PRAYER OPENS HEAVEN

-



Luke 3: 21 “Now when all the people were baptized, and when Jesus also had been baptized and was praying, the heaven was opened”

After baptism Jesus did not go home but He prayed. When you are baptized, don’t go and sleep, it is a time of prayer. After baptism pray and heaven will be opened. The heaven did not open because Jesus was the son of God but because He prayed.

What is prayer?

Prayer is a request/ strong argument and not murmuring or crying. When you take your request before God, you open up heaven for you. We see in Luke, heaven did not open up to everyone but only to Jesus because He was praying. God hears even the prayers of a little child. Heaven will be opened to you when God looks at your heart and see your desire for Him by how you have prepared to receive and not because you come to church.

Baptism is a sign of repentance. For you to be heard you must repent. Jesus was baptized to show that repentance is important for prayers to be heard. Salvation is not how you speak in tongue but how you command the gates of hell. You carry the image of Christ and you are created in His likeness therefore devil cannot say anything against you. For you to command the gates of hell you must be sure of your relationship with Jesus.

Love God, and He will show you His ear of mercy because He loves you.

Who then is the greatest enemy of our lives? THE GREATEST ENEMY OF YOUR LIFE IS; your MIND and BODY. Satan is just the second enemy after your Mind and Body. Whatsoever that you need in your life is possible; whether you want to be great, rich, intelligent or poor, or a witch. Everything is possible with God; whatever you need he will bring assistance to help you have it. If you want to be the Lord’s vessel and servant, he will bring people to you who will teach you and help you to know how to serve God. If you want to be rich he will bring people towards you who will hold you and enable you to become rich. If you want to be poor, he will bring people to you who will give you stories about poverty and how sweet it is to be poor. God has the ability to give you whatever you want in l...

Mithali 8:17-21 "Nawapenda wale wanipendao, na wale wanitafutao kwa bidii wataniona. Utajiri na heshima ziko kwangu, Naam, utajiri udumuo, na haki pia. Matunda yangu hupita dhahabu, naam, dhahabu safi, na faida yangu hupita fedha iliyo teule. Natembea katika njia ya haki, katikati ya mapito ya hukumu. Niwarithishe mali wale wanipendao, tena nipate kuzijaza hazina zao." Proverbs 8: 17-21 "I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me. Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness. My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver. I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment: That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures."
