We often hear the term ‘open heavens,’ but if you are in Christ, you already live under an open heaven. It cannot be more open than it already is! However, even though you are in Christ and under an open heaven at all times, this reality isn’t automatically manifested. The Bible is filled with promises, covenants, and blessings—but are we receiving everything? Your faith is crucial because it connects you to glory.
You are under an open heaven, but faith makes it tangible. It’s not about asking God to open the heavens; they are already open. You need to connect by faith to the breakthrough that is available to you. In John 7, Jesus says, ‘If you believe in me, as the Scriptures say, out of your belly rivers of living water will flow.’ The rivers are already inside you. The key is allowing them to flow. This release happens when you activate your faith and connect to the realities of heaven—to the King, His kingdom, His covenant, His blessings, and His provision.
Isaiah 53 states, ‘Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?’ If you don’t believe God’s report, you won’t see His mighty arm in action. Faith is essential. Instead of exhausting yourself praying, ‘Lord, open the heavens,’ shift your perspective. Instead, ask, ‘Lord, stir my faith.’ Paul told Timothy to stir the gift within him. The gift is already given, the blessings are already given. Ephesians 1 declares that we are already blessed with every spiritual blessing. You are not going to be blessed—you are blessed. You are healed. It is already finished in Christ.
Faith is a matter of trust. Is your mind renewed, or are you exhausting yourself because of a wrong perspective? You need a clear understanding of who you are in the Lord. Enter into His rest by faith. Everything He has done for you is accessed through faith. Just as salvation is by grace through faith, so are all the other blessings. You don’t earn them; you simply believe and receive them.
Instead of striving with a wrong perspective, start meditating on what you already have in Christ. Isn’t it more beautiful and restful to realize that? Instead of praying, ‘Lord, open the heavens,’ shift to thanksgiving: ‘Lord, thank You for the open heavens. Thank You that in Christ, I am under an open heaven. Thank You for every blessing You have given me. Thank You for Your provision. Thank You for taking care of me.’ This posture shifts everything. You will feel the breakthrough.
You might say, ‘But Tony, I have been in faith, doing everything, yet I still don’t see the results.’ Faith remains the same, no matter the delay or struggle. We all experience moments where we don’t see immediate results, but faith and trust always stand firm. Faith is endurance. Jesus illustrated this in the parable of the persistent widow who kept asking the unjust judge for justice. Though the judge did not act out of love, he eventually granted her request. Jesus then said, ‘How much more will God bring justice for His chosen ones who cry out to Him day and night?’ However, He also asked, ‘When the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?’
This parable teaches us that faith begins with knowing that God is good and just. If you don’t know His nature, you won’t pray according to His will. Acknowledging His goodness is the starting point, but endurance is what sustains faith. Will you continue to believe in God’s goodness every day, even in the midst of sickness, pain, or lack? Faith is not a one-time emotional high—it requires endurance. God does not change His nature; He is always good.
Christ has already opened the heavens for you. Meditate on this truth and let your faith connect to it with ease. Imagine if I handed you a cup of water when you were thirsty. You wouldn’t struggle to receive it; you would simply take it and drink. Some breakthroughs happen instantly, while others require endurance, but all are received through faith. Trust is what allows you to take hold of what has already been given.
Stay in faith and believe!
