Open Doors

O p p o r t u n i t i e s

P o s s i b i l i t i e s

Are you an Open-Door or Closed-Door Person?

How will you know which doors are for you?

What will you do when they open?

I have seen the misery of my people

in Egypt. I have heard them crying

out… I am concerned about their

suffering. So I have come down to rescue them… and to

bring them up out of that land into a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey… Ex 3:7-8

1. Open Doors Lead You into God’s Heart

2. Open Doors Stretch You Beyond Limits

Moses, I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt! (Ex 3:1-10)

The Burning Bush Encounter

God never chooses the wrong person!

“Moses spend his first 40 years thinking he was somebody. He spent his second 40 years learning he was a nobody. He spent the third 40 years learning what God can do

with a nobody.” Dwight L Moody

Instead, God chose things the world considers

foolish in order to shame those who think they

are wise. And he chose things that are powerless

to shame those who are powerful. God chose

things despised by the world, things counted as

nothing at all, and used them to bring to nothing

what the world considers important. As a result, no one

can ever boast in the presence of God. 1 Cor 1:27-29 NLT

Will you let God take you beyond the limits of

your capabilities, experiences and resources?

3. Open Doors Build Your Character

God is more interested in WHO YOU BECOME

than what you accomplish.

1. Who are you, God? (Ex 3:4-6)

2. Who am I to go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites

out of Egypt? (Ex 3:11)

3. What shall I tell them? (Ex 3:13)

3. Open Doors Build Your Character

4. What if they don’t believe me or listen to me? (Ex 4:1)

5. I’ve never been eloquent. I am slow of speech (Ex 4:10)

6. Lord, please send someone else (Ex 4:13)

God’s building your character through each challenge & trial.

3. Open Doors Build Your Character

God’s transforming you with each revelation of His glory.

Three different times I begged the Lord to take it away. Each time

he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.”

So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power

of Christ can work through me. That’s why I take pleasure in my

weaknesses, and in the insults, hardships, persecutions, and

troubles that I suffer for Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

2 Cor 12:8-10 NLT
