Open Heaven

Open Heavens:

Jesus’ birth was not an accident but it was told by prophets many hundreds of years ago. When Jesus was in the earth He was like one among you and me, He had the same feeling that you have, He was 100% man though He was 100% God. He lived with His parents for 30yrs served them faithfully until His time for ministry had fully come.

Before He started His earthly ministry, Luke 3:21-22: He too went and took baptism from John the Baptist. Why did He take baptism? To fulfill all righteousness Matt 3:15:

What happened after Jesus was baptized?

He prayed: This is the first time it is recorded as Jesus prayed in Luke’s gospel, but He prayed. ‘Jesus being the Son of God prayed!’ So many people have so many definitions about prayer and good bible study notes about prayer. You know what prayer is, you were taught all your life to pray.

What happened when Jesus prayed?

1.      Heavens were Opened:

When Jesus prayed creation responded and was opened, the unusual thing    happened in God’s creation; His prayer had power to influence the creation.

2.      Holy Spirit came on Him:

His prayer had power to bring the Holy Spirit down and fall on Him. When He prayed the Holy Spirit moved.

3.      A voice came from heaven:

When Jesus prayed, God spoke and said, this is my beloved son, whom I love and with Him I am well pleased. Jesus was not introduced by His parents, nor neighbors, nor relatives, or by any man but when He prayed God introduced Jesus to the world and said this is my beloved son.

What happens when you pray?

Suddenly you get a phone call and you are busy answering them or some sister sit for prayer as soon as they sit the cooker in the kitchen whistles, or you will get a knock on your door or some people keep on looking their watch when my clock will finish its one hour race. . . . . .

Why Jesus’ prayer made God to respond and creation to react?

The only reason I see is, Jesus had such a close relationship with God that whenever Jesus said ‘Father’ I believe all the creation must be waiting to act on His words. What makes your prayer powerful is your relation with God.

I pray as you spend time with God in prayer, you too will experience open heavens, and you too will experience the move of the Spirit of God in you and through you and you too will experience God speaking to you and about you to the world.

God Bless you,

With Love,
