Open Heaven 25 April 2025 Friday Daily Devotional By Pastor E. A. Adeboye Topic– Above Barriers

MEMORISE: “The Lord God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds’ feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places. To the chief singer on my stringed instruments.” – Habakkuk 3:19 (KJV)

READ: 1 Kings 18:41-46 (KJV)

41 And Elijah said unto Ahab, Get thee up, eat and drink; for there is a sound of abundance of rain.

42 So Ahab went up to eat and to drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he cast himself down upon the earth, and put his face between his knees,

43 And said to his servant, Go up now, look toward the sea. And he went up, and looked, and said, There is nothing. And he said, Go again seven times.

44 And it came to pass at the seventh time, that he said, Behold, there ariseth a little cloud out of the sea, like a man’s hand. And he said, Go up, say unto Ahab, Prepare thy chariot, and get thee down that the rain stop thee not.

45 And it came to pass in the mean while, that the heaven was black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. And Ahab rode, and went to Jezreel.

46 And the hand of the Lord was on Elijah; and he girded up his loins, and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel.

Open Heaven 25 April 2025 MESSAGE

Humans are normally subject to the laws of nature. For example, this is why it is ordinarily impossible for people to walk on water due to the law of gravity. At times, however, the laws of nature can be suspended so that they do not act as a barrier to God’s children. Matthew 14:22-32 tells us that Peter walked on water. When he began to sink, he cried out, and Jesus grabbed his hand. After that, they both walked back to the boat on the water. The law of gravity was suspended for Peter.

When God gets involved in a situation, the laws of nature can be suspended. In Acts 12:5-11, when the angel came to release Peter from prison, the chains that were used to bind him dropped off by themselves, and the prison doors opened of their own accord. I pray that if there are doors that have been locked against you, they will open of their own accord because of the Holy Spirit, and you will reach heights that your enemies do not want you to get to, in Jesus’ name. If you continue reading that account in Acts 12, you will discover that when Herod sent for Peter to be brought out for execution, the guards reported that they could not find him, and Herod commanded that they should be executed instead. God is about to spring a surprise on your enemies, in Jesus’ name.

“But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” – Isaiah 40:31

When the Holy Spirit comes upon you, He will make you mount up with wings like an eagle to rise above all barriers in your path. He will remove every embargo that the devil may have placed on you and every limitation that he may have put on your family and business. He will also make your feet like a hind’s feet and set you upon your high places (Psalm 18:33). A hind is a female deer, and she can run securely in very rough terrains. Nothing limits or hinders her from running on very dangerous grounds. Where other animals will stumble and fall, a hind will run freely without any stress. I pray for you right now; the Holy Spirit will lift you above every limitation in your life, in Jesus’ name.

Open Heaven 25 April 2025 PRAYER POINT

Holy Spirit, please, come upon me afresh and break every barrier around me, in Jesus’ name.

Open Heaven 25 April 2025 HYMN 5 – Blessed Assurance, Jesus Is Mine!

1 Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine
Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine
Heir of salvation, purchase of God
Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood

Chorus:
This is my story, this is my song
Praising my Saviour all the day long
This is my story, this is my song
Praising my Saviour all the day long

2 Perfect submission, perfect delight,
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight,
Angel descending, bring from above
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.

3 Perfect submission, all is at rest
I in my Savior am happy and blessed
Watching and waiting, looking above
Filled with His goodness, lost in His love
