Topics: Needs Supplied
Volume 7 The Miracle of Su pply
by Ernest An gley
Over twenty-five hundred years ago, the prophet Joel, through
the Spirit of God, foresaw the outpouring of the Spirit:And it
shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pou r
out of my Spirit upon all flesh (Acts 2:17). It's happening in
our day. Heaven's windows are open.
Bu t my God shall supply all your ne ed accord ing to his
riches in glory by Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19). How will
He supply your need? Not by might, nor by power, bu t by
my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts (Zechariah 4:6). By His
Spirit, God will do it. In II Kings 4:2 we read of a widow woman
in great need. Nothing but a pot of oil was left in her house to
sustain her and her two sons. One pot of oil, however, was all she needed for God to make a
miracle of supply for her.
That oil is a type of the oil of the Holy Spirit, all you need in this last and final hour. With the Holy
Spirit living and dwelling on the inside, the Lord will use Him to multiply, to supply all things
needed. What a miracle of supply!
God has revealed His miracle hand down through the years, giving the miracle supply in times of
great need. Now the need is indeed a mighty one, the need to evangelize the world in this the very
last hour of the Church Age.
When God made man and placed him in the Garden of Eden, the windows of Heaven were open

twenty-four hours a day. Man and woman had good health, bountiful food. Lacking nothing, they
had all their needs supplied in a miraculous way. The Lord kept His windows open.
God never intended the windows of Heaven to be closed; He meant Heaven and Earth to be
connectedno separation. God did not close those windows, but through disobedience, Adam, as
head of the human race, did.
What a sad day that was, the day the connection between Heaven and the people on Earth wasbroken! That wonderful direct contact with God would be no more for thousands of years. Man
began his struggle with multitudes of needs that would not always be supplied.
Man, down through the years, has closed the windows of God for his life, has had to wrestle his
food from the Earth; and many times man has come up lacking. He had to provide his own
clothing, and again he often was in need. His lodging was not always sufficient. His knowledge no
longer given by God, man was forced to carve out his own know-how. Again, he came up lacking.
Finally man's thoughts became evil continually, and in order to destroy sin, God had to destroy
sinful man from the face of the Earth.
One man, Noah, caused the windows of Heaven to open, not on most people, but on his family.
Through the benefit of God's open windows, the ark was built. Everything needed in the ark was
supplied as long as the Noah family was in itover a yearbecause the windows stayed open. It
was a miracle supply.
The Noah family didn't take enough food for their stay in the ark; they didn't have room for it. The
story of the widow woman's meal barrel remaining full lets you know how the needs on the ark
were supplied. The ark had miracle meal barrels on board, a miracle supply from Heaven's open
windows.
The Bible bears no record of anyone in the Noah family becoming sickthat's certainly a miracle
supply, a miracle supply for the body.
Not one child was born to Noah or his children during the building of the arka period over one
hundred twenty yearsor when they were in the ark. It wasn't the will of the Lord for the Noah
family to have children during that time. The Lord furnished everything needed, even birthcontrol.
God put these examples of supply in the Bible for us to weigh. He is the same God today as He was
yesterday, and He will still supply the need for His obedient Children. But many have failed to
trust God, have disobeyed Him, closing up God's windows.
The Noah family had the sunshine of Heaven inside the ark, the glory of God, happiness and joy.
They were not depressed, fretting over when they would get out. It was Heaven on Earth. Many

times the Lord must have come down to talk to them. He came down for the first Adam, and He
came down for brother Noah and his family shut up in that ark. Think of the many visitations they
must have delighted in! God was pleased with the Noah family. I can hear the joyful cry,The Lord
is on board! What a glorious time it was, filled with peace and contentment. I imagine many
angels visited them on board. This ark was connected with Heaven and its miracle supply. When
you are connected with Heaven, the miracle supply is available to you.
Abraham at one time didn't have the miracle supply. But as he was obedient, God gave him
wealth. Abraham's servant Eliezer had this to say about him:And the Lord hath blessed my
master greatly; and he is become great: and he hath given him flocks, and herds, and
silver, and gold, and m enservan ts, and maidservants, and camels, and asses (Genesis
24:35). God was the miracle supply for Abraham. Abraham would have closed the windows of
Heaven for himself had he not obeyed God.
God was getting ready to keep open the windows of Heaven for Abraham when He said,Get thee
out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, u nto a land
that I will shew the e: And I w ill make of thee a great n ation, and I will bless thee, and
make thy nam e great; and thou shalt be a b lessing: And I w ill bless them that bless
thee, and curse him that curseth thee: an d in thee shall all families of the earth be
blessed (Genesis 12:1-3). Abraham left his home and traveled to a place where Heaven's windows
opened upon him. Joyfully he went.
Jacob had failed, closed the windows of Heaven for himself, and was running away from his twin,
Esau, who had murder in his heart. One night in the desert, Jacob fell asleep using a stone for a
pillow. As he slept, he dreamed of a ladder reaching all the way from Earth to Heaven. Angels
were ascending and descending on it, and the Lord stood above it. Earth and Heaven were
connected that night for Jacob. The covenant God had given Abraham was renewed through
Jacob. God had opened the windows of Heaven:And, be hold, I am with thee, and will keep
thee in all places whither thou goest, and w ill bring thee again into this land; for I willnot leave thee, u ntil I have done that which I have spoken to thee of(Genesis 28:15).
In the fear of the Lord, Jacob awoke, rising up early and vowing to God: If God will be w ith me,
and w ill keep me in this way that I go, and w ill give m e bre ad to eat, and raiment to
pu t on, So that I come again to my father's house in peace; then shall the Lord be my
God: And th is stone, w hich I have se t for a pillar, shall be God's house : and of all that
thou shalt give m e I w ill surely give the te nth u nto thee (Genesis 28:20-22). When you are
connected with Heaven you will be all right no matter how many enemies you have, for God walks

with you.
Jacob journeyed until he came to the country of his uncle Laban. He met Rachel, Laban's daughter,
at a well, and she hurried to tell her father. Laban ran to meet Jacob, embraced him, kissed him,
brought him to his home.
And Jacob loved Rachel; and said, I w ill serve thee seven years for Rachel thy youn ger
daughter (Genesis 29:18). But the morning after Jacob thought he had married Rachel, he woke
to find he had married her sister, Leah. Jacob did marry Rachel, but his father-in-law tried to cheat
him in every way, with his wives, with cattle, with his wages.
God stepped in with His miracle supply; Jacob obeyed what God told him to doand the man
increased exceed ingly, and had mu ch cattle, and maidservants, and men servants,
and came ls, and asses (Genesis 30:43). To have the miracle supply, you must do all God tells
you. Jacob's way of increasing the flock sounded quite unscientific in light of today's standards, butJacob consulted no one except God, and the method worked. Who has a right to say God's plan
won't work? No one. Man's opinions don't count; only God's.
The windows of Heaven remained open for Jacob, and at last he was going home. Still he didn't
realize the extent of God's great miracle supply, and when he heard that Esau was coming to meet
him, he was greatly afraid and distresse d (Genesis 32:7). Had he fully understood the miracle
supply, he would have known that God had killed out Esau's hate and supplied Esau with love for
him.
Fervently Jacob prayed to God, and then gathered cattle and other animals as gifts to send ahead.
And he delivered them into the han d of his servants, eve ry drove by them selves; and
said un to his servants, Pass over before me , and put a space be twixt drove and drove
(Genesis 32:16).
The next morning Jacob saw Esau coming with four hundred men, and he divided his family. In
the front he put the handmaidens and their children, then Leah and her children, and last wasRachel and her son Joseph. Jacob saved the two he loved most for last in case Esau still had
murder in his heart.
Had Jacob's love been on front-line duty, it would have shown that he knew God would take care of
everything. Jacob needn't have worried. The great love God had supplied in Esau moved him so
that Esau ran to me et him, and emb raced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him:
and they wept (Genesis 33:4). God had done it. Love can heal when nothing else can. The Lord
had furnished that love, and Esau accepted it. Those two brothers came together because the

windows of Heaven were opened upon Jacob. It was a beautiful reunion.
In Malachi 3:10 the Lord is saying He will open you the w indows of heaven, and pour you
out a blessing God will open the windowspluralof Heaven. That's how much the Lord
wants us to be connected with Heaven while we are yet on Earth. And after life on this Earth is
ended, God will have a place prepared for His Children, a mansion in Heaven where they can live
with Him forever.
Over four hundred years, Israel in disobedience, arrogance toward God, had been in Egyptian
bondage. How terrible that period was! They were slaves, treated worse than animals, beaten,
persecuted like no other people have ever been persecuted. They had shut up the windows of
Heaven. When you shut the windows of Heaven, you divorce God from your life.
No matter how disobedient the Israelites were, God would keep His promise to Abraham.
Generation after generation they had been punished. God had said the seed of Abraham wouldsuffer, but He also said He would visit them in their affliction and the windows of Heaven would
open again. After four hundred thirty years, God fulfilled the promise He had made to Abraham.
Pharaoh didn't know the great God of the universe who would open up His windows for the
Israelite slaves. Many do not know that kind of God today. That's the reason fear forms the
framework of their lives. How fortunate are those who know the great God of the universe will
open His windows on them!
Recently the Lord told me that the windows of Heaven now are open all the time. He began to turn
the thought over in my spirit, and I couldn't get away from it. I had never heard such an
expressionthe windows of Heaven are open all the time upon the obedient, the Bride of Christ.
You who are totally obedient to God: the windows of Heaven are open all the time, saith the Lord.
You don't have to beg, Lord open up the windows! You can lift your hands and say: The windows
are open! Thank you Lord!
There is no reason why the windows of Heaven should ever be closed when you walk in total
obedience before God. The Bride in this last hour will walk in total obedience, saith the Lord, and
the windows of Heaven will remain open. Her needs will be supplied miraculously. Every member
of the bridal company will be conscious of the fact that he or she can depend on the promises of
God which furnish and bring about the miraculous supply.

Trust God; depend upon Him. Trust in the Lord with all thine he art; and lean not u nto
thine own u nderstanding. In all thy ways acknow ledge him, and he shall direct thy
paths (Proverbs 3:5, 6). Our paths are being made plain paths, saith the Lord, in this last and final
hour. Our paths will lead us to all nations, carrying victory to the people who want victory,
bringing God's love message.
Everyone who longs for and desires deliverance can have deliverance: the windows are open upon
the Bride at all times, saith the Lord. Through her obedience it has come about.
God's Spirit is being poured out twenty-four hours around the clock, saith the Lord. Any time you
wake during the night, know that the Spirit is being poured out. The Lord will take care of your
needs; He is the way maker. It's time to wave the blood-stained banner, time to shout,Victory! It's
time for us to say, My God will supply! My God will supply all of my needs! That means supply
for the needs of soul, mind and body. God has opened the windows of Heaven.
Oh Israel, the windows of Heaven were wide open as you left Egypt. At last you were on your way
to Canaan, a nation being brought out of a nation. It was done only through the windows of Heaven
being open.
Moses couldn't have brought the Israelites out of Egypt himself; no man could. Moses thought he
was unqualified. And Moses said un to the Lord, O my Lord, I am no e loquen t, neither
heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken u nto thy servant: bu t I am slow of speech, and
of a slow ton gue (Exodus 4:10). Moses wanted to get out of the responsibility of leading his
people to freedom.
And Moses said un to God, Behold, when I com e u nto the children of Israel, and shall
say unto them , The God of your fathers hath sent me un to you; and they shall say to
me, W hat is his name? what shall I say un to them? And God said un to Moses, I AM
THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath
sent me un to you (Exodus 3:13, 14). God didn't need Moses to build up His image; He just
needed Moses to speak what He had said. We don't need to make the Lord a reputation in thisfinal hour. Thus saith the Lord is all we need to say, thus saith the Lord. Believe the Word of the
Lord with all your heart and it shall be done. Who sent you, what kingdom are you from? The
Kingdom of God. I-Am sent me! I am sent by I-Am.
The Israelites were leaving Egypt at lastin a great hurry. Many, many years they had been poor
slaves, but now the windows opened on them. Imagine how Moses felt as the Egyptians were

urgen t upon the people, that they might send them ou t of the land in haste; for they
said, We be all dead men. And the people took their dough before it was leaven ed,
their kneadingtrou ghs being bou nd up in their clothes upo n their shoulders. And the
children of Israel did according to the w ord of Moses,And the Lord gave the people
favour in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent u nto them such things as they
requ ired. And they spoiled the Egyptians (Exodus 12:33-36). The land of Canaan flowing
with milk and honey was just ahead. Didn't they see Heaven's windows opened wide upon them as
they entered the Red Sea with the waters separated to the left and to the right? Such a miracle
could happen no other way than through the open windows of Heaven.
The windows opened for them on Sinai. God was going to come down, and they were to sanctify
themselves. And the Lord said un to Moses, Lo, I come u nto thee in a thick cloud, that
the people may hear when I speak with thee, and believe thee for ever . . . And the
Lord said u nto Moses, Go un to the people, and sanctify them to day and to morr ow,and let them wash their clothes, And be ready against the third day: for the third day
the Lord will come dow n in the sight of all the people u pon m oun t Sinai (Exodus
19:9-11). They purified the outside. And it came to pass on the third day in the morn ing,
that there were thu nde rs and lightnings, and a thick cloud u pon the mo un t, and the
voice of the trum pet excee ding loud; so that all the peop le that was in the camp
trembled. And mou nt Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the Lord descend ed
up on it in fire: and the smoke there of ascended as the smoke of a furn ace, and the
whole mou nt qu aked greatly(verses 16, 18). God's voice rang forth; Heaven's windows were
all open on that great day.
In this final hour we can declare that all windows are open, saith the Lord. Blessed be the name of
the Lord! God has come down. Jesus Christ, ImmanuelGod with usleads this army that makes
up the Bride of Christ; and when He leads an army it will outshine the sun. The Bride is on the
move.
Israel could have seen all the way to Heaven's open windows had they only looked up and kept
looking. But at Sinai they buried their faces in the sand, let the devil frighten them out of that great
experience. Yes, the sight was fearful; it made Moses tremble with great fear, but he didn't turn
from God. The Heavens were lit up with the glory of God, and millions of angels surrounded the
people. Israel, why didn't you take heed to what God was saying? Why did you let the devil
frighten you away from your Maker, the great God, creator of the universe?
God, who came down to walk hand in hand with Adam and Eve, had come down again. But Israel
was frightened away from the greatness of God to the extent they didn't even want to hear God's

voice. Wh ich voice they that heard entreated that the w ord should not b e spoken to
them any more: For they could not endu re that which was comm anded (Hebrews 12:19,
20).
God wanted to talk to Israel; He would have been so happy that day to speak to all of them. He wastaking them to a land where He could miraculously supply everything they needed, the closest
place to Heaven that He could find for themCanaan. But they wouldn't follow God.
The pillar of fire gave Israel security, warmth in the desert at night; but they didn't care. The land
flowing with milk and honey seemed too far away, a dream; and they longed for the onions and
garlic of Egypt. In other words, they didn't care about the miracle supply of God or His great plan.
So God let them wander in the wilderness for forty years, opened the windows of Heaven only at
times.
A window opened long enough to rain down manna for the multitude once every day for five days,and on the sixth, a double amount for that day and the Sabbath. No window opened on the seventh
day. But because they had murmured, God said,Yo u r carcases shall fall in this wildern ess;
and all that were num bered of you, according to your w hole nu mber, from twen ty
years old and up ward, w hich have mu rmu red against me (Numbers 14:29). Caleb and
Joshua were the only exceptions because they alone gave a good report after they had spied out the
land of Canaan. They knew the windows of Heaven were open for them, that Israel had the divine
favor of God, but they couldn't convince the rest. Israel's disobedience shut the windows to the
land of Canaan for forty years. Many would never see those windows wide open again.
Although Israel had tied God's hands so He was unable to move for them in the way He wanted,
God was good to them. At the end of their journey Moses reminded them:I have led you forty
years in the w ilderne ss: you r clothes are not waxen old upon you, and thy shoe is not
waxen old upon thy foot (Deuteronomy 29:5). After forty years, it was time to cross over. The
windows were open again, and Jordan separated, leaving a dry passage through which the
Israelites entered the Promised Land.
The Israelites next had to take the fortified city of Jericho. I've been to Jericho. As I walked on the
grounds, I tried to feature that ancient Israelite armyno weapons, a few men tooting rams' horns,
everyone marching around the walls without speaking. It was a march to be rid of all disobedience,
a march where everyone became totally obedient to the instructions of the Lord. For a week they
kept their mouths shut as they circled the walls.
Do you wonder if you have the victory? Check your mouth. When you can keep your mouth shut
at the right time, you have the victory. The Israelites underwent a test of pure obedience. Weigh

their obedience at Jericho with your spirit. They couldn't speak to anyone to the left or to the
right. If people bumped them, they weren't to protest aloud. Total obedience had to be learned
because only a shout of pure obedience could bring down the walls on the last day.
Our obedience must be that complete in this last hour if we are to shout down the walls of the
enemy. Only voices of the totally obedient will make up that one great voice of the Bride crying in
the wilderness like John the Baptist. In this last hour, the Bride will shout down walls of
opposition.
Great things are in store for the Children of God, for the totally obedient walking hand in hand with
Him. Great and wonderful miracles will take place because the obedient live every day and night
with the windows of Heaven wide open for them. How wonderful that is! How close the obedient
are to Heaven! Think of the contact you have with Heaven!
The windows were open at different times in Old Testament days. They were open for Daniel theprophet even though they had been closed for his people. He was obedient. That's the reason we
read about Daniel, the reason Jesus mentioned him, the reason he was told by God, Thou art
greatly beloved (Daniel 9:23).
The Lord trusted Daniel in the den of lions. God wouldn't have trusted most people in that den
because they would have made a mockery out of God's Word and faithfulness, failed to honor God.
But Daniel knew the windows were open, and so he talked to Heaven. Looking toward a Jerusalem
he hoped to return to, Daniel lifted up his voice three times a day, and prayed, an d gave
thanks before his God (Daniel 6:10).
One thing Daniel knew: when he opened the window of his room to talk to God, Heaven's windows
were already open. That's the reason God had given him so much wisdom and knowledge, the
reason the Lord could bring revelations to him. God talked to the first Adam, and God talked to
Daniel. The first Adam had a brilliant mind, great knowledge and wisdom. He didn't get it through
man's training, but through the miracle supply from God. Daniel also received his knowledge and
wisdom from God.
Daniel's obedience kept the windows of Heaven open upon him until God was able to lift him up so
high, so close to Heaven that he could see through the telescope of time every major kingdom thatwould come and go. He saw our day and beyondthe kingdom of the Antichrist that would be
destroyed with the third appearance of Christ when He comes to fight and end the battle of
Armageddon. Then the Lord will set up His Kingdom which will destroy all unrighteousness.
Daniel's great revelations came from God; they still live today and will live for all time and eternity.

How wonderful that Daniel could be lifted up into such a heavenly place! But the Bible tells us that
since Jesus came, there is a heavenly place for each one of us. God, rich in mercy,hath raised u s
up together, and made us sit together in heave nly places in Christ Jesus (Ephesians
2:6).
In this heavenly place we can see beyond the world; here the Lord can talk to us, direct us, reveal
Himself to usmere human beings. It's marvelous in my sight! I never get used to being visited by
God, never accustomed to God talking to me. It thrills me through and through! Visitations I
experienced years ago still pulse with the life of God for me; they live.
The windows of Heaven are open, but only total obedience will reveal such a sight. Because of her
total obedience the Bride will be blessed with all the faith and all the love of Heaven. Walking
fearlessly with Heaven's courage, the obedient Bride will be busy serving the greatness of Christ to
others each hour she is awake. She has much to serve. Not concerned about things the average
person is caught up with, the Bride is bone of His bone and flesh of His flesh, love of His love and
faith of His faith. She is the Bride of Christ.
No longer in Old Testament type and shadow, the Bride today appears in all the glory of living
reality. Christ bestows His greatness upon her daily. No wonder she will be fair as the moon ,
clear as the sun, and ter rible as an army with bann ers (Song of Solomon 6:10). No wonder
she resembles a fierce army as she tramples devils underfoot! In a way he has never feared a
people before, the devil fears the Bride.
God will work through the Bride even greater than He worked through the Early Church, saith theLordgreater, on a more massive scale. She will do the same works Jesus did:He that be lieveth
on m e, the w orks that I do shall he do also; and greater w orks than these shall he do;
becau se I go unto m y Father (John 14:12). Multitudes and multitudes and multitudes will be
swept into the Kingdom. Beholding His glory, the Bride knows where it is coming from; she is
conscious of the open windows of Heaven. The Bride recognizes God's power as the miracle supply
is poured out.
Not spending all night pleading for God to do one little thing; the Bride knows all she need do is
ask, and it shall be given you; see k, and ye shall find; kn ock, and it shall be ope ned
unto you (Matthew 7:7). The Bride will come forth like the morning, like Jesus, talking like Him,
acting like Him.
Treasuring the Holy Spirit, the Bride depends on Him to lead her. As Christ said,But the
Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father w ill send in my nam e, he shall
teach you all things, and b ring all things to your reme mbran ce, whatsoever I have

said u nto you (John 14:26). The Bride will not be without knowledge or wisdom of this hour.
The greatness of Heaven, her crown of glory from the Father, is given through the Son of
righteousness. As she mounts up on wings of His great love, she bears great joyful tidings to the
whole world: Look and behold, she cries. Look at the One! Behold the One with nail prints in His
hands! He is the all-conquering One! He conquered death, hell and the grave for you. Come out
of that dungeon of fear, out of that prison house you're in. Jesus broke all the locks. The devil has
deceived you just because the door was closed. But push on the door in the name of Jesus, and you
find no lock. The devil has no locks to imprison you when you speak the name Jesus in all faith.
You can come out of any prison cell, oh sinner. You can come out!
Jesus came to set the captives free. His mission is the Bride's mission. She has put on His shoes.
With the windows of Heaven open on her, she will conquer just as He conquered. The mighty Son
of God has come down with healing in His wings, and the windows are open now, oh Child of God,
obedient one.
The windows opened upon Elijah. One day under the juniper tree he forgot them; but, thank God,
they were still open and they didn't close for him. He hadn't disobeyed God; he was grieved to his
soul to think others had failed God completely, all of his people. That's the reason he ran, the
reason he prayed to die.
The windows were open when Elijah told the prophets of Baal to build an altar and call on the
name of their gods. He said he would call on the name of the Lord andthe God that answe reth
by fire, let him be God (I Kings 18:24). All day the prophets of Baal screamed and cut
themselves, but there was no answer from their idol god. Elijah mocked them: Cry aloud: for heis a god; either he is talking, or he is pu rsuing, or he is in a journ ey, or peradven ture
he sleepeth, and mu st be awaked (verse 27).
Elijah knew the windows were open for him or he never would have done what he did. In the
name of the Lord he repaired the altar of the Lord, made a trench around it, laid the sacrifice on
the altar and then poured twelve barrels of water on it all. The water ran over the wood, the
sacrifice, the altar and into the trench. Elijah stepped forward with the windows of Heaven open,
prayed a little prayer, sixty-three words. Then the fire of the Lord fell, and con sum ed the
bu rnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the du st, and licked up the w aterthat was in the trench (verse 38). Everyone knew where the fire was coming from, rolling out of
Heaven's windows, a mighty mountain of flames that consumed the sacrifice and more. God is
God! With that power pouring down on Elijah, he took a sword and beheaded 450 prophets of
Baal. The windows of Heaven opened on one obedient servant of God.
The windows of Heaven will open on you if you obey God. If, however, your belief in God is only
lip service, if you say one thing and believe another, the windows will not open for you. Study the
people in the Bible who were blessed with the window open blessings, and you will find they were

the obedient ones.
The windows of Heaven were open on Enoch. The Lord hadn't found anyone like him since
Adambefore Adam fell from grace. Enoch encouraged the Lord. God longed for a whole race like
Enoch. But He knew to make such a race His Son would have to die. He so much wanted Enoch tobe with Him that He took him to Heaven one day. By faith Enoch w as translated that he
should not see death; and w as not found, becau se God had translated him: for before
his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God (Hebrews 11:5).
Enoch left without saying good-by. One day the Bride will leave the Earth in the same way;
translated, she will not see death. Thank God for Jesus, for the Blessed Hope! We carry that
Blessed Hope within because the windows of Heaven are open. It's the reason you can have all
your needs suppliedwindow open blessings.
Although God told Israel He would open the windows of Heaven upon them, Israel shut them withdisobedience. In doing so they robbed God by not keeping His ordinances and were cursed as a
whole nation. But the Lord told them if they would be obedient, if they would bring all their tithes
into the storehouse that He would open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a
blessing, that there shall not b e room enou gh to receive it (Malachi 3:10). Israel, your
disobedience has brought sorrow, desolation, but if you will obey me, I will open up the windows
of Heaven.
Are you a part of the obedient? Are you totally obedient to the Lord? Then you cry,Take the whole
world, but give me Jesus, and I won't turn back! The pearl of great price, the bright and morning
star is our Jesus. We are going through to glory! Thanks be to God!
The windows were open for Israel. God had come down wrapped in a pillar of fire by night and a
cloud by day. He was living reality to His obedient as He led the Israelites in the wilderness. But
Jesus has gone beyond that for us. Jesus Christ has come to live on the inside of us, to wrap us in
His love, glory, faith, goodness and mercy. It isn't just a look at God we have; He lives on the inside
through the blood of Jesus.
The apostle Paul said, I live; yet not I, bu t Christ liveth in m e: and the life w hich I now
live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, an d gave himself
for me (Galatians 2:20). Your soul has unlimited capacity; it's a part of God. The soul came from
God, and it can hold all of Heaven.

We heard the call of God one day: He said He would open the windows of Heaven upon us if we
would go to Calvary.
Open the windows, oh Lord, if we will leave sin and disobedience behind and go to Calvary?
Yes, I'll make you new. I'll make you a new creation; you will never be the same. Come with me.
The Holy Spirit speaking to your heart is saying, Come, I'll show you the one who died for you. I'llshow you the one who brought you deliverance, power from on High. It's within your reach.
That day you surrendered to God through the old rugged cross was a glorious time, indeed! The
windows of Heaven opened and the glory came down. You felt you never would be sad again,
never be in despair. No longer a poor lost sinner, you had been washed in the blood of the Lamb.
Now in the final walk, oh Bride of Christ, obedient one, I say to you: Heaven's windows are open
for you to never close as long as you are obedient. Your obedience will keep them all open for you.
Sinner, disobedient one, Backslider, don't you know you need the miraculous supply for soul, mind
and body? Don't you know you must have Jesus? Don't you know it's essential to be connectedwith Heaven? One day Earth will vanish away; it will be no more as we know it. Why don't you
come to Jesus? Backslider, the Holy Spirit has been following some of you for such a long time.
Come home before dark. The night is coming when you won't be able to find your way back, when
the Holy Spirit will no longer shine Heaven's light upon your path to show you the way. Lift up
your heart as I pray the sinners' prayer with you: Oh God: Save my soul! Forgive me for all my
sins. I am sorry that I sinned against you, but I have come home. And I'm going to serve you,
Lord, the rest of my life. I believe there is power in the blood of Jesus to wash away all of my sins.
Come on into my heart Jesus.
If you meant that prayer, you can now say, Hallelujah, He has come!
You who are sick and afflicted, it is not the Lord's will. Jesus came with healing in His wings for
you. Let me pray with you now. The Bible saysthe pra yer of faith shall save the sick, and
the Lord shall raise him u p (James 5:15). I am not a healer; God is the healer. I am a believer.
Lord: I bring the sick and afflicted to you, the cancer victims, the diabetics, the heart patients. I
bring the paralyzed, the blind. I bring them all to you, precious Jesus. I bring them in your fa ith,
in your love. I bring them to you through your Holy Spirit. From your supernatural gift of
miracles, your supernatural gifts of healing, the healing comes in the name of your Son Jesus.
Heal! in the holy name of Jesus.
God's healing power is flowing. Watch all improvements daily, and let His power work, get you
well just as it got me well one day, brought me back from the edge of the grave and gave me life. It
can do the same for you because Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever

(Hebrews 13:8). I believe in miracles because I believe in God.
As we respond to God's greatness, we will see the incredible manifestations of the Holy Spirit. The
Lord is great in all His ways, wonderful and mighty.
Thus saith the Lord: I am your God. I promised signs and mighty w onders in this your la st hour,
and I will perform. My people will believe for my greatness, and no power can defeat my
greatness, saith the Lord. I am moving through my people. I am blessing my people. I am the
courage of my people. I am the love of my people. I am the greatness of my people, and all my
people need do is just yield to me, saith the Lord.
I have given you instructions. I have told you how to yield to me in my Holy Word, and all you
have to do is to obey what I have said. I will use you in this the last hour; you will be witnesses for
me, witnesses of the greatness of my might and my power. Be not afra id, but look, look at Jesus
and know that you have the same strength that He had, that you have the same power, you havethe same faith, you have the same greatness that He used when He wa s here on Earth. It's all
yours, saith the Lord.
Lift up your heart and take the anointing and the greatness of God. Holy, Lord God Almighty! We
honor you, Lord. Blessed be the name of the Lord! As we go into the greatness of God, I believe
God's true people will have their eyes opened more and more to see what God is doing. The Lord
wants to make Himself all living reality to us. Heaven's windows are open on the Bride of Christ in
this last and final hour, and that makes all things possibleONLY BELIEVE!
