“Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man
hear My voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him,
and he with Me.” Revelation 3:20
The Lord
is knocking on the “heart door” of those
who are actively desiring to better know Him – those who love His presence and
are seeking to commune with Him on a higher level of relationship.
If these
qualities are to attract the attention of the Lord so He will begin to knock
upon your “heart door,” you must first
spend quality time with Him by “waiting upon
the Lord” in anticipation of His “knocking”
upon the door of your spirit.
There
are two steps in this process of “waiting upon
the Lord.”
“Blessed is the man that hears Me, watching daily at My gates, waiting at the posts of My doors. For whoso finds Me finds life, and shall
obtain favor of the Lord.” Proverbs 8:34-35
In the
first step, we look toward the gate (door)
in worshipful anticipation, waiting for His presence to be manifested to us.
When the Lord responds, we can begin to “wait upon Him,” acknowledging His presence as
being with us, and then actively “cooperate”
with Him in whatever way He may lead or direct.
If there
was ever a time when we need to be led by the Holy Spirit - our being in the right place, at the right time, with the
right word, it is today. We are to be good stewards of this “calling” by keeping ourselves available so we
can hear and become a vessel through whom the Lord can speak.
