The Gate Called Wait

Doug Addison, a prophetic voice out of California released a blog and said, we are at the gate called wait. When I read that my spirit leaped, for I had felt like I missed something when we crossed over into 5778, the year of the open door. I checked my heart, asked my confidants and mentors to inspect me and I laid out before God, but all I kept hearing is “not everyone is here yet, just wait”. Being concerned I can say what I want to hear, I struggled for almost a whole month, but then this word came forth, that we are at the gate called wait. I knew this was true, for that is what God told me and I am confident many of you are exhaling like I did saying, yes, that is where we are.

After I rested into this word that we are at the gate called wait, God spoke to me and said, “Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory”. I tried to remember the details of the movie, but knew I would not obtain the prophetic significance of it without watching the movie. So, off to the Thrift Store I go, and sure enough there is an original copy of the movie, not the Johnny Depp version. I come home and watch the movie and what I learned expanded my understanding of this gate called wait. The first wait in the movie is waiting for all 5 golden tickets to be found, we know 5 means grace. That means we had to wait for the grace upon people to run its course before we could meet at the gate of the “kingdom”, which opened in the movie on October 1 at 10am.

This of course caused me to leap, because we entered the through the open door late September and October 1 was a significant date for many of us. I know I personally had a showdown come to completion on that date this year and had a miracle happen that week, so for me that date was more confirmation that we are at the gate called wait. Then the 5 children and their one family member enter in, not knowing what they will see and the first place they go is through a very narrow door, again very biblical, we must enter through the narrow gate that leads to life (Matthew 7:13). Once through the door, they see the kingdom, but as they are going through the tour of the kingdom, the issue the children came in with, hooks them in the kingdom and they have to go through a process to remove that issue from them. One fell in the chocolate river and he loved to eat, another was addicted to chewing gum and she blew up like a blueberry, you get the point.

Even though we are in the gate of the kingdom, now that we are in there, God is removing from us the issues that plagued us before we entered. So, we are waiting because He is wanting to remove the issue that will hook us if not removed. For 4 of the 5 children, they got hooked and could not complete the tour. But one boy, though hooked in the carbonated room, burped and came back into the tour. By the end of the tour, only one boy, name Charlie (means man of God) and his grandpa Joseph (means blessing (Genesis 49:25-26), finish the tour and want their reward, but Willie Wonka sitting as his desk reminds them that they broke the contract by drinking of the carbonated beverage. Angry Charlie and Joseph are about to leave, but before they do, Charlie puts the everlasting gobstopper on the desk of Willie Wonka. Remember the man that was Wonka’s rival, wanted that gobstopper and they would be paid handsomely for it. But, Charlie gave it back and in that moment said, I want nothing from you Wonka.

The movie ends with Wonka saying to Charlie, “you passed the test! The whole kingdom belongs to you!” Charlie was stunned, then the supposed rival who wanted the everlasting gobstopper recipe actually worked for Wonka, for Wonka wanted to know who he could give the kingdom to, that would run it the way he does with integrity. Oh it is powerful, prophetic and explains even further why we are at the gate called wait. God is testing us to find out if we want Him or money, ministry, something else. When everyone makes their decision about what they want, the gate will open and we will go in lay it all at His feet and say, all I want is you. Once we get there, the wait will be over and He will give us the kingdom. For it is the Father’s good pleasure to give us the kingdom (Luke 12:32).

The gate called wait is where we are right now, but it is not where we are going to be for much longer, my heart is crying out for Him, not ministry, not money, not anything else. He is who I want. He is teaching us that He is the reward, He is the destination, He is the promotion, He is the provision, He is everything we long for. When we are secure there, He will give us the kingdom, for it will not be about anything but Him, our cry will be like David’s when we say, I would rather be a doorkeeper in the House of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked. It really is all about a Man, named Yeshua, He is what we really want and we are the gate called wait, until we are rid of every other want. He truly is in the waiting (Kristi DeMarco).

Knock Knock

Knock, knock…who’s there? …Peter…Peter who? Peter who you are praying will be released from jail, that’s who.

Prayer without eyes wide open is going to release answers that we will miss, delay or forget about because we don’t recognize prayer has the power to release that which we are praying for. We have houses of prayer, churches that pray, Pastors and leaders that pray, but when the answer comes knocking, those same people that are praying can’t see, can’t hear, and many don’t believe their prayers are being answered. For some it is as though prayer has become another program that we do, even if we do it 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. Prayer is not a program, it is a connection with a king, it is an access point to an answer, it is an invitation into revelation. The church is praying, but most are not believing, because the answer is knocking on the door, sitting in the pew, or speaking on Facebook, but the church doesn’t believe it.

Acts 12:12-16a “Peter went to the house of Mary the mother of John, also called Mark, where many people had gathered and were praying. Peter knocked at the outer entrance, and a servant named Rhoda came to answer the door. When she recognized Peter’s voice, she was so overjoyed she ran back without opening it and exclaimed, “Peter is at the door!”  “You’re out of your mind,” they told her. When she kept insisting that it was so, they said, “It must be his angel.” But Peter kept on knocking…”

Having lived in Malaysia for 9 years, I can picture this scene. Houses in Malaysia have gates to outer courtyards, then there is the house with the door to the house. They typically do not have door bells as many Westerners are accustomed to, so the people at the gate, either call with their voice to announce they are there or they grab a rock off the ground and tap the gate, therefore, the one in the house knows someone is at the gate. Then they usually, send out the house maid, to answer or check to see who is at the gate. When Rhoda heard someone at the gate she went out to check and it was Peter, but the church inside was praying and didn’t believe her. This scene is very common in Malaysia.

The reality of this story is very relevant for our generation. The Lord has released Peters (apostles) from prisons, from hiding, from the secret places and they are knocking on church doors, sitting in church sanctuaries, and but the church doesn’t believe their prayers are being answered for help from heaven. It is like we love praying more than we love the answer to prayer God sends, because it may not be in the package, gender, color, or style we are wanting. Unfortunately, the church in their unbelief keep praying, but God continues to press through the servants in the house saying, the Peter’s (apostles) are at the door. Your prayers are answered.

Apostles, prophets and others that know they have been sent by God to a church, a ministry or a city, must exercise great patience, for God sent them there to help, but the help has been rejected, not because they are rejecting you, but because of their unbelief. You see, unbelief blinds us to the truth that is knocking on the door, standing at the gate, coming through a servant who we think doesn’t know anything. Unbelief is subtle, but dangerous. This is why Jesus said to church people, repent for the kingdom of heaven is here. They were praying for Messiah to come and now He was there, but they could not see Him, hear Him, accept Him, because they were praying but in unbelief.

In Revelation 3 we hear the words of Jesus saying, behold I stand at the door and knock, many have taught this as an evangelistic message, but it is a message to the church, Jesus, Peters, people are standing at the door and knocking, they are coming as an answer to your prayers, but you must open the door and let them in. They are God’s answers to your prayers. Now my prayer is that the unbelief will be replaced with faith, that blindness will bow to sight and that deafness will be broken by the sound of salvation that is being released in this generation. Can you hear it…knock knock.
