A Closed Door vs A Locked Door | Pastor Jordan Oloomi

Jesus said, “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened." But there are times when we ask, seek, and knock that the door before us doesn't immediately give way. So how do you know if a door is just closed or if it is locked? The Israelites struggled with this various times as they tried to pass through the cities in their travels through the wilderness. In one instance, they retreated, but in the next, they fought. It is with humility, persistence, and not compromising your values that you can evaluate if the situation before you represents a closed door or a locked door.
