OPEN HEAVEN 23 JULY 2025 WEDNESDAY: FREEDOM FROM OPPRESSION
OPEN HEAVEN 23 JULY 2025 MEMORISE: “How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.” Acts 10:38
OPEN HEAVEN 23 JULY 2025 READ: MARK 5:1-20 (KJV)
1 And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.
2 And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,
3 Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains:
4 Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him.
5 And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones.
6 But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him,
7 And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not.
8 For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit.
9 And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many.
10 And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country.
11 Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding.
12 And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.
13 And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked in the sea.
14 And they that fed the swine fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that was done.
15 And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.
16 And they that saw it told them how it befell to him that was possessed with the devil, and also concerning the swine.
17 And they began to pray him to depart out of their coasts.
18 And when he was come into the ship, he that had been possessed with the devil prayed him that he might be with him.
19 Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee.
20 And he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all men did marvel.
OPEN HEAVEN 23 JULY 2025 MESSAGE:
I once visited a family, and unknown to me at the time, the woman of the house was a witch who had made an evil covenant to kill one of every two children that she gave birth to diabolically.
She had a little daughter and had planned to kill the girl that same day I visited.
As I was about to leave, the little girl, who was carried on her mother’s back, stretched towards me such that I was compelled to carry her.
I learned afterwards that up to that moment, the girl never allowed anyone else to carry her besides her parents.
It almost seemed like someone whispered to her, “Here is someone God can use to turn the plan of the enemy to nought.”
I carried her and prayed for her without knowing of the evil plans concerning her, “Father, bless this child; keep sickness and death away from her.”
Immediately, the yoke was broken! The girl survived the attack, and not long after, her mother confessed all her evil plans and deeds.
I pray that every satanic yoke upon anyone reading this devotional is broken now, in Jesus’ name.
Many people are being oppressed by demons. They find it difficult to fight those demons off because they are humans, and the demons are spirits.
The question is, how do you fight an enemy you cannot see? Well, you need a partner who can see your enemy.
That partner also has to be stronger than your enemy so that he or she can defeat the enemy for you.
God is a Spirit (John 4:24), and (2 Corinthians 3:17) says that wherever the Spirit of God is, there is liberty.
In other words, if you invite God into your situation and He fights for you like He did when I prayed for that little girl, victory is sure.
In today’s Bible reading, the madman of Gadara was completely bound by forces of darkness, but as soon as Jesus Christ stepped into his situation, not only was he set free, his destiny was also restored.
Whatever the devil may have stolen from you will be restored today, in Jesus’ name.
When Jesus was on the earth, He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil because God was with Him.
When God is with you, every yoke of darkness breaks. If you are experiencing any form of bondage in any area of your life, invite Jesus today, and you will enjoy total freedom.
When you invite God into a situation, His presence destroys every satanic yoke of oppression.
OPEN HEAVEN 23 JULY 2025 HYMN 19 –
ROCK OF AGES, CLEFT FOR ME
1 Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee;
Let the water and the blood,
From Thy riven side which flowed,
Be of sin the double cure,
Save me from its guilt and power.
2 Not the labor of my hands
Can fulfill Thy law’s demands;
Could my zeal no respite know,
Could my tears forever flow,
All could never sin erase,
Thou must save, and save by grace.
3 Nothing in my hands I bring,
Simply to Thy cross I cling;
Naked, come to Thee for dress,
Helpless, look to Thee for grace:
Foul, I to the fountain fly,
Wash me, Savior, or I die.
4 While I draw this fleeting breath,
When mine eyes shall close in death,
When I soar to worlds unknown,
See Thee on Thy judgment throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee.
