Open Heaven 20 December 2025: It is Settled
MEMORISE: Colossians 3:16
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
READ: Psalms 33:8-9:
8 Let all the earth fear the Lord: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
9 For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.

Whenever God speaks, whatever He says is final (Psalm 119:89). Isaiah 55:10-11 makes it clear that when God sends His word on an errand, it will not return to Him until it has finished its assignment.
This means that if God sends His word to a fellow and that fellow refuses to accept it, that word will go to someone else because God’s word can not, and will not, return to Him without accomplishing what it has been sent to do.
Now, if this same word dwells in your heart, you can use it to accomplish great and mighty things to the glory of God. You can tell sicknesses to disappear from your life and the lives of others, and they will disappear. You can command poverty to leave, and it will leave.
To settle negative issues with God’s word, however, you must allow His word to settle fully in your heart.
When something settles somewhere, it has found a conducive resting place there. When Noah sent out a dove after the flood, the Bible says that the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned to the ark (Genesis 8:9).
Until you make room for God’s word in your heart, it cannot settle in you. God’s word will settle difficult situations in your life and the lives of others if you let it dwell richly in your heart.
People are often called rich because they have lots of money. Those who have only a few thousands in their bank accounts cannot claim to be rich.
Similarly, you cannot claim to be rich in God’s word when you know only a few verses in the Bible. You must immerse yourself in God’s word and allow it to fill every part of your being by reading and studying it daily.
Never be satisfied with yesterday’s revelation; seek to know God’s word anew daily. His word will dwell richly in you as you meditate on it.
When a cook wants a lump of meat to fully absorb some seasonings, he or she will soak the meat in the seasonings for hours to marinate it before cooking. This is what meditation does; it marinates your heart in God’s word and makes you rich in it.
Beloved, let God’s word dwell richly in you and honour it at all times by obeying it completely.
This way, whenever you speak it into any situation, God will surely back it up.
KEY POINT
You will accomplish great things with God’s word when you allow His word to dwell richly in you.
