OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 24 JULY 2022 BIBLE READING ACTS 13:1-2

1. Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

2. As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 24 JULY 2022 MESSAGE

There are at least three categories of people when it comes to hearing God. First, those who have no ears – these are people whose consciences are dead and don’t care about the consequences of their actions.

Second, those who have ears but refuse to hear – they get nudged by the Holy Spirit from time to time but choose to ignore it and go ahead with their own plans (e.g. Samson).

The third are those who have ears, listen to instructions and obey them. Here are some other reasons people don’t hear God:

1. Not having a close relationship with God.

2. Interference of other voices.

3. Listening to gossip/rumours.

4. Backbiting.

5. Lousiness.

6. Pride.

Work on yourself from today by taking away anything that prevents you from hearing God. Dwell more on His word and communicate with Him daily through prayers.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 24 JULY 2022 PRAYER POINT

Father, please eliminate everything blocking my ears from hearing You, in Jesus’ name.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 24 JULY 2022 HYMN

NEARER, MY GOD

1. Nearer, my God, to Thee,
nearer to thee!
E’en though it be a cross
that raiseth me,
still all my song shall be,
nearer, my God,

2. Though like the wanderer,
the sun gone down,
darkness be over me,
my rest a stone;
yet in my dreams I’d be
nearer, my God, to Thee; (2ce)
nearer to Thee!

3. There let the way appear,
steps unto heaven;
all that Thou sendest me,
in mercy given;
angels to beckon me
nearer, my God, to Thee; (2ce)
nearer to Thee!

4. Then with my waking thoughts
bright with Thy praise,
out of my stony griefs
Bethel I’ll raise;
so by my woes to be
nearer, my God, to Thee; (2ce)
nearer to Thee!

5. Or if, on joyful wing
cleaving the sky,
sun, moon, and stars forgot,
upward I fly,
still all my song shall be,
nearer, my God, to Thee; (2ce)
nearer to Thee!
