We look to people or situations, or money and think that is where God will bless us. Prayer is real and it works! Meditate on these verses to strengthen your faith: James ; Matthew ; Mark ; Luke ; John ; ; 1 John ; Jesus knew at the moment of His baptism, from which He would begin His public ministry, and which would take Him to the Cross, that what He needed was not on earth. It was with the Father in heaven. What you need is not of earthly origin. It is in heavenly places in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Is heaven opened to you? If not, the key to unlock its doors is prayer. The answers to our problems will not be found in the things of this world. All of the blessings of God are in and with the Spirit of God. The Spirit of God is the promise of the Gospel Acts The devil can destroy our works, our bodies, and our achievements, but he can never take from us the things of the Spirit. And you need to hear His voice so you can be guided.
Just one word and God will say, "No, no, turn right, no turn left. No, go straight! No, stop! I must hear! I mean, not, not a prophet said…but you heard? Open my ears O Lord Open my ears O Lord!
I am ready to obey… You know one of the joys of hearing from God yourself is that nobody will be able to deceive you. May God open your ears today! May God open your ears today. How could anybody think that anyone will come here with charms? Now when God called Moses. And there is something more than that —it is a divine relationship , a friendship, suddenly developed.
When the Englishman calls you by your first name that means, now we are friends. Moses So-So-So. God called Moses by his first name and Moses said, "Here am I. And God said unto him, remove your shoes because where you are is holy ground. I am confident that the homes of some people will become holy grounds this year.
How do I know? Because God is going to visit us. You know that wherever God is becomes holy ground. If you are willing to pay the price, God is willing to dwell in your home. What is the price? But if you will just invite Him into your home. Remember if He comes into your home there must be no more quarrelling. No more blasphemy, no more cursing. All these rules and regulations — they are too many.
Wherever God dwells, demons cannot dwell there, sorrow cannot dwell there, sickness cannot dwell there. I mean where God dwells And then Mummy prayed and the pain continued for a while. Suddenly God gave the girl an inspiration and she said, Mummy, please let me sleep where Daddy sleeps. The spot where he sleeps, let me sleep there by your side. She slept there and instantly, the miracle happened. Where God dwells power would dwell there. How many of you want God in your home.
And in the Bible tells us that God dwells in the house of a man called Obed Edom — for 3 months. God blessed him. But then news came to David that God is blessing the house of Obed Edom.
This man was hardly finding enough food to eat. All of a sudden he has become a multi-millionaire in 3 months! I want to take Him back to my house! How many of you want God in your house? And then God said to Moses, I have heard the cry of my people. You see when heavens open, prayers are heard, answers will come. Many a time we had prayed and the answer had not gone beyond the roof because the heavens were closed but now the heavens are open.
In , the Bible says this poor man cried and God heard him and delivered him out of his troubles. God that answers prayer, hear my prayers. God will hear the prayers of somebody today. So God said to Moses, I have heard the cry of my people and have come to deliver them.
Today the Almighty God will set the captives free. But then God went on to say, Moses, Moses! Where you are is holy ground. Now come and I will send you. So whenever heavens open there could be divine commissioning. There are people that God would send this year. Whether you like it or not some of you are going this year. Some of you are going to Iraq. Some of you are going to Iran.
Some of you are going to Kuwait. Some of you are going to Egypt. Some of you are going to China. Some of you are going all over the world! With power. He will back you up. He will support you. Now some of you may not go far away from Nigeria. Some of you will be going back to your village, to win the souls there. Some of you are going there to destroy all the idols there.
Some of you are going to bring the light of Jesus Christ into your town this year. The Lord said, joy shall be returned to a particular home today. Who am I to go against Pharaoh? I have a stick in my hand, Pharaoh is the mighty king of the world. Partnership in business, partnership in education, partnership in the home, partnership in ministry. You know the Bible says in , it said, if God be for us who can be against us.
In , God said, "No man will be able to stand against you all the days of your life because as I was with Moses so shall I be with you. Everywhere your footstep shall tread upon. How many of you will go along with me? It is time for you to cross over to your destiny. I created you so that you can be a deliverer of my people. I trained you for forty years in the University of Pharaoh.
I trained you for forty years in the university of the desert. Now the time has come. The time to cross over to your destiny has come. I have visited you.
I have spoken to you. Time to cross over! Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of my enemies. All the past Holy Ghost Service he had used them to prepare the table.
It is time to eat, it is time to cross over to my destiny whether the devil likes it or not my day has come Say it loud and clear! He said: You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. Time for Adeboye to enjoy has come. One is preaching, the other is interpreting. I said the time for Adeboye to enjoy has come. My days of sorrows are over! Now I want you to talk to the Almighty God. You see after the heavens opened for Israel and they began to march towards the Promised Land.
Let them open now! Every Red Sea across my path. Let them open now In the mighty Name of Jesus! Let every Red Sea open now Father, that I may be able to march on undisturbed. To the Promised Land. To the anointing, the power, the glory, the miracles, the signs and wonders that you have already stored for me, waiting Lord God Almighty!
Glory be to Your Holy Name Lord! Now after the children of Israel crossed the Red Sea all the enemies that were pursuing them were swallowed up. I want you to open your mouth and pray — All the enemies that have been pursuing me. Open your mouth and pray! Let the Red Sea swallow them. That my deliverance may be complete. That my freedom might be total.
That my joy may be full. Thank You my Father. After the children of Israel crossed the Red Sea the next thing they discovered was that the water they wanted to drink was bitter. But then God performed a miracle and their bitter waters became sweet. I want you to open your mouth, brethren. I appeal to you, call on the Almighty -: Every bitter waters left in my life, change them to sweet.
Wipe away my tears. Father, change my sorrow to joy! Change my sorrow to joy! Every bitter waters left in my life change them to sweet waters! Oh yes Father, You can do it! Every bitter water in my life change to sweet! My failure to success! My Lord and my God, do something, do something Father! Change my bitter waters to sweet. Purify Your Holy Name thereby Lord! Very soon they had no food to eat and God sent manna from heaven.
I qualify for manna — supernaturally! Provide for my needs — from above O Lord! Provide for my needs! Lord send down manna from heaven! My heavens are open now. I am Your son. This is central to God in His economy: He wants to be expressed and represented on earth through a corporate person.
The entire chapter 1 in Ezekiel consummates with a rainbow, as the bright and radiant expression of the man on the throne. For God to have such a corporate expression on earth moving with Him and expressing and representing Him, we need to have certain crucial and indispensable experiences, as indicated by the wind, the cloud, the fire, and the electrum.
How mysterious, how wonderful, how practical, and how glorious! I am looking forward to getting into the depths of Ezekiel 1 with the help of the ministry, having my being open to the Lord, so that I may receive something according to the present situation and grow in life to be built up with the saints into His corporate expression! Seeing visions of God means having revelations of the spiritual, divine, and heavenly things, and this requires an open heaven. We need to be those like Ezekiel, who are exercised to be one with the Lord, seek Him, and contact Him, so that we may have an open heaven and see visions of God.
We need to be the Ezekiels of today, those who are open to the Lord, seeking the Lord , contacting the Lord, and being one with the Lord. God is not arbitrary; He is sovereign, he decides when to open the heavens and what to reveal, but we need to be people today who are open to the Lord and qualified to receive visions of God. We need to tell the Lord,. Lord Jesus, I am willing to see whatever You want to show me.
I am willing to hear anything You want to speak to me. I am willing for You to touch anything in my being, any aspect of my life, that will cause me to be more open to You! On my part, Lord, I am open to You! I exercise to be one spirit with You. I want to contact You and seek You. I pray that Your heart would be duplicated in my heart, so that I would be fully one with You!
Ezekiel was a unique person: if you read the book of Ezekiel you will realize that with this dear prophet there is nothing of the self, no self-interest or self-concern. Ezekiel was released from the prison of the self: he was in ecstasy, he stood outside of himself. He was a person whom the Spirit could lift out of himself. He was made a sign to the people of Israel.
