Open Heaven 22 August 2026: Breaking Covenants 2
MEMORISE: Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.1 John 4:4
READ: 2 Corinthians 5:17-19
17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

Years ago, one of my daughters in the Lord came to me and said, “Daddy, a young man approached me and said he wants to marry me.”
I congratulated her, but she replied, “Daddy, my father told me that I was dedicated to a river goddess when I was born, and a covenant was made that whoever I marry is going to die on our wedding day. I don’t want the young man to die.”
I told her that I know someone stronger than the river goddess.
We prayed a simple prayer, and she left. The next time I saw her, she was happily married and already had a baby.
I declare that any evil force that might be hindering your progress is destroyed today, in Jesus’ name.
A new and greater covenant can cancel a previously existing one.
For instance, if you want to break a covenant with someone, all you need to do is enter into a covenant with someone greater; the greater fellow can release you from the lesser person’s covenant by force.
If a person enters into a covenant with the devil, the moment he or she enters into a covenant with God, He will wipe out all evil covenants from the fellow’s life.
God’s covenant is superior to any other covenant. Our God is stronger than the strongest; therefore, once a person enters into a covenant with Him, He will bind any strong man who was previously in charge of the fellow’s life and throw him out.
It is also important to note that the devil still seeks to retain his strongholds in the lives of people even after they have become born again.
A stronghold is a deeply entrenched evil pattern that the devil has instilled in a person, and it must be addressed.
Otherwise, the person will continue to operate under its influence even after he or she has become born again.
Such strongholds typically include bitterness, pride, generational curses, anger, and other similar issues.
Beloved, 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 urges us to pull down strongholds and cast down imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God.
If you are a party to any evil covenant or are under the influence of any demonic stronghold, cry out to God today to deliver you by His mighty power.
I join my faith with yours and decree that you are completely free from any evil covenant or demonic stronghold that might be in your life, in Jesus’ name.
