Open the flood gates of Heaven

On New Year’s Day at Ryan’s place during worship, I hear the Lord said this to me many times, “Open the flood gates of heaven”
The next day the first post that I open up to read was from Kok Haw’s blog.
To my surprise, I saw the very words that has been alive in my spirit…

Malachi 3:10 - And try Me now in this," Says the Lord of hosts, "If I will not open for you the windows of heaven And pour out for you such blessing That there will not be room enough to receive it.

(CEV)  I am the LORD All-Powerful, and I challenge you to put me to the test. Bring the entire ten percent into the storehouse, so there will be food in my house. Then I will open the windows of heaven and flood you with blessing after blessing.

Wow. How accurate. Little did I remember where this verse came from or even existed but God surely brought all things to remembrance.

Shortly after that. I msg ShinYing this,
01-01-2007 2210 Yest this sentence came to me durin worship…JESUS will open the flood gates of heaven n today I read someone’s blog and is actually from Malachi3:10

She said later that her Cg the night before sang a song that sounded something like this too..Opening Heaven Gates.
With that she gave me Isaiah 54 to read(which was a confirmation to my previous post that Christ is our husband and we are the Bride of Christ) and Kok How’s also put up a verse from Isaiah54:4 about God enlarging our tents.

Yesterday, when Pastor mentioned that this year will be a year of New beginnings and the key to His blessing is when we give him our tithes to him. And to the Jews it meant, Beginning of Redemption of Israel. Everything started to click inside me.
New beginning sounds familiar…I remember telling Shin Ying that Isaiah54 is a picture of the coming New Jerusalem or in my NCV it says, people will return to Jerusalem.
I type in e-sword to search for the word New Jerusalem and only found one verse that speaks of it.

Rev 21:2  And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

Bride Of Christ again?Only the day before I opened up my 2001 sermon and the first sermon before my eyes was “A Love Beyond Time Bride Of Christ 21& 22June”same sermon but printed in two copies. It surely was a significant importance for Pastor to do that. Not only that, in the sermon, Pastor mention that the story of God preparing a bride for his son in Gen 24 was one of the longest chapter in Gen with 67verses.Surely the Lord has something for us here.
I encouraged you to listen to them to better understand this typology and the verse in Rev21:2 of what it means a bride prepared for her husband. You’ll also better understand the picture Pastor gave on Bride of Christ too in bs on Joseph’s life.

But as I was pondering over this two verses,…”Open Windows of Heaven and pour out His blessing with the New Jerusalem coming down from heaven…”

He told me this, the key to unlock the windows of heaven is first to bring your tithe before Him and then He will open up heaven for the New Jerusalem blessing in Isaiah54 to come upon you. This blessings only comes to those who receives Him as your Saviour, as your Husband(Isaiah54:5). Just as when Rebekah(bride of Christ, the church) was married to Isaac(Jesus in Gen24) she was given 10 camels(a picture of prosperity in their time). If she would have rejected Isaac(Jesus)she’ll not be walking away with the gifts and the family will not receive it too.That’s a picture of prosperity overflowing to your family when you receive Jesus just as Pastor had preached. After she accepted Isaac, she receives an over provision of it!

Come to God with your tithe and unlock the windows of heaven that He may pour forth His blessings on you.
