21 Days 2020 | Day 3 | Jesus is Knocking

Church of the City Guided Prayer

SCRIPTURE
------
Rev 3:20 Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.
DEVOTIONAL
------
One of the most important things that we need to remember as we are engaging in this fast is that the Lord desires to commune with us!
He wants to come in. He wants to be with you. He is talking. He is present. He is waiting. And He can come closer. He doesn’t put conditions on what’s behind the door. He simply wants to come in and be with you.
He already loves you, he likes you, he delights in you and guess what…He’s already seen behind the door and it hasn’t spoiled his appetite. He still wants to come in.
So let’s read the passage again. Use your imagination. Jesus is at the door of your heart. He says, “Here I am! I’m standing at the door and knocking. If you hear my voice and open your door, I will come in and eat with you, and you with me.”
REFLECTION
------
Jesus is at your door: What are you feeling? Are you excited? Are you panicked? Do you want to swing the door wide open for him, or do you have reservations? Do you believe he is excited to see you? If not, what do you think he is feeling?
PRAYER
------
Jesus, You have said, you are waiting and wanting to be with me. Please show me when and where I don’t believe this. I want you to come in! I want to have an open door policy with you! I want you to have the keys! Like the Psalmist said, “The closer I am to You, my God, the better because life with You is good”!
Psalm 73:28 (VOICE)
