There are many doors that one enters thru in life. Some of these doors are oftentimes doors to a life of defeat and failure. There are a lot of doors in life that one addicted to drugs and alcohol often goes through. The front door of a home broken and devastated by a life controlled by Drugs. Alcohol, Violence, Substance Abuse and Crime.

            Then there’s the back door of broken hearts and the past hurts to those we love and that love us.

There is the door to the Bars and Liquor Stores that one enters into to get that bottle of alcohol that controls and consumes their life. That life controlling demon that drives them deeper and deeper into the pit of inner misery.  That demonic influence that destroys families and lives.

            There is that door to the dope house we go thru and where we buy the drugs that we so desperately crave.

Drugs are just another demonic tyrant that now controls us instead of us controlling it. The drug addicted knows that the drug is no longer for fun as it now controls them and like the fires of Hell it consumes them.

       There’s the door to the Hospital where you have had episodes of overdose, alcohol poisoning or Psychosis.  Many times this becomes a revolving door where you go in and out over and over again.

       There’s the door to treatment programs where they try and help you work out your addiction.

       Then there’s the Jail cell door that one often ends up going through over and over and over again.

      Then comes the Courthouse door where the Judge and the Courts have to deal with you and your addicted life.

     Then there is the Prison Door that will close behind you as your addiction and life style has devastated and destroyed your life to the point of total ruin.

            Then there is that final door that many will enter through. That is the door at the Morgue where your drug addicted alcoholic abused body will eventually pass through. 

             When I think of all the different doors of life that we pass thru it reminds me that most of my life I was truly on the doorstep of HELL. The Bible shares the solid truth that Hell is Real!  It also shares that there is a way of Life what I often call that Highway to Hell that is also real. There is a real Hell and a real highway and lifestyle to get us there. It’s not just that old Rock Song from AC/DC “A Highway to Hell”. If you have been on that Highway to Hell like my family, my home life and my past you know that it is real.  The bible shares in Isaiah 5:14 Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.   

     Looking back on our life many will be able to recall and remember times in their sin addicted lives where they were so close to death. On that doorstep of Hell. Maybe it was a car wreck, while high and wild. Maybe it was bar room fight. Maybe it was getting shot or shot at.  It could have been a dope deal gone bad. It could have been an overdose, or an alcoholic blackout. It could have been a hit of bad dope.

There are so many exits on that Highway to Hell where it could very well end up your last breath. On that doorstep of Hell yet God had mercy on you.  2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.                 

On that doorstep of Hell we see many times the mercy and longsuffering of a loving God who loves us so much and so deeply.  The message of the Gospel is loud and clear to us even when we are blindly rejecting His love and running from Him as well as His Love, Mercy and Grace.

            Romans 5:8-9 “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

There is a door that Jesus Christ offers us that we can go in. John 10:9-10 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.  The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

This door is a door of “FREEDOM” from that past of sin and demonic bondage. This door is a door of “Hope” from that life of Hopelessness. This door is a door of “Peace” from a life full of torment. This door is the door of “Mercy” from a life destined to Hell.

You can step away from the doorstep of Hell and step up to the doorstep of Calvary.

Rev. 3:30 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

As you read this my friend, the Holy Spirit is convicting your heart and challenging your soul to open that door.  You can step away from the doorstep of Hell to the door of His Love, Mercy and Grace.“

That door is open if you will open it as the Lord Jesus stands at the door of your heart knocking.

            Friend the steps of freedom, salvation and receiving the Grace of God is simply and sincerely:

• A-Admit you're a Sinner:
• B–Believe Christ died for your sin:
• C-Confess this to God :
