A Prayer for “Open”ness and “Open”ings

Here’s a prayer for “open”ness and “open”ings:

“OPEN”NESS

Heavenly Father…

Open my Eyes (for perception)

  • Give me vision. Allow me to see concealed things; hidden things.
  • Give me vision to see things that are in “play” but not in “sight.”

Open my Ears (for hearing)

  • Give me ears to hear what the spirit is saying to the church.

Open my Nose (for discernment)

  • Give me a keenness for what’s going on; catching your signs & symbols.

Open my Mind (for thinking)

  • Give me new ways of thinking; new processes of thought.

Open my Spirit (for receiving)

  • That I would not miss anything you’re sending my way, both visible and invisible.

…Increase my “open”ness so I will have new “open”ings. So now I pray for “open”nings.

 “OPEN”INGS

I pray for Open Doors (of opportunities)

  • Grant me new opportunities; cause opportunities to pop-up everywhere.
  • Drop opportunities in my lap.

I pray for Open Gates (that the King of glory may come in)

  • Let nothing hinder your glory; let nothing hider your presence.

I pray for Open Windows

  • That light would come; and fresh air for a fresh walk with You.

I pray for Open Pathways (for divine direction)

  • You said, “The steps of a good man/women are ordered by you.”
  • Show me which steps to take; which way to go; which path to choose.

I ask for Open Portals (for walking in dominion)

  • Grant me new strength; new power.

I pray for Open Streams (for multiple sources of income)

  • Give me new ideas; new connections; new inventions.

Grant me Open Ways (for new directions)

  • Give me new ways of doing things; new approaches.

I pray for Open Territories (for taking new grounds)

  • For property acquisition; for new authority in multiple areas.

I ask for Open Terrains (for the ability to handle challenges)

  • Grant me new wisdom to walk in new authority.
  • Give me the ability to handle difficulties with wisdom and grace.

I pray for Open Access (for entry into new levels)

  • New levels; and new dimensions.

Open me up so concealed things are revealed to me. Open me up where I have new vision and new perception. Let me never be left in the dark again!

AMEN

Concealed Things Reveal Themselves When You Arrive in the Right Place

Maybe it’s not about getting God to reveal things to you but you getting in a place where you can see revealed things.

In 1952 the cure for polio was discovered. However, the cure for polio actually existed prior to 1952 right alongside of polio—but it had to be discovered; it had to be revealed. What cure, what answer, what solution to your problem currently exists right alongside of your problem that you simply need to have revealed to you?

How do you get concealed things revealed to you? The obvious answer would be for you to seek the answers, solutions, and revelation you need. The unobvious answer is to seek the place that gives you the vantage point to see what is being hidden from you.

Not too long ago I was standing outside of a restaurant close to a large tree. A good friend of mine was several feet away from me but I did not know it because the tree was blocking my view of him. He was there but I could not see him. When I took two steps to the left I was surprised to see him standing only ten feet away from me. It was only when I got in the right place that I saw what was there all the time. If you can get in the right place you will be able to see what is there but hidden from you.

Someone from Florida can’t see the city of Detroit until they’ve entered the state of Michigan. There are certain things you will never see if you’re not in the right spiritual state. Maybe it’s not a matter of getting God to reveal things to you but a matter of you getting in a place where you can see revealed things.

How to Get In the Right State:

  1. Rid your mind of all prior thoughts on the matter.
  • If the dilemma still exists that means all the prior thoughts did not produce the solution.
  • Forget about everything that you did to decipher the code in the past. This will allow room for new un-thought thoughts.
  1. Discover the places in your world where you can hear the clearest.
  • It could be a drive into the country, sitting in the patio, on the lake, a walk in the woods, or sitting in the movie theater.
  • Once you discover that place, begin to frequent it for the purpose of hearing and seeing what you can’t hear and see anywhere else.
  • An uncluttered environment is the birthing place for “in”sight.
  1. Open your spirit to new thoughts on the matter that you have never considered.
  • If you’re not ready to record the new information it probably won’t come.
  • There are certain things that God won’t reveal until He knows you’re ready to record them.
  1. Discover what inspires creativity in you.
  • Creativity is attracted to creativity.
  • Go to the places that inspire the most creativity in you.
  • Get in the mindset that you are about to tap into solutions that you have never even considered before.
  1. Worship God as the God of creative power and authority.
  • What you worship Him “as” He will surround you “with.”

 

Your turn! What do you do to get yourself in the place to be able to see what is being hidden from you?

Limit is Simply a Checkpoint at the Border of Your Next Level

Stan Ellis

Stan Ellis

Every level is protected by a barrier. If you haven’t met the qualifications of the next level you will not be allowed into it. Most people want to be promoted without meeting the prerequisites. You’ve seen the sub-par singers auditioning for the popular singing competition on TV. They can’t sing, but they beg the judges to “put them through.” They want a free pass into the next level. The next level always says, “No, come back after you’ve perfected your craft.”

Most people spend more time working on their personal promotion than they do their personal development. The revelation is this—it is unnecessary to seek a title because when you grow to exhibit the focus, creativity, mentality, work-ethic, and results of people who hold that title, people will begin referring to you as the person who has that designation.

So, if you’re encountering limits in your thinking, your spiritual life, your business, your career, or your finances, you are probably approaching the next level. What is limit? “Limit is simply a checkpoint at the border of the next level.” Limit pulls the car of your life over at the border of your next level and asks…

  1. Have you packed your bags?
  • Are you just visiting the next level or do you plan to move there permanently?
  • Did you pack for a season or a permanent move?
  • The next level demands proof that you can handle operating on it before it lets you in.
  1. Sir/Ma’am, do you have a passport?
  • Your passport says you are who you say you are.
  • Are you an imposter—imitating people who are on the next level or have you actually picked up the thought patterns, habits, behaviors, and skills of those who are operating on the next level?
  1. Do you have your itinerary?
  • Where are you going from here?
  • How are you going to get there?
  • What tourist traps have you anticipated?
  1. Do you have the resources to sustain you in this new land?
  • Do you have a tour guide (someone who lives on this level who knows their way around)?
  • Have you considered the food (representative of what will sustain you on this level)?
  • What will be your source of inspiration, revelation, and impartation?
  1. Do you have any contraband with you that are not allowed in the new land?
  • Let me check your trunk (the place where you carry things).
  • Do you have any hidden misconduct that will abort your progress once you get to the next level?
  • Are you hiding any people in there (from your past that you’re trying to carry into your future with you)?

…Limit is simply a check point at the border of your next level. When you become qualified for the next level “it” will let you in. What thoughts does this provoke?

3 Fool-Proof Ways To Get Pregnant With Expectation

Expectation is the current that drives what happens next—current as in an electrical charge. Current speaks of flow and it speaks of power. A current is power that flows. Your expectation is a source of power that creates a flow of resources and events to bring your expectation to pass. Even God moves where He is expected. There are certain things that God wants to do for you that He requires you to pull out of Him with your expectation.

Expectation must be accompanied by preparation.  Preparation is proof of expectation. At some point you must prepare for the things that you are praying for and believing for. If I invite you to dinner and you confirm that you are coming, I will immediately begin preparing for you. It’s proof of my expectation. What are you preparing for right now? It is proof that you expect it to materialize.

Expectancy speaks of likelihood. That’s why they call pregnant women “expecting.” The pregnancy is proof that a baby will soon be delivered. The revelation is this—you have to get pregnant with what it is you are looking for.

3 Fool-Proof Ways to Get Pregnant With Expectation:

  1. Get around someone who has already birthed what you’re seeking to have or become.
  • When you look at your mentor you are looking at a prophecy of your future.
  • A teacher can teach you what they know—a mentor can impart what they’ve become.
  • Impartation is impregnation.
  1. Feed on a constant diet of what you desire to have or be.
  • What feeds you is what will lead you.
  • When you eat of what something is you become like what it is.
  • When you consume enough of what it is you are going after, it will eventually begin pursuing you, and become a part of you. Here’s your chance to legitimately over eat.
  • You will only go as far as the revelation, information, and impartation that’s feeding you.
  • Ask, seek, knock, push, pursue, investigate, chase, hunt, inquire, dig, search, and study.
  1. Become intimate with what it is you’re going after—make some physical contact.
  • Go take a test drive.
  • Call a travel agent and get some details of the country you dream of traveling to.
  • Have a realtor take you through homes like the one that “has your baby kicking.”
  • Ask the person who is already what you hope to become to allow you to accompany them on their next event or engagement.
  • You must touch, taste, and feel what it is you’re going after.

At some point, when it gets big enough…boom!, that which is inside you will have to be birthed.  You will have that baby!!!

On a scale from 1 to 10 (10 being the highest), how would you rate your expectation prior to reading this post? How has this post increased the level of your expectation?
