INSIGHT

Open Doors Signal Divine Access

  • Jesus promises an open door that no one can close and a closed door no one can open, signaling divine access and authority.
  • That access ties to obedience and perseverance, not human promotion or size.
ANECDOTE

Tearing Up The Letters

  • John describes his early self-promotion era where he mailed letters and promoted Bevere Ministries.
  • After hearing God ask whether he wanted to be sent by John Bevere or by God, he tore up the envelopes and waited on God to open doors.
ADVICE

Check Motives Before Promoting

  • Ask your motive before promoting a message and let pure motives guide promotional choices.
  • If the intent is to minister and reach people, pursue the opportunity; avoid promotion driven by self-glory.
