MEMORISE: Behold, the LORD’s hand is not shortened, that
it cannot save; Neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear – Isaiah 59:1

9 After this manner
therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our

Open
Heaven 14 July 2021 MESSAGE:
Our Lord Jesus Christ taught us what the contents of our prayers
should be in the Scripture reading of today. We must draw some eternal lessons
from this passage. One, we must acknowledge the Fatherhood of God if we want to
receive answers to our prayers. Jesus Christ said…it is not meet to take the children’s
bread, and to cast it to dogs. Matthew
15:26. Who are the dogs? The Bible in Revelation
22:15 says:
“For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and
murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.”
Secondly, we must learn that only those who honour the name of
the Lord can have their prayers answered. The Bible says:

Marriage
“… for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise
me shall be lightly esteemed.”
“1 Samuel 2:30”
Finally, every child of God must seek that the will of God be
done in this perverse generation. For this reason, Apostle Paul wrote in Romans 12:1-2
“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that
ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is
your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye
transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good,
and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”
Children of God who want to be successful in life must ensure
that they are not influenced by anything contrary to the word of God. If you
want your prayers answered, abide in Christ and let His word abide in you, as
recorded in John 15:7:
“If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what
ye will, and it shall be done unto you.”
Psalm 66:18 also says:
“If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:”
Abide in Jesus, turn your back on sin completely, exercise your
faith James 1:6 and your prayers
will surely be answered.
Open Heaven 14 July 2021 ACTION POINT:
Lord, grant me the grace to abide in You, live in holiness and exercise
my faith, that all my prayers may be answered, in the mighty name of Jesus

HYMN 5: SWEET HOUR OF
PRAYER
1. Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
that calls me from a world of care,
and bids me at my Father’s throne
make all my wants and wishes known.
In seasons of distress and grief,
my soul has often found relief,
and oft escaped the tempter’s snare
by thy return, sweet hour of prayer!
2. Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
the joys I feel, the bliss I share
of those whose anxious spirits burn
with strong desires for thy return!
With such I hasten to the place
where God my Savior shows his face,
and gladly take my station there,
and wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!
3. Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
thy wings shall my petition bear
to him whose truth and faithfulness
engage the waiting soul to bless.
And since he bids me seek his face,
believe his word, and trust his grace,
I’ll cast on him my every care,
and wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!
