The title quotes part of (Malachi 3:10). This verse is mostly used as a lesson to tithe, but there’s more if we move off its base message.
Have you ever given thought to God’s abundance of prosperity stored up for you? Maybe you have — but you can’t truly imagine it. Have you ever given thought to go deeper then how this verse is taught rather than its standard teaching? Maybe not — because we don’t want to ruffle God’s Word. Look, I’m going to move straight to the point here. The abundance and prosperity of God is endless; there – I said it. This is what God’s trying to illustrate in (Malachi 3:10) when He says, what He has for us we don’t have room enough to store, not ever. Not ever in this physical world called time, or the spiritual world called eternity; here’s why.
I’m leaving the tithing portion of this verse on the shelf for this illustration as I give some further understanding.
Believe this. Once you’ve received Jesus as Lord and Savior you became a new creature in Christ, (2nd Corinthians 5:17); eternity began for you right then because the old you died immediately within a twinkling of an eye. When that happened, you were no longer a resident of this world but still in it, (John 17:16).
So, what does all this mean? It means all Heavenly blessings has, [already done] are yours right now as I speak/write, (Ephesians 1:3) and we’re able to tap into them immediately. It means — being a new creature in Christ entitles us to what Jesus has, but at an appointed time, even though He’s in Heaven, [Also, read the Word of note]. It means they’re benefits in being saved. It means they’re blessings that are yours that come with being a resident of the Kingdom of God; things you didn’t know you had, have, or are entitled. These blessings will keep coming profusely – meaning: abundantly, unsparingly, lavishly, unrestrained, freely, without restriction, and never run out because they must last forever and are given throughout eternity, and how long is eternity?
This is why God wants to open the windows of Heaven and pour us all, blessings we don’t have rooms large enough nor even adequate numbers to store because there’s an eternity full of them for each born- again/saved person in wasteful proportions which this planet can’t hold because there just wouldn’t be in the least ample space or room; amazing. And God wants to give them up – He doesn’t need or want them – they’re gifts already ear-marked, and tithing is just one way He’s suggesting how He’ll release them, but I’m bypassing that for a moment.
What Heaven has for you can’t run out, it’s impossible, and it’s all yours right now — but are you ready for it. If you’re not in position to receive your blessings you’ve got to wait until you are, and so many of us are still waiting, but how long must we wait is all left up to us. This is what’s meant by at an appointed time. God will not wait one second more then what your heart reveals to Him about your readiness or not for your pre-approved possessions of un-restricted wealth and riches.
Of course, we must be patient and not anxious about anything, (Philippians 4:6) but living ungodly holds your abundance of prosperity back. Never moving toward what you wished and prayed for holds God’s abundance and prosperity back; in other words, our houses are not in order. We’ve got to live not of this world; just be in it living large through Christ.
Please don’t complain or blame God if your ship hasn’t come in. Check your house, do some biblical remodeling, make some biblical alterations, because what God has for you it’s impossible to run out, and how much of His abundance and prosperity is a non-issue.
Next time you read (Malachi 3:10), remember those blessings have already been assigned to you and it’ll be solely upon you to pull them down into this physical realm. Now go get the divine wrecking bar and go to work.

Word of note: Your house not being in order is your lifestyle. What are you pulling down through your five senses that’s seeding in your heart, because if it’s ungodly or have selfish implications you can forget about it? God does not reward the ungodly. The ungodly is of their father Satan, (John 8:43-45). Point two: The last time God opened the windows of Heaven it rained for 40 days and 40 nights and flooded the entire earth with water for over six mounts, (Genesis 7:11). God said He’d open those windows again — this time to do the same thing, but without the water, using blessings instead as the replacement; assured for each and every individual. Sounds like another flood to me; for me.
Bottom line, Scripture can handle all those roadblocks when you’re ready, but only through Jesus of course.
