Bethel

Genesis 28:16-19.And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the Lord is in this place; and I knew it not. And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.  And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put for his pillows, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil upon the top of it. And he called the name of that place Bethel:
Just returned from an awesome conference in Altus, Oklahoma. Such a blessing to be a part of so many prophetic and apostolic ministries. As part of my message today, I spoke on open heavens and open gates. I spoke about Jacob finding an open heaven and hearing God's voice. He saw angels ascending and descending on a ladder from that very spot. And when he realized that he had discovered an opening into the heavenlies, he built an altar of a stone and poured out the oil as an act of consecration and to make a memorial of the site. And so we did the same today. We were given seven stones and we prayed over them and anointed them with oil and wine (symbolizing the new wine of the Holy Spirit) and then we consecrated and made a memorial of where God showed us an open heaven at the southwest gate.
What does this have to do with the everyday prophetic life? It means that in those places that you have found God,(such as in your heart) in those places where you have seen angels ascending and descending, consecrate it with oil (the oil of anointing) and wine (the power of the Holy Spirit). And watch transformation begin! This Pastor Susan Living the Everyday Prophetic Life and rejoicing in the open heavens.
