OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 3 APRIL 2022 BIBLE READING 1 PETER 2:4-8

4. To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,

5. Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.

6. Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.

7. Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,

8. And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 3 APRIL 2022 MESSAGE

Several years ago, one of my sons in the Lord who is highly educated became born again, but continued in his cigarette smoking habit. I got to know about it and called him to discuss how God could deliver him completely.

To my surprise, he said it wasn’t an issue and that what mattered was that he was born again. He went further to say that the Bible never said Thou shall not smoke.

I invited him over and he came visiting with his wife. We decided to do a study on 1 Samuel 17:38-40, where David picked five smooth stones when he went to battle with Goliath.

I then told him that there are different kinds of stones – stones that can kill a dog, goat or any other type of creature but the stones that could kill a giant must be the very smooth ones.

I also let him know that if he wanted God to use him to achieve His divine purpose on earth, he must become a smooth stone. That same day, he stopped smoking forever.

If you want to be used by God mightily, you must surrender all to Him and allow Him chisel you so that you can be a smooth stone like Jesus Christ.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 3 APRIL 2022 HYMN

JUST AS I AM

1. Just as I am, without one plea,
but that Thy blood was shed for me,
and that Thou bidst me come to Thee,
Oh Lamb of God, I come, I come.

2. Just as I am, and waiting not
to rid my soul of one dark blot,
to Thee, whose blood can cleanse each spot,
Oh Lamb of God, I come, I come.

3. Just as I am, though tossed about
with many a conflict, many a doubt,
fightings and fears within, without,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

4. Just as I am poor, wretched, blind
Sight, riches, healing of the mind
Yea, all I need, in Thee to find
Oh Lamb of God I come,

5. Just as I am, Thou wilt receive,
wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve;
because Thy promise I believe,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

6. Just as I am Thy love unknown
Has broken every barrier down;
Now to be Thine, yea Thine alone,
Oh Lamb of God I come, I come.

7. Just as I am, of that free love,
The breadth, length, depth and height to prove,
Here for a season, then above,
Oh Lamb of God I come, I come.
