SINCE SO MANY ARE TALKING ABOUT THE YEAR 5784 AND AN OPEN DOOR, COULD IT BE DIFFERENT THAN WHAT MANY ARE PRESENTING AS ITS MEANING?

AFTER THIS, BEHOLD I LOOKED AND A DOOR STANDING OPEN IN HEAVEN… Rev4:1
I just keep feeling like there is much more to this, the 5784 Open Door, than what I have heard others speaking, at least at this point so far…and know that we all receive revelation in part. We know that Jesus is the Door for the sheep. What does He have in store in the year of the Open Door? I keep sensing it has more to do with “Him” and His interaction with the church in the coming days, more than with anything else. I keep sensing a greater invitation from Him for greater intimacy and fellowship with Him and to “come up here that He may show us things to come”
“After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, “Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this.” Immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, a throne set in heaven, and One sat on the throne. And He who sat there was like a jasper and a sardius stone in appearance; and there was a rainbow around the throne, in appearance like an emerald.”
Revelation 4:1-3 NKJV
Could it be that the Body of Christ begins to function in greater access to, “Come up here and I will show you things which must take place?” Could it be that the Bride will receive the greater revelation of this Mighty and Awesome King that we serve and His rule and reign? Could this be a year of greater habitation with His children and partnership with Him in the midst of the darkness currently on the earth?
JESUS “IS” THE DOOR
““Most assuredly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. Then Jesus said to them again, “Most assuredly, I say to you, I AM THE DOOR of the sheep. All who ever came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them. I AM THE DOOR. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep.”
John 10:1-4, 7-9, 11 NKJV
I know many are writing about the year 5784 and the year of the open door. What if the year of the open door brings a greater understanding and Revelation of Jesus the Door? He is the door for the sheep and He is the door by which we enter into Heavenly gates and the very Throne room of God. What if in the year of the Open door, The Body of Christ receives and experiences a greater Revelation of Heaven and the Throne of Grace? Jesus IS THE DOOR. We approach the Father through Jesus Christ who is the Door. No one comes to the Father but by Me, Jesus stated.
According to Ephesians 2:6, He has raised us up and seated us with Him in Heavenly places in Christ Jesus.
“Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; Mercy and truth go before Your face. Blessed are the people who know the joyful sound! They walk, O Lord, in the light of Your countenance. In Your name they rejoice all day long, And in Your righteousness they are exalted. For You are the glory of their strength, And in Your favor our horn is exalted.”
Psalms 89:14-17 NKJV
What if in this year of the Open Door we see righteousness and justice released into the earthly realm. Righteousness and Justice are the foundations of His Throne. Let it be so here on earth Lord as in Heaven. According to Revelation 4:1, the Door is standing open right now. What if our prayers and intercessions for “Thy Kingdom Come and Thy will be done in Earth as in Heaven,” is answered with a greater release of Heaven into the Earthly realm and true justice and righteousness is finally released into Earth?
I am just pondering and asking these questions. Our access right now to the Father is through Jesus Christ Who is the Door which is standing open in Heaven. Since Jesus is the Door, and 5784 is the year of the Open Door, it seems to me that our focus on Jesus will greatly increase and our access to the Heavenly realm will be a focus for the Body of Christ. The veil between Heaven and Earth may be thinner than ever. What if our access through the Door brings greater prophetic release to the body of Christ and direction for the plans and purposes of God here on earth. We enter through the Door, hear the plans from the Father and bring it back to release His will in this very time and hour.
I believe the invitation to enter into greater intimacy with Jesus is being presented to us…to “come up here and I will show you things to come.” Greater fellowship with Him, visitation and habitation. If we are to look to the open Door in 5784, we will have our eyes fixed on Jesus Who is the Open Door and access to our Father and His Throne of Grace and Righteousness and Justice and Intimacy and Habitation and the activity of Heaven. Enter by the Door.
Ambassadors of Christ, receive your instruction in Heaven in the places of intimacy with God and impart that instruction on earth as it is in Heaven. He will show us things to come. The Holy Spirit is the revealer of mysteries and the opening up of His Word. We are called to go in and out and carry out His will here on earth. Jesus is the Door according to John 10. The doorkeeper, the Mighty Holy Spirit, opens the gate for the sheep to go in and out and find pasture. Let our eyes be open to the Greater access through Jesus Christ to this Throne of Grace where righteousness and justice are its very foundation.. I AM THE DOOR FOR THE SHEEP.
“Let us then fearlessly and confidently and boldly draw near to the throne of grace (the throne of God's unmerited favor to us sinners), that we may receive mercy [for our failures] and find grace to help in good time for every need [appropriate help and well-timed help, coming just when we need it].”
Hebrews 4:16 AMPC
God the Father has set before us THE OPEN DOOR WHO IS JESUS by which we have access to the Heavenly Father who is the author of Revelation and Truth that we Are called to Impart on the Earth.
“I know your [record of] works and what you are doing. See! I have set before you a door wide open which no one is able to shut; I know that you have but little power, and yet you have kept My Word and guarded My message and have not renounced or denied My name.”
Revelation 3:8 AMPC
