OPEN HEAVEN 1 June 2021 TOPIC: Is God Silent?
MEMORISE: Behold, the LORD’S hand
is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot
hear: – Isaiah 59:1
READ: Isaiah 59:1-3 (KJV)
1 Behold, the LORD’S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save;
neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:
2 But your iniquities have separated between you and your God,
and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.
3 For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Hebrews 5-7

Heaven 1 June 2021 MESSAGE:
Usually, when people think God is silent, He may be speaking but
they are just not listening. At other times, they don’t want to accept what He
has to say. God can also be silent when your covenant with Him has been broken.
This happened with King Saul who wanted to hear from God as well as familiar
spirits.

IS YOURS
If you have prayed to know God’s mind on certain issues and He
seems to be silent, turn the searchlight on yourself. God is never at fault;
check your heart, sincerity and willingness to accept His plan for you. God
refuses to speak to some people simply because they have idols in their hearts.
Never allow your desire to stand between you and God. When it appears as if God
is silent, then there may be something you have to give up. Ezekiel 14:3 says:
“Son
of man, these men have set up their idols in their heart, and put the
stumblingblock of their iniquity before their face: should I be enquired of at
all by them?”
OPEN HEAVEN FOR TODAY 1 JUNE 2021
Some people cannot hear God because sin has created a barrier
between them and God (Isaiah 59:1-3) or they have a wrong motive. James 4:3 says:
“Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may
consume it upon your lusts.”
For your prayers to be answered, you need to bring down the
glory of God. God’s glory brings deliverance. Psalm 24:8 says the Lord of glory
is strong and mighty in battle. I recall a student who wet himself in an
examination hall. He was going to be excused from the hall when he asked the
people around to send for his pastor. I was called and briefed of what
happened. I got to the place and discerning that the boy was under some demonic
manipulation, I commanded the foul spirit to lose its hold in Jesus’ name. God
answered and he was immediately set free. He changed his clothes, returned to
the hall and finished before everybody else. Just imagine what would have
happened if I had not been in tune with the Spirit of God to know what to do.
The shortest way of calling God’s attention when it seems He is
silent is through intense praise. God dwells in the praises of His people. His
glory announces His person and presence; it is a revelation of His power and
awesomeness. No enemy can stand His glory. Call on Him today, listen to what He
has to say and watch your life turn around for good.
Open Heaven 1 June 2021 ACTION POINT:
Meditate
over all what God has told you in the past and see whether you have ignored
any. If you have, repent and restitute your ways.

1.
All hail the pow’r of Jesus’ Name!
Let angels prostrate fall;
Bring forth the royal diadem,
And crown Him Lord of all!

chosen seed of Israel’s race,
Ye ransomed from the fall,
Hail Him Who saves you by His grace,
And crown Him Lord of all!

Let every kindred, every tribe,
On this terrestrial ball,
To Him all majesty ascribe,
And crown Him Lord of all!

We at His feet may fall!
We’ll join the everlasting song,
And crown Him Lord of all!
