Open Heavens For Teens 26th February 2025 – Escape From Miry Clay

TEENS OPEN HEAVEN FOR TODAY.

A miry clay situation refers to a situation that is so terrible that a fellow cannot get out of by himself or herself; such a fellow needs external help. These miry clay situations can be brought about by sin that is present in a fellow’s life. For instance, when a paralyzed man was brought to Jesus in Mark 2:1-12, the first thing the Lord said to him was, “Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.” The word of God is clear; the wages of sin is death. Therefore, if a sinner finds himself or herself in a miry clay situation, the fellow must repent and forsake his or her sins before he or she can come out of the miry clay.

Some years ago, I was invited to Tunisia to speak at a conference. While speaking, I said, “Brethren, I have come to submit to you that God answers all prayers.” Thereafter, some theologians called me aside and told me that what I said is not true.

Beloved, don’t let anybody deceive you; God answers prayers. In Jeremiah 33:3, He said, “Call on me and I will answer you”; He didn’t say, “I may answer you.” However, God can only answer the prayers He hears. If He doesn’t hear, there can’t be an answer, and Isaiah 59:1-2 says clearly that it is sin that can prevent God from hearing us.

KEY POINT
If you are still obeying God half-heartedly, change your ways so that He can answer your prayers.

HYMNAL
HYMN 12: ONWARD CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS

1 Onward, Christian soldiers,
marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus
going on before!
Christ, the royal Master,
leads against the foe;
Forward into battle,
see his banner go!

Refrain:
Onward, Christian soldiers,
marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus
going on before!

2 At the sign of triumph
Satan’s host doth flee;
On, then, Christian soldiers,
on to victory!
Hell’s foundations quiver
at the shout of praise;
Brothers, lift your voices,
loud your anthems raise! [Refrain]

3 Like a mighty army
moves the church of God;
Brothers, we are treading
where the saints have trod;
We are not divided;
all one body we,
One in hope and doctrine,
one in charity. [Refrain]

4 Onward, then, ye people,
join our happy throng,
Blend with ours your voices
in the triumph song;
Glory, laud, and honor,
unto Christ the King;
This thro’ countless ages
men and angels sing. [Refrain]
