MAINTAINING OPEN HEAVENS
John 1:51 NKJV: 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.“
What then is an “open heaven”?
It is a clear channel in the heavenlies through which your prayers, spoken with your words and thoughts, can be answered without satanic hindrance or delay.
In the books of Daniel and Revelation, it is revealed that a spiritual battle takes place in the heavenlies between the angels of God and satanic angels (Dan.10:12-13).
We need open heavens over our lives so that the kingdom or the dominion of God can be manifest in our lives and the will of God can be done on earth as it is in heaven.
When your angels prevail over satanic angels in the heavenlies and so can freely bring the answers to your prayers in a specific area without hindrance or delay you are living under an open heaven in that area.
So, you need open heavens over your wife or husband (if you are married), children, health, finances, protection, physical vocation and spiritual ministry.
How then do we get open heavens?
– By spiritual violence in spiritual warfare through love and prayer.
Matt 11:12 NKJV: And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.
– We daily put on the whole armour of God (Eph.6:10-12), which is the armour of love since God is love (1Jn. 4.8).
1 Corinthians 13:1 NKJV: Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.
With this armour in place, we then proceed to enter into regular, diligent prayer in the spirit with all types of prayer, through which our angels will overcome satanic angels in the heavenlies to create open heavens (Eph.6:13-19).
– Also we need to give our tithes and offerings regularly to maintain open heavens (Mal. 3:10).
So by daily as a habit walking in divine love and regular, diligent prayer in the spirit and prompt, regular giving of tithes and offerings we maintain open heavens.
