“Pass Through the Gates” DON’T STALL ANY LONGER
“I will go before you and make the rough places smooth; I will shatter the doors of bronze and cut through their iron bars." Isaiah 45:2
I awoke Monday morning and heard in my spirit, “Pass through the Gates!” I’ve been marinading in this word all week.
As I began to study, I quickly realized there are many different types of “Gates” referred to in scripture. Many kinds of gates representing different aspects of life. For instance…
Gates of praise,
Temple gates,
Gates of death,
Gates of cities,
Gates of righteousness,
Gates of salvation,
Prison gates,
And the list goes on and on…
I want to ask you, what “Gate” have you come to in your life? You are being led by the Holy Spirit, He has brought you to the “Gate” that you are now approaching. Will He not certainly open the gate and make smooth the rough places!
I want to decree Isaiah 45:2 over you! He will shatter the great iron bars that seem of mighty resistance in your life!
Genesis 22:17 In blessing I will bless you and in multiplying I will multiply your descendants like the stars of the heavens and like the sand on the seashore. And your Seed (Heir) will possess the gate of His enemies.
In this scripture God was promising Abraham, that because God is God, because there is blessing in obedience, and blessing in having a heart after God, He says your Seed will possess the gates of His enemies!
Abraham was willing to sacrifice his son to show his level commitment to his God! In return God sacrificed HIS one and only son.
God has given you the Gate that you have approached, now He says, “Pass through the Gate that I have possessed for you!”
Gate in the Bible symbolizes Power! And Dominion!
Jesus said, “And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. Matthew 16:18-19 nkjv
The Amplified says it like this, “I will give you the keys (authority) of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind [forbid, declare to be improper and unlawful] on earth will have [already] been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose [permit, declare lawful] on earth will have [already] been loosed in heaven.”
The work is (already) done in Heaven! We pull the completed work of Christ into our atmosphere using our words and faith to receive it! We must align ourselves with the intent and culture of heaven, living by a kingdom not of this world while we are yet in this world.
Isaiah 62:10 Go through, Go through the gates! Prepare the way for the people; Build up, Build up the highway! Take out the stones, Lift up a banner for the peoples!
I believe God is prophesying this scripture over His church and over individuals today!
He has prepared the church for such a time as this! Trust that the “Gate” He has brought you to pass through, is His perfection at work in you.
“I am the Gateway. To enter through me is to experience life, freedom, and satisfaction.” John 10:9
Enter through Him! PASS THROUGH YOUR GATE THROUGH CHRIST!
Experience the life, freedom, and satisfaction that His life-giving Spirit will add unto you as you enter and pass through in Him! IN HIM!!!
John 14:1-7 tpt “Don’t worry or surrender to your fear.[a] For you’ve believed in God, now trust and believe in me also.[b] 2 My Father’s house has many dwelling places.[c] If it were otherwise, I would tell you plainly, because I go[d] to prepare a place for you. 3 And when everything is ready, I will come back and take[e] you to myself so that you will be where I am. 4 And you already know the way to the place where I’m going.”[f] 5 Thomas said to him, “Master, we don’t know where you’re going, so how could we know the way there?” 6 Jesus explained, “I am the Way, I am the Truth,[g] and I am the Life. No one comes next to the Father[h] except through union with me.[i] To know me is to know my Father too. 7 And from now on you will realize that you have seen him and experienced him.”
JESUS SAID… “I AM THE WAY! ENTER THROUGH ME!”
He is not leaving you to pass through your gate alone. He is promising His Anointing will be upon you.
Hebrews 12:2 tpt We look away from the natural realm and we focus our attention and expectation[a] onto Jesus who birthed faith within us and who leads us forward into faith’s perfection.[b] His example is this: Because his heart was focused on the joy of knowing that you would be his,[c] he endured the agony of the cross and conquered its humiliation,[d] and now sits exalted at the right hand of the throne of God!
tpt Footnotes say:
- 12:2 Implied by the Aramaic word chor, which implies a gaze upon Jesus full of expectations that he is enough.
- 12:2 Or “He is the pioneer and perfecter of faith.”
CHURCH, let us set our gaze in the right place.
Thursday Evening the Lord began to speak very strongly to us to call for prayer Saturday morning. I heard in my spirit, “Don’t miss this opportunity!” Don’t miss it church!!!!! I didn’t find out till Saturday morning that many ministries were calling for spur of the moment Saturday morning prayer! What a confirmation!! These are unprecedented times, “All we have to do is follow the voice the Spirit! As He speaks, we will be obedient!” We don’t have to be loud, unless he says to be loud. We are “KINGDOM PEOPLE”, we are people of the Spirit, we will walk in obedience to the voice of the Lord.
JESUS WAS MEEK. They spit on Him, they slapped Him, they blasphemed and swore crudely against him. He was like a lamb led to the slaughter, yet he rose as the Lion of Judah. If you want to know how to live in these days look closely at the life of Jesus in the scripture. The Father gave Him his directive through prayer and Jesus was obedient.
Let us take this directive from the Lord today, “Pass Through the Gates!” Hell cannot prevail against you church! Move forward in victory! Possess the Key, Possess the Gate and MOVE FORWARD!!!!!!!
In my devotions this morning, I heard these words, “STOP STALLING!” I send forth this word over the church in Canada, “STOP STALLING!!!” In Jesus name!!! Pass through and Possess!
Friday morning I was in a call with women on the frontlines and the girls started talking about how the prophets are declaring 2022 is the year of the “Open Door!” Wow!!! We're on the right track!!
