Door Ajar

Pastor Steve — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 05:00:21 +0000

Whenever my door ajar light comes one. It’s almost like a competition in my family. Whoever can determine which door was left open will become supreme master over all things. And of course if you are the person who left the door open, it’s a terrible shame Anybody else have this competition?

Yesterday I shared how I once ignored the dashboard warning light: door ajar. It led to a terrible situation that could have been avoided.

I am convinced that the reason so many of us are not seeing God’s blessings, favor, healing, and increase in our lives is because we have left the door ajar.

We have the left door of past regrets, failed relationships, negative emotions open. And so we are driving down the breakdown lane of life. We are hobbling around WITH A MINDSET THAT GOD NEVER INTENDED US TO HAVE.

We have left the door open to what our past boyfriends and girlfriends have said about us. We have left the door open to what our failed marriage says about us, what our failures at work say about us.

We have left the door to shame, guilt, and fear open; and now we walk around seeing ourselves as failures. We see ourselves as worthless. We see ourselves as never getting ahead. We feel empty and ashamed.

IN DATING, HOW YOU SEE YOURSELF, WILL DETERMINE WHO YOU END UP SEEING.

If you see yourself as guilty, as a failure, as a loser, as never getting ahead, believing that God will never bless you, then you will walk right into that. Almost like a magnet in a junkyard you draw those things in. What you meditate on is what you move into. You won’t go after God’s best, you will end up settling for less than God’s best because you don’t believe God loves you enough to bless you in this way.

Stay faithful. Your miracle is coming. Your time is next. God wants to do more than you could ever think or imagine. Don’t bail before the breakthrough!

What you do for Christ MATTERS!

Last Sunday was an amazing day at the Dialogue Church because of stories like these. I love the heart of our people, I love how Jesus has increased our desire to lead unchurched people to become hardcore followers of Jesus Christ. Check out this story from last Sunday, posted by one of our faithful attendees:

“Last sunday, i got to see something very exciting.. Something that made me feel so good inside, brought tears to my eyes. I was sitting in service, listening to you (Pastor) .. you were talking about the connection cards.. and the first box on it. you were doing the prayer for those who were inviting jesus into their life.. I looked out of the corner of my eye and saw a man. He grabbed a pen out of our cups, and he looked at you, took a deep breath, and filled in that first box. He held onto that card like it was hope. I smiled.. It is truly amazing to see what God is doing with and through the dialogue church and its people. Thank you guys for doing what you do. Lets change one life at a time ♥ See you sunday.”

That is why we do what we do. Your ministry matters. Are you serving Christ in the local church? For more info on how to serve at theDC.tv visit www.TheDC.tv/volunteer.
