New Winds, Keys and Doors
New Winds, Keys and Doors: What He Opens No One Can Shut and What He Shuts No One Can Open
by Barbie Breathitt
We are excited about the great effectual doors God is opening for all of us in this hour. To walk into a new door — we have to close some old doors. The Holy Spirit is creating wind drafts of change to close the doors to the past and break open the doors to our future and destiny.
God has given us new strategic keys in Matthew 16:19, “I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in Heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in Heaven.”
These keys will open new doors of anointing, blessing and increase in His Kingdom where we have never been before. The old keys only fit the old doors of the past where we have already been. The Lord told me that many people are still trying to build the “New Thing” with old keys and are stuck in traditions of how we have always done things.
Isaiah 43:18-19, “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?”
We must seek God for fresh revelation and daily manna. This is the time to ask God for spiritual eyes to see and spiritual ears to hear what the Spirit of the Lord is currently saying to His Church.
Revelation 3:7-8, “These are the words of Him who is holy and true, who holds the key of David. What He opens no one can shut, and what He shuts no one can open. I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept My word and have not denied My name.”
God knows that our flesh is weak but our spirit is willing. He has gone before us using His strength to open the doors for us. He is such a gentleman, full of honor and grace to open the doors for His Bride. We don’t have to use our strength to open the doors; He has already done that for us. All we have to do is walk through the doors, placing our confidence in His power.
Only the humble in heart will be able to bow down low enough to go through these new doors of opportunity and overcome our adversaries. 1 Corinthians 16:9, “because a great door for effective work has opened to me, and there are many who oppose me.”
There is a new release of Holy Spirit power that has come in His Kingdom to propel us to a higher level. Our faith is being tested in the fire. If we continue to persevere, we will be found to be strong because we chose to believe His Word.
A Group of Eagles
Recently I saw a vision of a group of eagles. Each one was flying in perfect precision and rank in a “V” formation through the heavenlies. They were unified on a mission to bring the harvest into God’s Kingdom.
Then I saw the Spirit of the Lord come underneath the team of eagles in the form of a huge, Mighty Eagle. His magnificent wing spread far and outreached that of the team of flying eagles. They could easily rest upon His strong pinions as He carried them.
Suddenly, the Lord quickly accelerated and moved in front of the “V” formation of eagles. I saw Newton’s law of lift take place. His law states, “That every object persists in its state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed upon it.”
We will continue moving in a straight line at the same level unless there is a greater force that comes to alter our path or patterns. As the breath of the Spirit came, it created an updraft that lifted the whole team to a new level of anointing and breakthrough. The large Eagle continued to soar high above and in front of the team of eagles drawing them higher and higher.
The Scripture Deuteronomy 33:27 came to me: “The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms. He will drive out your enemy before you, saying, ‘Destroy him!'”
The Lord has gone out before us to destroy our enemies so we can soar through the heavenly doors and gates He is opening for us. All we have to do is learn to flow in the draft His Spirit is creating. Then the Holy Spirit gave me several more encouraging Scriptures that go along with this vision.
First, He spoke Psalm 90:16-17, “Let Your work appear to Your servants, and Your glory to their children. And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us, and establish the work of our hands for us; yes, establish the work of our hands.”
I asked the Lord when He was going to cause His works to appear again. He replied with a question: “When are you going to do them?”
The Lord is getting ready to release some of His “greater works” upon His servants that are walking with Him in humility and have a pure heart. He wants us to trust Him on a new level. Prepare your hearts to receive a new wave of power that will sweep over you.
He also gave me Psalm 91:1-4: “He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in Him I will trust.’
“Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the perilous pestilence. He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler.”
We must learn to dwell in the secret place of His presence so we remain covered by His wings. This huge Eagle was leading the way and His wings were covering us. The Lord is going to demonstrate His intentions in this hour to bring you into alignment with your destiny and greater purpose.
Set Your Heart to See and Understand
The Lord is encouraging us to listen to the sound of the Holy Spirit’s wind of change as His still small voice whispers a new direction. Anticipate the winds of change. Renew yourself in faith and rise up in victory. These God-directed changes will enable you to take a turn for the better and leave past troubles behind. You have been in a preparation process to receive the love of the Lord in a new way.
1 Corinthians 2:9-10, “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love Him but God has revealed it to us by His Spirit…”
The Spirit of the Lord has been searching the deep things of God to reveal them to His friends. Set your heart to see and understand. He will begin to put all the pieces of your life together so you can see the big picture from His prospective.
The time to receive mantles like Katherine Kuhlman, Aimee Semple McPherson, John G. Lake, Jack Coe, William Branham and others has come! Ask the Lord to take you to higher heights to receive these heavenly mantles.
With this accelerated speed we will be able to overtake the plowman and expedite the harvest. Amos 9:13-14, “‘The days are coming,’ declares the LORD, ‘when the reaper will be overtaken by the plowman and the planter by the one treading grapes. New wine will drip from the mountains and flow from all the hills. I will bring back My exiled people Israel; they will rebuild the ruined cities and live in them. They will plant vineyards and drink their wine; they will make gardens and eat their fruit.'”
God is moving to establish His Kingdom in our lives.
God’s breath to you,
