Have you ever worked hard, prayed continuously, and done everything right—only to run straight into a brick wall? In Part 1 of "God's Openings," Pastor JD reveals why a closed door isn't a punishment, but often a hallway to God's greatest opening.
Looking at the Apostle Paul's unexpected detour in Acts 16 , we learn how to recognize when the Holy Spirit is saying "no" to our plans in order to protect us and redirect us toward something better. If you are feeling stuck, discouraged, or confused about your next steps, this message will help you hold your plans loosely and hold onto God tightly!
In this sermon, we cover:
The Opening in Faithfulness: Why God builds our character in the present before revealing our future destination.
The Opening of Divine Protection: How to recognize when a roadblock is actually the Holy Spirit keeping you out of harm's way.
Responding to the Opening: Why we must be willing to immediately leave our broken plans behind when God reveals a new vision.Believe Before You See: How true faith requires action before the final destination is visible.
Key Scriptures: Acts 16:1-10 Galatians 6:9 Proverbs 16:9 John 11:40
