Open Heaven 11 March 2024 TOPIC: Anointed Hands
MEMORISE: “Now when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them unto him, and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them.” – Luke 4:40 (KJV)
READ: Exodus 17:8-13 (KJV)
8 Then came Amalek and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
9 And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek: to morrow, I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in mine hand.
10 So Joshua did as Moses had said to him and fought with Amalek: Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.
11 And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, Israel prevailed; when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
12 But Moses’ hands were heavy, so they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat thereon. Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on one side and the other on the other side, and his hands were steady until the sun went down.
13 And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Joshua 23-24
Open Heaven 11 March 2024 MESSAGE
When you see a man of God laying hands on people, and they get healed, it is because those hands have been in contact with the fire of God. Ordinary hands become anointed once they come in contact with the fire of God.
In Exodus 3, when Moses threw his rod on the holy ground, it became a serpent, and the Lord asked him to pick the serpent up by the tail. As Moses bent to pick up the serpent, his hands also brushed the ground the fire had touched. From that day on, his hands became special. In Exodus 17:8-13, we see those hands deciding the outcome of a war between Israel and the Amalekites. Israel won every time he lifted his hands, but when his hands got heavy and went down, the Amalekites began to win. Aaron and Hur were with him, having four hands combined, but they knew that Moses’ hands, which had touched the holy ground, differed from ordinary hands. So, rather than lift their own hands, they helped Moses keep his hands up. In Exodus 14:16, God said to Moses:
But lift thou up thy rod, stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.

God had anointed Moses’ hands, so He ordered him to divide them over the Red Sea. So, in Exodus 14:21, when Moses stretched out his hands over the sea, it had no choice but to part into two. In Deuteronomy 34:9, those hands also transmitted wisdom to Joshua.
Joshua, the son of Nun, was full of the spirit of wisdom, for Moses had laid his hands upon him. The children of Israel heardken unto him and did as the LORD commanded Moses.
The power of God turns the ordinary into extraordinary. If you read John 9:1-7, where Jesus saw a man born blind, He spat on the ground, made some mud out of it, and anointed the blind man’s eyes. Ordinary mud can become anointed mud; it depends on whose hands it is in.
Your hands can also become anointed today, but first, they must be holy hands. Psalm 24:3-4 says that only those with sacred hands can ascend into the hill of the Lord where they can come in contact with the fire of God.
Open Heaven 11 March 2024 REFLECTION
Do you have holy hands? The fire of God can only rest on sacred hands.
