When God Opens Doors

When God opens a door in front of you, you have two choices!

1. Ignore it, or
2. Walk through it!

Back in the nineteen seventies God showed me a vision for the healing ministry. At the time, walking through such a door seemed an impossibility. But when you are compelled by the Love of God, impossibilities become realities. And, in time, those first steps of faith led to the establishment of Ellel Grange and God then took the work around the world.

One thing I have learned in this new season of my life is that Romans 11:29 is true! “God’s gifts and callings are irrevocable.” Which simply means that you don’t lose the gifts God gave you and that throughout life it is your calling and responsibility to practice them.

So, when God showed me a new door marked Gates of Hope International, I knew that I would only be able to ignore it by saying ‘No’ to God (not a good idea!) and denying the way God has worked previously in my life. So I pushed on the door, it opened and I walked through it.

Little did I know that this would lead so quickly to many more more doors! One of these opened directly into the Middle East. While I have worked with believers in Israel for many years, it has been a dynamic new experience to see how The Shepherd is not only calling to His sheep in the land of Israel (the sons of Isaac), but is stirring the hearts of the Sons of Ishmael, right across the Arab world, as Scripture foretells:

“So the Lord will make himself known to the Egyptians . . .  they will turn to the Lord and he will resond to their pleas and heal them” (from Isaiah 19:21,22)

But getting to those whose spirits are being stirred by visions of Jesus is not easy and our GOHI leaders in the region are urgently needing to have a set of bilingual teaching videos on evangelism, healing and discipleship, in Arabic and English, which they can post online and take with them to teaching and training opportunities throughout the Middle East.

So, in faith, I pushed on this particular door

and we have invited Arab leaders from across the Middle East to come to a special five day training course, which we will video to a professional standard and then release right across the Arabic speaking, largely Muslim, world!

This is an incredible vision and opportunity – and while it has never been my intention to use my Blog for fund-raising, God has opened this vital and urgent door, and the opportunity is so great that I am taking the risk of asking you to help with covering the essential costs of putting the course on, recording it in high quality video and making it available throughout the Middle East in every possible way.

In total, we only need about £5000. This is a relatively small amount to achieve so much. We have pushed open the door, God is making it possible and I pray that some of you will be willing and able to make a contribution towards making it happen.
