questions ‘am in being punished’? He’s a fairly new believer and was baptized in Jan with our Son. He has guilt that he’s not as far along in Faith as I am and I give him grace in that situation and edify his efforts and how far he has come. Our adult Daughter has agreed to be baptized (before this cancer knowledge), at our home. We just need some help with Prayers for God’s peace and to trust him. I need some help praying for victory over the pain. We have pain meds but don’t love the fog and headaches that come with that. My Husband falls asleep holding my hand and if I so much as move he squeezes so tight, he doesn’t want to let go. He needs help to gain victory over fear and leaning into surrender to his loving Father.

I know it's God's will for everyone to be saved, but not everyone will be. Still, I hold to Isaiah 55:11 that His Word does not return void and opens the door to many people so their minds, hearts, eyes, and ears will receive the gospel of truth and the deception of Satan will be crushed under Jesus' feet. I find this a very encouraging Scripture.

Thanks Pastor Greg, for the wealth of knowledge you have departed on all of us this morning in Revelation. Truly God can open doors that no one can shut, and close doors that no one can open. It is my prayer that God will open the doors for the saints of God, to proclaim that Jesus is on His way!

Thank you for this encouraging message today. I had just written in my prayer journal about opportunities and then opened this message. We are Christ's ambassadors and have work to do by the power of the Holy Spirit. Thank you.

Thank you Pastor Greg, wonderful. You have a knack for putting the cookies on the table. Then everyone has a chance for a cookie, because everyone can reach them. Praise God!! I'm so grateful for this article. I am going to the doctor today and for labs, I pray Jesus opens a door for me this day, and gives me the courage to step through.

God's blessings on us all.

Maranatha

Open doors… and closed doors. Both are incredible blessings and opportunities from the Lord. It’s harder for me to accept closed doors but remain thankful when He closes a door believing He’s faithful to open a new door or even an old door that is brand new. One of my passions is missions. God opened up big doors for us for many years to lead and go on the mission field. It was my heartbeat… growing Simply Love & Man Up and Go ministries were our passions. I thought we’d be doing this a lifetime— but I physically felt that door close in 2016… along with a few other open doors I cherished. It was painful to walk through and still is if I’m being totally honest. I long to return to international missions but I know in my heart He placed us in the church for local missions and serving the church. I pray for new open doors and live expectant— Pastor Greg sparked the reminder to keep praying for open doors and when He does GO!!! “When that door opens, it is very important that you go through it.” Big or small doors it’s our God-adventure!! Let’s keep loving big, praying big and serving big! 💛

Such a great message. I was extremely moved by Angels message, please join us in prayer for her and her family and her fight against cancer. I had some other things I was going to say but I think I will just leave it at that today. Gods blessings to each of you today and may He smile upon you as you walk todays path.

Thank you! I have been misled for years but the same God that has taken care of me in the past will take care of me in the future! I love all of you and treasure your friendship. God bless!

Regularly in my prayers, I praise God for opening doors only He can open, and shutting doors that only He can shut. But I realize now that was only one part. I will now ask him for the opportunities that come with open doors, and ask for patience in the waiting when doors shut in my face. Thanks, Pastor Greg. This message made a huge impact on me.

Im still waiting for my open door. But what I have been learning through this season is that, I can still plant seeds every day while I am out and about. Ive even had a few opportunities to pass off my printed pocket-size ABCs of salvation. While nursing, it wasn’t always so easy bc I was chasing task after task after task and w constant interruptions. Right now, Im just allowing opportunities to fall as the Lord allows. Im obviously in a season of Quiet, while waiting, listening and praying. Except Im not so good on the waiting. I see myself in my border-collie 🐶 down on all four, being commanded to , wait, Wait, WAit, WAIt, WAIT - but when God opens that door - GOOOOOO!

"We forget the fact that we are blessed to be a blessing. And we are alive in this troubled era of our nation’s history for a reason!"

...That's gonna leave a mark. 🙏
