GOSPEL PRAISE FRIDAY



Matthew 5:14- 16 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven."

Greetings family of God, I declare, that today is a great day to serve the Lord . Amen.

With our voices raised high and our hearts living in truth, let us give praise to the Love that created everything. Let us forget what is past and press forward toward the mark set by Jesus to live righteously and with faith. Let us expect, wait on and listen to His Holy Spirit Who directs us by His wisdom and His purpose. Let us bless the name of Jesus for His blood is our bloodline to the Father.

Let us continue in this day and everyday to live by faith, trust, and unconditionaLove, and not by emotions.

Are you glad that you allow Jesus to work on you? To work in you? To work through you? Have you decided Who you will follow? Choose Ye this day.


Well then, let us stand, unified and raise our voices high and strong and thank Him for what He has already done. For if you confess that "you are already blessed", then you should be living like it, you should be expecting the results from Already being Blessed. You should see these results everyday. Are you searching to see them?
This "already blessed" living, that I speak of is thinking on all good things, speaking with joy, love and happiness. Doing what He says to do without hesitation. We are all at different levels of being able to do this--what is keeping you from fully obeying Him and living like this? Check out your heart, is it full of pride, fears, and taking directions from your emotions?

Let me see if you will get this...
When you say all the time that "i am already blessed", and you never spend time with Jesus, talking to Him, praising Him, learning from Him, seeking Him and obeying Him, allowing Him to live in your heart--changing you; if you never spend time serving Him and witnessing to the truth of God---this is like buying a car--bringing it home and never making a payment on the car. And we all know what happens then.....you lose the car and you do not benefit from having a car.
Same thing, if you never invest in your relationship with Jesus--You will not benefit from having one with Him.


Let us speak the Love that He Is creating us To Be by offering Him our humble prayer and praise. Let us tell the Lord that if we can't be fed--let us be bread!

Father God, we come in the name of Jesus to speak the truth that will cancel out all noise and evil. Lord we thank You that You send your love to go before us to prepare the way we are to walk. We thank You that Your love is over us, so that we are able to give to others by serving You. I hear Your sound, and I declare Your Word according to Jeremiah 25:30-31 and Joel 3:16 and according to Your controversy with us, I choose You for my house—for You give salvation, shelter and strength rather than destruction and crushing. Father, I invite Your presence—Immanuel who is God with us—to set up Your tent and display Your glory through my life. I stand as a witness--as a servant of The Most High God, against the teasing of anything being “impossible”. I declare that the procession of the Lord is passing through our home and family and we have become one with it! Hallelujah! In Your name Jesus, I rebuke everything that is a hinderance to my complete obedience to God, Amen.

Remember, you are not trying to be a better slave-but a better friend of Jesus.
As He says in John 15:14-15
"You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you."
----------
Just as Abraham was called the "friend of God" (2 Chr. 20:7; James 2:23) because he enjoyed extraordinary access to the mind of God through God's revelation to him which he believed, so also those who follow Christ are privileged with extraordinary revelation through the Messiah and Son of God and, believing, become "friends" of God also. It was for His "friends" that the Lord laid down His life (v. 13; 10:11, 15, 17).
