Walls Become Doors

"May his name endure forever, his fame continue as long as the sun! May people be blessed in him, all nations call him blessed! Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who alone does wondrous things. Blessed be his glorious name forever; may the whole earth be filled with his glory! Amen and Amen! The prayers of David, the son of Jesse, are ended." Psalms 72:17-20 ESV

The provision is so immense that it covers every person. Let word of it fill into every ear and mend every heart. God's Love is so great it could fill this planet like an ocean can fill a tea cup.

"Then, the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them, 'Peace be with you.' When He had said this, He showed them His hands and His side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord. So Jesus said to them again, 'Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.' " John 20:19-21 NKJV

Christ passed through the wall of fear to reach these people. Our walls are no obstacle for Him. Our limits do not limit Him. Seeing Christ transformed them. The walls must have faded into the background.

They saw the hands and side of one who passed through Death and returned to them with a smile. No door stopped Him because He was never going to leave them or forsake them to their fears.

"And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them, 'Receive the Holy Spirit.' " - John 20:22 NKJV

He showed them the way out of fear and let them inhale what He was exhaling. They needed a deep breathe of hope.

There is a lot of talk that reinforces the walls of fear... not grace. Grace words pass through the walls and give you air to breathe again.

I'm taking a good look at Jesus today. He survived the un-survivable. He didn't dodge the bullet He took the bullet. Now nothing can touch Him and He is in my life and He is not ever going to go anywhere. His peace can take me out of whatever is keeping me in. His purpose displaces my need for survival and His glory fills the Earth.

"Blessed be his glorious name forever; may the whole earth be filled with his glory! Amen and Amen! The prayers of David, the son of Jesse, are ended." Psalms 72:19-20 ESV

I want my prayers to end here also.
