Have any of you ever been to a hotel and got on an elevator and went to a floor and then came out of the elevator? What is the first thing you see? Well the first thing you see is a long hallway, and along that hallway are a lot of doors; and all of the doors have numbers and each of those numbers a location where an event has or will transpire. In any case, the owners of that hotel, through one way or another, will have to bare the responsibility of all and any results of each one of the corresponding numbered doors on each hall on each floor of that building. Clients may ask, “how many rooms do you have available?” Before the front desk can answer anything with clarity, they must check with housekeeping in some way first.
This is somewhat the same way, our minds or “psyche” operate, by searching and checking the recesses of our mind to answer any task or situation that is asked of us. In that hallway on that floor, some doors may read “occupied” while others may have a sign on the door that reads “do not disturb” and others may have on it “storage,” and that door can only be unlock by management or maintenance. But today we’re going to talk about the “do not disturb” sign. Sometimes in our mind, we have a way of thinking that we don’t want no body to disturb or discuss, because to do so will cause you to challenge your self made theology and in some cases may cause you to call forth that Peter spirit in you when the Lord had told him, “Peter, if you live by the sword you will die by the sword.”
Proverbs 14:7-14 says:
7 Go from the presence of a foolish man, when thou perceivest not in him the lips of knowledge. 8 The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way: but the folly of fools is deceit. 9 Fools make a mock at sin: but among the righteous there is favour. 10 The heart knoweth his own bitterness; and a stranger doth not intermeddle with his joy. 11 The house of the wicked shall be overthrown: but the tabernacle of the upright shall flourish. 12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. 13 Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; and the end of that mirth is heaviness. 14 The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: and a good man shall be satisfied from himself.
It’s not until a person opens and releases the contents behind that door in their mind or even their heart that there will always be apart of themselves that will never be free. This may be the reason why a lot of things that you have had dreams and vision about haven’t come to fruition. You see, Jesus can’t bless or restore back to a level to do His will until you release you. A lot of times, the Lord has set you free; but we haven’t set ourselves FREE!
Proverbs 23:7-9 says:
7 For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee. 8 The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, and lose thy sweet words. 9 Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of thy words.
In my Conclusion, Job 8:6-15 says:
6 If thou wert pure and upright; surely now he would awake for thee, and make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous. 7 Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase. 8 For enquire, I pray thee, of the former age, and prepare thyself to the search of their fathers: 9 (For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days upon earth are a shadow:) 10 Shall not they teach thee, and tell thee, and utter words out of their heart? 11 Can the rush grow up without mire?
can the flag grow without water? 12 Whilst it is yet in his greenness, and not cut down, it withereth before any other herb. 13 So are the paths of all that forget God; and the hypocrite’s hope shall perish: 14 Whose hope shall be cut off, and whose trust shall be a spider’s web. 15 He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand: he shall hold it fast, but it shall not endure.
