"Stop Trying to Open Doors that God Has Closed"

Scripture- Revelation 3:7

Preacher- Rev. Edward Robinson III, Assoc Pastor, FBC, Belmar, NJ

How many times have you stood in front of a locked door and trying to find the right key to open it?

We often believe that all "spiritual locked" doors is because of the enemy. But-----we should resist this thinking and be sure we are not going against God's will. You may feel rejection, but it is for your protection. Open doors = provision and closed doors can = protection.

God knows our entire timeline and he can see around the corners we can't see. Closed doors insulate us from the storm. Closed doors are divine course correction. True faith is not forcing the door open that He closed.

Accept God's "NO". Honor the closed door. Know He has a better door for you. (Proverbs 3:5-6).

Be blessed!!!

"BENEFITS OF THE BLOOD"

Scripture- Hebrews 9:12-14

Preacher- Minister Adrianne Robinson, Assoc Minister FBC, Belmar, NJ

All of us are familiar with immunizations-vaccines. Many of us, since the age of 2 weeks old have received the needle jabs to protect us from certain types of diseases.

Just like our bodies need vaccines to keep us from being contaminated with disease---Our blood – contaminated with sin due to the the choices we make to live against God and be

His enemy. We need a Savior- who gave of Himself-suffered and shed His blood to give us reconciliation, forgiveness, protection, provision and to be called God's friend.

Jesus---he died once---for all—and offered Himself to God! His blood offers ongoing protection- no booster needed!! Only the blood of Jesus can cover us and put us in right standing with God.

Beloved- there are benefits of the blood!!
