Morning Glory ( Praise Him Friday)

July 24, 2015

Today on Morning Glory it was Praise Him Friday. Our message today was
" Praise Him Because He Is Keeper". Our text today was Jude 1:24.

Now until him that is able to keep you from falling and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy

Today we ought to be excited about the fact that our God is a keeper. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, he is able to show his covering power in every area of our lives. Yes, on this Praise Him Friday we should have a magnified enthusiasm about the fact we are covered in his presence. As a believer was have an assurance that when God says, " He will never leave us or forsake us", we have a hope through faith that he will do it.

In our text today we again read Jude, the scripture first let's us know that he will keep us from falling. We find through the reading of scripture that a righteousness man falls down seven times and gets back up again. We should never stay in the posture of the one who is falling. You and I both have made mistakes, some of those mistakes have been made repeatedly. If we don't change our behavior or the way we handle things when they arrive in our lives, we in no doubt will get the same results. The power of God is available for you and I to use merely by making the request of the need for help. The Holy Spirit will keep us from falling. Falling is not just limited to sin but falling in every area of our lives. If we want to be helped in any area of our lives it is the Holy Spirit that will lead and guide us through all truth. As believers we must allow the Holy Spirit to direct our steps. When we operate in the flesh, without a doubt you and I will fall. In all your ways acknowledge him, says the Proverb writer and he will direct our paths.

When we operate by a  spirit lead life or a life lead by the Holy Spirit the text says that we are presented to the Father faultless. Does this mean you and I have not made mistakes? No! But it assures me  the message of GRACE. If I remain in His presence, it is because I am saved that His grace covers, protects, redeems, provides, gives direction, provision, the list goes on. The Holy Spirit  gives us everything we need through Christ so that makes me faultless. I am so excited that I am saved, are you? It is because of the grace of God that we are not consumed. I praise God that through the power of the Holy Spirit, he is a keeper.

Finally in this verse Jude says that when we are presented to the Father, he does this in the presence of exceeding joy. The Holy Spirit or Christ if you will is just thrilled to present us to the Father. Once we have accepted Christ as Lord and Savior of our lives we now have access to the Father, we now have an assurance that he hears our prayers and ultimately have a home in Glory. Yes, I understand that this verse and scripture is used as a benediction or used at funerals and it is appropriate. The truth is, this scripture is well equipped for my everyday walk with Christ. For example, when I pray in faith Jesus presents my request to the Father with a type of joy that exceeds my human capacity. Jesus presents me clean and pure without a blemish.

I am so excited that the Holy Spirit is a keeper. Don't let life issues get you off course because it threw you a blow and you could not duck. Trust the Holy Spirit to work on your behalf and I promise you will TKO the devil.
