Hi family, I'm Jordan Thorpe, and this is Jordan's Journey channel where we are moving forward in life and in faith. If you're new here, welcome. If you're already subscribed to the family, welcome back. Thank you so much for tuning in. And today, family, I wanted to talk to you in regards to all of heaven is opened. Okay, all of heaven is opened. Take what you need. Okay, we are in a time, in a season where blessings are being poured out upon us. Okay, blessings that you do not have room enough to receive. Okay, blessings are being poured on the children of God. So heaven is opened. That means God is taking cases in the courts of heaven. Okay, and so when I say take what you need, if there's something that you've been asking God for, or you need something in finances or something for your business or something for housing or whatever your case is, take it to the courts of heaven now. Present your case to God, and it's open. You have to meet him halfway and you have to act on faith, okay? Because faith is pleasing to God. The scriptures tell us that it's impossible to please God without faith. So this is a time where if you are needing something or in need of something, present your case to God in the courts of heaven. Get what you need now because God is pouring out blessings. Okay, we are in a season where God is pouring out blessings and he is opening up doors. And so, in my previous video, entitled Your Assignment is Too Great, you have to let them go. Many times, as God is elevating us and He is calling us to another level in our assignments, there will be people that we will have to let go. Okay, simply because many times what God is about to do in your life, the things that are happening in your life, it's not for everyone. Everyone can't handle the weight of your calling, everyone can't handle your elevation, your blessings. And many times being around the wrong people and having the wrong people in your ear, you can squander what God is doing. And so many times the blessings won't come until you are positioned properly to receive them. And many times that requires you to let people go. Everyone can't just latch on what God is about to do in your life, they're not qualified. Many of you have have been through training and God has tested the people, the hearts of the people around you. And not everyone has passed the test of integrity. Not everyone has passed the test of really wanting to see you win and having your best interest. And so they have to be let go because the blessings that are pouring in are not for everyone. Everyone is not able to handle the greatness. Everyone is not able to handle the greatness that God has placed on the on the inside of you. Many of you, your light shines bright. And so it's hard to stay around people who are in the dark for so long because they will constantly try to dim your light. And God is saying, Your light is too bright. And I've made your light bright because there's a great assignment on your life. And so, as I'm elevating you, you have to let go of those people who are constantly trying to dim your light. And so all of heaven is opened. Okay. All of heaven is open. God is saying, take what you need. Doors are opened. And so I want to read some scripture. I want to read some scripture, and this is coming from John. John one. And these are the first disciples. The first disciples are following Jesus. And we see that as they are following Jesus, Jesus is telling them that they will see greater things. So if we go to John 1, starting at verse 45, and it says, Philip went to look for Nathanael and told him, We have found the very person Moses and the prophets wrote about. His name is Jesus, the son of Joseph from Nazareth. Nazareth exclaimed Nathaniel, can anything good come from Nazareth? Come and see for yourself, Philip replied. As they approached, Jesus said, Now here is a genuine son of Israel, a man of complete integrity. How do you know about me? Nathaniel asked. Jesus replied, I could see you under the fig tree before Philip found you. Then Nathaniel exclaimed, Rabbi, you are the Son of God, the King of Israel. Jesus asked him, Do you believe this just because I told you I had seen you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than this. Then he said, I tell you the truth, you will see heaven open and the angels of God going up and down on the Son of Man, and the one who is the stairway between heaven and earth. Philip went to look for Nathaniel, told him, We have found the very person Moses and the prophets wrote about. His name is Jesus, the son of Joseph from Nazareth. Many of you have been on your path of really seeking God, really genuinely seeking a true relationship with God. And God is saying, You have found him, and he is with you. Okay? You have found him, and now that you have found him, you have decided to follow him, you have decided to lay down your life, lay down your own desires, and pick up your cross and follow him. Why is this important? Why is this important? Why does God reward and move on behalf of those who actually hear him and also decide to follow him? Because many people hear from God. God is in the makeup of everything we see of uh in everything we are. So many people hear from God, many people know what to do. Not many people actually make the changes and adjustments in their lives to actually be in the will of God for their life. There is a difference. And many of you have been seeking God and you made the proper adjustments to be in the will of God. And so there is no lukewarmness. And so he continues and says, Nazareth exclaimed, Nathaniel, can anything good from Nazareth come and see for yourself, Philip replied. As they approached, Jesus said, Now here is a genuine son of Israel, a man of complete integrity. How do you know about me, Nathaniel? Jesus replied, I could see you under the fig tree before Philip found you. So at first, Nathaniel was skeptical about Jesus. He was saying, How could anything come from Nazareth? How can anything good come from Nazareth? And then Jesus proved Hims to Nathaniel by telling Nathaniel about his life, saying, Yeah, I saw you under the fig tree before Philip found you. And Jesus saying, I saw you before Philip found you. I already knew who you were before Philip found you. And so that made Nathaniel a believer. And so Jesus is saying, Do you only believe because I told you that I knew who you were? That I saw you under that fig tree before Philip found you. Jesus is like, you will see greater things than this. And many of you have you have been seeing little things happen in your life. You have been seeing bits and pieces of things that you know it's God, that you know it's nothing but God, but we are in the season where you are going to see greater things. Greater things are happening in your life. Then he said, I will tell you the truth. You will see all of heaven open and the angels of God going up and down. God is saying, All of heaven is open. Heaven is open. Many of you have been knocking, many of you have been seeking. And God is saying the door is opened, heaven is open. Take what you need. We are in a season where the blessings are pouring in. I want to read Luke. Luke 11. Luke 11, starting at verse 9. And it reads, And so I tell you, keep on asking and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking and you will find. Keep on knocking and the door will be open to you. For everyone who asks, receive. Everyone who seeks finds, and to everyone who knocks, the door will be open. So for everyone who acts receives. So many of you have been asking God for things, and you're about to receive what you have been asking God for. Why? Because it tells us in his word that anyone who acts shall receive. Everyone who seeks finds. Many of you have been on a journey of truly seeking God wholeheartedly, truly seeking God for yourself, truly desiring to have relationship with him. And God is saying, You have found him. You have found him, you have been seeking him. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be open. And so as I was reading this scripture, God began to speak to me about someone knocking at a door. In order for someone to knock on the door, that means the door is closed. The door is closed, but you're knocking because you're hoping and having belief that the door is going to open, that someone is going to open that door. And so many of you have faced a lot of closed doors. There were some things that you have been praying, praying and asking God for, and the doors have been completely shut in your face. And God is saying, because you have kept your faith and you kept on knocking on those doors, even though they were closed, even though you faced many obstacles, even though the odds were against you, you kept on knocking. And now God is saying that door has opened. God is saying he has heard your cry, he has heard your knocking, and he has opened a door that no man can shut. God has opened up a door in your life that no man can shut. I want to read some scripture. Let's go to Revelation 3:8. Revelation 3.8. And it reads, I know all the things you do, and I have opened a door for you that no one can close. You have little strength, yet you obeyed my word and did not deny me. Look, I will force those who belong to Satan's synagogues, those liars who say they are Jews but are not, to come and bow down at your feet. They will acknowledge that you are the ones I love. Okay. And so this is directly Jesus speaking. Okay, and he's saying, I see everything that you have been doing behind the scenes. I see the rejection. I see the hardship. I see everything that has been happening. I see all the things that you have been doing without any validation, without any acknowledgement. People may not be seeing it, but God says, I see everything and I take into account everything. He says, I see you, and I have opened the door for you that no one can close. Many of you have been very cautious about sharing your good news and your blessings because every time you get close to something, it almost feels like it gets taken away from you. Or it feels like it's about to happen, but then it doesn't happen, and you get excited, and and then that leads to disappointment. And God's saying, This is not what this is. God is saying, There's there's a door that I have opened for you that no one can shut. God is saying, when I opened up the door, no one can shut that door. Many times things weren't working out for you because you were trying to open up your own doors. You were trying to rush the process, you were trying to do it your way on your time. But God says, when I open up a door, no one can shut the door that I open up for you because then they will know and you will know that this was nothing but God so that I can get the glory. God says, I know you have been knocking on the door. I know you have been pleading with me. And God is saying, I'm opening up a door for you that no one can shut. You have little strength, yet you obeyed my word and did not deny me. God is opening up this door because even in your hardship, even when you were down and out, even when you were overlooked and people were talking about you and dragging your name through the mud, God said you did not deny him. You kept your faith. And so he's saying, I will force those who belong to Satan's synagogues, those liars who say they are Jews but are not, to come bow down at your feet. So this is many of you are being elevated, the same people who looked down upon you, the same people who overlooked you, the same people who did not want to acknowledge you, acknowledge your gifts, acknowledge who you are, acknowledge the things that you have done. Those are going to be the same people who are come who are going to come to you asking for help, asking for guidance, asking for direction, asking for your service, those same people. They will acknowledge that you are the ones I love. Okay, there's going to be some acknowledgement. Okay, many of you have not been getting acknowledged in certain groups and certain organizations by certain people. Not that you're looking for acknowledgement, but these are the same people who know that they can use your product, service, or gifts, but they're refusing. There is a spirit of ego, there's a spirit of defiance, there's a spirit of jealousy that has been blocking them from acknowledging who you are and what you bring. And so God is saying they will acknowledge you. There's going to be an acknowledgement that is coming. God is saying, heaven is open, all of heaven is open. You have seen bits and pieces of miracles, bits and pieces of things that have happened in your life, but many of you are walking into greater, greater things you will see in the month moving forward. This is a month of greater. This is a month of above and beyond, no more average, no more bare minimum, no more bare minimum, no more bare minimum experiences, people. But this is a time where God is going above and beyond. There's going to be an above and beyond more than what you could have think or imagined or expected. Okay. And so that's all I have for now.
