MEMORISE: I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: Deuteronomy 30:19
READ: John 5:1-14 Open Heavens 3 May 2026
1 After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2 Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.
3 In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.
4 For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.
5 And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.
6 When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?
7 The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.
8 Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.
9 And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.
10 The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.
11 He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk.
12 Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?
13 And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place.
14 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1 Chronicles 13-16
MESSAGE: – Open Heavens 3 May 2026 Sunday Daily Devotional
Some people are so comfortable with their problems that they reject every form of help that comes their way. For example, one would have thought that Jesus would have immediately commanded the man who had been sick for 38 years in today’s Bible reading to rise from his sickbed. However, the first thing Jesus asked him was, “Do you want to be made whole” Jesus didn’t assume that the man wanted to be healed; He first asked him if he wanted to be healed before healing him.
And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him, Saying, what wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight. Luke 18:40-41
In the Scripture above, Jesus heard a blind man crying out to Him for help. When He asked that the man be brought before Him, He didn’t assume that he needed healing, even though he was obviously blind. He proceeded to ask him, “What do you want me to do for you?”
There was once a woman who was sick, and we prayed earnestly for her to get well. When she didn’t get any better, we were surprised because we know that our God is the Great Physician. Therefore, we turned to Him and asked, “Father, what’s wrong? Is there anything we should be doing that we are not?” Then, He replied, “You are praying for healing for this woman, but have you asked her if she wants to be healed?” I thought to myself, “Of course, every sick fellow wants to be well,” but the Lord insisted that l ask her if she truly wanted to be healed. I did, and she responded, “No!” Surprised, I asked her why, and she replied, “When I was well, my husband always returned late from work. He would go from his workplace to a club. Since I became sick, he comes straight home to me as soon as he leaves his workplace. So, I don’t want to be well!”
Beloved, God has set before you life and death, blessing and curses, prosperity and poverty, freedom and bondage; however, He will not force His gift of healing, life, or salvation on anyone. If you are dealing with sickness, poverty, or any other negative situation in your life, cry out to God today if you indeed want a miracle from Him. He will heed your cry and meet you at the point of your needs.
Action Point – Open Heavens 3 May 2026
Call on God today in the name of Jesus and be specific about what you want Him to do for you.

Hymn 25: The Great Physician Now Is Here
1 The great Physician now is near,
the sympathizing Jesus;
He speaks the drooping heart to cheer,
oh! hear the voice of Jesus.
Refrain:
Sweetest note in seraph song,
sweetest name on mortal tongue;
sweetest carol ever sung,
Jesus, blessed Jesus.
2 Your many sins are all forgiven,
oh! hear the voice of Jesus;
go on your way in peace to heaven,
and wear a crown with Jesus.
3 All glory to the risen Lamb!
I now believe in Jesus;
I love the blessed Savior’s name,
I love the name of Jesus.
4 His name dispels my guilt and fear,
no other name but Jesus;
oh! how my soul delights to hear
the charming name of Jesus.

1. Father, I thank You for the free will You have given me to choose life, blessing, and wholeness. Thank You for not forcing Your gifts upon me but waiting for me to ask, in Jesus’ name.
2. Lord, I ask for mercy for every time I have become comfortable with my problems, rejected Your help, or failed to cry out to You for deliverance, in Jesus’ name.
3. Father, today I declare that I want to be made whole. Heal me from every sickness, deliver me from every bondage, and restore every broken area of my life, in Jesus’ name.
4. Lord, remove every hidden reason that makes me cling to my problems—whether fear of change, emotional attachment, or lack of faith. Set me free indeed, in Jesus’ name.
5. Father, I come before You with boldness. You know my needs, but I ask specifically: heal my body, restore my marriage, provide for my finances, and guide my children, in Jesus’ name.
6. Lord, just as the blind man said, “Lord, that I may receive my sight,” I tell You today: Lord, that I may receive my breakthrough. Let me not be vague in my requests, in Jesus’ name.
7. Father, I reject every comfort zone in sickness, poverty, and stagnation. I choose life, health, and abundance. Let Your will be done in my life, in Jesus’ name.
8. Holy Spirit, search my heart and reveal any area where I have been reluctant to receive God’s miracle. Give me the courage to embrace complete healing and restoration, in Jesus’ name.
