Saw a post saying that those who see it and believe it should get ready because God is fixing to open the heavens and bless them with success and prosperity as never before.
There's no doubt that most would quickly relate the success and prosperity to fleshly, worldly gain.
First; Heaven has always been opened to man because man has always had the privilege of yielding his will and walking in obedience to God. He has never been anything but a will to all goodness toward man and therefore it is the heart of man that must be opened to God.
Second; The best and highest blessing that God can bestow upon man has already been sent from Heaven. The life, sufferings, death, burial and resurrection of Jesus has provided all that’s necessary for our restoration to man’s original, right state of being.
Third; It would be inconsistent with Divine Love and therefore impossible for God to gratify the desires of any individual who is not dying daily to their own pride, lust, envy and love for this world. It is so because feeding fleshly, worldly desires provides strength and growth to the fallen nature, which is the single source of all wrath in the soul of man and is the very nature we must be delivered from if our soul is to ever experience the peace and blessing of the Heavenly Life.
No one will ever find God or partake of the Heavenly Life so long as their heart is set upon self-will, self-exaltation, self-preservation, self-gratification and things of this world.
So, the success and prosperity we should seek and expect from God is that of being conformed to the image of Jesus by having the Fire, Light, and Spirit of God conceived, brought to birth, grow and mature in our inward man to produce the fruit of the Holy Spirit in our daily life. This is our greatest good and nothing is of any real benefit without it.
