Untitled Sermon (7)

How to summons the presence of God

Psalms 24:7 “Lift up your heads, O gates, and rise up, O ancient doorways, that the king of glory may enter.”

Who are the gates and who or what are the doors? Whoever or whatever it is has access to the King of Glory coming in. It seems if you can identify the gates and doors in your life, you will be able to see the Glory of God in your life.

The splendid entry here described, refers to the solemn bringing in of the ark into the tent David pitched for it, or the temple Solomon built for it. We may also apply it to the ascension of Christ into heaven, and the welcome given to him there. Our Redeemer found the gates of heaven shut, but having by his blood made atonement for sin, as one having authority, he demanded entrance. The angels were to worship him, . We may apply it to Christ’s entrance into the souls of men by his word and Spirit, that they may be his temples.

We have to identify the gates in our lives and the doors in our lives. Each one will need a lifting for the entrance of the King of Glory - Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit
