"THE DOOR AND THE MASTER KEY"


Doves,

This is a writing about an incident that happened on Monday evening about 6:00pm (05/12/2008)
It is interesting in itself. I have taken note of things happening that seem mundane, but have been prompted to search for prophetic meaning. In other words The Lord's calling card.

I arrived at my apartment and inserted the door key into the lock and it would not turn. My first impression was that I needed to make sure I didn't make an "air-head" move and go to the wrong apartment. No, it was the correct one. :) The key finally turned but the door would not open. I tried probably more that 10 times to get that door open and after my hand started aching...I went down to the office.  I heard The Holy Spirit say, "NO MAN CAN OPEN." I pushed it to the back of my mind.
I arrived at the office of the apartment complex and the door was ajar due to a powercord stuck in the door.(they were doing construction-remodeling). It should have been locked because it was after hours.  I went to the front where the office desks were and there was one of the usual girls inside. She said, "Your just in time, I was about ready to walk out." I told her, "The lock on my apartment is stuck. I have had trouble with it the last couple of weeks but figured I would just "deal with it". She said, "let me call emergency maintenance to get a key and investigate."
One hour later the maintenance guy showed up. He tried numerous times to get the key to turn in the lock and get the door open. He pushed, he pulled, he did a "I am gonna sneak up on it and give it a two hand try" move---I just chuckled, because, yeah, I tried the "two hand move as well" :) He decided then...He would break out the power tools! He said, I am going to have to destroy this old lock and replace it. I heard again, "NO MAN CAN OPEN", in my spirit.  The maintenance guy got out the first drill bit and then the second through the seventh and just blew breath in exasperation! He finally, with the seventh and much larger drill bit-(Yes I counted them :) blew through the lock and drilled it clear through to the other side of the door into the apartment. He tried then to pull out the lock mechanism that had gotten stuck to no avail. I heard again, NO MAN CAN OPEN. I said to myself, okay this is serious pay attention time! I took note of as many details as I could. The drill used was CRAFTMASTER, it took seven drill bits, the apartment number is 1607.  He went through the last drill bit and bent his needle nose pliers. He did everything except kick the door in! Finally the door lock (what was left of it) yielded to all the banging and drill bit persuasion and finally he got it open.
I heard again from The Holy Spirit, "PAY ATTENTION TO HIS NAME."  He then came back to the apartment to put in the new lock on the door. While he was away I searched the phrase, NO MAN CAN OPEN and knew it was from the book of Revelation.  It is similar to what is written in the KJV version of Revelation chapter 3 concerning the church of Philidelphia.

Revelation 3:7
And to the angel of the church of Philidelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, AND NO MAN OPENETH. (emphasis mine)

It is not exactly what I heard, (NO MAN CAN OPEN) but I do believe it is enough of a match to conclude it is a piece of the puzzle of  where we are time wise. What happened next just adds to it.

Francisco means- free or free man

Francisco finished putting the new lock in the door and the master key he had from the office worked perfectly-it is the one he used to make the copy. My key in my hand however did not. He tried to get my key to work in the new lock. It would not. I inquired, "Can you just give me your MASTER key and I can give you mine and have mine redone. He said, I will give you the MASTER key, but you have to know it will be the ONLY key that will work in this lock. If we need to get in, we will have to inconvenience you. You will be the only one of us that has a working key. He stated then "when you get a chance, go down to the office with the working key I will hand you and have a new one made from it. I agreed.

Doves, does this mean I am the only one with a key? NO! It means that I was handed a symbolic MASTER key, which to me means that it is another piece to a puzzle we have been putting together.  Let's look at the main pieces of this again.

A key that would not open a door I have always been able to
A craftmaster drill with 7 drill bits
Apartment 1607 = 1+6+0+7 = 14  1+4 = 5 = GRACE
Francisco-Free or Free man
A  NEW master key given that was the ONLY key that could now open that apartment door.
The NO MAN CAN OPEN prompting from The Holy Spirit that just so happens to"mainly" match the letter to the church of Philadelphia in the book of Revelation.

You decide what these details could mean.

Looking up and loving the learning process! Kelly Herman in Dallas
