Hi Stephany,
Oh my, I forgot about the small opening! To understand the meaning of that, we need to take a look at the meaning of “hands” when it is seen in s dream or a vision:
The hands of a person symbolize the power and organizational aspects of the body of Christ. It is all about power (opportunity and ability to bring into existence) organizing, functioning, and the handling of spiritual issues in the body of Christ. It symbolizes strength, power, possession (in one’s hand), and action. It also speaks of the helping hand of God which was delegated to the church. It is about equipping the saints for the ministry and the building up of the body of Christ. Even the finger of God by which Jesus cast out demons speaks of the work of God.
There is a difference between hand and foot although it appears to be very similar. With “hand” the emphasis is on power and organizing and guiding whilst with “foot” the emphasis is on stepping out and performing what was decided upon. See “Foot”
So the opening in the shower door means that not only is there a clear glass (spiritual insight) into the life of the specific person, there is now the opportunity and ability to reach that person (opening for hand to go through and hand the person something) with whatever they need (spiritual input, which is the relevant or applicable word or will or ways of God) to be delivered or set free (the authentic Biblical counseling process as God intended).
To answer your other question: Jesus Christ was the first example of a person in the Bible who forgave people whilst they were still in the process of hurting him. Stephan was another example. Whilst the Jews were stoning him to death, He forgave them immediately. His prayer was exactly as Jesus’ prayer was, “Father forgive them because they do not know what they do”. By doing this, it was impossible for bitterness and hate and unforgiveness (very bad emotional sins), to be harbored in Stephan’s heart.
So Stephan acted exactly as Jesus did. As we all know, emotional sins cause people to end up in hell, because if we do not forgive people, God cannot forgive us.
So, bad people do evil things (sin) to good people, who start to harbor very bad emotional sins in their hearts (emotional sins), aimed against those people like hate, bitterness, and unforgiveness. Check the meaning of Toilet “solids” for a good explanation about this. So at the end of the day, it is quite true when we make the statement that almost all problems and issues in people’s lives that require them to be counseled to be set free and delivered, are caused by sin, even in the lives of the victims. Very few people act as Stephan and Jesus did. People usually take years and years to forgive people and some never do.
