An Open Heaven

Faith & patience

First, by faith and patience. The times and seasons belong to the Lord. There is sovereignty in the timing of God that is beyond our control. There are always divine delays in the fulfilment of the promise. Abraham was called to hold onto the promise for twenty-five years before it was finally realised:

And we desire each one of you to show the same earnestness to have the full assurance of hope until the end, so that you may not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he had no one greater by whom to swear, he swore by himself, saying, “Surely I will bless you and multiply you.” And thus Abraham, having patiently waited, obtained the promise.

Hebrews 6:11–15 ESV

Entering the full experience of an open heaven whether personally, as a ministry, or as the larger body of Christ is dependent on the Father’s own timetable; seasons of provision and destiny-realisation are determined by him. But in the meantime we press into God as we wait with faith and patience.
