- Does it seem like doors just keep closing in your life and no matter how hard you try you just can't seem to get ahead? Does it feel at times that maybe God is like, against you? Does it feel at times like it's one rejection after another? Well, in this encouraging video I share from my personal life how God closed many doors in my life that at the time I was convinced should have opened but God had another plan. I pray this encourages you today!

Hey FAM, a little different video today. I just wanted to hop on and encourage some of you with my testimony. I also wanted you all to know me better and the journey God took me through to get to where I am today. I hope you find this encouraging. Blessings,
Thanks so much.
I needed to hear this, it's made my crazy journey understandable. Thank you
Good Morning, thank you for your encouragement and knowledge! Thank God for Closed Doors 😇🙏🏾
Glory to God! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Thank you for sharing your testimony and I thank God for finding you on TH-cam! You’ve been a wealth of information on Christian apologetics, much like my church here in Detroit, Strictly Biblical Bible Teaching Ministries! Not sure what God wants me to do, but I’m preparing myself. Glory to God!
This is so on point in my feels, I graduated with an engineering degree too and never had what I would call a decent remunerating opportunity plus unemployed right now. It definitely helps
“We can make our plans, but the Lord determines our steps.”
Proverbs 16:9 NLT 😊
🙌🙌🙌 Yes! Thank you, Lord!!!
👍👍👍
This is encouraging. God closes doors for our protection and to bring us to something better. God knows better than we do so we have to trust Him.
Is It okay to ask the Lord to close a door, If he doesn't think It's good for us?
I went through 10 plus years of hell. Demons in my head. Accident. Divorce. Family deaths. Loss of home. Loss of employment. Children turned against me by their mom. Depression anxiety hate bitterness rage anger ptsd and a slew of others. Then a surgical mistake about took me down. I wanted, sought death. I was ready to do it. Was going to put a rifle under my chin.
I was watching/ listening to the “I can only imagine “ movie and praying. Begging God to help me.
He did. He finally broke through my darkness and pulled me out. I had a miracle healing that day. All the years of pain. Mental drugs. Drinking. Nothing could help.
The demon of depression was like a dinosaur. Huge. Nothing could kill it. God stepped in and pulled the demons out.
I still have mental and health issues I battle. Still have anxiety and ptsd but it keeps me humble and leaning into God. Saved in July 2018 and starving to keep learning and to share my testimony. God is Great!! Amen
I always say ”Man’s rejection is God's protection” thanks for sharing! You really inspired me to stay focused and trust God's provision and providence! 🙏🏾
I really needed to hear that! Thank you so much and God bless you!
Godschildyes Brown God bless you!
Godb bless!
I love the testimony... when He says His thoughts are higher than ours...so so true. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Amen
Amen 🙏🏾. God bless.🙏🏾👍🏾✝️💪🏾
You too Samuel
Amen 🙏🏾🖤👑 amen
🙏🏾🖤👑 amen 🙏🏾🖤👑
Yes! The job rejections are real. I didnt understand what was happening until God gave me the parable of the workers in the vineyard. The owner approached 2 men and asked them what were they doing standing around, and the men said "no on will hire us." So, the man hired them. At that moment God told me "I want to hire you."
Wow
Wow! Then go, take His investment in you and the blessing He is giving to you and you go get "5 more bags", good and faithful sister of mine, servant of the only God!
We're never unemployed when we're working for God. - my dad

God Bless my brother and sister who ever reading this comment
Thank you so much! I really needed that! God bless you too! 🙏💖😁
Amen!
Bless you too dear brother
God was closing doors on me after seemingly opening them very regularly for about 2 years. I was all but forced to leave the church I grew up in and attended for 39 years, I felt that He was calling me but the doors that opened, and believe me, some were good opportunities they just closed. I got set up to preach for 4-6 weeks for a pastor who was having surgery, just a couple of weeks before I was to start I got a call that I wasn’t going to be able to do it, bam!!! Another closed door. But then, in God’s awesome plan the church within sight of my house, God took that pastor home and I was asked to fill in, then hired as the head pastor. The day I started was the day I was supposed to start where the door had closed.
Doors open and doors close, we must stay in God’s will and He’ll show us the right door. God bless you Mr Parr, great video.
Channel Like this has inspired me to start my own Christian Channel
Hope everyone's havin a blessed day 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thank you so much! Same to you and God bless you for being so sweet and kind! You are a good man. 👍
Thanks! God bless❤️❤️
I’m in a season of close doors it hurts so bad I feel like God has left me. But thank you for sharing your testimony.
Same sister , blessings
It's all for a reason and protection I find and if u feel strong on the lord he is enough however I have been disheartened due to just attacks spiritual and so so many people but won't stop me and my goals nearly there.
His ways and thoughts are higher than ours - and His word says He will never leave nor forsake us🙏🏽🌼may you take heart in Him, He alone is our Rock, Refuge and Fortress.
My issue is not knowing my purpose. I’ve confessed my sins (just recently confessing EVERYTHING I know/remember I’ve done wrong), I’ve prayed relentlessly asking God to tell me what I’m supposed to be doing because it seems like I’m not passionate about anything. I keep hearing I’m supposed to be a “mother”, but i can’t just give up my job. I’m divorced, and my relationships afterwards always seems to fail. I’m so confused. But, I’m grateful for you and Brother and Sister Flowers (another set of TH-cam pastors). Pray for me. Pray that I get full deliverance from my guilt now that I’ve confessed, pray that I redeem the spirit of consistency, ambition, and determination. Pray that I DO become the mother God has called me to be. And pray that I forgive the men that hurt me in my past, my ex husband and other ill equipped relationships. Also pray that if God wants me to leave my ex alone, that I truly have peace with that decision as well. I apologize this was so long. Thank you, brothers and sisters in Christ!
God bless you for sharing this, I’ve got good news for you!
Romans 8:1 reminds us that to those that are in Christ Jesus there is no condemnation. God loves you and he died so that all your sins can be forgiven. The truth is Romans 5:8 says he died whilst we were still sinners which means whether or not you accept it or not, IT IS FINISHED. HE Died for your sins today, yesterday and tomorrow so don’t allow the enemy to condemn you with guilt or shame of your past life. 2 Cor 5:17 we are new creations in Christ and so everything old has passed away infact the bible tells us that he remembers our sins no more! So I pray you begin to attain the righteousness{Romans 5:1}, peace and identity that God has given you and I declare that the plans he has for you for a hope and future will come to pass. God bless you ❤️
There is no condemnation in Christ. He is the Lord of second chances. Have courage! Try reading Dr. Myles Munroe books on purpose, vision, and potential. He is also on you tube.

Jshawn Cook thank you so much for your word. You gave me the confirmation that I needed, you really touched my spirit, so much so, I shed tears while reading your reply. Thank you 🙏🏽
In 2010, my stepfather passed away, only to be followed by my mother's passing a week later. So, I assumed it was the Lord's will for me & my 7 year old son, to move back home to Florida, in order to help take care of my grieving family. I spent 2 years back home trying desperately to find a job, to no avail! I'm was educator (former teacher, assistant principal & principal). I had 3 college degrees, 2 of which are graduate degrees, and couldn't even find a job working at Walmart (not that working at Walmart is bad). The Lord TOTALLY shut the door on me moving back home, which made total sense to me & my family. However, when me & my son prayed for the Lord's will to be done instead of my own, we moved back to Missouri, and I found a job in less than a week! The lesson I learned is Lord is sovereign, and His counsel alone will stand! As followers of Christ Jesus, we MUST..."trust in the Lord will all of our heart, and lean NOT to our own understanding, but in ALL of our ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct our path" (Proverbs 3:5-6)!!!
OMG! I can relate to this brother! I am a license commercial pilot, and when pandemic happened, I cannot fine a job, even any job. All I want is for me and my family to survive and live. I am so depressed and hopeless. My friends are mocking me because I am a pilot and yet I have no money. I cry most of the time, all I have is God. I want to just God with my situation. I am scared but I know God is in control. I am blessed to find your YT Channel. Thanks for providing Biblical perspective. God bless you always bro Allen! ❤️
“After he had led them out of the jail, he asked, “What must I do to be saved?” They replied, “Have faith in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved! This is also true for everyone who lives in your home.””
Acts 16:30-31 CEV
Closed doors give us opportunity to grow. I believe that the process is important; in James Chapter 1 we see that we are perfected in patience. God closes doors to both grow us and save us from losing out on what God has called us for. I actually did a similar video on my channel as well regarding how God spoke to me during my time in the "wilderness". Great video brother Allen!
What a powerful testimony! I can imagine how the doors closing one after another tried to convince you that your vision and purpose was not for you, but low and behold, God was incubating you. This is why when Solomon asked for wisdom, He freely gave him the all of the riches. This is so so encouraging how challenges open us up to the wisdom of God.
“Sometimes I Thank God For Unanswered Prayers” - Garth Brooks
Well this was timely.
I had just attempted to get enrolled in my country's air guard. My dad was in the prison service, my brother is in the coast guard, my other brother is in the police. So of course is was expecting the trend to continue with me.
I didn't qualify.
But praise God he'll take me to greater places.
Everyone in my immediate family on my dad's side is a lawyer...except me. I'm a "lawyer for heaven." God works the most through "The Unique Ones". Be blessed! ✌😆
Oh, so true! We are often ungrateful when circumstances don't go our way. But, those are the moments when God is at work on us!
Just had a door look wide open but kept shutting about half a year, just a I cleared one ridiculous hurdle after another. The pandemic played a huge part in it. Finally, I gave it up as the just about last door closed and accepted the path God has laid before me despite my fear I couldn’t do it. But I felt at peace about. And then I got a call that did finally close the door on that wrong program. I didn’t get upset. I have to pray for sight, strength, and perseverance to accomplish my tasks from God. It’s better than doing the wrong thing more easily. Thank you God, amen!
Thanks, Allen!
Yeah brothers and sisters, praise Him for closing some doors in your life.
I was struggled on getting a job 9 times but now I got my current job as graphic designer.
If Almighty God close that door in the future, I still rejoice in Him, obey Him with my renew heart He gave me.
Hope He bless you the same, dear all brothers and sisters..!
Early bird over here! ✋
Pastor Parr, you are speaking to me. Thank God for leading me to your channel, and Thank You, Lord, for Your Supreme power to influence our lives for Your glory. Please pray for me. Your testimonials are inspiring and encouraging and very hurtful to hear what you have been through for such a long period and standing strong today to give us hopes and strengthen an army of the Lord. Blessings to you and yours 🕊
Wow !! The timing of this video. Since last week I have been thanking God for all the doors He closed, and all my plans and calculations that He wrecked. Bcz now I realize God was protecting me.. He is a protective Father. 🙏 During this Covid and lockdown time I got so much time to grow deeper in Him, and now I can see how dangerous it would have been for me if all my plans had worked out.. But God saw the bigger picture and saved me from so much damage!! Now I can't find words to thank Him enough 🙏
Thank you Jesus for closing TWO doors this week and casting these mountains out to the sea doing something I could not do for myself. Satan sat a trap for me Togo backwards in my life and the Lord did not let my foot slip!! The Lord is Good and his Love endures forever
Praise God. Its so cool how He takes care of us, even when its painful.
Yes! You said it right! Just like that! Takes care of us even when it's painful. I love what you said! Thanks you so much! 🙏💖😔
I am From Eritrean (east african) living in Ethiopea as a refugee.. I always watching ur videos MAY THE LORD GOD GIVE U MORE WISDOME TO REACH MORE PEOPLE THAT THIS...indeed ur online teaching is blessibg for us.
This ministry blesses me already but this video is particularly important. I lost my job in 2016- It was a career I was working in for nearly 16 years. Since then I have not been able to get re-employed in the industry and have done a variety of much lower scale lower paid jobs as I have found many closed doors. It’s been the most discouraging four years of my life. I am hopeful that my story ends like yours with something so good I could not have imagined it. Thanks for making this video you encourage me!
Just goes to show that testing can last anywhere from one day to one decade. God is still good through it all, and true submission to His will requires much faith and unceasing prayer. I’ve felt like a solicitor with all the doors He’s shut in my face, but like most of us here, I’m gonna praise Him and keep knocking. Thank you, Brother Allen, for this video and for the work you do for the kingdom!
Perfect timing - definitely needed this.
My problem that I heep running into the same closed door and Jesus has to turn me around to see the open doors he has for me.
Hi brother Allen. I just want you to know that your story has given me a lot of hope. I’ve been very disappointed that I haven’t been able to use my theology degree because the doors haven’t opened, very similar to what you went through. At times I even feel like I’m doing something wrong. But your testimony reminds me to be patient and allow God to work in my life. The door will open on His time. Thank you for your videos and God Bless you and your family.
May God bless everyone who watched this liked this aswell as dislike this that the ones who disliked this be shown to the love of of God.
LALELA!!! (that's listen in isiZulu) that applying for everything because it's what you're used and God just ain't having it 🤣🤣🤣, so frustrating until you finally GET IT!!!
@Lutendo Maiwashe did you have a similar experience? I did
Pastor, you have blessed me so much with you ministry. There are no doubt many that watch you and never comment on videos because they’re not comfortable with commenting. I was one of those people...thank you for being a Shepard to your online flock🙏🏾
God is enough for me don't be like anyone else my weakness is jobs and not getting where I want to due to a hurdles which stops me getting the job I really want. Doors with people is protection and distractions I don't need anyhow but I struggle with accepting the job I want I can't have.
Man, my life has been unraveling for a minute but from 2016 til now, complete breakdown. Divorced, house still on t by e market (too), medically retired, and due to financial reasons we're still living in the house that won't move. I feel punished at times and every sad feeling is compounded with covid19 and isolation. I praise the Lord's name daily but Brother Allen the feeble sinful side of me is struggling. This is reflective of my life. Like I'm being punished for being a Believer. I know not to give up on Jesus...it's just that while I praise Him daily, I am stagnated. I need Supernatural Intervention. Keep me in pray.
Thank for this word. I can't even find a door... So I will be still and know He is God. He has a plan and He will be glorified and His grace is sufficient for me - I'm standing on those promises.
That’s awesome that you can use your three skills all at once-mathematics, teaching, and ministry!
This sounds like my past situation. God pushed me into entrepreneurship. I ended up getting a low paying job that I loathed. However the job was flexible enough for me to not lose sight of what He called me to do.
As children of God we must understand that Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is the answer to all of our questions. He will give you Guidance Provision Teaching Protection Healing Sustainment and Counsel ✝️🙏🏾✝️🙏🏾✝️
Brother Allen, you have no idea how your testimony is blessing me right now. Graduated from Varsity early 2020 and I’ve been applying for many job opportunities, even as a cleaner just to get some sort of employment. And every door has closed and last week I just felt so defeated, I couldn’t even pray.
Thank you for sharing, this really encouraged me!
Hahaha I'm catholic, but yes, it's the same God with the same sense of humor. We have to learn that God's ways are not our ways, we should deny ourselves, abandon our pride and trust in the divine providence because he is always in charge and has better plans for us.
P.D. I've always been catholic, but after being lost in sin for so many years, protestant channels like this one helped me as a 1st step to come back to God, thanks 💙💙
Love to all
Well I am not an engineer but the past 8 months every door for employment has been closed. God is silent on the next step but it is obvious what jobs I was searching for are closed doors.
You've got me crying here. I TOTALLY understand what you're talking about. With one difference: I don't know where God is leading yet. I got my first paycheck in two years (well, one year and 11 months), but now my back is acting up and I'm not working until I can stand longer again. Have had doors closed on jobs that I'm totally qualified for (with lots of experience). Lost my college teaching job two years ago.
In the meantime, I've been getting to know God better. That's been good. He wants me to know Him as Provider, and this is not being an easy path. My checking account has dwindled so much in two years! (Glad I had earned more than I spent, so I had the money to live off of for two years.)
I don't know what's going on. He told me almost four years ago that He has plans for me. Also, some people were praying for me a couple years ago, and one person had a word that I had my eyes closed and my hand up, holding God's hand, and He was leading me but I couldn't see where I was going. That is CERTAINLY how life has been since then!
Can you tell me, please, how to start a tutoring business? I can tutor in certain areas, and have played around with various creative things, but haven't finished anything, and it wouldn't support me, anyway. I'm not an entrepreneur. I have ideas, but I don't know what to do with them.
Have been studying the Bible more in the past couple years. Am learning lots, and our Father has been changing me without me even asking Him to.
I'm upset because I finally found a part-time temporary job, and my back has started hurting (previous back injuries), which precludes me from doing my job right now. THIS IS SO DISAPPOINTING, and I'm losing income!
What is going on? The only message that the Holy Spirit is saying consistently is to trust Him as Provider. This is so hard. Good, but hard.
Help!? Prayers, please.
This is where the rubber meets the road, as the saying goes, where faith becomes an actual walk rather than just some words and ideas.
Very very true! My marriage just ended. She apparently had the taste of others after 12 years.
I am still upset God decided that my Marine Corps career had to end after 8 years. However, he has something great for me planned career wise so He has to have something planned for me relationship wise.
This is incredible Mr. Allen your testimony has shown me how God was closing many doors for me while being on dating apps and being at a job that I am miserable at. Nothing was working and if it was it didn’t last. This has shown me great clarity how God continues to close doors 🚪 that aren’t meant for us. Praise God He has shown me a new direction for my life in closing those doors 🙏🙌
Thank you, for the video,it's definitely encouraged me. For me my relationship with my ex girlfriend of 3 years ,who I met at Bible college ended last month. And I thought she was the one God had for me ,I was even saving for a ring and her family loved me too, but God closed that on our relationship. And a year ago I had to drop out of college because it was getting to expensive and I didn't want to get into thousands of dollars into debt like I knew some of my friends had. Again I'm not mad at God but I do know He does things for our good so these happened for my good. I know God has better for me even though right now I don't know what it is.
My heart really goes out to you brother! Praying for you! 🙏😔
@@godschildyes thanks I definitely need it
God had used you as a voice of truth in a very deceptive time. Thank you and thank the lord for his closed doors in your life.
Gods rejection is your protection! Thank you for this message!!🙏🏽
When God is about to pull me out of a career I feel the pull, then the pull becomes a dragging. I am an American Sign Language teacher for two schools (one for a non for profit high school and the other for a continuing education program for adults) and I have been feeling that the Lord was closing the door for me teaching ASL. I have had this feeling for a while. I have been thankful for these jobs because it has helped me through the pandemic. But these jobs doesn't really pay the bills, and due to the fact that I am not certified as a ASL teacher, this skill is not transferable, and I live pay check to pay check. I also share a car with my sister and my jobs are far from my house. If I did not live with my sister and my mother in our rented apartment I would not be able to support myself. We live in NY and it is very expensive. Also I feel that the Lord is pulling me to work directly with the Deaf community. One morning I was praying, Lord please help me with my career I don't know what to do, and that very morning when I was looking for more ASL teaching jobs I came a cross a Hearing Aid Specialist. I have never heard of this job before. With more research it seems to pay well and people generally like it. Also it does not require a college degree. Which is another positive for me because after six years of going to college and struggling, the Lord closed that door. I was struggling against his will, and I did not even go to school for ASL, I went for Wild Life and animal science and I never got a degree. In the middle of the summer my continuing education program called and said it would not be offering any ASL for the fall. Then 2 days ago the high school that I work for made a new schedule for the school year, and I did not see ASL on the schedule. I told my mom that I believe that it was simply a mistake that I am not on the schedule, but if it is not then I will take it as a sign from God. That night I contacted my boss and they let me know that they cut American Sign Language from this falls schedule. Instead of getting angry I felt a really weird feeling of relief. I guess that God was preparing me. The classes online are very affordable for me to train as a Hearing Aid Specialist, so I am going to walk towards it in faith.
Powerfull testimony !! When God said yes nobody can say no...He have a reason for everything..we should let Him work his way and stop forcing things. Do the possible and He will be the impossible!! I have the same testimony on my page🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thanks you God for never letting me down. I PRAY THAT MY SITUATION WILL CHANGE FOR THE BEST CAUSE I'M WAITING ON YOU GOD IN JESUS NAME I PRAY!! AMEN
Amen . Got to be patient and have faith in the Lord . Walk by faith not by sight. Cause now we are leaving in a challenging time . Glory to God .
Thank you for sharing. Doors have been closing in my life for the last several years. I can't understand it, my wife and friends can't understand it, colleagues can't understand it, and it's so frustrating. I have a bachelor's degree and Masters of Business Administration, military experience, management experience, sales experience, outstanding work and academic history. Yet somehow I still ended up without a job and homeless for a while. No drug, alcohol, mental health, physical health, violence or other issues. It truly defies logic. It's only by the grace of God (literally, not figuratively) that I have a place to live for the time being, a job (although not nearly at the level I need) and food to eat. God is definitely working, but it's tough when those doors close. Good to be reminded that His plans are higher than our plans, and that all things work together for our good and His glory!
God is pulling alot of children in entrepreneurship. This happened to me. Seek God's face. Wouldn't be surprised is this is the case for you as well.
God sent this video to me at the right time. I'm really worrying about my future because I'm not sure which direction to go regarding work. I'm being reminded that the Lord has a plan for everyone and he will guide me on the right path. I just need to trust Him!
And...God didn't leave you out there - He provided for you through the process! What an amazing God we serve. Thank you for sharing - wonderful reminder to us all, especially during this season.
Allen,
Thank you for sharing your testimony. Praise the LORD! The LORD is truly amazing. The doors didn’t just open for you, it opened for all of us that truly want to learn the word of God.
For all the doors that closed for me..., I rejoice in ”The Door” I opened when JESUS knocked.
--------------
Revelation 3 : 20 (KJV)
[20] 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.
So not only were you a former praise and worship leader, you were also an engineer. I'm so glad God led me to come across your channel about a year ago. I appreciate you sharing your testimony, brother. Keep up the good work, and I'll keep watching and sharing the content.
Allen, my blessed brother in the Lord, your presentation, your content is amazing. Thank you for setting the standard for us Christian TH-camrs.
I pray God give you more divine ideas to further the Gospel.
Wow, this is very relatable! I have often felt like I'm beating up against a brick wall when God closed doors, but I'm very glad that He didn't give me certain opportunities that I wanted. I just thought to myself, maybe this isn't God's will, at the time. Looking back, I am SO GLAD those doors were closed, and the ones God opened were much better.
Dear Allen, don't know you. I commented on your channel a long time ago. I stopped by your channel to hear your mini stories as I share stories here on TH-cam as well. Thank you so much for sharing your testimonials because this is where I am in life - closed doors in jobs I have years experience in - but, can't get hired for nothing. This message has encouraged me so much! Now I know God has a reason! 🙏😊
This is perfect timing man I been looking for a place to live and got told twice that the current place I’m looking at is mine if I wanted it only to find out today that they changed their mind and gave it to someone else. Thanks for the encouragement and praise God for the closed doors! I’ve gained something far more valuable than any riches or living situation which is greater faith in Him and closer relationship to my God🙌
Am reminded that God is our creator!! He knows what's best for us...the pain while the doors close!!!!
Thank you for your obedience in delivering this word. I've encountered a few roadblocks lately and while my conviction is that God is behind them, it has been tough especially when the requirement has been "stand still and wait". One day when I started questioning God, I was led to read a scripture in the book of Acts where Paul and his companions were forbidden from preaching the word in the province of Asia. Through a vision Paul had later, he discovered he was required to preach the gospel in Macedonia and journeyed there. What also rung true was the verse in Proverbs which states that many are the plans of a man's heart but the lord establishes his steps. References: Acts 16: 6-10 & Proverbs 16:9
I've had so many closed doors in my life and still so now. I relate wholeheartedly to your testimony.
Thank you for sharing your personal testimony! It has really insptired me so much that now I am in peace with God. As far as I am concerned, He has closed many doors for more than 20 years. But now I am sure that He has a plan for me.
I had been struggling to be in a relationship with a man because of my abused past so when my ex husband left me for another woman, I was ready to quit life itself. The pain was immense. BUT, I'm not 100% sure if this is God's doing, someone came in just in time. He became my best friend. God may have plopped a cat across the street from me to help me when he wasn't around. Fast forward, I'm healed and became pregnant with my son. His due date was supposed to be the SAME as my ex's birthday. God has an amazing sense of humor. Thankfully, our son was born 16 days earlier. It was just funny and crazy how things worked out. The man God has introduced to me has become my Christisn best friend. I think things are still going into play. I'm starting to see what I am called to do as well. The clarity is amazing.
Having a clock and a calendar really help but really cause a lot of issues sometimes 😅
Hallelujah! Thank you for closing those doors in my life God 🙏!!! PRAISE GOD 👏👏👏
Thank you for sharing, Pastor. Not only did G-D plan your journey, you sharing your journey is G-D’S plan too. It helps us. Bless you, sir. 🙏🏼❤️
I thank God for the closed doors in my life. For He has plans far beyond my imagination. Praise be to God
This testimony was the best and help me to realize greater things in my marriage and the person I am married to was God sent. Amen
Thank you brother Allen. This really blessed me. I'm in that same position now. Doors continue to be closed and I've experienced loss all in the span of 2 months. I'm now expecting God to do something unparalleled in my life.
I realize it now took me a while to understand this God reveal this to me 4 years ago Love this video very important to share
I've been noticing some sudden shifts and changes in my life and today, as I was doing housework, I just felt off. Like stop everything and seek God. I had no idea where I should start so I typed in what came to mind. I had no idea which videos to pick so I just went down the list. The Lord didn't want me to pick what I thought was right or the person I thought would speak to me. I'm glad I obeyed and found this channel. Thank you for your messages and your obedience. I feel encouraged and strengthened in the Lord.
Mr. Parr, this is the second testimony video I've seen of yours. The work God has done in your life is so inspiring, it totally encourages me to go deeper in my relationship with God. Please never stop sharing these testimonials. There are tons of people who really need to hear them. God bless you and your family!
Thank you brother. I feel that God has closed everything I've been praying about for years. And pushing me to something else. Every time I feel God saying that's not for you do this for me. I needed to hear this. Thank you.
Brother Allen, I want to reach out to you and say this... "God Bless You" You are an excellent example of the men that are written about in the Bible. Amen Brother Amen!!!
Yess this is so true. We never know what God has prevented from coming our way. An example of this is that my family and I were planning to go to the beach last week and it started to rain so we had to go to a different beach. We were really upset because the beach we had to go to was rocky but God prevented us from going through the motorway which was _flooded_ at the time. Praise God!

" For if the casting away of them be the reconciliation of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?

Such blessings in closed doors
Open doors- What an abundance of God's grace
Stay ablaze,
waste not a single moment
Many closed doors, but the right one was the whole time open 🙏🏼
Not always. Sometimes we're not ready to have the right door open so we have to wait. Sometimes we have to wait a long time.
Thank you Mr. Allen Parr for your story of God closing doors which means God has other wonderful plans in mind that I don't even know about. You have encouraged me to believe that God wants the best for us & that I can't see right now from my limited perspective.
Thank you for speaking truth to us. I feel so at peace when I watch your videos. God bless.
This is so encouraging, struck a very close nerve to home with me. I tried everything to get my company funded but its purpose just was nothing because I now better know the truth. I've been desperately seeking my new purpose and I know His glory is my purpose and that I am a warrior for Him. It just seems now I don't know how I am to execute the new mission for me. Its possible I'm just not listening close enough - unfortunately no shock there...
I am so thankful that God closed those doors , otherwise I would never be able to benefit from your ministry. So thank you God, and thank you Allan for being faithful. You are one of my "go-to-mature-christians" to go to, when I am confused or hungry for more insight in the Bible. Greetings from a danish sister ❤️
To God be the glory for this transparent and timely testimony. I thank God for the Providence of God in our lives for the glory of His Son Jesus Christ!! Thank you for allowing God to use you!
Allen, my family and I are thankful God led you to this ministry. Especially during this crazy COVID time and experiencing churches closed and reopening with restrictions, we have turned to your teaching to fill the gaps. We learn a lot during your shorts segments. You are practical and down to earth. You always give us great topics that lead to meaningful discussion. God bless you man!
💖🙏...really needed to hear this,thankyou so much.👍
Amen, living for the Kingdom to come. 🙏

Glad the other doors were closed, we are all soo grateful to have you here Allen 🥰
Excellent topic Pastor Allen, I won't go into all the details, but similar thing happened to me. God is so good. Long story short. I am now a prison chaplain and loving it!
Thank you, I'm new to your channel and your message is spot on. I too have had doors slammed on me and was losing faith that God had my back. Your story is inspirational and serves to remind me that God has a plan for me which will be unveiled when I'm ready to receive. Till then ill keep on learning and keep on working on my music to see what the next chapter brings. Thanks!
Thank you brother for sharing. This was very encouraging. Not sure where my life is headed, but I know it’s good because I belong to Jesus. God bless you.
what a beautiful & encouraging testimony! Thank you brother Allen!! praise God for you & for the BEAT. You’ve been of great help to me in learning more of the word of God!! to God be the glory!
His plans are always so much better than our own always
This is true in my life too. So many closed doors. Heartaches along the way that lead to His glory and for my good. Beyond awesome God. Praise Him. Thank you brother for sharing this testimony. God bless you and your ministry ❤🙏
He truly is an awesome God🙏
