Dear reader, have you ever wondered why sometimes you feel nothing when you pray? The reason may be that you have not thanked, praised, or worshiped God before you began your prayer. These are the three keys to the gates of heaven that lead you into the heavenly presence of God.
Heaven has Gates.
First, we need to understand that heaven has gates. The Bible talks of a Gate to Heaven (Genesis 28:17)and the twelve Gates to the New Jerusalem (Revelation 21:21).
Heavens Gates are usually locked.
Second, we need to know that the purpose of any gate is to keep a place secure. Therefore the Gates to Heaven are always locked tokeep heaven a secure place. In fact, only our God the Father, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit and God’s Angels know the codes for opening these Heavenly Gates.
Here are the keys for opening heaven.
In fact, the keys to opening the Heaven’s Gates are found in this important Bible Verse:
Enter his gates with thanksgiving
and his courts with praise;
give thanks to him and praise his name.
Psalm 100:4
Key number 1: Give thanks.
First, give thanks to God before prayer for all the good things He has done for you. Thank Him for the life He has given you. Thank him for the Salvation He has given you. Thank God for your family, your accommodation, your health, and for many other things.
The Bible says:
I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart;
I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.
Psalm 9:1
Key number 2: Praise God.
Second, praise God’s wonderful Name and praise Him for his creation. Praise the Name of Jesus and the Holy Spirit.
I will praise God’s name in song
and glorify him with thanksgiving.
31 This will please the Lord more than an ox,
more than a bull with its horns and hooves.
Psalm 69:30-31
Key number 3: Worship God.
Third, worship God before prayer. The Church has many worship songs. Use one of these to worship God.
A combination of thanksgiving, praise, and worshiping God will act as the keys that will be able you to open the Heavenly Gate to usher you into God’s Heavenly presence.
