Opening up doors that no Man can shut!

Are you the person that everyone sees as loud and obnoxious? No matter how good your intentions are people are easily convinced otherwise? Or maybe every time a situation erupts people automatically assume you were the mastermind behind it all? Well, if your answer my questions were yes, it is not a coincidence that you’re going through your house of terror right now, and behind every door lurks the same enemy just a different storm. But, I am writing today to tell you that you are not alone. 

Scenario 

There is a conflict amongst two coworkers within the Department of Global Development:

Team A and Team B were given projects to fulfill by months end. Amber was appointed Subject Matter Expert (SME) for team A, and Terry was the SME for Team B. Bridgett a highly qualified Specialist in the department was selected to be part of the project, and she was placed on Team A. When Amber received the rooster for her team; she was upset when she discovered that Bridgett was part of the project not to mention a part of her team. So, she quickly launched a plan to eliminate Bridgett (Operation Destroy Bridgett), and the lying and manipulation began. Amber sat down with upper management to allocate every team member a job function within the project. And, of course she assigned Bridgett to take on what she thought would be the most difficult task of all. She implemented obstacles that would have a negative impact on Bridgett’s performance. After while Amber began to tear Bridgett down, while Bridgett was assisting her with task outside of her role to help build her up.

Becoming aware of the Issue

Once Bridgett became aware of what Amber was doing she reported her to upper management. And, she started speaking up whenever she recognized that Amber was trying to sabotage her work. Amber never became confrontational, and she held her composure while amongst others in the department. But meanwhile, Amber was still doing everything that she could to ruin Bridgett behind closed doors with the power of the pen. Bridgett started to be viewed by management as insubordinate and a complainer. After receiving wise spiritual counsel, Bridgett had a better understanding of what the enemy was trying to do. So she was determined now more than ever that she had to be the light in the midst of darkness.  

Resolve

Bridgett made the decision to no longer do Amber’s work and Amber's work performance suffered. The findings and error rates from Amber’s audits reflected that. But, no matter what Amber tried to do to cover up her inability to do her own job, the weekly reports told the truth. And eventually all of the underhanded tactics that Amber was using against Bridgett as well as other staff was unveiled; and she was terminated from the company. Bridgett also moved on to a better career opportunity. This is a true story, but some of the names and details have been altered, but I stand with a spirit of boldness when I tell you that God can turn any situation around in your favor. He can open up doors that no man can shut, and the doors He opens no man will be able to shut it!

Enter into Prayer 

I pray for everyone who is going through their own storms, and it feels like the enemy is lurking behind every door. My prayer is that you will relinquish your entitlement to resolving your own problems, and allow God to do the work. I declare not in your own strength, but in His. You will allow The Father to show you that He is still The God that sits on High and rules down low. That He is able to remove people, places, and things that would be a hindrance to His people in the Kingdom. And, that He will direct your steps and that you would enter into the soundest peace. I pray that your soul will find comfort in the midst of the storm and that you walk by faith and not by sight. I claim that it is already getting better; The Father is already moving on your behalf in Jesus name I pray. Amen!!
