THE CONFESSION OF STEPHEN - I See Heaven Open Series 003
"And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God."
You will see heaven opened. When you see heaven open, you immediately beg to differ. When others are thinking on the carnal, you'll be thinking on the spiritual. When others are lost on the physical or ephemeral, you'll be focused and fixated on the spiritual.
Brethren, you must see heaven opened. Stephen saw heaven open and it created a different man of him from those who didn't see heaven opened. When you see heaven opened and the son of man seated at the right hand of God, you lose hold of earthly things and immediately become engulfed, beginning to participate in heavenly conversations. The earthly man majors in the earthly but the spiritual majors in the heavenly.
Stephen's encounter here shocked me to the marrow. Here's a man that's been seized to give account of himself after having been wrongly accused of blasphemy. After his long story, he reaches a juncture where the gyre turns because he was interrupted by a heavenly vision. Immediately, he declared what he saw.
Acts 7:55-56, KJV
"55 But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,
56 And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God."
Did you see? When you're full of the Holy Ghost and others are acting fleshly, your own gaze will rather be to heaven. Rather, you will set the Lord before you, at your right hand and therefore you cannot be moved. While Stephen was seeing heaven and Jesus at the Father's right hand, all the traditional religious leaders saw nor heard anything. They were dead in their sins and couldn't have heaven opened to them. These are backsliders who are petrifying in their sins and persecuting the Way. Guess what their response was.
Acts 7:57-58, KJV
"57 Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord,
58 And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man's feet, whose name was Saul."
Did you see that? While Stephen was seeing and doing something spiritual, they were doing the counter spiritual. May you not be an earthly man. May you be full of the Spirit to see heaven and the Lord Jesus at God's right hand. When others are corrupted, lost, confused, exhibiting carnality, may you exhibit steadfastness in God - maintaining intimacy and communing with Him still.
Brethren, "I see heaven open."
PRAYER/CONFESSION: I beg to differ this morning. I have set the Lord always before me, how then can I be moved?
