Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me. “In My Father’s house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also. And you know the way where I am going.” John 14:1-4 (NASB

38 Elisha now returned to Gilgal, and there was a famine in the land. One day as the group of prophets was seated before him, he said to his servant, “Put a large pot on the fire, and make some stew for the rest of the group.” 39 One of the young men went out into the field to gather herbs and came back with a pocketful of wild gourds. He shredded them and put them into the pot without realizing they were poisonous. 40 Some of the stew was served to the men. But after they had eaten a bite or two they cried out, “Man of God, there’s poison in this stew!” So they would not eat it. 41 Elisha said, “Bring me some flour.” Then he threw it into the pot and said, “Now it’s all right; go ahead and eat.” And then it did not harm them.  2 Kings 4:38-41 (NLT)

“Send your light and your truth; may they lead me and bring me back to Zion, your sacred hill, and to your Temple, where you live.”  ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭43:3‬ (‭GNB‬)‬

Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God; for many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God  1 John 4:1-2 (NRSV)

For the kingdom of God does not consist in talk but in power. 1 Corinthians 4:20 (ESV)

“I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you … and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you” Genesis 12:2-3 (NIV).

“But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”   ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6:20-21‬ ‭(NIV)

If you think the door is closing, it is time for a decision.  You can stand still, sulk and have the door close on you, or you can make a decision. If the door is closing then take a step.  Either move inside where you were comfortable, or you take a step towards the unknown.  If the door is closing, you have an opportunity.  Are you going to consult with me and allow me to give direction? Or are you going to make your own decision and then whine about your situation? If the door is closing, ask if I am responsible for that. Move in or move out as you sense I am directing you.  If you think that door is closing, you are correct. It is.  Now is the time for your decision. God replied to Moses, “I am who I am.  Say this to the people of Israel: I am has sent me to you.”   Exodus 3:14 (NLT)

God didn't give us a cowardly spirit but a spirit of power, love, and good judgment. 2 Timothy 1:7 (GW)

Persevere, do not grow weary nor depressed. Press through what the enemy has set before and and walk in my peace.  Know I am ever-with you. Breath-in my peace and exhale into new life ways. My promises to you yet exist. Work towards them: grow in my ways.

I yearn for the Lord, more than watchmen do for the morning, yes, more than watchmen do for the morning.   Psalm 130:3 (NET)

But you have been anointed by the Holy One, and all of you have knowledge. 1st John 2:20 (NRSV)

But if you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask for anything you want, and it will be granted!  John 15:7 (NLT)

You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.‭‭  Matthew‬ ‭5:14-15‬ (‭NIV)‬‬
