It's good to sing songs that have been written by other people that praise up 10:13 praise the name of the Lord. Now, use your own words. Give him praise from your own heart. If your heart is full of thankfulness, as it should be, as he's given us another day, another year, he's given us life here on this earth. We 10:25 don't take it for granted. So lift up your voice to him and give him thanks. Give him praise. Even children, he loves to hear you children singing to him and praising him. Lift up your voice. Don't be conscious of anybody else around you. 10:37 Ask the Holy Spirit to fill you and to tune out all the other things around you so that you can focus on him. He's here. The Lord Jesus is here in the midst of his church, glorious and majestic, as real in his spirit as it is in heaven 10:52 where he is there physically. So heavenly father, we praise you. We give you glory and honor and thanks. We lift up our hands to you. We lift up our voices to you. We give you praise. Truly, you are great and greatly to be 11:02 praised, Lord. And I pray that as we begun this year with praise, so it shall be every day, every week, every month of this year, Lord, through the end of this year praising you. You're worthy of praise. That's what we're going to do 11:14 for all eternity. And we'll never grow tired of it, Lord. So may we never grow tired of it here on this earth, praising you. And I pray that it won't just be a praise when things feel good, when things seem to be going well from an 11:25 outward perspective. But no matter what we go through, even though if we walk through the valley of the shadow of death, you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort us. You prepare a table for me in the presence of my 11:36 enemies. Thank you, Lord, that you are with us. Wherever you will never leave us alone. You promised never to forsake us. You're with us, Lord, even unto the end of the age. So Lord, we thank you that in the in the confidence of this 11:47 your promise of your presence with us, we can go forward. We can live this day for you. We can live this week for you, this month for you, this year for you, and all the way until we see you face to face. Lord Jesus, I pray that you will 12:00 give us a greater sense of the shortness of the time that's left here on this earth. We don't have time to waste on trifling things here on this earth, on small things. Lord, on small grievances or small attractions here, Lord, when 12:13 you've given us an eternal weight of glory, I pray that you'll captivate our eyes aresh with that eternal weight of glory. Be glorified. Be exalted. We praise you. We give you thanks, Lord, for today. We give you thanks for 2025. 12:25 We truly believe, Lord, it's been far better than you we could have imagined, no matter what it looks like from an outward perspective. For those of us who believe you in faith, 2026 will be even better, Lord. Be glorified, be exalted, 12:37 be lifted up more in your church, Lord, and in each home and in each marriage and each life than you have ever been. We thank you, Lord, for that promise. Lord, I pray on behalf of the church family here, Lord, and those listening 12:49 for anyone who's in a battle, Lord, who's discouraged or whose hands are sagging or knees are feeble, whose head is hung down, Lord, because of defeat or any other way in which the devil has a foothold in their heart or in their 13:01 mind. Father, we pray in the name of Jesus that you loose those captives today in the name of Jesus. Lord, thank you that you gave the church authority to loose on earth and it would be loosed in the heavens and to bind on earth and 13:12 it would be bound in the heavens, Lord. So we bind, we stand against the spiritual forces of darkness that have held any soul or any marriage or any home captive, any child. We break those that those bonds in the name of Jesus. 13:24 Thank you, Father, that you have come to set us free. Thank you that this is the year of jubilee. You've come to give us freedom, more freedom in 2026 than you gave us in 2025. So Lord, I pray that we will press on. We look forward. We'll 13:37 look upward. and you'll truly break off and and shake off anything that holds us still, any other sin that besets us or things that entangle us. Lord, I pray that we'll no longer be held by those things here on this earth. I pray you'll 13:50 break any addiction, Lord, that anybody's bound in that they're ashamed of and full of guilt, no discouragement, no self- condemnation, but our eyes lifted up, our heads lifted up, our hands lifted up. Thank you, Lord. Pour 14:02 out your spirit, we pray. We open our mouths wide believing that you will fill it because you promised the Holy Spirit to those who would ask, Lord. And so we cry to you not just when it's day day and night. We cry to you believing that 14:13 you will soon give us that power that we need to live this life and you'll fill us daily, continually, constantly filled. Lord, thank you for this life. We pray for every marriage, Lord, that our marriages will be more a testimony 14:26 of heaven, of the unity in heaven here on this earth. Lord, let our marriages be like heaven here on this earth. That those who witness us, those who see us will know that there's something different. We're not just a husband and 14:37 wife that are staying together year by year, but we're being united more deeply in love. You said we would be one as you and the father are one. Lord Jesus, this was your final prayer for us. And so we claim it. You asked it, and we believe 14:49 that which you ask will be fulfilled. That this year will be a year of deeper unity in our marriages, husbands and wives knit together in deeper love. We pray for marriages that have grown cold or where there's strife or distance or a 15:02 disunityity. I pray that you'll come in, Lord, and breathe a fresh air in it through your Holy Spirit and knit every marriage here, every brother, sister that's married, Lord, knit our hearts together. Pray for our children, Lord, 15:14 that this year they will be a year when those that have still not been awakened in their spirits will be awakened, Lord, to this to by your Holy Spirit to walk in newness of life, to live with you, to walk with you, to experience an 15:26 increasing power in their lives. You said the promise of the Holy Spirit was for our children as well. So, we claim it, Lord. And we believe again as we pray it continually. We pray again today that not one of these children will be 15:37 lost, Lord. We believe your promise is for them as well. So save them, Lord. I pray touch each child even during this meeting, Lord. And as we testify of your goodness and testify of the hope that is within us, Lord, today I pray that you 15:51 will anoint our tongues with prophecy. Let the testimony of Jesus, which is the spirit of prophecy, reign in our midst here, Lord, today and every day of our lives together. We thank we commit our earthly needs to you as well, Lord. 16:02 Those that are sick, some who are sick, can't be here today, or deal with constant pain in their bodies, Lord, uh we we ask, Lord, in faith that you will touch and heal them. We know that our bodies are are decaying anyway while our 16:14 inner man is growing into your image, Lord. But if it is your will, will you touch those who are who are in need of that physical touch from you so that our bodies might serve you more fruitfully, more usefully here on this earth, Lord. 16:26 So touch those that need a healing touch from you today. We commit our jobs, our earthly needs to you, schooling for the children. All of that we put into your hands, Lord. You said, "Cast our cares on you because you care for us. You will 16:38 carry our burden." Lord, you told us not to worry about tomorrow because worry tomorrow will worry about itself. We don't have to worry about what we will eat or how we will make it through this year. You will carry us, Lord Jesus. We 16:49 put our faith in you completely. We refuse to trust the things of this earth because everything on this earth is fading away. The world is passing away, Lord. But you alone are eternal and we who do your will will live forever. You 17:03 promised it, Lord. Help us to do your will. Help us to do your will, Lord Jesus. Reveal your will to us. We believe you'll show it to us and by your Holy Spirit we will live according to your will and we will have that eternal 17:14 life within us in increasing measure. Your coming is soon Lord. We know it Lord. You could come at any moment we want to be ready. We know that most of the world will not be ready. You will come like a thief in the night in the 17:25 twinkling of an eye. Lord you will you'll be here. So Lord help us to live in readiness to be dressed in readiness every every moment of every day. No matter what we're doing here on this earth to live in readiness for your 17:37 coming. Thank you, Lord Jesus. We love your coming. We love your appearing. And we know that there's a crown of righteousness waiting for us who love your appearing. Praise you, Lord. Praise you and exalt you. Thank you in Jesus 17:50 name. Amen. Jesus is coming to take his bride home. Read about that. He spoke about that when he was here on this earth.

In these last days, a work so blessed 18:54 is what of God. Oh, come and see. A body formed to Christ on glory.

This is what a disciple is. One who follows his master, one who follows her master. Jesus said, "If you follow me, I will make you fishers of men." and others observing your life and your faith and your conduct will 22:58 want to know the same Jesus who has transformed your life. Dear brothers, dear sisters, and even you dear children, this is our calling here on this earth. Not just that we will be there with Jesus, but that as many as were around us in your school, on the 23:11 playground, in your workplace, in the grocery store, walking down the street will have seen something of Christ in you that they will also be drawn to him. Make this your prayer. Lord Jesus, make me a fisher of men that others who see 23:26 the path that I've walked will look at me and say, "Lord, I want to follow you as he followed Christ, as she followed Christ." were pes on the journey of the none before us find the way 23:50 cheering on the faithful encouraging the weary and a stiring testament to God's sustaining grace Surrounded by so great a cloud of witness 24:13 the race before the heart those who go long before us.
