Open Heaven 28 March 2026: Minister of Light 2
MEMORISE:
Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion.
Isaiah 8:18
READ: Mark 16:17-20
17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.
20 And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.

It is important for Christians to walk in signs and wonders if we are to win the world to Jesus. In John 4:48, Jesus said that some people will not believe the gospel unless they see signs and wonders. As a minister of light, you are God’s instrument for revealing His signs and wonders to the world, and He has already empowered you to perform miracles.
God seeks to perform special miracles through all His children, just as He did with Paul (Acts 19:11-12).
If you are His child, He wants you to lay hands on the sick for them to recover. Some Christians doubt that the sick will recover if they lay their hands on them, and as a result, they don’t lay hands on the sick. God didn’t say that you should lay hands on the sick and cause them to recover; all He wants is for you to lay hands on the sick, and He will make sure that they recover. All you have to do is obey Him and leave the rest to Him. When you lay your hands on the sick, His power at work in you will flow through your hands to ensure that they recover.
To become God’s instrument for revealing His signs and wonders, faith is important. Those who obey Jesus’ commandments in faith always get the results that Jesus said they would get.
As a young minister, when I read that I could lay my hands on the sick and they would recover, I started doing so secretly in my house. Whenever my children told me that they had a headache, I would take them to my room where nobody could see us, lay my hands on them, and say, “In the name of Jesus, headache, go!”
However, I would also ensure that there was medicine for headaches at hand. At that time, my faith was little, but God always meets His children at their levels of faith. After praying in that manner, many times, they would become well in less than five minutes. Today, I can lay my hands on anyone when they are sick because I know that Jesus will not fail.
Beloved, God calls you the light of the world (Matthew 5:14), and He cannot lie. Therefore, be bold in your capacity as light and begin to shine forth. I pray that henceforth, God’s glory and wonders will shine more than ever before in your life, in Jesus’ name.
KEY POINT
The key to walking in signs and wonders is exercising your faith in God.
