It’s  Protection  Not  Punishment

Ricky  /  May 28, 2025

Sometimes God closes a door—-not because you’re not called, but because He loves you too much to let you walk through it unprepared. He sees what’s on the other side. He knows the weight, the warfare, and the responsibility that comes with what you’re praying for.

So, when He says “not yet,” it’s not punishment—-it’s protection. The waiting season is not wasted. It’s where warriors are shaped. It’s where prayer lives are built. It’s where identity is revealed. If you’ve been in pause, don’t rush the process—-lean into it.

***Some doors are closed because God loves you too much to let you enter unprepared. Delay isn’t always the enemy—-it’s often protection !

***Premature access can become spiritual sabotage. God will never give you what you’re not spiritually, mentally, or emotionally ready to carry.

***He’s not withholding blessings—-He’s building capacity. You’re not just called to walk through doors. You’re called to steward what’s on the other side.

***The door isn’t denied—-it’s delayed for development. God’s timing is not a punishment. It’s precision. It’s preparation. It’s love.

***God closes doors to grow you privately before He releases you publicly. Trust what He’s doing behind the scenes. What feels like a pause is often the place of pruning.

***God often times prepares you in private for what He wants to do through you in public.

***God will use a season you didn’t select to develop you. He doesn’t waste a season.
