FOR YOUR EQUIPPING - I See Heaven Open Series 004
"And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:"
Some will experience a closed heaven even after praying or doing one spiritual exercise or the other. God will not just accept them. He will not accept their prayers let alone affirm it by releasing a manifestation or answer to endorse the act they've done before Him.
After the prophets of Baal had been killed and Mount Carmel revival had resulted, Elijah gave one response to Ahab. He said, "Go thy way lest the rain stop you." Their answer came in the rain that was gathering to pour. Their closed heaven is about to open and pour down God's blessings now.
"And it came to pass at the seventh time, that he said, Behold, there ariseth a little cloud out of the sea, like a man's hand. And he said, Go up, say unto Ahab, Prepare thy chariot, and get thee down, that the rain stop thee not."
Their long awaited answer had come. They had sacrificed to God, fire had fallen and had consumed their sacrifice. God has accepted their work. It was such an answer - a massive one, trodding and coming on its way that Elijah warned that Ahab should move on. There's no time God answers people that there's no manifestation to show for it. May God accept your work also. Else, you may not be able to rejoice and dance.
"Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart; for God now accepteth thy works."
You see, certain things happen when God has accepted one's work, offering or act of piety to Him. We'll consider Cornelius later in this series but let's settle on Jesus' baptism.
When God accepted the act of Jesus' baptism here, He testified of it with a proof and a manifestation. He sent the Spirit in the form of a dove, bodily descending on Jesus. The heavens opened and the Spirit of God descended on Jesus. That's another manifestation of an open heaven. The Spirit is given, poured or given for your equipping. At this time, a man is no longer alone or ordinary. He has God's presence with Him.
May God accept your work, act, practice, prayer. When He does, you'll see its manifestations. Heaven will open for you, even on you and you will receive answers and testimonies. What you will also hear might be a voice saying, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased" (Matthew 3:17, KJV).
It means the person of Jesus is accepted before God. Didn't you read, "This is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased." When God is pleased with you, irrespective of what your act is before Him, it will be received and testified of. The release of the anointing and the voice that testifies to John of Jesus all proves that God accepted Jesus and His act of baptism. Is this who you are? Are you working your life in line with God's will or against His revealed will, the Bible?
PRAYER: I am accepted in Jesus Christ. When I call, He answers me. When I pray, I secure open heavens. I am not alone. The Spirit is upon me.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Leviticus 16:29-18:30, Mark 7:24-8:10, Psalm 41:1-13, Proverbs 10:15-16
