A misrepresentation of the definition of omnipotence. Omnipotence excludes God doing things contrary to His character and nature (ex. God cannot lie, doesn't mean He isn't omnipotent).
Where did God get his nature and character from?
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
