1. Understanding the power of prayer to open the Heavens

2. Understanding the implication of an open Heaven

The impact of prayer is practically unquantifiable in the life of the child of God (Gen. 19:27; 28:12; 32:24-28; Ex. 32:32 1 Kings 17:1; Eph. 6:18; 1Thess. 5:17; 1Cor. 14:18; Dan. 6:10)

There is a limit to what a child of God can become or achieve in the Hands of God without a solid life of prayer

WHAT IS THE IMPACT OF PRAYER?

1. Prayer is doorway to open Heavens (Luke 3:21; Matt. 3:16)

1a. The Heavens will always open over the head of the one who prays

1b. It is possible for the Heavens to be open over one person and not over another person in the same vicinity

1c. Spiritual activity is only impactful to the extent of the prayer investment into it

IMPLICATIONS OF OPEN HEAVENS:

i. Open Heavens usher in the rain from Heaven and the flood in the earth (Gen. 7:11-12)

When you walk under open heavens you function inside the rain; you are mobile irrigation, revival in motion

ii. Open Heavens usher in angelic and celestial traffic (Gen. 28:12; John 1:51)

Anywhere a person with open heavens steps, angelic activity is very high

iii. Open Heavens usher in supernatural supplies (Ps. 78:23-24; Deut. 28:12; Mal. 3:10-11)

A person of prayer is a person of supernatural supplies

iv. Open Heavens usher in visions, directions and revelations (Ezek. 1:1; Luke 3:21-22; Acts 10:11; Rev. 4:1; Acts 7:56)

A person of open Heavens is a person of open eyes and open ears

Revelations of the Spirit and of the Word flow with open Heavens

As you pray and fast, God will speak to you; if it is not through visions or revelations, go into the Word of God and He will speak to you through His Word

v. Open Heavens usher in the Ministry of the Holy Spirit (Luke 3:21-22; John 15:26)

Men and women of prayer are men and women of the Spirit

The Holy Spirit is the Comforter

Comforter in Greek is the Word ‘Parakletos’

i. Intercessor (Rom. 8:26)

ii. Stand-by

iii. Strengthener (Judg. 14:6; Deut. 34:7)

iv. Advocate

v. Helper

vi. Consoler

vii. Counsellor/Adviser

1. Accept personal responsibility for your prayer life

Prayer must become a matter of personal adventure

Never allow your prayer life to revolve around the actions or inactions of others

The prayer anyone is praying for you only came to amplify and multiply the effect of your own prayer life

2. Determine to maintain an unashamed and unapologetic prayer life (Dan. 6:10; 1Sam. 2:30b; Mark 8:38)

Don’t apologise for being spiritual

When you come to the point where the opinion of people don’t matter anymore then you are at the point where the opinion of God will begin to matter in your life

3. Determine to make a very solid prayer investment into every worthwhile venture of life

Anything that is worth it, robe it with prayer

Anything that is worth it, birth it in prayer
