The Free Flow of Angelic Activities 2

The Free Flow of Angelic Activities 2
 
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 those things that they know and understand is not evident in their lives. We find out that the amount of knowledge that they have of what is happening in their lives does not justify the amount of knowledge they have received. And in cases like this, one can conclusively say that the individual is operating either under a closed heaven or the heavens are opened partially. So there is no sufficient opening over the life of that individual to have an unhindered flow of angelic activities.
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 14vs20 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 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. 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 whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed (Gen28vs11-13). 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 an 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 harken 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 movement of angels. This can happen without 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.

Updated: Don’t Bind the Brook, Don’t Rebuke the Ravens - Simple Lesson in Obedience

  Over the years I have come to understand the place of simple obedience to the instructions of God, and the huge difference it could make in one’s life. I have also come to see how easy believers can be in disobedience, yet be able to cover up with some form of spiritual activity, then in the end attempt to pass on the responsibility for their failures on God.   This can possibly account for one of the biggest reasons why there are believers who seem not to be making progress in life in spite of their seeming spirituality. The situation is even more compounded when older believers who should set the example for younger believers fall into this group. The implication is that there will be a generation of young believers who cannot seem to find the proper alignment between the Christian faith and being productive in life.   The story of the prophet Elijah in 1 Kings 17, clearly illustrates my point.  The Word of the Lord had come to the prophet to camp by the bro...

Two Things to Avoid to be Prosperous

He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster. Prov.18:9 (KJV) In my last piece, I talked about the importance of finding your place, and staying there to command God’s Blessing. I emphasized the importance of staying power in whatever God has called you to do or committed to your hands. In this piece, I will seek to drive the conversation further, talking about two wrong attitudes that will greatly hinder the Blessing of God from finding expression in your life. Our text says the slothful is brother to a great waster, this is a very dangerous company indeed, and always a disaster waiting to happen. These two characters can never prosper and attain God’s highest Blessing. You may be working hard and making mistakes, but you must keep at it because, the man who tries and make mistakes will command the Blessing far more than the man who is slothful. God hates laziness! Laziness can disguise in many ways; a person can be spiritually lazy, and that...

Be an Influential Witness

A witness is a person who testifies to events or facts within his own knowledge. It means that once you have encountered Jesus and accepted Him as Saviour and Lord of your life, you are automatically a witness for Jesus.  My goal in this short piece is not to show again that God is reconciling the world to Himself through us, but to show that we can genuinely influence others for the Lord by being excellent in everything we do. What many are doing is direct evangelizing, and this is great, because that has its place as an important part of being a witness, but Jesus didn’t just say we shall evangelize to the world, rather He said that we shall be witnesses. Acts. 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. (KJV) So, what does it mean to be a witness in this sense? It is to let your life reflect the very essence of Jesus, ...
