“But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:”
King James Version (KJV)

Hi Wesley.
Please be a little more specific.
If only God can open and close doors,
after you walk through the threshold how are YOU going to close it?
Please elaborate a little more.
Thanks.
Wesley Smith's comment on 2021-06-27 09:09:43:
It's said that God closes doors no man can open and opens doors no man can close.
The question I propose is this. When you are given an open door and you go through, after you cross the threshold is it your responsibility to close that door behind you?

for God to give us the right to become his children is a great previlage that only comes through God 's grace and this right means the power has been given nothing will ever be impossible for those given the right for by just calling on the name of Jesus all things are made available

A TIME THERE WAS WHEN I AND MY WERE FOLLOWING EACH OTHER. THAT DID NOT MAKE US HUSBAND AND WIFE BUT THE DAY I PAID HER DOWRY SHE HAD THE RIGHT AND BOLDNESS TO ANSWERS MY NAME, AND BE CALLED MY WIFE THAT WAS THE DAY SHE HAS THE POWER TO BE MY WIFE BEFORE MAN AND GOD SO IT IS WHEN YOU RECEIVE JESUS INTO YOUR LIFE

One amazing thing I 've come to discover about God is that He has a blessing attached to every command or instruction, here or hereafter. It takes the Grace of God to really believe on His name...it 's not about human knowledge and philosophy. May God give us that GRACE to wholly Believe and as well Receive HIM...for RECEIVING starts with BELIEVING.

Jesus has given us the power to become what Heaven has ordained us to be. That means no more limitation. Nothing can limit us as long as we know who we are in Christ. We have being given power. Thank you Jesus.

As the word tells us it is only by the Holy Spirit that we are able to profess Christ as Son of God it s not a human confession but only at the point that the power of God reveals this truth and empowers us to receive it in our hearts Then and only then out of the abundance of the heart with the mouth confession take place

I heard this Jn 1:12 many times unblessed, but today I got blessed in a special way. Jn 1:12 says since Salvation in us lives Jesus Christ, whom when God want to bless first chech if indeed Jesus Christ in me, should he find Him in you He empowers you to subdue or take full control of all powers on earth, it may be academic power, business, marital, witchcraft, devil whoshiping, setbacks or any other sphere, all are under your control, ever joy is your part in the name of Jesus. Amen.

only power in the blood of the Lamb can make you a son
John N.'s comment on 2013-10-04 08:53:16:
As many as received Christ, He doesn't make them sons but makes power available to them to become sons that means when we receive Christ we don't become sons immediately but Children it is now left for one to harness the power which is embedded in the Holy Ghost, made available by the reception of Christ, to become sons

david's comment on 2012-09-29 12:02:13:
By receiving you have now what did not belong to you to be yours. Receiving Christ who is the Son of God in you, also makes you like him and that makes the Father to see his son in you, and this now gives a right to be son through Jesus, the son who is the image of GOD TURNS YOU ALSO TO BE IN THE IMAGE OF GOD AS NOW GOD SEES HIS SON IN YOU.
