Declaration: The heavens are open over me today; divine communications and favour flow freely.
Points to ponder
1. Jesus is the door to an Open Heaven.
Jesus spoke in the context of Jacob’s ladder. (Exodus 28) Jacob was going through a difficult time when he sought rest in the wilderness; a stone was his head rest. He dreamt of heaven’s angels ascending and descending a stairway rising from earth to heaven beside him. He saw the angels doing transactions and communications between heaven and earth.
“Jesus answered, I am the way, and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (John 14.6)
1Timothy 2.5 reads, “For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus.”
Jesus is the ladder of communication between man and earth. He is the only one mediator between heaven and earth, as He is the only one to possess the qualities and nature of both God and man. Not even God, the Holy Spirit or the high priests on earth have this.
Jesus told Nathanael that he would see the angels ascending and descending on the Son of Man.
Through his death and resurrection, believers have continual access to the Father.
Hebrews 19.20-21 says, “…. we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain that is, his body and since we have a great priest over the house of God.”
John 14.6 says, “…. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
Ephesians 2.18 says, “…. through Him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.”
An Open Heaven is not based on our performance; it is secured through Christ.
2. An Open Heaven brings fresh revelation
An illustration would be Nathanael who was promised that he would see open heaven. God desires his people to grow in spiritual understanding and as we walk with Christ, the Holy Spirit opens our eyes to His truth, His Word and His purposes.
Ephesians 1. 17-18 reads, “…. the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened…”
Psalm 119. 18 says, “Open my eyes that I may see wonderful things in your law.”
Open eyes to receive new revelations, new wisdom and new knowledge.
Luke 24.25 says, “Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures.”
‘They’ refers to the disciples on the road to Emmaus.
3. An Open Heaven strengthens God’s people.
Jesus spoke of angels ascending and descending upon the Son of Man. Throughout scripture, angels ministered to God’s servants according to His command. God is working actively behind the scenes for his people, causing visible events to happen on earth. We hear of miraculous escapes from near death situations – we need to attribute them to the timely intervention of angels under God’s command.
Hebrews 1.14 says, “Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?
Psalms 91.11 says, “For He will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways…”
Child of God, personalize this word. He is watchful and has charged his angels to protect you.
Psalms 91.14 reads, “The Lord says, “I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name.”
It’s our duty to draw close to God. Be connected with Him to experience the activities of angels.
2Kings 6. 16-17 says, “…. Those who are with us are more than those who are with them…”
Elisha prayed that God would open the servant’s eyes to believe and accept that God’s multitude of an army was encamped around them to protect them from the enemy’s formidable army. Once his spiritual eyes were open, the servant could see what Elisha could. Nathanael could not see what Jesus could. But Jesus told him he would. It’s just like underground power lines invisible to the naked eye supplying power. Similarly, according to Hebrews 1.14, every born again child of God has been entrusted to angels in the spiritual/invisible realm. They are powerful to protect us in every circumstance.
4. Live under an Open Heaven by remaining in Christ.
The greatest blessing of an open heaven is continual fellowship with God. Christ beckons us to remain in Him every day through continuous prayer, worship, obedience to the Lord, living in the Word; in essence remaining connected with Christ opens heaven over us and we experience angelic operations in our lives.
John 15.4-5 says, “Remain in me, as I also remain in you.”
Colossians 3. 1,2 reads “Set your heart on things above.”
James 4.8 says, “Come near to God and He will come near to you…”
Decide to live in the presence of God.
Let’s pray!
