Open Heaven 22 October 2022 – The Word IV

Open Heaven 22 October 2022 TOPIC: The Word IV

MEMORISE: “He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.” – Psalm 107:20 (KJV)

READ: Psalm 107:17-20 (KJV)

17 Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.

18 Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death.

19 Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses.

20 He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Mark 8-9

Open Heaven 22 October 2022 MESSAGE:

The word of God has tremendous power to heal sicknesses and diseases. When you need healing, study the word. Our memory verse today says that the word of God can be sent to heal and deliver from destruction.

When you send something to someone, you do it through a medium. One medium of sending the word of God is the Bible. Thus, in your Bible, God has already sent you the word that you need to be healed of any sickness or disease. When you study the testimonies of other people’s healings and the promises of God concerning your health in the Bible, the power of God can jump from the Scriptures to your body and heal you.

The second medium through which God sends His word to heal is a man or woman of God. In 2 Kings 2:19-22, the Bible says that the waters were healed according to the word of Elisha. In 2 Kings 5:10, the moment Elisha told Naaman to go and wash in the Jordan, the power to heal leprosy went into the river.

For a long time, anytime we held The Holy Ghost Service in Nigeria, after preaching, I would lay hands on everybody for healing and all manner of miracles happened. One day, I stood laying hands on ten thousand people for over 5 hours. After that, I knew I couldn’t do it alone, so I called some Pastors together and gave each of them ties that I had worn at previous Holy Ghost Services. The anointing had rubbed off on the ties so when they wore them and joined me in laying hands, miracles happened. However, we grew so much that there was no way we could lay hands on everyone. The Lord said to me, “While you are preaching the word, the healings can be taking place at the same time”. That is how God started telling me, right in the middle of the sermon, as He was healing people. As soon as the Lord started to speak during the sermon, I would announce it to the people saying, “God said there is someone here; He has healed you of such and such”.

While the word is going on through the man or woman of God, healing can be taking place. Now, I speak the word of God to you: be healed in Jesus’ name.

Open Heaven 22 October 2022 KEY POINT:

When a man of God is preaching, be sensitive to connect in the Spirit because the Lord could be sending a word to you during that sermon.

Open Heaven 22 October 2022 HYMN 16: O God, Our Help In Ages Past

1 O God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come,
our shelter from the stormy blast,
and our eternal home:

2 Under the shadow of your throne
your saints have dwelt secure;
sufficient is your arm alone,
and our defense is sure.

3 Before the hills in order stood,
or earth received its frame,
from everlasting you are God,
to endless years the same.

4 A thousand ages in your sight
are like an evening gone,
short as the watch that ends the night
before the rising sun.

5 Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
soon bears us all away;
we fly forgotten, as a dream
dies at the op’ning day.

6 O God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come,
still be our guard while troubles last,
and our eternal home!
