OPEN HEAVEN 1 APRIL 2026 READ: Mark 5:35-43
35 While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the synagogue’s house certain which said, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Master any further?
36 As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.
37 And he suffered no man to follow him, save Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.
38 And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly.
39 And when he was come in, he saith unto them, Why make ye this ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth.
40 And they laughed him to scorn. But when he had put them all out, he taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him, and entereth in where the damsel was lying.
41 And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise.
42 And straightway the damsel arose, and walked; for she was of the age of twelve years. And they were astonished with a great astonishment.
43 And he charged them straitly that no man should know it; and commanded that something should be given her to eat.

Many years ago, I was visiting one of our parishes abroad, and when I landed at the airport, one of the pastors who usually came to welcome me anytime I visited the country was not there.
When I asked about him, I was told that he was dying in a hospital.
I asked if we could stop at the hospital on our way from the airport, and I was taken there immediately.
In that hospital, they had a special room where people with ‘hopeless’ cases were kept.
Once a patient was moved to that room, it meant that the fellow would likely not survive whatever ailment he or she had, and this was where the pastor was kept.
He had cancer, and the doctors’ reports were not good at all. I prayed for him and commanded the spirit of death to take its hands off him.
I didn’t pray for the other patients in the room because, in that country, you can be arrested for praying for a sick person when the fellow has not given his or her consent.
After praying for the pastor, I left the hospital immediately.
About three days later, he was completely healed and was discharged.
I learnt later that on the day he was discharged, every other person in the room was discharged as well.
Imagine what could have happened if I had heard the sad report concerning him and just sympathised with him instead of declaring the word of God over him.
Child of God, you might not know the great miracles you are hindering if you refuse to speak God’s word to unfavourable situations.
You must realise that you are not ordinary and your words carry power because you are a child of God.
When you encounter a mountain in the way of your progress, speak to it in the name of Jesus, and it will obey you (Mark 11:23).
Revelation 1:6 says that you are a king, and Ecclesiastes 8:4 says that where the word of a king is, there is power.
This means that whenever you speak, power shows up. Doubt is one of the major things that can stop power from showing up when you speak.
Beloved, don’t keep quiet in the face of negative situations; speak God’s word over them in faith, and they will turn around completely for good, in Jesus’ name.
OPEN HEAVEN 1 APRIL 2026 KEY POINT:
When children of God speak God’s word in faith, God’s power shows up on the scene.
