A Word for 2024: A Wide Open Door!
My Word for 2024.
I was sitting and pondering what The LORD would say today, and especially for the New Year ahead, and I heard, “2024, the year of the WIDE Open Door!”
And I am thinking, “oh no, everyone is going to say that because it rhymes!” LOL.
But I felt The LORD sort of chuckling with me, for He is never adverse to things that catch His Children’s attention and help them to remember what He has said!
And He gave me 1 Corinthians 16:9 where Paul writes,
“For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries.”
Ohhh. I see it now. There may have been doors that opened for you and you were about to step through and then suddenly, the enemy was waiting to derail your plans, to keep you from entering.
But know this, Beloved of God. GREATER is He who is in you than he who is in the world.
Though the enemy may delay you and frustrate you and detour you, God will always bring you back on course.
Jesus lives in us by His Spirit so He is always guiding our feet and our steps . He is the One who shuts and no one may open and opens that none may shut.
And I see this in a Vision, I see Jesus scooping up the Warrior Bride of Christ and carrying her over the Threshold into the Next Season.
For when you cannot step through the Door yourself because the enemy is fighting so hard against you, the Spirit of The LORD shall LIFT up a standard against him and sweep you through to Victory!
Also, today is December 13th. The LORD had me look up the number 13. A number meaning “under Grace” and not under the law.
When Abraham received his promise he was 86. He tried to make it happen himself and failed — but he received his promise of Isaac at age 99.
Thirteen (13) years between the Promise given and the Promise manifested!
The Number Thirteen (13) Promise is a “two-fold” promise.
- It always involves man and it always involves God.
- It always has seasons, times and circumstances in which God and man participate.
The number “13” does not mean “evil,” but rather it is a most powerful God-given promise that will change the world for ever.
Some of the aspects of the promise are:
- The promise is always initiated by God and destined to change the world forever.
- Concerning man, to obtain the promise is beyond hope — impossible!
- Concerning God, the chosen opportunity to manifest His plan of blessing and change.
- The number 13 promise always has an underlying knowing that man can’t make it happen himself.
- The number 13 always has the underlying fact that God determined it, said it, and it would happen regardless of the circumstances. Amen! (Pastor Stephen Gola)
“Beloved, I see your heart and I know your desires.
I have set before you an Open Door. It is wide open, My Child, and no one can shut it.
I AM the Door, Beloved, and only I hold the Master Key.
Though you have little strength left, you have kept My Word and you have not denied My Name.
Remain steadfast. The Holy Spirit is with you and in you. Whom shall you fear?
The fires of adversity coming against you is proof that the enemies of your God are alarmed, and that The Kingdom of God is advancing!
Yes, My Warrior! Where great good is, evil is sure to show up as your antagonist.
For the spirit of Antichrist is in the world, but FEAR NOT, you are of God, My Little Child, and you have overcome them: because greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world!
The opposition has been great against you. I know it has been hard. This is not a time to quit, Dear One, but to persevere in faith. Here is My Promise. Grace had saved you and Grace shall carry you through.
For when you cannot walk another step and your strength has left you, I will be your Strength.
My Strength is made perfect in your weakness. I AM breathing NEW LIFE into you!
When the enemy comes in, like a RUSHING VIOLENT RIVER, the Breath of your God shall put him to flight!
It is the Time of the REVIVAL of My Bride. For I AM your Help and in the Shadow of My Wings you shall sing for joy. Your soul clings to Me and My Right Hand upholds you.
You belong to Me. The Bride belongs to the Bridegroom. You have My Word on that, Beloved.
I have opened the Door WIDE and none may shut it. I AM Your Bridegroom who sweeps you off your feet and carries you over the Threshold and into the Land of Victory!”

Thank you for delivering this word. Had a dream of myself as a Bride and a key. After prayer and sorting out the parts to the dream, I asked the Lord has anyone received a word this year that has the depth of His heart, for many can read a prophetic word and agree, but when the principal of thoughts flow like you gave in this word it all made sense. This is a time of great changes in my life ( I was thinking of retiring in the month of January 2004}I literally was in my office and my boss said there was going to be changes and I thought (Revelation 3:8}every one of these scriptures have deep meaning, power and for a time such as this!! Not only personally but for His bride “AN AWAKING FOR HIS BRIDE IN COMPLACEMENT”
Thank you for sharing this message – This is my life right now…new job…oppression….thank you for these words of life!
Yes, thank you Prophetess Deborah; I agree with Rose and Karlene’s comments to what the LORD has provided through you. Thank you for your endurance and perseverance. It is not easy!
Yes, I am to the point that I will have to be carried through! I have been in this fight, and I have become very weary. My eyes still look for the Lord.
Prophetess Deborah, God has a way of speaking so plain, so strategically through you to me. To explain some things I have been pondering and at the same time confirming what I have been seeing or hearing. It is also always so timely. This is one of them. God continue to spesk through you powerfully, therby building up the body of Christ, as you avsil yourself to Him. Love and blessings.
Such a beautiful message filled with hope and encouragement. Thank you.
