MEMORISE:
“Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” – (Matthew 18:18)

READ: Ephesians 6:10-18 (KJV)
10. Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

1. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

2. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

3. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

4. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

5. And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

6. Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

7. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;

8. Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

Open Heaven 19th May 2021  Devotional MESSAGE:
When your results do not match your efforts, when you continue to meet a brick wall from every direction, you may be under attack from principalities and powers. The good news is that God is going to deal with negative powers blocking your way to both spiritual and physical prosperity in Jesus name.

We can draw a few things from the Scripture reading of today. One is that principalities and powers are personalities and we must deal with them as such. Two, they are spirits, and cannot die. It will therefore take the power of God to deal with them. Every evil personality working against you shall be destroyed today in Jesus’ name. Ephesians 6:12 says:
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

The Scripture above is why Paul admonished believers to put on the whole armour of God (Ephesians 6:11). The armour includes truth, righteousness and acceptance of the gospel of peace. For evil gates to shift ground for your good, you must be born-again (John 3:3-5). Not only that, you must also live in truth and righteousness. You must be holy (Matthew 5:48). You must also take up the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit – which is the word of God, with prayer and supplication in order to be able to resist and defeat the devil (Ephesians 6:13-18).

Beloved, for principalities and powers to lose their hold on you, you must allow Jesus into your life as Lord. He is knocking at the door now; allow Him in if you haven’t (Revelation 3:20). I recall going to pray for a rich man who had been afflicted. This man refused to give his life to Christ even in that state and he eventually died. My prayer for you today is that you will not be a victim of oppression; rather you will be a victor over the devil in Jesus’ name. Today is the day of salvation (2 Corinthians 6:2). If you have backslidden, you must return and restitute your ways (Revelation 2:5).

PRAYER POINT:
Father, help me to conquer all principalities and powers blocking my blessings, in the mighty name of Jesus.
