Unveiling Heaven's Agenda

1. Unveiling Heaven’s Agenda

2. Pray specifically for
divine setup where the
Spirit of God has the
opportunity to use you
mightily to accomplish
something supernatural
and impossible.

3. Ask the Holy Spirit
to give you a word
of empowerment
and identity for
someone in this
room.

4. Introduction
• SNEAK PREVIEWS are SPECIAL
SHOWINGS of something (such as a movie,
play, or product) BEFORE it becomes
AVAILABLE to the general public. It is an
OPPORTUNITY to SEE (a ​part of)
something NEW BEFORE the REST of
the ​public ​sees it. “God, the Master Producer
and Orchestrator of life, has some surprises
in store for us all. He just loves to tell secrets
to His own. And throughout history, He has
given glimpses of what was to come” (Bill
Johnson, “Hosting The Presence”, p. 81).

5. Introduction
• “It is the glory of God to conceal a matter,
but the glory of kings is to search out a
matter” (Proverbs 25:2). We often LIVE our
lives in a PERPETUAL WAITING ROOM,
only expecting, never PURSUING and
SEARCHING OUT (actively involved) what
GOD wants to REVEAL. We must
CHANGE the WAY we THINK when it
comes to receiving answers from Heaven.
In the KINGDOM, things are HIDDEN to be
FOUND, not to be concealed and remain
mysterious.

6. Introduction
• JESUS said, “Ask, and it will be given to you;
seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be
opened to you. For everyone who asks
receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to
the one who knocks it will be opened” (Matthew
7:7-8, Luke 11:9-10). The verbs ASK, SEEK,
and KNOCK are all CONTINUOUS ACTION.
The BELIEVER is to EXERT continuous
EFFORT and ENERGY into DISCOVERING
GOD, His WILL, and His KINGDOM. In the
Sermon on the Mount, JESUS stated, “But seek
first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness,
and all these things will be added to you”
(Matthew 6:33).

7. Introduction
• JESUS often used ILLUSTRATIONS and
PARABLES to TEACH and/or communicate with
the people. At times, the PARABLES were
DIFFICULT to UNDERSTAND. Therefore, the
disciple asked Him, “Why?” His answer came with
strong WARNING and great PROMISE (Matthew
13:11-17; Luke 8:9-10). Note JESUS stated, “…It
has been given to you to know the mysteries of the
Kingdom of Heaven…” (Matthew 13:11). The word
“KNOW” (ginosko) means to “KNOW (absolute),
allow, BE AWARE (of), feel, (have) KNOWLEDGE,
be resolved, PERCIEVE, be sure, UNDERSTAND,
speak”. It suggests that KNOWLEDGE is
DISCOVERABLE. It is HIDDEN; it must be
FOUND.

8. Introduction
• Why does GOD HIDE things from us and
yet EXTEND an INVITATION to SEARCH
them out? Simple. The answer is so that we
DISCOVER TRUTH, revelation,
discernment, understanding, direction, and
answers. SEEKERS and ACHIEVERS
receive MORE (Matthew 13:12) It is the
LAW of NATURE: the EARLY BIRD gets
the worm. It is the LAW of GOD. “Blessed
are they which do hunger and thirst after
righteousness: for they shall be filled”
(Matthew 5:6).

9. Introduction
• However, the non-dreamer and complacent
receive little and get less (Matthew 13:13-
15). Nevertheless, TRUE BELIEVERS are
SEEKERS and ACHIEVERS; because of
their continuous pursuit, they receive
MORE and are blessed with MORE (vv. 16-
17). The KEY to this is SEEING and
HEARING- aggressive continuous action.
God does not just intend to give us what we
need; but out of RELATIONSHIP and
INTIMACY with us, He wants to SHARE
HIS HEART on the very things we are
SEEKING out.

10. Introduction
• During the process, the LORD gives a
SNEAK PREVIEW of what is to COME.
He provides a GLIMPSE of the COMING
ATTRACTION to ensure our TRUST in
HIM. “O taste and see that the LORD is
good: blessed is the man that trusts in
Him” (Psalm 34:8). The LORD says,
“Behold, the former things have come to
pass, and new things I now declare;
before they spring forth I tell you of them”
(Isaiah 42:9).

11. Introduction
• “Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it
springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will
make a way in the wilderness and rivers in
the desert” (Isaiah 43:19). “…From this
time forth I announce to you new things,
hidden things that you have not known”
(Isaiah 48:6). In conclusion, it is not so
much about what we need FROM HIM,
but it becomes about everything we
receive IN HIM. Everything we are
SEARCHING for is ACCESSIBLE in HIS
PRESENCE!

48. Conclusion
• The Church is receiving SNEAK PREVIEWS of
the GLORY of GOD and His KINGDOM. These
SNEAK PREVIEWS are GLIMPSES of COMING
ATTRACTIONS. They reveal the PLAN and
PURPOSE of GOD. They are INSIGHTS into the
KINGDOM of GOD. Like Jacob, who received a
glimpse of God in Genesis 28, we have received
a glimpse of the glory of God (John 1:14). JESUS
is the HOUSE of GOD; He is the GATE of
HEAVEN. In Him, we shall see GREATER
THINGS; we shall see HEAVEN OPENED (vv. 50-
51). Such is characterized by an OPEN HEAVEN,
the VOICE of GOD, and a CONTINUOUS FLOW
of the SUPERNATURAL/ANGELIC activity from
Heaven to earth.
