Today's Word of Blessing

OPEN HEAVENPaul Dhinakaran

And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.    (Matthew 28:20)

Dearly beloved, the Bible says, “But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked up to heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. 'Look,' he said, 'I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God'” (Acts 7:55,56).

About Stephen, the Bible says, “All who were sitting in the Sanhedrin looked intently at Stephen, and they saw that his face was like the face of an angel” (Acts 6:15). Stephen could see an open heaven (Acts 7:56).

In the same way, the Lord will open heaven for you in order to prove that you are not an orphan, and the Spirit of wisdom will descend upon you. The Bible says that everything has been decided even before the creation of the world (Hebrews 4:3).

When He opens heaven for you, He will open your eyes for you to see the blessings He has in store for you. All the decisions of the Lord emanate from the crucifixion of Christ and His precious blood. The Lord grants you His wisdom for you to know what will happen in this world. That is why He said, “Surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age” (Matthew 28:20).

The Jesus Calls ministry is functioning for the past 50 years. Whenever we face problems and difficulties in the ministry as well as in our personal lives, we would not know what to do. At such times, suddenly the heaven would open and Lord Jesus would appear through the Holy Spirit. He would counsel us saying, “Do not worry about anything. You do this in such a way in the ministry/Karunya University/Seesha/family.”

He would also fill us with His wisdom to accomplish what He had said. Whenever we go for Jesus Calls Prayer Festivals, the Lord would come down graciously and bless thousands of people. He also protects our family. Above all, He makes people come in search of us from all over the world, and through them we receive much love. Thousands of people write to us every day. Some of them write to us to know God’s will in their lives.

Once a person wrote, “Brother, I have received a job offer from Europe. They have promised to pay me so many thousand euros as salary. I have another offer from Australia. They have also promised a good salary for me. Please let me know God’s will in this matter.” I humbled myself and prayed sincerely to God for Him to reveal His will in the matter. The Holy Spirit graciously opened my eyes. Whatever he told me, I wrote to that brother.

I wrote, “Please take up this particular job. The other one will not be suitable for you. Although the salary is more in that job, it will not be a permanent one.” He also obeyed the Word of God and took up the job mentioned by me. What a wonder! Within a few days, the company that offered him more salary was closed, whereas in the present company he got a promotion. When I came to know about it, I was greatly thrilled and glorified God.

When heaven is open for us, the Spirit of wisdom gives us counsel in order to lead blessed lives in this world and makes our faces radiant. The Lord will grant you the Spirit of wisdom and He will open your eyes also. Then you will be a blessing in your family, work spot, city and the nation, and through that you will know that the Lord is with you. You will live long and bring the power of God upon others.

Prayer:

Loving Lord Jesus,

You are the Wonderful Counselor. I seek your divine counsel. Fill me with your heavenly wisdom. Give me counsel in order to lead a blessed life in this world. Open my eyes for me to see the blessings You have in store for me. Give me the grace to accomplish your will.

I ask this through Christ our Lord.

Amen.
