The Floodgates Of Heaven

The Blessing Will Lift Us Up Above Oour Circumstances In A Way That Our Circumstances Are Covered With The Blessing.

The Floodgates Of Heaven

Olga Hermans

There is no reason for you and I to be broke even in a difficult time of finances, because we operate in a different Kingdom; aren’t you glad? I am thrilled, because I know that we operate in the Kingdom of Heaven. Hereare 2 words with the same meaning; it will bless you when you receive them for what they stand.

Once we are born again, we are translated out of the kingdom of darkness and into the Kingdom of light. And if we give God time and attention, we come into that light and He will show us how to live without sickness, without disease and without poverty, without any other curse.

You don’t have to be under any of the curses if you made Jesus the Lord of your life, why? Because the scripture says that He bore the curse for us.

SEEK FIRST the Kingdom of God; SEEK is big and FIRST is big; go after Him before you go after anything else. Go first after the Kingdom of God means that you go after the things the way God does things.

Tithing is a something that God requires from us, isn’t it? My husband and I love to tithe; every time when money comes into the bank, we rejoice because we are able to tithe. To us tithing is really an insurance policy where all of our money is concerned; our money is protected, it cannot be drained and it cannot be stolen.
Mal 3:10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. When the floodgates of heaven open; it is uncontainable.

We have just seen with the tsunami in Japan; water flushes everything away, it washes out houses, big boats until nothing is left over. That is how powerful water can be. There is a great connection between the blessing and a flood. When it says “opening the windows of heaven”, we should picture ourselves standing under these open windows of heaven, this blessing is overtaking us. Let’s have a look at this picture; this might surprise you and bless you especially if you choose to believe it 🙂

Gen 7:11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. The word “windows” in Gen 7:11 is the same word as in Mal.3:10 and both words mean “floodgates”. That is revelation knowledge to us!

The water covered every mountain; that is a lot of flood. You see water lifts everything to the top. You have seen that with the tsunami, right? Here is the connection; the blessing lifts us above the earth. It lifts us above the economy. Gen 7:17-20 And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth.

I learned and I chose to believe that this is a picture of the results of the tithe. If we would replace the word “water” with the “blessing”, because what comes out of heaven for the thither? The blessing! From the floodgate and the windows of heaven the blessing comes upon us.

It reads like this: Gen.7:17-20 And the “blessing” (which in the Hebrew means: the abundant, liberal, excessive prosperity of God) was forty days upon the earth; and the “blessing” increased, and lifted up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth. And the “blessing” prevailed, and was increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the blessing. And the “blessing” prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills that were under the whole heaven were covered with the “blessing”. Fifteen cubits upward did the “blessing” prevail; and the mountains were covered with the “blessing”.

Our tithe unlocks the floodgates of heaven and the Lord says: “prove me now herewith” if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

This is awesome, don’t you think so? This is a truth that you and I should have deep in our heart. The blessing will lift us up above our circumstances in a way that our circumstances are covered with the Blessing. Well, we are always blessed, but when we tithe, the blessing will come pouring into our life out of heaven that we don’t have room to contain it. That is what I want; what about you?

What has tithing done for you? Can you remember when you started tithing and what a difference it made in your life?

You Are More Than A Conqueror

March 31, 2011 by Olga 4 Comments

You Are More Than A Conqueror and You Can Do All Things Through Christ Who Strengthens You.

Do you know that you are more than a conqueror. Do you really know that? That is what God says about you, right? This is God’s Word to you: Rom 8:37 But in all these things we are more than conquerors, through him that loved us. “We” means you. Your position of being “…more than a conqueror” is right now.

The fact that you are more than a conqueror is reality. It is the truth. Faith is always now and your faith makes you a conqueror right now! It is something you are guaranteed because of God’s promise. You and I have to make a choice to believe it. It is a very powerful truth.

To be a conqueror is tremendous. Conquer means “to triumph, to overcome, to win, to succeed or to be victorious.” Romans 8:37 in the New American Standard is translated, “…we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us.” This is our victory! The adversary is defeated and can no longer triumph in our lives.

You are more than a conqueror because the love of Jesus is on the inside of you and is victory is yours by faith, not by works. No matter what you have done or how you may have failed in the past, you are more than a conqueror. Don’t ever forget it. [Read more…]

In The Hands Of The Potter

March 29, 2011 by Olga 2 Comments

We should never lose sight of the fact that God corrects and instructs us for our good. Understanding that helps us to stay pliable in the hands of the Potter/ in the Master’s hands and he molds us into the image of Jesus. Look at

Let Him Make You Into A Vessel Of Honor He Desires You To Be

what Jesus says in Jeremiah 18:6 O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the LORD. Behold, as the clay is in the potter’s hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel.

“Can I not do to you as the potter does with the clay?” You see, all God wants is to be free to work in our lives. He isn’t trying to take something away from us. He is trying to give something wonderful to everyone of us, “Hear Me. Do what I say. Follow my plan. Get in My Word. Listen to Me in your spirit. Let Me make you a vessel of honor.”

Think back to the way you were when you were first born again, before the Word was ever planted in your heart. You were a sad story before the Potter began to mold and shape you, weren’t you? God has certainly done a wonderful work on my vessel of clay through the years, I mean; I was clueless and so naive and timid when I was a new Christian that I didn’t dare to talk to anybody. I didn’t have much to say either. Those days are gone forever.

God develops authority and power in you as you walk in His Word. An inner confidence rises up because you know Who is inside you and Who you are following. You get the revelation in 1John 4:4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. [Read more…]

God Is Your Solution, Not Your Problem

March 28, 2011 by Olga 3 Comments

Have you ever thought that “without God life would be so much easier”? Or this one, “if God only would approve of this; I would be on my way”. You see, God does not respond to what we do; we have to choose to respond to what God

does. God is our Solution, not our problem!

He chastises or instructs us with His Word. He doesn’t cause our problems. He tells us, “If you do this, I’ll bless you. If you don’t do it, you open yourself up to the strategies of the enemy.” Deut 28:1-2,15. So, whose fault is it if we choose to do the wrong things and get in trouble? Ours. We made the choices.

When we get stuck in a hard place, sometimes it is hard for us to understand where the real problem lies. It is difficult for us to see that we are the ones who opened the door to our troubles. It is so much easier to think, God has missed it here. It’s called deception.

It’s also easy to look back at the Old Testament people and think, Adam, how could you have been so foolish as to not obey God? Israel, why did you keep refusing to listen to the prophets that were sent?

But we can be just as foolish. We let ourselves get out of the will of God through disobedience, and then when things don’t work for us and we struggle, we ask, “Lord, why did you let this happen to me? How come You’re not doing something to get me out of this?” [Read more…]

3 Elements That Are Essential To Supernatural Prayer

March 27, 2011 by Olga Leave a Comment

There are three elements that are essential to supernatural prayer: faith, the Word and the Holy Spirit.

Faith

Praying Involves A Supernatural Move Of God

Hebrews 11:6 says, “Without faith it is impossible to please God.” In recent times, some people in the body of Christ have tried to separate the prayer of faith from other kinds of prayers and put it in a category by itself. But the truth is, you always have to travel in faith no matter what kind of praying you are doing.

I like to think of faith as the vehicle that gets your prayers where they’re going. If you don’t use that vehicle, they won’t ever get there. What’s more, the higher your faith level is, the faster and more effective your prayers will be. You might say, the level of your faith will determine whether they go by pony express or by the Concorde.

So to pray supernaturally, you’re going to have to constantly cultivate your faith by staying in the Word of God. [Read more…]

11 Issues Causing Marriage Difficulities

March 24, 2011 by Olga Leave a Comment

There is such a great need in this hour that if we who have strong marriages and homes can have vision for helping hurting marriages, our own marriage will even get better. If you have gone through a broken marriage, God can

God Can Rebuild Your Life So You Will Avoid Making The Same Mistake That You Have Made In The Past

reconstruct your life and either use you to help other people as a single or lead you to remarry. God can rebuild your life so you will avoid making the same mistake that you have made in the past.
Here are some issues that cause difficulties or areas of conflict in the marriage relationship.

1. Pride
James 4:6 says,… God resists the proud, but gives grace unto the humble.” Pro 16:18 says, Pride goes before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall. A proud person will not receive the grace of God.
We’re in a generation now in which many children have grown up in divorced homes. They’ve gone through tremendous hurts. If they don’t receive the ministry of the Holy Spirit, they’ll enter a marriage relationship with past scars and wounds.

This is an hour for the Church to rise up as never before because of the number of people who are entering marriage from a totally different perspective. We are in a materialistic, selfish generation. When you get two selfish people together, you have war. They want to grab, they want to get and they want their own way. In fact they demand it.

Out Of The Mouth Comes The Overflow Of The Heart

March 22, 2011 by Olga 1 Comment

Out Of The Mouth Comes The Overflow Of The Heart

by Olga Hermans

The Power of Confession

We can learn how to re-write our future with the words we speak. We might not realize it, but God expects from us when we come into the Kingdom that we want to grow and develop. It’s the same as any other profession that you have to learn. First you have to learn the words they speak in that particular arena, isn’t it? Every profession has some words in it that you and I don’t have to use if we are not working in that area.

So, first you have to change your way of thinking, then your way of talking, then your way of looking and then you change your purpose in life. You go from the basics to the advanced and then further and you keep going and going. That is the process that the Word of God takes.

Right now in these times that we live in God is demanding more from us, so that He can put more in us and that more can come out of us and bring more to us.Wow! That is something to think about, isn’t it?

Mat 12:35 says: A good man out of the good treasure of the heart brings forth good things and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things. Do we want good things to come forth? Of course we do. You see, your future is in your heart and you bring it forth, whether you know it or not. Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. We can’t change that from happening. It is a principle of the Kingdom and a way we are designed to operate.

Out of the mouth comes the overflow of the heart. So, we can bring forth good things or we can bring forth evil things, like it says in the last part of the verse. You could say instead of treasure, a deposit of the heart, because somehow it has to be deposited in the heart. Whatever is deposited in there will eventually come out.

Babies in Christ desire the sincere milk of the word that you may grow thereby. You cannot grow on the milk unless you drink it. You have to put it in there. So, the plan of the Kingdom of God needs to come into the heart, so it can come out of you and that it would manifest into your life. There is nothing that can stop you!

That’s why Jesus said “don’t seek after what you are going to eat and what you are going to put on”, that is what the world seeks after. He told us to seek first the Kingdom of God and all these things will be added to us. That is the way things will come into our life. Nobody can stop you but you, because your future is in your heart and not in somebody else’s hand. They don’t have your future.

The government doesn’t have my future, my best friends don’t have my future and my parents don’t have my future. My future is in my heart. It has been given to me through the Word of God. The devil cannot stop it. If you have your dependency on the government, the government can stop it.

Pro 4:23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. The word issues means in the Hebrew: boundaries, borders or forces come out of the heart. You keep your heart means that you guard your heart. One translation says that we have to keep our hearts with all vigilance and with all our might. It is that important!

Whatever comes in your heart and especially if it comes in there in abundance; it will control your life. But the good news is that he has put believers in this earth so that nobody can keep us from our destinies but us. God made it that way and that is the good news.

The revelation has to take root in your life that the color of your skin cannot hold you back and the color of somebody else’s skin cannot stop you. Wherever you come from cannot stop you, wherever you were born cannot stop it. You future is in your heart and not somebody else’s hands, so if God is for you and nobody can stand against you.

You have to make a choice to go for it and act on this principle, will you? That way there is nothing inside of you, no bitterness can come into your heart because you are making a great choice to protect and guard your heart will all diligence, right?

Our Covenant of Wealth

March 19, 2011 by Olga 4 Comments

Our Covenant of Wealth

by Olga Hermans

We have a covenant with God and in that covenant is the guarantee of wealth. These are desperate time for people who do not know their covenant with God; we have to know what is in our covenant. We need to know how much God wants

to bless us, how much He wants to provide for us and how good He is. That provision is all part of what is set before us as it says in Psalm 23 “there is set before us a table in the presence of our enemies.”

You and I can live in these times and we can thrive and not just survive, we can flourish and we’re not going to fail!
2Chron.16:9 says: For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is willing or loyal or perfect toward him.

This is a covenant scripture; the word STRONG in the Hebrew means WEALTH. So, God wants to show His Wealth to us; He wants to demonstrate His Wealth to us.

Our covenant with God is His total commitment to support us, defend us, protect us and provide for us. God wants to provide for us. God has a covenant-passion and a determination. It is rooted in LOVE and it all comes from His LOVE. It comes from that overwhelming Love that He has for you and I to get that to us; it is a demonstration of that LOVE.

There is a covenant demonstration to locate his covenant people and to bless them. He is looking throughout the whole earth. There are people that have rejected it, because they have been taught something different and criticized this teaching. But you know, I want to receive everything that He has for me, what about you?

The devotion that God has toward us is an undying devotion that compels Him to extend Himself to us with everything He is and with everything He has. God is searching and looking for us.

We cannot say in our heart, “my power and the might of mine hand have gotten me this wealth”. NO!! But you shall remember the LORD thy God: for it is He that gives thee power to get wealth that He may establish his covenant which he swore unto thy fathers, as it is this day. Deut 8:17-18

God has given us the POWER to get wealth. That is what the Bible says! Dare to believe God! Why does God give us the power to get wealth? It says “that He may establish his covenant which he swore unto thy fathers”.

We can see that in two ways:
1. To establish His covenant on the earth.
2. To establish His part of the covenant.

So that you and I in these times that we are living in we can thrive. It is because of the covenant that He has with us. Wealth is His part of the covenant.

A covenant is an exchange, we exchange with God in that covenant. Everything that He has and everything that He is, is ours. In that covenant exchange God is compelled to give that to us. We have to learn that in a covenant exchange, we give the other part everything that we have.

We are in covenant with God and He has given us everything that He has, everything that pertains to life and godliness. Life is everything you need! Prosperity is a sign of the covenant. Deut 8:18 NLT says remember the LORD your God. He is the One who gives you power to be successful, in order to fulfill the covenant He confirmed to your ancestors with an oath.

We are symbol of the BLESSING, of the covenant with God in this earth and that is what His wealth upon the earth does. He establishes His covenant on the earth through that wealth and he gets done what He needs to get done. God gives us the wealth in order to establish His covenant by evangelism, preaching and teaching (maybe blogging too 🙂 ) God is looking for people who preach that side of the covenant, who will let you know that it is God’s will for you to walk in His wealth.

I choose to believe the covenant; everything that pertains to life and godliness is in it. If we don’t believe it, who will? God believes in us, so it should be an easy choice for us to believe Him especially because He has written it all down for us to read and to apply it to our life, how easy can it get? Choose to believe!
