SCRIPTURE
Isaiah 45:2 I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron:
KEY STATEMENT
It is important to recognize the fact that it takes power to open doors. There are 2 kinds of doors : spiritual and physical.
The opening of physical doors answers to the opening of spiritual doors. It means in other words that when spiritual doors are closed, every effort to open physical door is in vain.
When the people who came back from captivity desired to rebuild the temple, financial doors were closed. There was no way the duty would be fulfilled until the doors in heaven were opened as we read in Isaiah 45:1-3,
"Thus saith the Lord to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut;
[2] I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron:
[3] And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the Lord , which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel."
4 THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT OPEN DOORS
1st truth : You command open doors through the anointing
In verse 1, God calls Cyrus, "my anointed ..."
2nd truth : Open doors is not man's doing. It is God's doing
Still in verse 1, God reveals to Cyrus that it will not take hunan's hand but God's hand to open the doors. He says,
"I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut;
3rd truth : Open doors answer to God's leading and guidance
In verse 2, God says to Cyrus,
"I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron"
4th truth : Powers of darkness are powers behind closed doors
In verse 3 God reveals to Cyrus that darkness is the cause behind closed doors. He says,
"And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the Lord , which call thee by thy name, am there God of Israel."
