Powerful Declarations For Today 13 August 2023

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 13 AUGUST 2023 MESSAGE

Violence is a serious weakness that reflects a fellow’s lack of self-control.

It doesn’t stand alone, but it has siblings, as written in our text for today. A violent person is angry, full of malice, speaks rashly, and curses a lot.

Such people share a resemblance with their father – satan, the originator of violence.

Research has shown that violent teenagers picked up the violent trait from parents who have issues with power, control, and manipulation. Clearly, this is not an attribute of God.

Dear son/daughter, are you currently in an abusive relationship, hoping the person will change?

I command you to break free in the name of Jesus. You are not the changer, only the Holy Spirit can do that.

The Bible says in Proverbs 22:24-25: Make no friendship with an angry man: and with a furious man thou shalt not go: Lest thou learn his ways, and get a snare to thy soul

For you to remain sane, you must cultivate a peaceful environment always.

Run away from situations where violence or fighting may cause you to be physically or emotionally injured.

HYMN 12 – HOLY, HOLY, HOLY! LORD GOD ALMIGHTY

1. Holy, Holy, Holy!
Lord God Almighty!
Early in the morning
Our song shall rise to thee:
Holy, holy, holy,
Merciful and Mighty!
God in Three Persons,
Blessed, Trinity!

All the saints adore Thee,
Casting down their golden crowns
Around the glassy sea:
Cherubim and seraphim
Falling down before Thee,
Which wert and art,
And evermore shalt be.

Though the darkness hide Thee,
Though the eyes of sinful man
Thy glory may not see
Only thou art holy:
There is none beside Thee,
Perfect in power, in love, and purity.

4. Holy, Holy, Holy!
Lord God Almighty!
All thy works shall praise
Thy name, in earth and sky, and sea;
Holy, Holy, Holy,
Merciful and Mighty!

Blessed, Trinity!
