Most believers I know have a desire to be useful & effective & achieve things in God.
We want to win people for the Lord & talk about Him in every way we can.
Paul constantly talked about the Lord & often asked for prayer support in getting opportunities, or what is sometimes described as opening doorways of utterance. We speak of being keen and enthusiastic, or zealous, but zeal is not always what we think it is and can often be misplaced.

In this presentation, we shall look at zeal, those open doorways and of the times when God actually shuts the door on us. In Revelation 3, we see-
He who is holy, He who is true, He who has the key of David, He who opens and no one shuts, and shuts and no one opens, says these things: I know your works. Look! I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it. For you have a little strength, and have kept My word, and have not denied My name. Revelation 2:7-8

We shall see that there are times when God actually removes us, or places us in exile for a purpose.
He may take us out of a situation that could harm us in some way, or put us in a place of preparation, training us, equipping us, or separating us until the day comes when we can emerge out of our exile and be most productive.

He did that to Joseph! He did that to John the Baptist. He did that to Jesus and He could be doing that to you.

What you are about to read can liberate you and be a real blessing.

Keep walking by faith
