Open Heaven 20 January 2025 TOPIC: He Is Able and Willing

MEMORISE: “Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,” – Ephesians 3:20 (KJV)

READ: Mark 1:40-45 (KJV)

40 And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

41 And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand and touched him and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean.

42 And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed.

43 And he straitly charged him and forthwith sent him away;

44 And saith unto him, See thou say nothing to any man, but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded for a testimony unto them.

45 But he went out and began to publish it much and to blaze abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city but was without in desert places, and they came to him from every quarter.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Exodus 14-16

Open Heaven for Today’s Message:

As discussed yesterday, God is the source of all help, and He is able to help you in any situation. He said in Jeremiah 32:27, “Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me?” He told Sarah in Genesis 18:9-14 that she was going to have a son, and she laughed. He responded, “Is anything too hard for the Lord to do?” Your case is not too hard for God; He can do ALL things.

One of my daughters had been believing God for the fruit of the womb, but the doctors told her that she could never have a child. One day, a relative called her husband and said, “Stop wasting your money because your wife cannot have a child.”

When he asked why, the relative said it was because witches had removed her womb. Soon after that, she came to a Holy Ghost Service, and the word of God came thus: “There is someone here; you have no womb, but God says He will give you a set of twins.” That month, she became pregnant.

When she was set to deliver, her husband asked the doctors to perform a Caesarean section on her. The surgeon took out the twins and said, “I have been practicing medicine for 34 years; this is the first time I have brought out a set of twins without a womb.”

We rejoiced over that testimony, and several years later, I got a phone call from her saying that she wanted to visit me with her twins. I was expecting her to bring the twins that we all rejoiced over, but she came with a new set of twins! There is a God who can do the incredible and surprise you beyond your wildest imagination. I pray that as He lives, He will give you a miracle today, in Jesus’ name.

Not only is God able to help you, He is also willing. In today’s Bible reading, a leper came to Jesus and said that he knew Jesus could make him clean, but he wasn’t sure if He was willing.

Beloved, you may be thinking, “I know God is a miracle worker; I have seen Him working, and I have heard countless testimonies, but I am not sure if He is willing to help me.” I decree, in the name of the One who called me, your day has come. Go ahead and ask Him for help, and you will receive that help, in Jesus’ name.

Lord, I know You are willing and able; please help me!

Open Heaven 20 January 2025 HYMN 15 – Pass Me Not, O Gentle Saviour

1. Pass me not, O gentle saviour
Hear my humble cry.
While on others Thou art calling
Do not pass me by.

Saviour, Saviour
Hear my humble cry.
While on others Thou art calling
Do not pass me by.

2 Let me at thy throne of mercy
Find a sweet relief;
Kneeling there in deep contribution
Help my unbelief.

3 Trusting only in the Thy merit
Would I seek thy face?
Heal my wounded, broken spirit,
Save me by thy grace.

4 Thou, the spring of all my comfort
More than life to me
Whom have I on earth beside Thee?
Whom in Heaven but Thee?

PRAYER

Lord Jesus, come into my life. I accept You as my Lord and personal Saviour. I believe in my heart you died and rose from the dead to save me. Thank You, Lord, for saving me, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
