“He that hath the key...he openeth...” How frustrating to be locked in a room; and how exciting to hear a key turn and the door open! Jesus has the master key; in fact, He is the Master Key. He can open any and all situations that have locked us in, and that keep us from being or doing what He has planned for us. We are told that He can open hearts (Lydia); understanding (the Ephesians); eyes (Bartimaeus); the Scriptures (the Emmaus believers); and Heaven itself (John the Beloved). There is absolutely nothing closed to Him that He cannot open.
He has keys on His side (availability); He can open at random. He carries a key on His shoulders (strength); it’s His burden to see things open up, not ours. The Philadelphian believers were not strong, but they were faithful.
Some of us feel chained to something, and that iron bars are keeping us in an undesirable situation. Take heart, imprisoned saint; after prayer was made, it says of Peter in prison, “...his chains fell off...” and “...the iron gate opened to them of his own accord.” “It is no secret what God can do; what He’s done for others, He’ll do for you.”
When God opened the prison doors for Peter, Peter was resting,not restless. (RDS)
