God is all-powerful.

I will put your authority in his hand, and he will be a father to the dwellers of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah.

What does the Bible say? We’ve all heard the saying, “If God closes a door, he will open a window” or “if God closes one door, He will open another”.

We see this stated in 2 Peter 3:9. Jimmying the lock or trying to break the door down won’t work.

He knows our struggles, yet He sees our faith and our efforts to keep His name.

9 Look at those who belong to the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews but are liars instead. What he opens, no one can shut; what he shuts, no one can open. Many times people make the mistake of walking in fear when it comes to missing an open door from God. 8 I know your deeds. He’s in complete control. We may not understand His reasoning, but that’s okay as long as we follow His guidance. I have put in front of you an open door that no one can shut. )

We must let Him lead. We have learned already that Christ controls the entry into the Kingdom of God. An Open Door From God Will Remain Open. This is a lie. For you have only a little strength, yet you have kept My word and have not denied My name.

God opens doors no one can shut and closes doors no one can open 22 I will place on his shoulder the key of the house of David. He has a plan for us; He actually opens doors and opportunities for us that no one can shut.

These specific phrases are not found in the Bible, (they are in fact, from the movie, The Sound of Music) but there are quite a few verses about closed doors that can be found. What He opens no one can shut, and what He shuts no one can open. Jesus holds the keys and whatever he opens and closes is simply the action of fulfilling the will of God the Father.

In this scripture, God wanted to make it clear that Jesus has the ability to open doors no one can close, and close doors no man can open. I know that you have little strength, but you have obeyed my word and have not denied my name’” (Revelation 3:7-8, emphasis mine). And that passage talks about a door that God opens which no one can shut! A Message for Shebna … 21 I will clothe him with your robe and tie your sash around him. Normally it is the last key on the ring which opens the door.” ~Paulo Coelho.

Revelation 3:8, NASB: "'I know your deeds.

When God sees you doing your part, developing what He has given you, then He will do His part and open doors that no man can shut.

“To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write the following: “This is the solemn pronouncement of the Holy One, the True One, who holds the key of David, who opens doors no one can shut, and shuts doors no one can … In verse 8 Jesus was speaking about an open door of ministry. If the door won’t open for you, then that door may not be the one God wants you to walk through. Jesus is the one “ who opens and no one will shut, who shuts and no one opens ” and sets before us “ an open door, which no one is able to shut ” (Revelation 3:8-9). See, I have placed before you an open door, which no one can shut. Every time I think of that day it gives me a lot of reassurance about who God is.
