EPHPHATHA: The Mystery of Open Doors Unveiled

Apostle Joshua Selman, in his message “EPHPHATHA: The Mystery of Open Doors,” teaches that divine open doors are not merely physical opportunities but are deeply spiritual. These doors represent access to realms of favor, promotion, relationships, and breakthroughs ordained by God. However, just as there are God-ordained doors, there are also adversaries and limitations that seek to keep these doors shut. In this revelatory teaching, Apostle Selman explains how to invoke the power of “Ephphatha” to command closed doors to be opened and how to maintain access to these divine opportunities.

Key Scriptures:

• Mark 7:34-35:
  “He looked up to heaven and with a deep sigh said to him, ‘Ephphatha!’ (which means ‘Be opened!’). At this, the man’s ears were opened, his tongue was loosened, and he began to speak plainly.”

  • Apostle Selman explains that this scripture reveals a powerful spiritual principle. Jesus’ declaration of “Ephphatha” was not just for the physical healing of the man’s deaf ears but was also symbolic of how God’s Word opens blocked spiritual doors. When Jesus commands doors to be opened, nothing in heaven or on earth can keep them shut.

• Revelation 3:7-8:
  “These are the words of him who is holy and true, who holds the key of David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open. I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut.”

  • Here, Apostle Selman highlights that Jesus holds the key to every door, and when He opens a door, no adversary, system, or force can shut it. This passage reinforces that the mystery of open doors is rooted in Christ’s authority and our alignment with Him.

• 1 Corinthians 16:9:
  “For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries.”

  • Apostle Selman teaches that with every open door comes resistance. Therefore, we must not only pray for open doors but also engage in spiritual warfare to overcome the adversaries that seek to oppose our breakthroughs. The mystery of open doors requires discernment, persistence, and faith in God’s promises.

Reflection & Application:

Unlocking the Mystery of Open Doors in Your Life

In “EPHPHATHA: The Mystery of Open Doors,” Apostle Selman shares practical insights on how to unlock doors of favor, success, and spiritual growth. Here are key strategies to help you activate this mystery in your own life:

1. Declare God’s Word Over Closed Doors:
   Just as Jesus declared “Ephphatha” over the deaf man, we must speak God’s Word over any area of our lives where doors have been shut. Whether it’s in your career, relationships, or health, Apostle Selman emphasizes that the power of life and death is in the tongue (Proverbs 18:21). Use your words to command doors to be opened in the name of Jesus.

2. Align with God’s Timing and Will:
   Open doors often require divine timing. Apostle Selman stresses the importance of being aligned with God’s will and timing to walk through the doors He has prepared for you. Sometimes, delays occur not because doors are shut permanently but because God is preparing you for the right moment. Stay in tune with God through prayer and obedience.

3. Engage in Warfare Prayer:
   Apostle Selman teaches that every open door attracts opposition. Therefore, believers must engage in strategic prayers to overcome spiritual adversaries that attempt to hinder their breakthroughs. Warfare prayers include binding and casting out demonic forces, renouncing limitations, and standing on God’s promises for victory.

4. Activate the Key of Praise and Worship:
   In addition to prayer, praise is a powerful tool for opening doors. Apostle Selman reminds us of Paul and Silas in Acts 16:25-26, whose praises caused prison doors to fling open. As you offer up praise and worship to God, you invite His presence to break open doors that seemed impossible to unlock.

5. Walk Through the Open Doors with Boldness:
   Once the door is open, Apostle Selman encourages believers to walk through with boldness and faith. Fear, doubt, or hesitation can cause us to miss divine opportunities. When God opens a door, He equips you to succeed. Step into the new realms of favor and destiny He has prepared for you with confidence.
