Open Heaven Thursday 3rd September 2015: God's Goodness Is Coming

By

Jesus

 Memorise:
I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. Psalm 27:13

Read: Psalm 27:12-14
12 Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.
13 I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
14 Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.

Message
Despondency is a tool the devil uses to steal people’s vision. He injects this poison into a man’s heart through the experience of loss and suffering.

That today is bad and the future looks bleak does not mean that your tomorrow will be terrible.

 As long as you are in Christ, you can rest assured that your tomorrow will be alright.
Don’t give up on your vision! Even if the devil stole a particular blessing from you, don’t give him your vision.
Dry up your tears because you need clear eyes to see new opportunities that God is giving to you.
In fact, the avenue to your recovery can be around you as we speak, but as long as your eyes are flooded with tears, you will see only the situation and not the opportunities.
Has the enemy taken everything from you like he did to job? that could just mean that like Job, you too are goin through a trial of your faith.
Don’t give up on God!
Don’t let the devil take your joy, because the joy of the Lord is your strength.
The knowledge that God is with you in that particular situation, and that the devil has clear boundaries with regards to the extent and timing of your trial should comfort your heart (Job 1:12 & 2:6). Make sure that like Job, after your trial, you emerge as gold.
 In addition to putting an end to tears, you also need to encourage yourself in the Lord (1st Samuel 30:6).
To succeed in life and in the Christian race set before you, don’t be surprised that in the midst of certain situations, the things or people you thought you would draw great motivation from could end up becoming the source of great discouragement.
In 1st Samuel 30:4-6, after David had wept over
his losses, he encouraged himself in the Lord. This
shows that he remembered God’s unlimited ability
after he had lost all hope in his own ability. Hope
and strength came to him after this. No wonder he
confessed in Psalms 27:13 that:
“I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the
goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.”
David went through situations that swallowed his
hope and made him despair even of life, but when
he remembered who God is, what He had done and
what He could do, his hope came alive again. He
therefore declared that in spite of his current
unpleasant situation, he would still experience the
goodness of the Lord while alive, and it was so.
Take courage, believe and confess that the
negative situation you are currently experiencing
will not kill you. Don’t allow it rob you of your
tomorrow. You shall see God’s goodness in the land of the living in Jesus’ Name.

Key Point:
What you focus on in the time of trial will determine its effect on you. If you focus on your loss, you will lose strength, but if you focus on God, you will gain strength and hope.

THEME: You Can Create Whatever You Desire John 16:21-27 The instrument with which you exercise dominion over creation is your mouth.You can create whatsoever you desire by speaking that thing into existence.Whatever you say begins to exist in the spiritual form.Jesus said in John 6:63,"The words that I speak unto you,they are spirit,and they are life". In like manner,you create whatever you say and the things begin to exist in the spiritual form.What you create through words also have life and they continue to live until they find physical expression.  This is exactly what happens when you pray.The things you declare in prayer come alive and begin to exist in their spiritual form.They remain in that spiritual form until they are converted to their tangible equivalent through work. Jesus said,"until now you have asked nothing in My name.Ask,and you will receive,that your joy may be full" (John 16:24). Don't make the mistake of relaxing after you have pray...

Sin Stained...or Blood Washed?

By
This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; and their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.  (Hebrews 10:16-17) The Bible tells us that under Levitical law, an animal had to be offered every year to atone for the sins of the people. That word atone means "to cover" and it's used continually throughout the Old Testament. But let me tell you something exciting. It's never used in the New Testament. The Greek word used to describe what Jesus did for us on the cross is a different word altogether. It doesn't just mean "to cover"—it means "to remit; to do completely away with something." Do you know what that means? It means there is no longer a sin problem. Jesus solved it! When you made Him your Lord, He didn't just cover your sins, He put you into right-standing with God and re-created you by the Spirit of God a...

You Must Forgive Yourself Hebrews 12:1-11 You have heard quite a lot about forgiving those that have offended you – and that you must do. It happens often that the person you must really forgive is yourself. You may have committed an offence or a sin and your conscience has condemned you, just as the Holy Spirit has chastised you. You may also have repented of this sin, confessed it to God and resolved not to go back that way. But you discover that the heaviness, clouded vision, and the erosion of confidence occasioned by the sin you committed continue to weigh you down. At such moments, you need to make another type of confession to God in order to regain your liberty from the weight that holds you down. You have to confess your unbelief in His word that says, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9). When you have genuinely repented of a sin and confessed it to God; and you have pleaded ...
