Theme For Open Heavens Devotional May 22 2020 – THAT I MAY KNOW HIM.
MEMORY VERSE:
That I may know HIM, and The Power of HIS Resurrection, and The Fellowship of HIS Sufferings, being made conformable unto HIS Death;” Philippians 3:10
READING: Exodus 5:1-8
1• And afterward Moses and Aaron went in, and told Pharaoh, Thus saith The LORD God of Israel, Let My People go, that they may hold a feast unto Me in the wilderness.
2• And Pharaoh said, Who is The LORD, that I should obey His Voice to let Israel go? I know not The LORD, neither will I let Israel go.
3• And they said, The God of the Hebrews hath met with us: let us go, we pray thee, three days’ journey into the desert, and sacrifice unto the LORD Our God; lest He fall upon us with pestilence, or with the sword.
4• And the king of Egypt said unto them, Wherefore do ye, Moses and Aaron, let the people from their works? Get you unto your burdens.
5• And Pharaoh said, Behold, the people of the land now are many, and ye make them rest from their burdens.
6• And Pharaoh commanded the same day the taskmasters of the people, and their officers, saying,
7•. Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as heretofore: let them go and gather straw for themselves.
8• And the tale of the bricks, which they did make heretofore, ye shall lay upon them; ye shall not diminish ought thereof: for they be idle; therefore they cry, saying, Let us go and sacrifice to our God.
MESSAGE:
A. GENERALLY. IGNORANCE KILLS, it is however even more lethal when people do not know God.
1• Such people do not know God. Such people could fall into the hands of God just as Nebuchadnezzar did 2• Daniel 4:33 “The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven from men, and did eat grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hairs were grown like eagles’ feathers, and his nails like birds’ claws.”
3• Pharaoh was reluctant to free the Israelites because he was ignorant of God’s Power
4• Exodus 5:2 “And Pharaoh said, Who is The LORD, that I should obey His Voice to let Israel go? I know not the LORD, neither will I let Israel go., 5• Yet that was not enough to excuse him and his kingdom from God’s Judgment.
6• God will never accept ignorance as an excuse for disobedience to His will.
7• KNOWLEDGE HOWEVER, IS POWER, more so the knowledge of THE MOST HIGH GOD. IT IS THE ULTIMATE POWER.
B. How do we know God to the extent that we can draw maximum benefits from Him?
1• How do we avoid walking contrary to His will?
2• GOD IS THE SOURCE OF BOTH TEMPORAL AND ETERNAL BLESSINGS.
3• TO KNOW HIM, YOU MUST FIRST KNOW JESÚS.
4• Matthew 11:27 says: “All things are delivered unto Me of My Father: and no man knoweth The Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man The Father, save The Son, and He to whomsoever The Son will reveal him.”
5• KNOWING JESÚS CHRIST IS KNOWING THE MIND OF GOD
6• And those who know their God shall be strong and do exploits (Daniel 11:32).
7• No wonder Paul prayed passionately to know Jesus intimately (Philippians 3:10).
C. When we look at Paul’s prayer, we may understand why he did great exploits in the ministry.
1• To achieve the same kind of result in our Christian walk, we also must be knowledgeable in The Word of God. 2• Search the Scripture daily to know Jesus Christ the more
3• John 5:39 “Search The Scriptures; for in them ye think ye have Eternal Life: and they are they which testify of Me.”
4• HIS MISSION BEFORE HIS EARTHLY MINISTRY:
5• Matthew 1:21 “Says “And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call His Name JESUS: for HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR SINS.
5• HIS MISSION DURING HIS EARTHLY MINISTRY:
6• John 14:6 “Jesus saith unto him, I Am THE WAY, THE TRUTH, and THE LIFE: no man cometh unto The Father, but by Me.
7• AND HIS MISSION AFTER HIS EARTHLY MINISTRY
8• Revelation 22:12 “And, behold, I come quickly; and My Reward is with Me, to give every man according as his work shall be.”

HYMN 27: TAKE MY LIFE, AND LET IT BE.
1. Take my life and let it be
Consecrated, Lord, to Thee.
*Take my moments and my days,
Let them flow in endless praise.
2. Take my hands and let them move
At the impulse of Thy love.
Take my feet and let them be
Swift and beautiful for Thee.
3. Take my voice and let me sing,
Always, only for my King.
Take my lips and let them be
Filled with messages from Thee.
4. Take my silver and my gold,
Not a mite would I withhold.
Take my intellect and use
Every pow’r as Thou shalt choose.
5. Take my will and make it Thine,
It shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart, it is Thine own,
It shall be Thy royal throne.
6. Take my love, my Lord, I pour
At Thy feet its treasure store.
Take myself and I will be
Ever, only, all for Thee.
EMMANUEL=GOD WITH US!
