By Kathi Pelton
I heard the words, “Tell those who followed my voice to what appears to be a dead end that it is NOT a dead end but a closed door that will open before them in my perfect timing.”
I hear the Spirit of the Lord saying that there are many of you who feel like you went down a dead end road with no room to turn around and you feel stuck there with no where to go. But get ready because you are not at a dead end but rather a closed door that is about to swing wide open for you. The closed door has protected you from moving ahead outside of his timing.
This opening of the door is about divine timing and alignment so that your steps are established according to his perfect plans.
God is the One who orders times and seasons. Job 38:12 says,
““Have you ever given orders to the morning, or shown the dawn its place,”
Just as God orders the beginning from the end, the sun and the stars, the water and the land; so He orders the times, seasons and boundaries of our lives.
This is the time to focus on the hope set before you— the Author and Finisher of that hope. Celebrate his goodness, his love and his faithfulness as you prepare to cross the threshold into what he has prepared for you.
You will see the God of “more than you can ask or imagine” align the pieces needed to bring forth the open door.
Shake off discouragement and hopelessness— even frustration and anger— and align your heart once again with the promises of God for your future.
The Lord brought me to this verse for you in 2 Samuel 7:25,
“And now, O Lord God, confirm forever the word that you have spoken concerning your servant and concerning his house, and do as you have spoken.” 2 Samuel 7:25
HE WILL CONFIRM HIS WORD OVER (CONCERNING) YOU AND HE WILL DO WHAT HE HAS SPOKEN!
Be sure to ask him if there is anything that he is wanting to prepare your heart with while you wait. Waiting is not wasted when we are actively waiting and allowing the Lord to prepare us for moving forward and crossing into the new land.
Realign your heart and mind with his Spirit that lives within you and believe again! Reject every thought that has accused you of missing the mark or not hear him correctly— remember, you are the one who makes your plans according to the best of your ability to hear him but it is GOD ALONE who then orders and establishes your steps into his plans and purposes for your life. If you’ve committed your plans to him and asked him to order your steps then that place of waiting will prove to be the place that the doorway of promise fulfilled will open up for you.
Do not back up or leave the place that his “word concerning you” has led you to. He will do what he has spoken!
You are not at a dead end— you are standing before a door that will open in God’s perfect timing.

WILL YOU HELP US THROUGH A DIFFICULT SEASON?
In the past month we lost nearly $1k in committed support due to the hardship in some of our supporters lives. We also had our car totaled when another driver failed to stop at a red light and on Father’s Day, Jeffrey had a grand mal seizure and is continuing to have seizure activity.
We are confident in God’s hand upon us but while we focus on Jeffrey’s health we could really benefit from the support of our readers and ministry followers.
THANK YOU FOR STANDING WITH US AT THIS TIME!
