Let’s close the door. If your mind has doors that open and shut to certain thoughts, can you close the doors? What are the doors to your mind? How do thoughts from outside come in? Observe a few of your thoughts that have taken up space and time in your mind. What are they? Where do you think they came from? Are they disturbing your peace? Are they trustworthy? How can you close the door that allows them to enter? How can you prevent them from entering again? Are the unwanted thoughts powerful? When you try to make them leave, do they leave? Do you feel helpless? Are you a prisoner? Would you like to have a powerful thought-gun that can shoot them down? If you had a thought-gun, would you use it? If you had a thought-gun, which thoughts would you shoot down? If those thoughts were gone, how would you feel? Do you still have a will? An ability to choose what you want to think about? Can you use your will to pull the trigger of a thought gun? Or do you like being in a boat with no oars or any way to paddle? Is it time to take over the direction of your thoughts? Is it time to close the doors to the sources of the unwanted thoughts? Do you have a Friend who will let you use His Thought-gun? Is this Friend more powerful than the sources of the unwanted thoughts? Does His Name have authority over everything? Does the sound of His Name make the sources of the unwanted thoughts run away? Is His Name the thought-gun that you need? Are you ready to try it? Notice an unwanted feeling or thought. Fire the Thought-Gun at it. JESUS! JESUS! JESUS! What happened? Take back the oars of the boat. They belong to you. They were stolen. Take them back. Use them. You are not a prisoner. You have the keys! Use them to get out of the prison inside. JESUS! JESUS! JESUS! You are not a slave of fear. Fire the Gun! JESUS! JESUS! JESUS! You are not dominated by anger. You can have peace. Fire the Gun! JESUS! JESUS! JESUS! Are you ready to open the Door for Light to come in? Does light make you feel better? Does light keep you from stumbling and falling down? Does light take away dark places? Do you want Light instead of darkness? Do you want Light inside of your mind? Does peace and help with your life come from the Light? How deep can the Light go? Will it fill every crack? Will it be pleasant? Will it be healing? Will it make life worth living? What is this Light? Is it alive? Is it powerful? Is it powerful enough for you and your life? Can the Light of the World fill you with living Light? What does it feel like to have Living Light inside of you? Will you think differently? Will you see more? Will you understand more? Will you be depressed or afraid? Will you be a prisoner of dark desires? Does real Light bring freedom and joy? Do you want living Light inside? When you are ready to exchange the inside darkness for Light, use your will to make the decision. You have the key to open the Door of Light. He is the Friend Who let you borrow His gun. Ask Him to open the Door so His Light will come in. Jesus is the Door that you want to be opened. You already know what it’s like for doors of darkness to be opened. JESUS! JESUS! JESUS! John 1:1 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life,a and the life was the light of men. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. 9 The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world. 14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. John 3:19 And this is the verdict: The Light has come into the world, but men loved the darkness rather than the Light because their deeds were evil. John 8:12 Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” 1John 1:5 This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 1 Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.
