Open Heaven 11 July 2020: [Saturday] – Grace to the Humble
Memorise: Humble yourselves therefore under the
mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time. 1st Peter 5:6
Read: Luke 18:10-14 (KJV)
10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a
Pharisee, and the other a publican.
11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God,
I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers,
or even as this publican. You May Also like: Open Heaven – Respond with Love

12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I
possess.
13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up
so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be
merciful to me a sinner. Click here for more The Next Level Open Heaven Daily

One of
the fastest ways to commit spiritual suicide is to believe that you are a giant
in the Christian faith. Believe me, there is no giant in Christianity. Man’s righteousness
is like a filthy rag before the Most Holy One. Many years ago, during a
meditation session at a conference, I fell into a trance in which I found
myself among angels. They were all so pure that you could practically see
through them; then I looked at myself and I was disgustingly filthy. This was
surprising then because I was already a holiness preacher. If anyone had told
me I was that dirty, I would have argued with them, but I could see it for
myself.

Everyone
may see you like a spiritual giant, but don’t be fooled; to God, you are still
a baby. Never come before Him starting all your credentials – “I pay my tithe,
I preach the gospel, I forgive my neighbour… so Lord, You have to hear me.”
That is spiritual pride and God resist s the proud (1st Peter 5:5).
If anyone owes the other anything, you are the one that owes the other
anything, you are the one that owes Him. Tell Him “Lord, please have mercy on
me in this area where I need Your intervention. Remember my dedication to your
Kingdom and please have mercy on me. “When you pray thus, He responds quickly. You May Also like: Open Heaven – Duties of the

David
was a man after God’s heart because he always came humbly before Him. Despite
his achievements and feats for God, he never boasted in His presence. He always
came seeking mercy. That is the kind of man that God can call “A man after my
heart.” You may have done many great and mighty things for God; remember Moses.
Even after all he had done for God, he still did not get to the promised land.
It is only those who remain babies in the hands of God who can reach the
promised land of Heaven. In Matthew 5:3, Jesus said: You May Also like: Open Heaven – Signs of Wonders by
