There are many people who have read
the word of God, have remarkable insights into the scriptures through quoting
and teaching it well. But when it comes to manifestation of these scriptures
within their lives, the representation of these scriptures within their lives,
the representation of those things that they know and understand is not evident
in their lives. We find out t
For instance, in the book of
Genesis, when Jacob went into Laban’s house; Laban said to him that he has
learnt through experience that since he came into his household, all his cattle
have multiplied and he has prospered for Jacob’s sake. Jacob did things in
Laban’s house that up till now no one can explain. The scripture tells us in
the book of second Samuel 14 vs 20 that a man can possess the wisdom that only
belongs to angels who know all things upon the earth. That is how far the
ministry of angels can take us when we allow it. And he lighted upon a certain
place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took of the
stones of that place, and put them for his pillows, and lay down in that place
to sleep. And he dreamed, and beholds 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.
And, behold, the Lord stood above
it, and said, I am the Lord God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac:
the land where on thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed (Gen. 28
vs 11-13). Furthermore as a result of Jacobs experience in the above scripture
he had open heavens upon his life. God made some powerful pronouncement over
his life. These are pronouncements that will hold in the life of anybody who understands
how to keep on open heaven; where angels have the ability to go up and down.
This is because if you don’t have this access the angels become hindered in
their operations within your life. So theoretically speaking you can read the
word of God which says he will give His angels charge over you and that
scripture may not manifest in your life. Angels are all ministering spirits
sent forth to minister and they hearken unto the word. When you speak the word
of God and you do not have the tangible manifestation of these ministering
spirits within your life.
It simply means you are experiencing
closed heaven. This is a situation where you do not see your confessions coming
to pass and your word being honoured upon the earth. What has happened in the
life of such an individual is that he is experiencing what is called a
restricted the person understanding what it means to have an open heaven over
their life. Thus, there is a concept in the scripture called “open heavens’ and
as Christians, we must endeavor to pray it over our lives daily. In the
scriptures we are told that when Jesus was going to be baptized by John the
Baptist, the heavens were opened over Him. The reason the heavens were opened
over Jesus was because He was praying when he went in for His Baptism.
Prayer opens up the heaven and
allows this free flow of angelic activities. And if the bible tells us the
heavens were opened, it means prior to that time the heavens was obviously
closed therefore, it means you can have what is called the closed heaven and
the opened heaven over the life of a person. for Jesus to pray, we can see that
prayer is the way and manner in which we can open up the heavens over our
lives. Therefore, as believers we must take our prayer life seriously if we
want to get any tangible results. For without it, nothing we want done will
ever be done the way God has planned it in our lives. So in order to remain in
the purpose of God for our lives we must pray it out to experience open heavens
and angelic activities within our environment.
