“To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write:These are the words of him who is holy and true, who holds the key of
David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open.
I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little
strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name.
because a great door for effective work has opened to me, and there are many who oppose me.
Now when I went to Troas to preach the gospel of Christ and found that the Lord had opened a door for me,
“So I say to you: 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.
I will place on his shoulder the key to the house of David; what he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can
open.
And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which
I am in chains. 4 Pray that I may proclaim it clearly, as I should.
2. OPEN GATE
The Lord wil grant us an open gate. He will destroy every resistance,hindrance and obstacle. The Lord who is strong and
mighty in battle will come through the open gates and grant us victory in every battle we face. The blessings of the
Lord will reach us without any hindrance through the open gates.

to strip kings of their armor,to open doors before him so that gates will not be shut:
I will go before you and will level the mountains; I will break down gates of bronze and cut through bars of iron.
I will give you hidden treasures, riches stored in secret places, so that you may know that I am the Lord,the God of
Israel, who summons you by name.
Your gates will always stand open, they will never be shut, day or night, so that people may bring you the wealth of the
nations— their kings led in triumphal procession.
Open the gates that the righteous nation may enter, the nation that keeps faith.
Lift up your heads, you gates; be lifted up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in.
Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle.
Lift up your heads, you gates; lift them up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in.
Who is he, this King of glory? The Lord Almighty— he is the King of glory.
Open for me the gates of the righteous; I will enter and give thanks to the Lord.
This is the gate of the Lord through which the righteous may enter.
The One who breaks open the way will go up before them; they will break through the gate and go out. Their King will
pass through before them, the Lord at their head.”
