Open Heaven 19 December 2024 TOPIC: The Truth That Makes You Free
MEMORISE: “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” – John 8:32 (KJV)
READ: John 16:13, John 8:36, John 17:17 (KJV)
John 16:13
13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
John 8:36
36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
John 17:17
17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Hebrews 11-13
Open Heaven 19 December 2024 MESSAGE
Jesus referred to Himself as the Truth in John 14:6. Since the Bible tells us in today’s memory verse that the truth shall make you free, it means that if you have Jesus, you are free from bondage. John 8:36 says, “If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.” If you have the Son, it means that you can never be in any kind of bondage.
The devil destroys many people by putting them in bondage. Also, when he sees that he cannot stop believers from serving God, he will look for a loophole in their lives through which he can put them in bondage. A fellow’s physical strength is useless if he or she is in bondage. This is why policemen arrest people in handcuffs. It is so that they cannot escape, even if they are stronger than the policemen.

There are quite a lot of people who have been chained by forces of darkness. If such people engage in a business that others are prospering in, for instance, they will become bankrupt. However, there is a God, whose name is the Truth, who is willing and able to set them free. I decree today, if you are experiencing bondage in any area of your life, the forces that have held you bound shall be scattered in different directions, in Jesus’ name.
Many Christians are in the bondage of poverty because they don’t know the truth about their wealthy heritage in Christ. The greatest bondage a fellow can experience is the bondage of the mind. There are so many blessings that are available to the children of God, but unfortunately, many Christians do not access them because they don’t know the Truth. The Truth is the Word of God according to John 17:17. The more you study God’s word with the help of the Holy Spirit, the more you will understand your divine rights in Christ and the blessings that He has made available to you. This will ensure that the devil cannot bring you under any form of bondage.
Beloved, if it seems like you are experiencing bondage in any area of your life, study what the word of God says about that aspect of your life. Listen to sermons and read books by genuine men of God about that particular area of life. As you study, the entrance of the word will bring light to you, and you will be liberated forever.
Open Heaven 19 December 2024 PRAYER POINT
Father, open my eyes to Your truth so that I will walk in Your glorious liberty.
Open Heaven 19 December 2024 HYMN 10 – In Christ Alone
1 In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand
2 In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless Babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
‘Til on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live, I live
3 There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ
4 No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From a life’s first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Could ever pluck me from His hand
‘Til He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I stand
