Heaven opens to us as we become pure in our intent!

FATHER will open Heaven, whether it be a door, a window, or a tear, to those who are willing to co-labor with HIM to establish HIS Covenant on the earth and extend the territory for The Kingdom.

Jesus spoke in John chapter 1:

47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward Him, and said of him, “Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit!”

48 Nathanael said to Him, “How do You know me?” Jesus answered and said to him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.”

49 Nathanael answered and said to Him, “Rabbi, You are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!”

50 Jesus answered and said to him, “Because I said to you, ‘I saw you under the fig tree,’ do you believe? You will see greater things than these.”

51 And He said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, hereafter you shall see Heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man.”

Jesus saw Nathanael in THE SPIRIT prior to the physical encounter.  What was Nathaniel’s qualification to experience an open Heaven?  He had no deceit or hidden motive in his heart.

A fig tree is a metaphor of GOD’S purpose and destiny coming to fruitfulness, especially as it relates to establishing GOD’S Kingdom on the earth.

It is written by The Holy Spirit concerning the future glory of Zion in Micah chapter 4:

1 Now it shall come to pass in the latter days That the mountain of the LORD’s house Shall be established on the top of the mountains, And shall be exalted above the hills; And peoples shall flow to it.

2 Many nations shall come and say, “Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, To the House of the God of Jacob; He will teach us His ways, And we shall walk in His paths.” For out of Zion the law shall go forth, And the Word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

3 He shall judge between many peoples, And rebuke strong nations afar off; They shall beat their swords into plowshares, And their spears into pruning hooks; Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, Neither shall they learn war anymore. 4 But everyone shall sit under his vine and under his fig tree, And no one shall make them afraid; For the mouth of the LORD of hosts has spoken.

Are you interested in experiencing the Open Heaven in your life?  We must deal with any deceit that still exists among us.  We must remove any and all obstacles that would prevent us from being blameless before THE LORD.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1^st Thessalonians chapter 5:

23-Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

24 He Who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.

You and I are designed to live in an Open Heaven!

HE would like to build an awareness in us of the unseen realities of GOD.

Paul also wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2^nd Corinthians chapter 4:

18 because we don’t focus our attention on what is seen but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but the unseen realm is Eternal.

Once you realize that what you see is temporary, you will have a different perspective of what really matters.  As an example, those who try to hold onto wealth and continually focus on it, have no idea of the impact of such a distraction.  The more Heavenly-minded you are, the more earthly-good you will be.

The natural is the shadow of the Spiritual.  The natural lacks substance whereas the Eternal is forever.  Being aware of an Open Heaven is cultivated by a true worshiper when nobody is watching.

Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 2:

1 On the day Pentecost was being fulfilled, all the disciples were gathered in one place.

2 Suddenly they heard the sound of a violent blast of wind rushing into the house from out of the Heavenly realm. The roar of the wind was so overpowering it was all anyone could bear!

3 Then all at once a pillar of fire appeared before their eyes. It separated into tongues of fire that engulfed each one of them.

4 They were all filled and equipped with the Holy Spirit and were inspired to speak in Tongues—empowered by the Spirit to speak in languages they had never learned!

Power came from one world, Open Heaven, and filled another world, the earth.

It is written by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 1:

7 And about his angels he says, “I make My angels swift winds, and My ministers fiery flames.”

Quoting Psalm 104:4 You make Your messengers into winds of the Spirit, and all Your ministers become flames of fire.

At Pentecost, the angels descended and ascended between two worlds through an opening known as a gate of Heaven.  Open Heaven is here whether you realize it or not.

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 5:

8 “What bliss you experience when your heart is pure! For then your eyes will open to see more and more of God.

In the coming days, we will focus on becoming blameless, spirit, soul, and body, so that we can fully experience Open Heaven.

We desire to live in an Open Heaven every day!

We are intended to operate in the unseen realities of GOD.  What you can see is temporal whereas what you can’t see is Eternal. 

The “House of God” is a gate because it is “built on the edge of two worlds” and is “by design a gate between those two realities”.  A gate is where you pass from one reality to another.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2^nd Corinthians chapter 4:

18 because we don’t focus our attention on what is seen but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but the unseen realm is Eternal.

Matthew recorded by The Holy Spirit in Matthew chapter 27:

50 And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His Spirit.

51 Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split,

52 and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised;

53 and coming out of the graves after His resurrection, they went into the Holy city and appeared to many.

54 So when the centurion and those with him, who were guarding Jesus, saw the earthquake and the things that had happened, they feared greatly, saying, “Truly this was the Son of God!”

Heaven opened up and a violent tearing of the temple veil and rocks occurred.  This is a parallel to the Heavens being “torn open” at Jesus’ baptism.  Throughout His earthly ministry, The Holy Spirit rested on Jesus.

Jesus spoke in John chapter 6:

53 Then Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the Flesh of the Son of Man and drink His Blood, you have no Life in you.

54 Whoever eats My Flesh and drinks My Blood has Eternal Life, and I will raise him up at the last day.

55 For My Flesh is food indeed, and My Blood is drink indeed.

56 He who eats My Flesh and drinks My Blood abides in Me, and I in him.

57 As the Living Father sent Me, and I Live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will Live because of Me.

58 This is the Bread which came down from Heaven-not as your fathers ate the manna, and are dead. He who eats this Bread will Live forever.”

Jesus referred to what we know as Holy Communion.  How often did FATHER provide manna (bread from Heaven) to the children of Israel?  Daily.  Yes, there were two portions allowing for the Sabbath.  So, they ate daily Bread from Heaven.

How often did the early church partake of Holy Communion?  Daily.

Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 2:

46 So continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart, 47 praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved.

My wife and I take Holy Communion daily, before breakfast.  It is by revelation, not by duty.

By taking Holy Communion daily, we encourage an Open Heaven as a reality in our household.  Jesus Christ is at the forefront of our consciousness every day.

We are intended to live in an Open Heaven!

We are intended to operate in the unseen realities of GOD.  What you can see is temporal whereas what you can’t see is Eternal. 

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2^nd Corinthians chapter 4:

18 because we don’t focus our attention on what is seen but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but the unseen realm is Eternal.

We are to partner with HIM, carry HIS Name, carry HIS Presence into redemptive purpose to restore this planet to GOD’S Divine Intent.  That assignment has not changed.

“Open Heaven” is a Biblical theme, signifying a direct connection between God’s reality and Earth. If is found throughout Scripture.  FATHER placed man in the Garden of Eden and humanity was assigned to co-labor and extend God’s rule onto the earth. 

Inside the Garden was light and outside the Garden was chaos and darkness.  Their assignment was to subdue the earth.

Moses recorded by The Holy Spirit in Genesis chapter 1:

28 And God blessed them in His Love, saying, “Reproduce and be fruitful! Populate the earth and subdue it! Reign over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and every creature that lives on earth.”

The word subdue means to take dominion or to control in an appropriate fashion to release the greatest potential to benefit GOD’S highest creation: humankind.  FATHER chose man made in HIS Image, the honor to subdue the earth.

Moses recorded by The Holy Spirit in Genesis chapter 28:

10 Now Jacob went out from Beersheba and went toward Haran.

11 So he came to a certain place and stayed there all night, because the sun had set. And he took one of the stones of that place and put it at his head, and he lay down in that place to sleep.

12 Then he dreamed, and behold, a ladder was set up on the earth, and its top reached to Heaven; and there the angels of God were ascending and descending on it.

Heaven was opened to Jacob!

13 And behold, the LORD stood above it and said: “I am the LORD God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac; the land on which you lie I will give to you and your descendants.

14 Also your descendants shall be as the dust of the earth; you shall spread abroad to the west and the east, to the north and the south; and in you and in your seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed.

15 Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land; for I will not leave you until I have done what I have spoken to you.”

16 Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, “Surely the LORD is in this place, and I did not know it.”

17 And he was afraid and said, “How awesome is this place! This is none other than the House of God, and this is the gate of Heaven!”

What is a gate?  It is a separator between two realities.  You are on one side or the other… in or out, up or down.

Jesus gave His disciples (and us) a very specific responsibility.

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 6:

9 Pray like this: ‘Our Beloved Father, dwelling in the Heavenly realms, may the glory of Your Name be the center on which our lives turn.

10 Manifest Your Kingdom realm, and cause Your every purpose to be fulfilled on earth, just as it is in Heaven.

We are to represent HIM and HIS World here on earth.  We have a mandate to bring forth Heaven to earth.  HE is well pleased with those who accept this responsibility.  As we immerse ourselves in being bound by THE SPIRIT, we will realize that Heaven is open for our access.
