In 1990, at the 85th International Assembly of the Church of God of Prophecy, Elva Howard delivered this powerful sermon titled “Doors to Open … Doors to Close.”
With the boldness and conviction that made her a favorite speaker at Assemblies, Sister Howard reminds the church that opportunities for the gospel are like doors—some opening wide by the Spirit of God, others closing if we fail to walk in obedience. From Paul’s missionary journeys to the children of Israel at Kadesh-Barnea, Sister Howard shows how faith, unity, and obedience determine whether we step through God’s doors of blessing—or miss the moment.
Listen now on the Sound Doctrine Podcast as this timeless message stirs us again to courage, prayer, and readiness for the open doors before us today.
