The gateway to heaven

 Then he dreamed, and behold, a ladder was set up on the earth, and its top reached to heaven; and there the angels of God were ascending and descending on it. Genesis 28:12

Jacob was running away from his murderous brother Esau and heading to an unknown destination. In the middle of nowhere, he just found a random place to sleep and took one of the stones with him to lay his head. As he saw this vision, he was astonished to see angels ascending and descending the ladder to heaven.  Jacob then met the Lord. God gave him the promise that his descendants would be blessed and that He would always be with Jacob. 

As compared to the Old Testament, we now have direct access to heaven as Jesus said, “You will see the heavens opened and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man. John 1:51”. 

Jesus is the gateway to heaven. We are blessed to have direct access to the heavenly realm where we can experience God's presence and receive His promises!

Blessing prayer: : You see the gateway to heaven, angels ministering to you day and night. The eyes and ears of your heart can see the promises that God has made to you. Your heart will always remember His promises like Jacob made the pillar to remember the divine encounter. Thank God that Jesus is our Bethel, the gate of heaven and the house of God among us. I pray that the divine presence of God assures you at all times and that His promises to you will come to pass. In Jesus' name, Amen!
