Let me start by saying I am not theological scholar or Bible teacher but I do believe I have the gift of encouragement and have a passion to share the gospel with people. God first chooses us. We can love the lord because he first loved us. If you hear the metaphorical knock at the door or I’d say your heart that’s The Lord calling you into a relationship with him all you need to do to “open” that door is to enter into a relationship with him. Start reading the Bible, seek guidance from a Christian friend, attend a Bible believing truth teaching church, ask questions, and start praying. Start the relationship with your savior. The more time spent together the more understanding and pull you’ll feel. In time a commitment to faith or the asking of Jesus into your heart will solidify your salvation and the relationship will continue.

Revelation 3:20: Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. God the Father, sending “His own Son in the ‘likeness of sinful flesh,’ walked not after the flesh, but after the Spirit,” who condemned sin in the flesh. “For He dwells in the high and holy place with one, ‘God the Father’ who is of a contrite and having a humble Spirit.” The spirit and souls who fail and fall before Him, which He has created, “He shall then revive the spirit of the humble and the heart of the contrite ones and shall not contend and be wroth with them.” (Rom 8:3-4/Isa 57:15-16) “Zacharias and his wife Elisabeth,” who were righteous before God the Father, “walked in the ordinance of God,” who were stricken in years and then bore a son in her womb, as the “angel of the Lord Gabriel,” who stood before him and spoke to him. (Lk 1:5-7,11-13,24) “The angel of the Lord Gabriel then appeared unto Mary, and she then ‘bore the Son of God in her womb’ and was then told thy cousin Elisabeth has conceived a son.” It then came to pass that Mary, in those days, came and greeted Elisabeth when she heard Mary's salutation; “the babe leaped in her womb and was filled with the Holy Ghost.” (Lk 1:26-27,31,35-36,41) Elisabeth was then led by the Holy Ghost, and said, “Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy (Mary's) womb.” Why is this, to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?” “Blessed is she (Elisabeth) that believed, for there shall be a ‘performance of those things’ (opening doors of her heart) which were told to her by the Lord God.” (Lk 1:41-45) The Gad-a-rens’, when they besought our Lord Jesus to depart from them, He then returned to His people, “Who were all waiting for Him.” (Lk 8:26,37,40) Lord Jesus was then called by Ja-i’-rus, who was the ruler of the synagogue, to heal his daughter. As He was going, many people also thronged Him. As they thronged Him, knowing they all touched Him around, a woman came and touched the border of the Lord Jesus’s garment. The woman, having an issue of blood for twelve years, immediately her flow of blood stopped. (Lk 8:41-44) Lord Jesus then said, “Who touched Me?” The disciples then said, “The multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, ‘Who touched thee?’” The woman then saw that she was not hidden and came to Him and declared for what cause, she had touched Him. Lord Jesus then said to her, “Daughter, be of good comfort, thy faith hath made thee whole, go in peace.” (Lk 8:45-48) This woman, from the time of our Lord Jesus, had opened the doors of her heart, who was led by the Holy Spirit of God the Father, as our Lord Jesus knew the “virtue of the Spirit” that went out of Him to this woman to bring healing and deliverance. (Lk 8:46) One having the contrite and humble spirit of discernment to open the doors to revive their heart is then being guided by the “Holy Spirit of our Lord God.” (Isa 57:15) For those who shall hearken to the voice of the Lord God, “He will lead them by the Holy Spirit,” as a woman of Canaan came out of the coast of Tyre and Si’-don and cried out unto our Lord Jesus. “Have mercy on me, O Lord thou son of David;’my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.” Lord Jesus answered her not a word, and His disciples came to Him and besought Him, saying, "Send her away, for she crieth after us." Lord Jesus then said I am not sent, but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” (Mat 15:21-24) The woman then came and worshiped Him and said, “Lord, help me,” and Jesus then said, “It is not good to take the children's bread and to cast it to the dogs.” The woman then said, "It’s true, Lord, yet the dogs eat the crumbs which fall from the Master’s table.” Lord Jesus then said, “O woman, great is thy faith, be it unto thee even as thou wilt,’ and her daughter was made whole from that very hour.” (Mat 15:25-28)
