Open the Gates

Open the Gates 

Entering through the gate is the only way to enter the land. 

This is the legal way to obtain citizenship by God’s command. 

While we fight over the border crisis in America today. 

There is a more important City to enter and there is but one way. 

I desire to be a legal citizen of God’s Kingdom on earth. 

I desire to enter through the gates and experience new birth. 

The gatekeeper holds the key to enter in. 

So I entreat and confess my total dependence in Him. 

"Open the Gates" is what many will yell, who are on the outside. 

Unlike our American borders, many will  be denied. 

Not because they are not good people and didn’t live a good life. 

But because no matter how good we are, we still need Jesus Christ. 

Jesus is the only way we can enter in through the gate. 

“No admittance” is the sign they will see, if that is their fate. 

To enter the Kingdom, we must know and understand. 

That God is the one who makes us righteous where we stand. 

Open the Gates is what they will say they are entitled to. 

Because they have a different gospel and point of view. 

For too long these usurpers have been in control of the nation’s fate,. 

They will learn when the true Kingdom is established they made a mistake. 

Open the Gates is my prayer and I hope your prayer as well. 

And to enter in is to be blessed to live and with Jesus to dwell. 

It’s a place of peace and comfort where there will be no more tears. 

The lion will dwell with the lamb and remove all our fears. 

But we need to enter in by the gate, and have a relationship with Him. 

He will do a work in our lives and forgive us of all of our sins. 

At that time He will look to us and say to those whose faith is true. 

Enter in you blessed of my Father into the inheritance prepared for you.
