EPISODE 7

Opening Heavenly Gates and Portals

Have you ever wondered what happens in the spirit realm when we engage in sustained worship, intercession, or prophetic declaration? Take a deep dive into the biblical foundations for spiritual gates and portals in this special episode with Pastor Tom Hardiman and Michael Fickess.

Key Scriptures

  • Genesis 28:10-17
  • John 1:51
  • John 10:9
  • John 14:6
  • Matthew 27:50-53
  • Hebrews 10:19-25
  • Isaiah 22:22
  • Matthew 16:19
  • Revelation 3:20
  • Revelation 4:1

Application Questions for Individual and Small Group Study

1- Why is it important for believers to maintain a Christocentric (or Christ-centered) view of concepts like gateways and portals?

2- Why is it important for believers to understand that we have access to heaven through Jesus Christ and his finished works?

3- In this episode, Tom describes how Ireland was transformed through the ministry of Patrick and subsequent years of ongoing prayer and worship. What lessons can we learn from this historical example that could apply to our own cities, regions, and nations in the twenty-first century?

4- Tom also describes how two young girls claimed a building for God and saw the fruit of their prayers many decades later. What people in your life would be willing to partner with you in prayer to claim your workplace, your neighborhood, or another location for the Lord?

5- Why is it important to remember that “doors work both ways” in our discussion of spiritual gates and portals? What did believers do to “open the door” to the Spirit in Acts 2? What did it look like, sound like, and feel like when the Lord answered?
