For the past several months, we have been facing CLOSED DOORS! In the natural, it would appear that we chose the wrong field, and that we should pack it all in and CLOSE SHOP!!!
I've experienced at least 12 deals this year that fell apart because of change of heart by the buyer or seller. No use trying to coerce, pry, manipulate, convince, plead, preach, threaten, grab by the neck, chastise, sweet talk, or whine!! These deals went totally sour!
No need to rationalize, rehearse, retrace tracks, go figure, relive, pinpoint, blame, disdain, accuse, kick self in butt, have tantrum, or bury head in embarrassment...... THESE DOORS WERE CLOSED - NEVER TO OPEN AGAIN!
Natural humaness would cause one to crawl up into a stupor and not come out again....
If i thought that way, i would fail at being an overcomer!!! What has pulled me through is KNOWING i am NOT in charge....GOD IS! I DO NOT walk by sight.... but by FAITH!!!! The level of trust i have in GOD has me confident in HIM!!
We have been THANKING GOD FOR EVERY CLOSED DOOR!!!!! HA LE LU YAH!!!! Have YOU been experiencing closed doors???? Help me PRAISE GOD!!! GLORY!!
(In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you! 1Thes 5:18)
OK, WHY am i praising GOD for all these closed doors???? Because HIS ways are higher than mine, and HE is orchestrating my life NOT ME!! It is HIM who told me to go to Real Estate School! It is HIM who commanded me to give my license BACK to HIM! It is HIM who has the master plan for what HE wants to do with Rice Property Management & Realty.... not me!
Dearly beloved of God..... allow GOD to take the reins at this time, HE MUST finish what HE initiated! Don't you TRUST HIM?? He is the author AND the finisher of your faith! When HE comes..... will HE find faith???? Listen, EVERYTHING will change.... we may as well allow GOD to prepare us for it NOW! The industry will not stay the same - why are we looking for those old doors to open??? Refocus, stand still, listen, and hear what the Spirit of the Lord is saying... and thank HIM for every closed door!! We're not moving back.... we're moving forward!!
