Nehemiah 2 & 3 on the GATES!
There are both physical gates on our bodies and Spiritual gates we need to keep a guard over.
1. Mind - gate
2. Ear - gate
3. Mouth - gate
4. Heart - gate
5. Soul - gate
Eyes gate to the soul.
Gates allowed people to enter plus lock people out.
Gates are powerful and rather effective both to include and exclude people, thoughts, places and things.
We have many gates active in our daily walks with God not only Spiritual gates but physically, emotional and locational gates.
Many houses have a FRONT & BACK DOOR/GATE.
Garden of Eden our main heaven on earth. The 1st heavenly Jerusalem.
Adam & Eve didn’t have a physical gate but they had to have an Angel guard the garden when they sinned against God.
Genesis 3:24 says, “He drove out the man, and at the east of the garden of Eden he placed the cherubim and a flaming sword that turned every way to guard the gateway to the tree of life.”
Cain & Abel - murder
Genesis 4:7
If you act rightly, you will be accepted; but if not, sin lies in wait at the your door: its urge is for you, yet you can rule over it.
Gates/doors are a protection to those inside and those outside.
There is a spiritual meaning in these gates!
When you lift the lid and look a little deeper you find that God has hidden within those gates significant spiritual truth for both an individual's Christian life, as well as His prophetic plan for the ages.
A stronghold is a fortified dwelling encamping around our belief system. Our distorted thinking patterns and faulty core beliefs are the strongholds that hinder our agreement with God’s Word. Identifying and tearing down our strongholds is essential to walking in the fullness of God’s victory and power.
Examples of stronghold thought patterns are fear, doubt, negativity, expectations or rejection or betrayal, performance based mentality, victim thinking and so many more. These are the strongholds that formed through our life experiences and are contrary to the Truth of God’s Word. They alter how we perceive God, His character, promises and who we are in Him and the authority that we have through Christ Jesus.
Guarding our doors and gates are extremely important. How we take in information and process it is how things enter through the doors and gates of our soul. Our five senses are the doors and gates that allow information to enter. It is important to feed the spirit not the flesh so we are to guard our borders.
This is notes in picture form taken this morning.
