Glorify His Goodness
Steeped in the Word
August 30, 2025 – 08/30/2025
8 – New Beginnings
30 – Acts of Redemption & Accomplishing Priestly Service
And having chosen them, he called them to come to him. And having called them, he gave them right standing with himself. And having given them right standing, he gave them his glory. Romans 8:30 NLT
Glorify His Goodness\nPortraying the Lord\u2019s glory as something shameful is a huge problem in our society. The Bible warns us to be careful not to call evil \u201cgood\u201d and good \u201cevil.\u201d\n
\u201cHow long, O you sons of men, will you turn my glory to shame? How long will you love worthlessness and seek falsehood?\u201d \u2013 Psalm 4:2-3\n
You don\u2019t call worthless things glorious and shameful things wonderful without God saying, \u201cReally?\u201d You lose your value for goodness if you don\u2019t care about what is real or true. Be on guard in these final days, because under the disguise of political correctness, good is being called evil in popular culture and the headlines every day.\n
Rioters who place one race above others are lauded. Choosing the clothing and bathroom one \u201cidentifies with\u201d is considered courageous, and killing an unborn baby is a protected \u201cchoice.\u201d In the world of political correctness, equality is all that matters. To disagree with the world, you will be called evil, unloving, and ultimately, un-Christian.\n
The world says Jesus wanted all to be equal; therefore, they are doing what Jesus would do. Hogwash!\u00a0 Allow the Holy Spirit to guide you and give you the boldness to draw the line. Speak the truth and bring glory to God.\n
We are not created equal, just ask the ugly when they look at the beautiful, or the poor when they see the rich. If you\u2019re going to survive this wave of political correctness, understand that life is not fair!\n
Read the Psalms. They are a testimony to how unfair this fallen world really is.\n
The only place things are fair, equal, and right is in Heaven when we become like Christ. Until then, keep testifying to a dying world that Jesus is the answer and He is good!","hover":"\nWhich Wolf Do You Feed?\n
Jesus-driven thinking helps and heals. This is what the Bible has to say on the subject: For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. \u2013 Romans 8:6\n
The Cherokee nation knew it, too. Check out this spot-on tribal tale:\n
An old Cherokee chief was teaching his grandson about life. He told the boy, \u201cA terrible fight is going on inside me. It is a fight between two wolves. One wolf is evil. He is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and self-doubt.\"\n
The old man continued: \u201cThe other wolf is good. He is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.\u201d He then told the boy, \u201cThis same fight is going on inside you and inside every other person, too.\u201d\n
The grandson thought about it for a minute, then asked his grandfather, \u201cWhich wolf will win?\u201d The wise old chief replied, \u201cThe one you feed.\u201d\n
What wolf have you been feeding? Just know the wolf of evil thoughts will eventually devour you, and likely others as well. Thoughts become actions, and there is always collateral damage.\n
That\u2019s not you! You can control your thought life and ensure the evil wolf starves to death."}},"slug":"et_pb_blurb"}">Glorify His Goodness
Portraying the Lord’s glory as something shameful is a huge problem in our society. The Bible warns us to be careful not to call evil “good” and good “evil.”
“How long, O you sons of men, will you turn my glory to shame? How long will you love worthlessness and seek falsehood?” – Psalm 4:2-3
You don’t call worthless things glorious and shameful things wonderful without God saying, “Really?” You lose your value for goodness if you don’t care about what is real or true.

Grounded in FaithDeclare!The world does not draw me into the lies and labels used in the culture around me. I have been set free from all of that. My eyes and ears are focused on the Word and the Ways of Jesus. He is in me and with me, so I bring His Kingdom into the world and refuse to let the world get into me. There is nothing worth stepping out of the identity He has given me. Holy Spirit gives me the boldness to live a life of Truth.

Freeze That Thought
Steeped in the Word
August 29, 2025 – 08/29/2025
8 – New Beginnings
29 – Mountains
For Jesus had already commanded the evil spirit to come out of him. This spirit had often taken control of the man. Even when he was placed under guard and put in chains and shackles, he simply broke them and rushed out into the wilderness, completely under the demon’s power. Luke 8:29 NLT
Freeze That Thought\nThere is a spiritual and mental exercise I call \u201cbrain freeze.\u201d Brain freeze is when you stop a thought dead in its tracks before it becomes something else. Why? Because your thoughts become feelings, and your feelings generally become your actions. Thinking negative thoughts? Your feelings and actions will reflect that.\n
Have you ever prepared for an argument before it happened? I know I\u2019ve rehearsed in my mind what I would say if the opportunity arose to tell off my boss or someone else who had offended me. I was going to give that person a \u201cpiece of my mind.\u201d\n
The next thing I knew, that conversation became reality, and it didn\u2019t go well for me. Why? Because I made that argument happen \u2013 an argument I should have never had.\u00a0 You can also think of it this way: God has drawn a line in the sand and called it \u201csin.\u201d You and I tend to get as close to that line as we can, often putting our toes right on it while we say, \u201cI\u2019m not sinning yet. I\u2019m good.\u201d The question that needs to be asked is, \u201cWhy am I even close to the line? Why aren\u2019t I a mile away from it?\u201d\n
It\u2019s like that with your thoughts. You take them right up to the line where they become actions, then act all shocked and shaken that you\u2019ve crossed that line.\n
\u201cCasting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ\u201d 2 Corinthians 10:5\n
Next time you start imagining a scenario or practicing the words you\u2019ll say in a confrontation, brain freeze! Take that thought captive and cast it down.","hover":"\nWhich Wolf Do You Feed?\n

Grounded in FaithDeclare!Every time I let go of offenses and offer up forgiveness, I feel free and lighter. I have freedom when I stop talking about what happened and start meditating on what God says. I want to reflect Jesus with all my life. I practice Pastor Troy’s brain freeze method. I freeze the condemning, judgmental thoughts before they come into my mind and choose to see it all the way Jesus sees it – with mercy, grace, and love.

Time to Build with Him
Steeped in the Word
August 28, 2025 – 08/28/2025
8 – New Beginnings
28 – Times and Seasons
So Jesus said, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man on the cross, then you will understand that I am he. I do nothing on my own but say only what the Father taught me. John 8:28 NLT
Time to Build with Him\nAs a pastor, the most important job I have is to be the architect of the culture of the house. To make sure the way we do things and relate to each other looks more like Heaven than hell.\n
We make a big deal out of serving the poor, even if they will never come to our church. We make a big deal out of healing, hearing the voice of God, and prophetic things. Relationships and kindness are also big deals to us here at OpenDoor.\n
You see, if our culture is toxic, it doesn\u2019t matter how much I know about the Bible, how good a preacher I am, or that I give a salvation call every Sunday.\n
I don\u2019t believe God moves through a church service. I think God moves through the relationships of the people within the church service. We can\u2019t give the atmosphere to the enemy; he desperately wants it!\n
\u201c\u2026in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience\u2026\u201d Ephesians 2:2\n
Satan is called the \u201cprince of the power of the air\u201d for a reason. He wants to control the atmosphere and fill it with anger, discord, disobedience, and lies so he can raise up a mob to crush you. That\u2019s why Jesus is called the \u201cPrince of Peace.\u201d If you want the Prince of Peace to show up in the midst of your mess, do this:\n
\u201cFinally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy\u2014meditate on these things. The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.\u201d\u2013 Philippians 4:8-9\n
If you want to change the atmosphere, change your thinking. Think on Godly things and be the architect of your house, your office, car, marriage, friendships \u2013 your everything!","hover":"\nWhich Wolf Do You Feed?\n

Grounded in FaithDeclare!Jesus said, “My peace I leave with you,” and I believe Him. He has given me access to His “peace that passes all understanding.” Every time I pray with thanksgiving, I get peace. I am diligent to contend for my faith and the joy of my salvation. It is the only way I want to live, so I focus on things above and let go of things below.

Hanging Shingles and Helping Souls
Steeped in the Word
August 27, 2025 – 08/27/2025
8 – New Beginnings
27 – Things Revealed & Unveiled in God’s Presence and Light of Truth
And the Father who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God’s own will. Romans 8:27 NLT
Hanging Shingles and Helping Souls\n\n
There\u2019s no way I would ever have signed up to be a pastor. I was going to be a professional musician, tour the world, have lots of fans, and live big. God knew my plan, and He knew it was going to take a bit of bait and switch to get me with His program. This is why I call Him \u201cJehovah Sneaky.\u201d\n
It all started with an 80-year-old man putting new shingles on his lady friend\u2019s leaky roof. He only had the strength to climb the roof with a single shingle each day. He would nail it down, rest, then climb down. It was all he could do.\n
My father-in-law saw this and decided I needed to climb that roof and help that old man get the job done. Still wanting to impress my beautiful bride\u2019s daddy, I got to work.\n
When I finished, the old lady offered me a glass of lemonade to thank me. Leanna had come over, so we went inside. When she opened her refrigerator, lemonade was about all she had. Leanna made a run for the store and we filled her fridge and cupboards.\n
The old lady was thankful; the old man wasn\u2019t. \u201cWhat about me? I need food too,\u201d he said, noting several of his friends needed groceries too. Leanna and I loaded up the back of my truck with bread and other essentials and took them back on Saturday, thinking five or six people would show up. He brought over 30 elderly people.\n
Within a few months, we were visiting over 70 houses every weekend to deliver food and pray with the people we were blessing. It was the start of the OpenDoor Food Bank, which was the start of OpenDoor Church as we know it.\n
God knew I wouldn\u2019t sign up to be a pastor, but I\u2019d say yes to helping a hungry neighbor. Now, the food bank feeds thousands of people, and our church blesses even more. I\u2019d say that\u2019s a miracle on a hot tin roof, wouldn\u2019t you?\n
What is God\u2019s plan for you? Have you been running from a blessing? Stop!\u00a0","hover":"\nWhich Wolf Do You Feed?\n

Follow Me to the End
Steeped in the Word
August 26, 2025 – 08/26/2025
8 – New Beginnings
26 – Beloved
Jesus responded, “Why are you afraid? You have so little faith!” Then he got up and rebuked the wind and waves, and suddenly there was a great calm. Matthew 8:26 NLT
Follow Me to the End\nI love the end of the book of John. We get to listen to a very personal conversation between the resurrected hero of the universe and one of the recently restored heroes of the fledgling church.\n
Jesus asks Peter the same question three times. \u201cPeter, do you love me?\u201d Peter begins to wonder what he should know that only the Lord Himself knows.\n
\u201c\u2026 and Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, \u201cDo you love Me?\u201d And he said to Him, \u201cLord, You know all things. You know that I love you.\u201d Jesus said to him, \u201cFeed my sheep.\u201d\u00a0 John 21:17\n
Everybody preaches on the beauty of that message and forgets what comes next. All of a sudden, Jesus turns to Peter and says, \u201cLet me tell you something else I know\u2026\u201d Where this conversation goes is outright glorious.\n
\u201cMost assuredly I say to you, when you were younger, you girded yourself and walked where you wished; but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will gird you and carry you where you do not wish. This He spoke, signifying by what death he would glorify God.\u00a0 And when He had spoken this, He said to him, \u201cFollow me.\u201d\u00a0 John 21:18-19\n
Did you catch it? Jesus turns to Peter and says, \u201cYou are going to finish really well.\u201d Famous for denying Christ three times, Peter had a history of cussing like the sailor he was and being unpredictable when overwhelmed.\n
Knowing this, Jesus personally encouraged him by letting him know how his big finish would go. \u201c\u2026Peter, you are going places you never would have gone before. I know how you finish, and it\u2019s all going to glorify me.\u201d Pastor Troy Version\n
I bet if you listen closely, you\u2019ll hear Jesus tell you the same. I bet if you walk close to Jesus, separate from the crowds, letting Him deal with you however He wants to, you would hear something like, \u201cI\u2019ve seen how you finish and it\u2019s just plain glorious!\u201d\n
Want a glorious finish? Choose this day whom you will serve and determine not to twist off.","hover":"\nWhich Wolf Do You Feed?\n
Jesus-driven thinking helps and heals. This is what the Bible has to say on the subject: For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. \u2013 Romans 8:6\n
The Cherokee nation knew it, too. Check out this spot-on tribal tale:\n
An old Cherokee chief was teaching his grandson about life. He told the boy, \u201cA terrible fight is going on inside me. It is a fight between two wolves. One wolf is evil. He is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and self-doubt.\"\n

The grandson thought about it for a minute, then asked his grandfather, \u201cWhich wolf will win?\u201d The wise old chief replied, \u201cThe one you feed.\u201d\n
What wolf have you been feeding? Just know the wolf of evil thoughts will eventually devour you, and likely others as well. Thoughts become actions, and there is always collateral damage.\n

I love the end of the book of John. We get to listen to a very personal conversation between the resurrected hero of the universe and one of the recently restored heroes of the fledgling church.
Jesus asks Peter the same question three times. “Peter, do you love me?” Peter begins to wonder what he should know that only the Lord Himself knows.
“… and Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, “Do you love Me?” And he said to Him, “Lord, You know all things. You know that I love you.” Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep.” John 21:17
Everybody preaches on the beauty of that message and forgets what comes next. All of a sudden, Jesus turns to Peter and says, “Let me tell you something else I know…” Where this conversation goes is outright glorious.
“Most assuredly I say to you, when you were younger, you girded yourself and walked where you wished; but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will gird you and carry you where you do not wish. This He spoke, signifying by what death he would glorify God. And when He had spoken this, He said to him, “Follow me.” John 21:18-19
Did you catch it? Jesus turns to Peter and says, “You are going to finish really well.” Famous for denying Christ three times, Peter had a history of cussing like the sailor he was and being unpredictable when overwhelmed.
Knowing this, Jesus personally encouraged him by letting him know how his big finish would go. “…Peter, you are going places you never would have gone before. I know how you finish, and it’s all going to glorify me.” Pastor Troy Version
I bet if you listen closely, you’ll hear Jesus tell you the same. I bet if you walk close to Jesus, separate from the crowds, letting Him deal with you however He wants to, you would hear something like, “I’ve seen how you finish and it’s just plain glorious!”
Want a glorious finish? Choose this day whom you will serve and determine not to twist off.
Grounded in FaithDeclare!If I stumble, I get back up and move forward again. I will fail only if I choose not to get back up and fight. Christ is in me, and He will never leave me. I will follow Him with every part of my being until the very last day He gives me on Earth so I glorify Him with the life He gave me.

Grace for Kingdom Thoughts
Steeped in the Word
August 25, 2025 – 08/25/2025
8 – New Beginnings
25 – Grace for Grace
Then Jesus placed his hands on the man’s eyes again, and his eyes were opened. His sight was completely restored, and he could see everything clearly. Mark 8:25 NLT
Grace for Kingdom Thoughts\nThoughts progress. They really do! Your thoughts are taking you somewhere, whether you realize it or not. The question is, where will you let them take you?\n
Your thoughts become your feelings, and many times, your feelings control your actions. If you are going to be successful in your Christian walk, or any other part of your life, for that matter, you need to understand that what you think truly does affect your life.\n
\u201cFor I know their works and their thoughts.\u201d\u2013 Isaiah 66:18\n
What does God know about your thoughts? Just look at the chapter and verse. The number 66 is double \u201cman\u201d or \u201ccarnal.\u201d The number 18 is 3×6, which is triple \u201cman\u201d or \u201ccarnal.\u201d In other words, God knows our thoughts, and what He sees is not good.\n
\u201cAnd God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.\u201d \u2013 Genesis 6:5\n
God even says your thoughts become your actions, or works, so the question you need to ask yourself is, \u201cWhat are my major thought patterns? Are they positive or negative?\u201d\n
Thoughts become emotions. Emotions, when not taken captive, become actions. Thinking about something frustrating? If you continue that thought process, your emotions will become frustrated. Then you will take your frustrations out on others.\n
If you want to upgrade to the next level of thinking, if you want to truly follow God and reflect Jesus in all you do, you have to work on controlling your thoughts. They really do lead down the road to actions and often, sin.\n
Caught up in negative thought patterns? Stop it!","hover":"\nWhich Wolf Do You Feed?\n
Jesus-driven thinking helps and heals. This is what the Bible has to say on the subject: For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. \u2013 Romans 8:6\n
The Cherokee nation knew it, too. Check out this spot-on tribal tale:\n
An old Cherokee chief was teaching his grandson about life. He told the boy, \u201cA terrible fight is going on inside me. It is a fight between two wolves. One wolf is evil. He is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and self-doubt.\"\n
The old man continued: \u201cThe other wolf is good. He is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.\u201d He then told the boy, \u201cThis same fight is going on inside you and inside every other person, too.\u201d\n

Grounded in FaithDeclare!I refuse to entertain negative thoughts. I think about what is true, noble, praiseworthy, and of good report. My thoughts align with the mind of Christ and bring me peace, wonderful ideas, simple solutions to any problems, and new ways to live my life closer to Him. He gave me a will on purpose; He respected me enough to give me freedom to use it. I choose to use it to will His will.

Lord God’s Banner of Love
Steeped in the Word
August 24, 2025 – 08/24/2025
8 – New Beginnings
24 – Perfect Government Made Manifest
The disciples went and woke him up, shouting, “Master, Master, we’re going to drown!” When Jesus woke up, he rebuked the wind and the raging waves. Suddenly the storm stopped and all was calm. Then he asked them, “Where is your faith?” The disciples were terrified and amazed. “Who is this man?” they asked each other. “When he gives a command, even the wind and waves obey him!” Luke 8:24-25 NLT
Lord God’s Banner of Love\nMost of us have heard of the 16 God names in the Old Testament, including Jehovah Jireh, the Lord is our Provider, or Jehovah Rapha, the Lord is our Healer. However, few have heard of Jehovah Nissi.\n
Jehovah Nissi means the Lord is our Banner. The banner it\u2019s referring to is the flag on a battlefield. If you want to win the battle for upgrade and momentum, or to have victory in your life, learn to call on Jehovah Nissi.\n
Jehovah Nissi is the game-changing side of the Lord. He is the momentum changer. The Lord is our Banner speaks of a battlefield where suddenly, the momentum swings in your favor because the King\u2019s banner has entered the fray. It means the King Himself is fighting the fight!\n
Everything changes when you see Jesus on your battlefield. It is from that momentum that you pick up your sword, get off the ground, and scream in the face of the enemy. When it comes down to it, the forceful part of moving forward in the Kingdom is to be taken head-on, never from your flanks or behind. There\u2019s no need to cover your butt because your armor is for living life forward.\n
Read Ephesians chapter six and you\u2019ll see the \u201cfull armor of God\u201d covers everything but your backside. Why? Because moving forward, upgrade, progression, momentum \u2013 they are not for people who turn their backs to see what\u2019s behind them. You and I are not meant to be Lot\u2019s wife, looking back in longing for what she was leaving behind. We are to be the warrior Bride of Christ, positioned to move forward and win the battle under the banner of the King!\n
\u201cMoses built an altar and named it The LORD is My Banner, and he said, ‘The LORD has sworn; the LORD will have war against Amalek from generation to generation.\u201d Exodus 17:15","hover":"\nWhich Wolf Do You Feed?\n

I move Kingdom ground as He makes a way for others to come in. His banner over me is love, and I invite others to come share the love Christ has for us all.

Intentional Intimacy
Steeped in the Word
August 23, 2025 – 08/23/2025
8 – New Beginnings
23 – Being in the Presence of God (+) Death (-)
But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. Matthew 6:6 NKJV
Intentional Intimacy\nJesus gave specific instructions about prayer in this verse. The word \u201croom\u201d He uses in Matthew 6:6, tameion, is defined in Strong\u2019s Greek Dictionary as a secret chamber, a place where you go for privacy, or a storage place, like a closet. All three of these concepts unmistakably emphasize the fact that this place should be private and cut off from the comings and goings of the household. It should be a place where the world can be shut out.\n
The sharing of a special, secret place is an intimate act in itself. If there is a place where you meet with one person, and with nobody else, that place becomes one of the hallowed sanctuaries of the relationship. The Lord wants intimacy with us.\n
Intentionality is when you do something by decision instead of by default. The power of intent is huge in the Kingdom. Being intentional means that you have determined to make something a priority.\n
The Scriptures in Matthew 11:12 tell us,\u00a0and from the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. This means we take the Kingdom by pressing in with intentional force.\n
We go places with specific purposes in mind. When we go to work, we\u2019re there to work. When we go to the gym, we\u2019re there to work out. When we go to our secret place with God, we should be there to spend time with Him, and for no other reason.\n
Going to specific places for specific meetings with God is all through the Bible. God told Abraham to go to an uncertain place before He would show him anything else. Moses had to go to the top of the mountain, Jesus told the disciples to meet Him in Galilee, and another time, to wait in Jerusalem for the Holy Spirit.\n
Jesus was intentional about going to the cross to offer us forgiveness and inviting us into a close, intimate relationship.\u00a0Prayer done with intentionality and intimacy is our RSVP to our King.","hover":"\nWhich Wolf Do You Feed?\n

Grounded in FaithDeclare!Meeting with the Lord is the most precious part of my life. I intentionally meet in a place where I will not be distracted or interrupted and give Him my full attention. He is with me all the time, in every situation, but our intimate times of prayer are when I receive revelations and the fullness of His presence. I don’t want to miss a moment of time with Him.

For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them. Matthew 18:20 NKJV
Pastor Troy’s Declarative Prayer Over Open Door Church\nI declare that the Spirit of the Living God is in the people of this house.\u00a0\n
Where there was darkness, there is now Light; there was darkness, now it is as bright as the noonday sun.\u00a0\n
I pray in the name of King Jesus that wherever we have been defeated, You are releasing the way for incredible Victory. You, Lord, fight our battles and bring us every victory.\u00a0\n
Any place where there is shame, You are redeeming, and there shall now be honor.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\n
In every life you have rescued from horrible situations, there will be holiness and beauty. There will be no lasting effects on our lives from those places.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\n
Lord, you have saved us, healed us, and set us free in every way a person can be free. Transform us into rescuers, Lord, and use us.\u00a0\n
Open up the heavens and pour out your blessings on those who partner with us to be Your hands and feet.\u00a0\u00a0\n
I decree that You are establishing justice according to Your Word and Your ways for everyone who has experienced injustice, false testimonies, and wrong decisions made against them. Where we were wronged, You are making it right.\u00a0\u00a0\n
King Jesus, Sir, we delight in You and we know, Father God, Sir, that Your delight is to give us the desires of our heart. Create in every one of us a clean heart, align our hearts with Yours, Jesus, so that the desires of our hearts delight You and are fulfilled.\u00a0\u00a0\n
I declare over this house, God, that Your plan and Your purpose for our lives cannot be stopped because Your Word will not return to You void. You are blessing us with peace, unfolding a plan to prosper us, and filling us with hope.\u00a0\n
