The Open Door in Heaven

Last Monday I wrote about my love for the book of Revelation because of the theme of Jesus Christ.  Among other things, in chapter four there is a statement that causes me excitement.  Verse 1: "After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven."

Did your Mother ever tell you, to shut the door.  You left the door open.  Or who left the door open?  It normally is not a good thing to leave a door open because it means our nice cool (or warm) homes will become like the outside, or someone or something from the outside will come into our home that should not belong.

But there was a door open in Heaven.  WOW.  But this is not the first time something in Heaven is open to the believer.  Malachi 3:10 God promises to "open the windows of heaven and pour out for you such blessing that there will not be room enough to receive it."

I just love the thought...Heaven is open.  

There is no feeling of disappointment in going to a restaurant only to arrive to see a "Closed" sign on the door.  There is no feeling of rejection to be closed off from friends or family.  There is no feeling of need due to the source of your answer being shut off from you.

Oh, Heaven is open today!!  Tonight!! Tomorrow!!  All the time!!!  

Heaven is open for us to see Jesus - that is Revelation 4.

Heaven is open for God to pour out blessings on us - that is Malachi 3

Heaven is open for us to come boldly in prayer to find help in time of need - that is Hebrews 4:16

Heaven is open for anyone to look and be saved - that is Isaiah 45:22

Look up - the door and window of Heaven is open today.
