Open Heaven

An open Heaven is tangible. If you have an open Heaven, you know it. In the 11 years I've been walking with Yahweh, I can pinpoint specific times in my life when I knew I was under an open Heaven. Why only a few times? Man, I wish I knew. The problem is that I've touched the sphere of open Heaven, then allowed daily muck to envelope me again.

In comparison to an open Heaven, regular life feels like a dark cloud is hanging over you. Yet it's like living with really bad back pain that you get healed of (so I've heard). You don't know how much pain you were actually in until it's gone. An open Heaven feels like fresh air. It feels like an easy yoke and light burden. It feels like anything at all is possible and the sky is no limit. Ha-ha...it feels like a Life Without Limits.

My husband came home from a job interview today. Our Pastor gave him a prophesy about not getting comfortable where he is, so he's been going on several interviews. Last month he did a series of interviews with a company that loved him so much they took 3 hours to deliberate on whether they should hire him or another man. When they finally decided on the other man, they had directors fly in from around the country to meet and create a new position just for Pierre...and it still didn't work out. It was bizarre that they wanted to hire him so badly, and even more bizarre that they didn't take him. They ended up referring him to the company he went on an interview with today.

I've never seen my husband so excited about a company. His interview apparently went well. That doesn't move me. What moved me is to hear the things that came out of his mouth on this interview. Pierre talked about Pastor Dan, PVN, being a Christian. He talked about his future goals personally and professionally. When they asked him what he desired to earn, he told them a number that was way higher than anything I've ever heard him say before. It was like everything he was saying on this interview was coming straight out of his spirit man. That's how I know this job is his. Heaven opened up today.

He told them about how I'm a graphics designer working from home. They said they need a graphics designer and that maybe I could work for them from home as well. On the way back, Pierre stopped at our favorite Thai restaurant to get some dinner. He told the owner that I want to have a studio on Palisades Ave and she said she wants to go into business with me. As my husband is talking, I see my photography studio. It is part of my Christian School for the Performing Arts. There is a day care that my mother-in-law runs, and a salon for toddlers run by the owner of the Thai restaurant. It's right in Englewood. I see it clearly, and it's so real. It's like Fame. lol. I see Iraida teaching in that school. I see Satoya, Rachael, Neubela, Kim and Tarsha in that school. I see the students - young, talented, funny, loving, care-free and on fire for Yahweh. I see the waiting list to get into the school. I see my office. I see the auditorium where my son is the lead in the play (because he's good, not because he's my son). lol.

I want to stay here, in this open Heaven. I don't want to go back to the dark cloud where the smallest thing seems impossible. I'm holding tight to Yahweh, clinging to that vine for dear life. This is life. I won't go back.
