WHAT IF GOD KNOCKED ON YOUR DOOR TONIGHT

-

 


Have you ever wondered what would happen if—right now—God Himself knocked on your front door?

Not metaphorically. Not spiritually. Physically. Tangibly. Audibly.

A knock.
A presence.
A moment you did not schedule.

Would you rush to open the door with joy—no hesitation, no second thoughts, no fear?

Or would you pause?

Would you quietly panic while mentally checking your environment?

Would you need time to hide some things… remove some things… close some tabs… delete a conversation… fold away an attitude… or rehearse a spiritual tone?

Because here’s the truth no one wants to say out loud:

Many of us want God close… but not too close.
We want His blessings, His provision, His protection—
but His inspection? His correction? His rearranging?

That’s where we hesitate.

The House of Our Hearts

In Revelation 3:20, Jesus says:

“Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in…”

Notice something powerful—
He doesn’t break the door down.
He doesn’t force Himself in.
He waits.

And perhaps the most sobering part:
Some people never open.

Not because they don’t believe in Him—
but because they’re not ready for Him.

They like the idea of God visiting,
but the reality of His presence requires vulnerability.

If God Came Unannounced…

What would He find?

Not your Sunday clothes.
Not your polished testimony.
Not your rehearsed prayers.

But the real you.

Your distractions.
Your habits.
Your hurts.
Your “I’ll deal with that later” places.

Would He find forgiveness or silent grudges?
Trust or quiet anxiety?
Worship or survival mode?
Purpose or procrastination?

Not to shame you—
but to heal you, remake you, and restore order where chaos settled in.

God Doesn’t Knock to Judge—He Knocks to Transform

If God were to knock today, it wouldn’t be because He wants to embarrass you.
He already knows what’s inside.

His knock isn’t a warning—
It’s an invitation.

He knocks because He wants to sit with you.
He knocks because He wants to help you clean, not condemn you for the mess.
He knocks because He wants access—not to your perfection—but to your truth.

So Here’s the Real Question…

Not “Are you perfect?”
Not “Is everything in order?”

But:

➡️ Are you willing to let God into the rooms you don’t show anyone?
➡️ Are you willing to stop hiding the things He already sees?
➡️ Are you willing to let Him rearrange what you’ve learned to tolerate?

Prayer

Lord, if You knock, help me open quickly—not after I’ve edited myself, but as I am.
Remove the fear of being seen.
Give me the courage to let You into the messy, private, unfiltered parts of my life.
Make my heart a place You dwell, not a place You visit.
In Jesus' name, amen.

God isn’t knocking to see if you’re ready.
He’s knocking because He’s ready.

The only question left is:

Will you open the door?

LOADED BUT NOT FIRED - IT'S TIME TO CHANGE THE ENVIRONMENT

-

  There’s a powerful truth circulating in the mental health space: "Genetics loads the gun, but environment pulls the trigger." This statement is more than a metaphor—it’s a mirror. It reflects the realities many people live with silently. Some are born with a biological predisposition toward depression, anxiety, or other mental health challenges. But it is often the environment—the chaos at home, the pressure at school, the trauma in the neighborhood, or the silence in the church—that pulls the trigger. And here’s what we must remember: We can’t always change the genes—but we can absolutely change the environment. That’s where you and I come in. Why This Matters Now We are living in a mental health crisis. Suicide rates are rising. Youth are overwhelmed. Adults are exhausted. Communities are under-supported. And too many people are still suffering in silence because they think their pain is a personal failure. But mental health is not a matter of weak will—it is often a ma...

THE CHANGING WORLD VIEW

  Have you ever felt like the world around you is shifting beneath your feet? Like the things we once called “normal” are now fragments of a memory we can barely piece together? Welcome to the world as we know it —or perhaps more accurately, the world as we knew it. From the digital explosion that lets us speak across continents in seconds to the emotional disconnect that ironically grows in an age of constant connectivity, we are living in a paradox. Technological breakthroughs are accelerating, global awareness is expanding, and yet, deep within us, many are whispering the same question: “Where is all of this really taking us?” The Speed of Change Change has always been a part of human history, but the pace today is breathless. Artificial intelligence is writing books and diagnosing diseases. Climate patterns are reshaping cities and coastlines. Identity, truth, even time itself—everything feels negotiable. What was certain yesterday becomes debatable today. But this isn’t ...
