The Doorkeeper - Or Keeper Of The Door

Psa. 84:10 "For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand.
I would rather *be a doorkeeper (stand at the threshold)
in the house of my God
Than dwell in the tents of wickedness."
Jer. 35:4 "and I brought them into the house of the Lord, into the chamber of the sons of Hanan the son of Igdaliah, a man of God, which was by the chamber of the princes, above the chamber of Maaseiah the son of Shallum, the keeper of the *door (Lit. threshold)."
John 10:1-5 "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. Yet they will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers."

BibleNote: This is why when I became a Christian I would not read anything but the Bible at first. I wanted to know about God, and the only way to do that is to stay in His Word daily.
John 18:16 "But Peter stood at the door outside. Then the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to her who kept the door, and brought Peter in."
BibleNote: I was saved through a very hostile situation, and desperately wanted to help other people avoid the same problems. I foolishly went to have my cards read. As I grew in the Lord, and realized how wrong this was, God mercifully led me to a person gifted in deliverance.
See (God Delivers From Divination)
I had picked up an oppressive doorkeeper that went from youngest daughter to youngest daughter. I knew it had to start from me because my mother was an oldest daughter. Upon repenting both my daughter and I were set free - in Jesus' name!
