LIFE KEYS FOR AN OPEN HEAVEN
“Sir… STAY ON THE LINE . . .”
(By Doing, FIRST THINGS FIRST)
Many of us Have Read The Sermon on the Mount, many times. It is Three Chapters in Matthew, Chapters 5, 6, and 7, where Jesus gave some practical teaching on “HOW TO DO LIFE WELL.”  In each of these Chapters JESUS gives us KEYS, to keeping an “Open Heaven” “Or Stay On The Line” in our lives.
1, Matthew 5:21-26, NKJV, Jesus on Anger. 
21 "You have heard that it was said to those of old, 'You shall not murder, and whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment.' 
22 But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment. And whoever says to his brother, 'Raca!' [you empty headed fool] shall be in danger of the council. But whoever says, 'You fool!' shall be in danger of hell fire. 
23 Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, 
24 leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. 
25 Agree with your adversary quickly, while you are on the way with him, lest your adversary deliver you to the judge, the judge hand you over to the officer, and you be thrown into prison. 
26 Assuredly, I say to you, you will by no means get out of there till you have paid the last penny.    (See also Matthew 18:34-35)
HAVE YOU EVER DRIVEN YOUR CAR WITHOUT REALISING YOUR HAND BRAKE WAS ON???
(The Engine is working Hard, There’s just no Power, and the Car seems to be Internally Haemorrhaging) 
A, In GOD’S Kingdom, BROKEN RELATIONSHIPS GO BOTH WAYS, THEY ARE BOTH HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL.
B, And 2ndly, Our GIFTS WE BRING TO GOD, ARE QUALIFIED AND SANCTIFIED BY OUR PERSONAL OBEDIENCE, AND OUR HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS.
VERSE 24, tells us To FIRST be Reconciled to Our Brother before We bringing OUR GIFTS to GOD.
In other words, Our Gifts for the Altar are NOT to be Offered, UNTIL we have Right Relationships with those around us. 
HERE’S A SIMPLE TRUTH,
WHEN YOU WALK IN FORGIVENESS, The HEAVENS WILL BE OPEN TO YOU. 
MATTHEW 6:9-13, NKJV. The LORDS PRAYER. 
11 Give us this day our daily bread. 
12 And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors. 
13 And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. 
Don Basham, who was one of William Branham’s Helpers, in Branham’s Healing Crusades, told us Missionaries in Lae PNG,  that there were MORE people HEALED in the Phone Box across the Road from the Revival Tent, when they Apologised and Sort Reconciliation and Extended Forgiveness, than in the Actual Prayer Lines for Healing in the Meetings. Our Healing Happens When WE walk in a Spirit of FORGIVENESS and Reconciliation towards others.  DEAF MAN at Mt Hagen Xmas Conference.
VERSE 24, of Matthew 5 tells us what to DO, Leave your gift at the Altar, and FIRST be Reconciled, and Then come and offer your gift.      (Example Stories I’ve Experienced)
A, Lendin Batuna, Moresby YWAM 1972
     A Broken Relationship with others = Broken fellowship with God.  (For 3 Days I Couldn’t Find God’s Presence)
B, Man with Arthritis at Hoguteru 1977
(Someone had killed his brother, and they were consulting a witchdoctor and planning a revenge, so God Wouldn’t Heal Him.)
C, School teacher’s wife at Windorah, with Tormenting Spirts, in her house. Matt18:34-35.
ACTS 3:19, Says…. (NKJV) 
19 Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord,
Q. Is there someone You need to go to, and     apologise to, and Say sorry ?
Q. Is there someone you need to go and Put Something Right With Them ?
Q. Is there someone you need to Forgive? JESUS said….. Do It First, Forgive and be Reconciled, and then come worship God with your Gift, and your Gift will be both received and rewarded.
