Next We Pray!
James 5:16 “Admit your faults to one another and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous man has great power and wonderful results.” (LB)
So, the first thing is to Secure Your Next Step and the second thing is to Realize And Embrace The Fact That ‘We Are Better Together’. And our final thought from yesterday was to be generous, not stingy with compliments. Read the rest of this entry
Together
Ecclesiastes 4:9 &12 “Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed… A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken.”
God creates people and puts them in community because we are designed for community. Do you know that the number one problem of man was not sin? The number one problem of man was isolation. Genesis 2:18 “Then the Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper who is just right for him.” Read the rest of this entry
What’s Next?
Acts 8:36-38 “As they rode along, they came to some water, and the eunuch said, “Look! There’s some water! Why can’t I be baptized?” He ordered the carriage to stop, and they went down into the water, and Philip baptized him.”
Everyone has a next step because growth requires movement. You have a next step in your business, in your career, and even in your spiritual life. Your next step could be to get baptized, or your next step could be to go through a spiritual growth class. Read the rest of this entry
Shine Bright
Exodus 20:6 “But I lavish unfailing love for a thousand generations on those who love me and obey my commands.”
So far, we have looked at three out of the four things you need to pay attention to as your light begins to shine. The first is It Is Not About You. Your light shining is not about you. Matt. 5:14: “You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden.” Read the rest of this entry
Heavenly Cover
Ps.91:3-4 “For he will rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease. He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armour and protection.”
When the heavens open, you have clear communication, angels work for you, and you have the different dynamics and different sides of rainfall. Fourthly, you have Protection. Why? It is because open heavens attract attacks. Open heavens can be individualized; Read the rest of this entry
God Can!
2 Kings 7:6-7 “For the Lord had caused the Aramean army to hear the clatter of speeding chariots and the galloping of horses and the sounds of a great army approaching… they panicked and ran into the night, abandoning their tents, horses, donkeys… as they fled for their lives”
As heavens open over us, first, expect Clear Communication With Heaven. Second, expect Angels Will Work For You. Third, expect Rainfall. Rainfall is so huge, when the heavens open there is abundance. God sometimes scares the enemy in an intimidating, dramatic way. Read the rest of this entry
Caution!
Psalm 105:14-16 “Yet he did not let anyone oppress them. He warned kings on their behalf: “Do not touch my chosen people, and do not hurt my prophets.” He called for a famine on the land of Canaan, cutting off its food supply.”
There are some people you should not fight; do not fight God’s children. The Gibeonites were a strong force and they submitted to the Jews. So the king of Jerusalem was threatened by that move. So he called the five Amorite kings and said, let us destroy the Gibeonites and take the Jews. Read the rest of this entry
Secrets, III
Isaiah 22:22 “I will give him the key to the house of David—the highest position in the royal court. When he opens doors, no one will be able to close them; when he closes doors, no one will be able to open them.”
When the heavens open, the first thing to expect is Clear Communication With Heaven. The second thing to expect is Angels Will Work For You. Gen.28:12 “And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it.” (KJV, emphasis added).

Prized Possession
Isa. 49:15-16 “Never! Can a mother forget her nursing child? Can she feel no love for the child she has borne? But even if that were possible, I would not forget you! See, I have written your name on the palms of my hands. Always in my mind is a picture of Jerusalem’s walls in ruins.”
I am confident that the God of heaven, The One that can open, and no one can shut, will open the heavens over your life in the Name of Jesus. It is important for you to say ‘Amen’ because this is like a spiritual transaction. God will do His part, but you have to do your part. Read the rest of this entry
At Midnight
Ex. 12:29 “And that night at midnight, the Lord struck down all the firstborn sons in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn son of Pharaoh, who sat on his throne, to the firstborn son of the prisoner in the dungeon. Even the firstborn of their livestock were killed.”
Our first lesson from Elijah regarding opening heavens is the willingness to do what is required, irrespective of the excuses not to. Our second lesson is Elijah’s power came from God in response to Elijah’s prayer. Our third lesson is everything that is visible and physical, Read the rest of this entry
