It is, therefore, possible for you to be in a place where the Presence of God is and not feel or perceive it. When Jacob woke up, he said: ‘Surely, the Lord is in this place, and I was not aware of it’ (Gen 28:16). God looked down and saw Jacob, and He started to communicate with him. The Bible says that God was standing in the ‘doorway’, above the stairs (v13), meaning that God was guarding the portal. When Jacob was lying there, his heart’s desire was being transferred to heaven. They ascend with your prayer and descend with your answer. If angels were ascending, this shows us that angels are already here: that the angels of the Lord already walk with us. Jacob saw a portal in heaven (open) and the angels were ascending and descending upon this staircase. Every discomfort is a place of encounter.

If you don’t know how to treat your discomfort, you will not perceive that it is a set up for you to draw near to God. Every discomfort in your life is designed for you to have an encounter with God. And it was in that discomfort that he had a dream (v12). He understood that he had a journey set out before him, so he endured discomfort. Jacob knew that if he became too comfortable sleeping, he might not be able to wake up. On his way to Harran, Jacob (Gen 28:10-18) needed to rest one evening, so he took a stone and lay his head on it to sleep. But God had to make sure that the food came through a channel that was not tampered with, so God opened a portal in heaven and delivered the food to the Israelites through it. No one was sick or weak for 40 years because they were eating manna (food prepared for them in heaven). Demons couldn’t stop it because God opened a portal in heaven and the manna came through it this is why it is also referred to as angel’s food. When the Israelites needed food, God provided manna. Psalm 78:23-24 New International Version (NIV)Ģ3Yet he gave a command to the skies above and opened the doors of the heavens 24He rained down manna for the people to eat, He gave them the grain of heaven. God has designed portals to originate in the third heaven, travel through the second heaven, and open upon the earth. According to the Bible, it is a spherical opening of light that offers divine protection through/by which angels and heavenly beings can come and go without demonic interference. A portal (in layman’s terms) is a doorway or entry point.
