WHEN HEAVEN OPENS - I See Heaven Open Series 002
II Kings 7:2 , KJV
"Then a lord on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, Behold, if the LORD would make windows in heaven, might this thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof."
When heaven opens, something happens. There's always surplus. It doesn't matter what your history has been. It doesn't matter whether it's been difficult for you to live or put your hands in your mouth. Once heaven opens, it comes to break the back of scarcity and needs in your life. In this story, Elisha declares surplus but is refuted by someone who says, "Could that be if God were to open literal windows in heaven...?"
God would soon prove that He doesn't even need to go that far to get the same ends met. However, why would this man be this a doubter?
That is because the kind of ease and surplus Elisha declared was too fine to be good considering the degree and intensity of famine that has pushed mothers to eat their own children (II Kings 6:29). So, what sort of surplus would happen to restore their times? So, what sort of wind would blow to bring quails for them from the East? So what sort of heaven will open that manna might fall from the sky? These are people who have been shut up in their city probably for months and have tasted hunger first hand. What sort of famine could have happened that once upon neglected goods are now known for their expensiveness?
II Kings 6:25, KJV
"And there was a great famine in Samaria: and, behold, they besieged it, until an ass's head was sold for fourscore pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a cab of dove's dung for five pieces of silver."
Donkeys were considered unclean animals (Lev.11). Even for those who might eat one, the head is the less desirable part. Yet, it was sold for 80 pieces of silver - an extremely high price.
Cow dungs could have been literal birds' droppings used as fuel or certain plants or seeds given that name. Irrespective of what it is, it was something usually worthless that's now being sold for an inflated price.
These two experiences describe the criticality of the famine amidst the cannibalism and death that have been recorded. So, why would anyone think that God would just come to turn their situation around within a jiffy? That Lord had been beaten to a rigid stand point where he begins to believe such a miracle cannot just happen. It is rather wise to say they'll recover little by little, let's say within a space of six months or a year. However, Elisha said, "By this time tomorrow." That's why he called God a liar.
II Kings 7:1, KJV
"Then Elisha said, Hear ye the word of the LORD; Thus saith the LORD, To morrow about this time shall a measure of fine flour be sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria."
So, it became unfathomable for him. You see, he has no eyes of faith and pays dearly for it. God didn't strive to bring the prophecy to pass at all. He proved indeed that such abundance could result without windows being opened literally in heaven though windows still had to be opened. That window becomes Samaria's way of escape.
So, he orchestrated to lift the siege of Syria and make Samaria spoil it. This way, though God didn't open windows literally in heaven, yet this provided abundance proves that God opens metaphoric windows proving that there's nothing God's mouth declares that won't come to pass. If not for the windows opened, what sort of abundance could have suddenly deflated that high rise famine?
I Corinthians 10:13, KJV
"There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it."
I'm hearing, "But will with the temptation make a way of escape that you may be able to bear it." You're having solutions and escapes this morning. As it applies to you, "Receive a way of escape! From your tight spot, hopeless and difficult situation, receive a way of escape. Let a channel be created leading to a solution for you!"
For your sake, there are windows in heaven. Ways of escape are being created for you economically and financially now. For your sake, preparation is being put in place for your breakthrough, promotion and experience of abundance. Something out of the ordinary like the enemy hearing the sound of a multitude of chariots and being misled by it is happening to create your possibilities.
PRAYER: Lord, I receive my way of escape. A way of escape is always created for me in tight corners and even at breaking points.
