Open Heavens With Holy Disturbance
Contributed by Daniel Olukoya on Jan 24, 2005 (message contributor)
Summary: God knows the secret plan of the things He will do for the world, using your hands, therefore if God is your partner make your plans BIG.
Stephen too saw heavens open in
“And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God”.
This is to show that the issue of open heavens is not new.
The greatest song of failure that anyone could sing is, “what is gonna be is gonna be, there is nothing you can do about it”. I hope that is not your song. God can do something about anything at any time. For God to pour down His blessings upon you, so that you will have no room to contain it, the windows of heaven have to open. When God gets fed up with His enemies and He wants to pour down His wrath upon them, the heavens will open as in the time of Noah.
When heavens open unto you, power will descend. Whatever you put out for sale, will sell and it will be your product that everybody will be looking out for. Favour will bombard your way. Your success will be guaranteed and your enemies will bow.
A farmer came to one of our meetings one day. He came to see me and l gave him a bottle of anointing oil. He did not tell me what he had in mind. He had been seeing feaces in his farm and this made his harvest poor.
That year, on getting to his farm one day, he saw heaps of feaces again he ran back home to bring the oil. He poured a few drops on each heap and left. The following morning, the head of the herbalist came to meet him, prostrating and begging to be kept alive. He said it was he whom had been defecating on the man’s farm. That year, no yam rotted away; his harvest was buoyant. Heavens were opened unto him.
When heavens open unto you, you will write the obituary of your goliath. David told him that his head would go off his neck that very day, that God would give it unto him
“This day will the Lord deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcasses of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel”.
When the heavens open unto you, God begins to honour you and you will have divine approval. Your marriage comes alive, stubborn family members become stubbornly born again.
I remember a woman who came for counseling, her husband always beat her. When she prayed a series of prayers, God made her heavens to open and He touched the heart of her husband. This man now over showered her with love, that she started finding it embarrassing.
Another woman complained about her husband and when she started praying, she was warned of the things that might be difficult to understand and bear, that could happen.
One day, her husband was accused of manslaughter and was imprisoned. After hearing a message in the prison, he surrendered his life to Christ and became a new man.
When heavens open unto you, breakthroughs will bombard you left right and centre.
PRAYERS THAT TEAR HEAVENS OPEN
1. Prayers from a holy heart.
2. Those, that take hold of God’s strength.
3. Those that have fire and power.
4. Those that turn the enemies against each other and themselves and turns their weapon against them.
