Opening God-Made Doors with the Key of David
““To the angel of the assembly in Philadelphia write: “He who is holy, he who is true, he who has the key of David, he who opens and no one can shut, and who shuts and no one opens, says these things: “I know your works (behold, I have set before you an open door, which no one can shut), that you have a little power, and kept my word, and didn’t deny my name.” (Revelation 3:7-8 WEB)
King Nebuchadnezzar had a dream and he didn’t tell anyone the contents of the dream.
Despite the secrecy, Daniel was able to tell the king exactly what he dreamt, and interpret the meaning of the dream!
This miraculous occurrence can only be by God, for who can peer into a person’s mind to see what they dreamt?
“The king answered Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, Are you able to make known to me the dream which I have seen, and its interpretation? Daniel answered before the king, and said, The secret which the king has demanded can neither wise men, enchanters, magicians, nor soothsayers, show to the king; but there is a God in heaven who reveals secrets, and he has made known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Your dream, and the visions of your head on your bed, are these...The king answered to Daniel, and said, Of a truth your God is the God of gods, and the Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, since you have been able to reveal this secret.” (Daniel 2:26-28, 47 WEB)
Nebuchadnezzar’s dream was given to him by God. And only God could give Daniel knowledge about the contents of the dream and to understand the dream.
The dream was a door made by God, and the interpretation was a key from God, given to Daniel only.
Repeat this after me: Some locked doors have no man-made keys. Only the One who holds the Key of David can open them for me.
Jesus can make a door just for you, and place the key firmly in your hands.
Remember to ask Him, just like Daniel asked Him for the interpretation.
“Daniel went in, and desired of the king that he would appoint him a time, and he would show the king the interpretation. Then Daniel went to his house, and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions: that they would desire mercies of the God of heaven concerning this secret; that Daniel and his companions should not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon. Then was the secret revealed to Daniel in a vision of the night. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven. Daniel answered, Blessed be the name of God forever and ever; for wisdom and might are his. He changes the times and the seasons; he removes kings, and sets up kings; he gives wisdom to the wise, and knowledge to those who have understanding; he reveals the deep and secret things; he knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with him. I thank you, and praise you, you God of my fathers, who have given me wisdom and might, and have now made known to me what we desired of you; for you have made known to us the king’s matter.” (Daniel 2:16-23 WEB)
When God changes the time and season, you need fresh wisdom, knowledge and understanding from Him to triumph in the new territory.
He removes wicked kings and sets up new ones that please Him. A change of time and season can mean a removal of enemies in your life and a promotion for you.
Believe and receive this: the Lord will place you in the right place at the right time, and give you the key to open and walk through that door for your breakthrough!
