Open Heaven Confession:

Heavenly Father, I declare today that I am living under an open Heaven. Thank You for opening the windows of heaven, for opening doors that need to be opened in my life, and for blessings being poured out in ways that I can’t count. Because I am living under an open Heaven, Your presence saturates my heart and my life. Thank You that I hear You better, I obey You consistently, and I am very sensitive to what’s on Your heart. Help me to make Christ known so that You are glorified through my life. Because I live under an open Heaven, I will never have a need that You can’t supply. Help me to stay in position to always receive from You. I love You, and I praise You for all that You will do for me today! In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen!
