THE DOOR IS STANDING OPEN! “After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: (Rev. 4:1, KJV). The door is standing open— now! Heaven is accessible — now! Sonship is attainable — now! Immortality and glory are obtainable — now! The throne is reachable — now! The Voice is calling — now! The door is standing open! Aren’t you glad! WHAT IS LACKING IS A PEOPLE THAT ARE IN CONSCIOUSNESS IN HEAVENLY DIMENSION (THINGS) now; so alive to the things that are eternal, the things that are spirit, that even without them speaking this explicitly, their very presence exudes the atmosphere of life and the fragrance of the heavenly. God is preparing a people, a heavenly and celestial race, set in time. “…and hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: that in the ages to come He might show…” (Eph. 2:6-7). This is meaningless prattle UNLESS THE SPIRIT OPENS OUR UNDERSTANDING! We have been warned by the carnal minded of this age about the danger of being so “heavenly minded” until we are “no earthly good.” That is what the world says, and what should you expect from the world but to controvert and take the wisdom of God and so distort and pervert it until it appears ridiculous and absurd to have mankind believe exactly the reverse! But these words are being written to show that we have no choice, no option as to whether we will be heavenly minded or not, for we have heard the Voice calling, “Come up hither,” and we stand in the blazing glory of the door opened in the heavens. The truth is, my beloved, IF WE ARE NOT HEAVENLY MINDED IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO BE OF ANY EARTHLY GOOD! IT IS ONLY AS THE POWER REACHES DOWN AND TOUCHES EARTH that it can be raised and quickened, transformed from the image of the earthly into the image of the heavenly. And Paul, the apostle of apostles, through whom the sacred secrets of God were revealed by the grace of God, defying the empty and inane cavilings of men and their fruitless doctrines and HOLLOW TRADITIONS, ADMONISHED THOSE WHO WOULD BE THE SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF GOD in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, “Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the HEAVENLY CALLING…if ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which ARE ABOVE, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things ABOVE, NOT ON THINGS ON THE EARTH. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God” (Heb. 3:1; Col. 3:1-3). J. Preston Eby
