Hi, Pastor John:<\/span><\/p>\n

Last Wednesday, I was driving and had what I guess would be called a “day-vision”.\u00a0 I was standing at an open door, and on the the other side of the door was the cleanest feeling I had ever felt; I also felt love like I had never experienced it before.\u00a0 I was praying to the Lord, “Jesus, I want to step through this door to the other side, I want to have what I was feeling all the time.”\u00a0 It was like the scripture, “the word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth.”\u00a0 I knew it was so close, but felt so very far away.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then Jesus revealed to me what he was doing in this vision.\u00a0 Jesus was what you have been teaching us about the door; He opens and no one closes, or…he closes and no one opens.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When I looked around in the vision, I noticed I was standing inside a room, looking out of the door that was already opened.\u00a0 Through the door was Jesus.\u00a0 What I had been feeling was him!\u00a0 He is the cleanest feelings you can have, he is the fullest love one can experience.\u00a0 Jesus was standing at the door and knocking, he was waiting for me to ask him in.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If any man will open the door, I will come into him, and sup with him, and him with me.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Jesus is not rude!\u00a0 he will not beat your door down, or break in.\u00a0 He will politely knock and wait for you to not only open the door, but ask him in.\u00a0 Then, the dinner begins.\u00a0 Jesus even brings the dinner, a lamb that has been prepared :).<\/span><\/p>\n

In the spirit, he told me that he has knocked on many doors, and that he knew they were home, but they would not open the door.\u00a0 In short, Jesus was not welcomed, for whatever reason.<\/span><\/p>\n

I want to get to the place, like Paul, C. where Jesus will come in.\u00a0 If we let him in, all of those feelings (love, peace, joy, etc.) he brings with him (dinner) will be shared to all that are in that house.<\/span><\/p>\n

I also pray that I keep my house clean, and worthy for Jesus, for when he comes knocking.\u00a0 I don’t want to be embarressed for Jesus and His Father to enter.<\/span><\/p>\n
