GATES OF GOD
For about eight months, the Holy Spirit has been speaking to me the words, “Gates of God.” The following is an ever so brief introduction to the Gates of God. Daily I hear from others that they are praying for God to open a portal, a gate, a path, a road, a means for them to experience breakthrough. It seems rather clear that obedience unto the LORD GOD is the one key for an opening of a gate in our lives. The gates might include financial, relational, structural, educational, healing, restoration, redemption, recompense, employment, occupational, spiritual and earthly prosperity, discernment, wisdom, knowledge, favor, blessing, light, revelation and truth. There are 218 additional scriptures not listed here.
May the Holy Spirit bring each of us revelation according to HIS desire, will, way and purpose for this season in our lives and may the KING of GLORY open the Gates!
