2025-03-16 : Tom Lunger – Becoming a Friend of God with Prophecies

Second Sunday in Lent Old Testament Genesis 15:1-12,17-18 The word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, "Do not be afraid, Abram, I am your shield; your reward shall be very great." But Abram said, "O Lord God, what will you give me, for I continue childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?" And Abram said, "You have given me no offspring, and so a slave born in my house is to be my heir." But the word of the Lord came to him, "This man shall not be your heir; no one but your very own issue shall be your heir." He brought him outside and said, "Look toward heaven and count the stars, if you are able to count them." Then he said to him, "So shall your descendants be." And he believed the Lord; and the Lord reckoned it to him as righteousness. Then he said to him, "I am the Lord who brought you from Ur of the Chaldeans, to give you this land to possess." But he said, "O Lord God, how am I to know that I shall possess it?" He said to him, "Bring me a heifer three years old, a female goat three years old, a ram three years old, a turtledove, and a young pigeon." He brought him all these and cut them in two, laying each half over against the other; but he did not cut the birds in two. And when birds of prey came down on the carcasses, Abram drove them away. As the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram, and a deep and terrifying darkness descended upon him. When the sun had gone down and it was dark, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces. On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, "To your descendants I give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates." The Psalm Psalm 27 Dominus illuminatio 1 The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom then shall I fear? * the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom then shall I be afraid? 2 When evildoers came upon me to eat up my flesh, * it was they, my foes and my adversaries, who  stumbled and fell. 3 Though an army should encamp against me, * yet my heart shall not be afraid; 4 And though war should rise up against me, * yet will I put my trust in him. 5 One thing have I asked of the Lord; one thing I seek; * that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life; 6 To behold the fair beauty of the Lord * and to seek him in his temple. 7 For in the day of trouble he shall keep me safe  in his shelter; * he shall hide me in the secrecy of his dwelling and set me high upon a rock. 8 Even now he lifts up my head * above my enemies round about me. 9 Therefore I will offer in his dwelling an oblation with sounds of great gladness; * I will sing and make music to the Lord. 10 Hearken to my voice, O Lord, when I call; * have mercy on me and answer me. 11 You speak in my heart and say, "Seek my face." * Your face, Lord, will I seek. 12 Hide not your face from me, * nor turn away your servant in displeasure. 13 You have been my helper;  cast me not away; * do not forsake me, O God of my salvation. 14 Though my father and my mother forsake me, * the Lord will sustain me. 15 Show me your way, O Lord; * lead me on a level path, because of my enemies. 16 Deliver me not into the hand of my adversaries, *  for false witnesses have risen up against me,  and also those who speak malice. 17 What if I had not believed that I should see the goodness of the Lord * in the land of the living! 18 O tarry and await the Lord's pleasure; be strong, and he shall comfort your heart; * wait patiently for the Lord. The Epistle Philippians 3:17-4:1 Brothers and sisters, join in imitating me, and observe those who live according to the example you have in us. For many live as enemies of the cross of Christ; I have often told you of them, and now I tell you even with tears. Their end is destruction; their god is the belly; and their glory is in their shame; their minds are set on earthly things. But our citizenship is in heaven, and it is from there that we are expecting a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. He will transform the body of our humiliation that it may be conformed to the body of his glory, by the power that also enables him to make all things subject to himself. Therefore, my brothers and sisters, whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, stand firm in the Lord in this way, my beloved. The Gospel Luke 13:31-35 Some Pharisees came and said to Jesus, "Get away from here, for Herod wants to kill you." He said to them, "Go and tell that fox for me, 'Listen, I am casting out demons and performing cures today and tomorrow, and on the third day I finish my work. Yet today, tomorrow, and the next day I must be on my way, because it is impossible for a prophet to be killed outside of Jerusalem.' Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! How often have I desired to gather your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you were not willing! See, your house is left to you. And I tell you, you will not see me until the time comes when you say, 'Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord.'"

Through faith in Jesus, we are friends of God.

We were created and formed with the intention of being friends with God. Friendship with God is the result of the process of walking with God, listening and doing what He asks and loving Him. Friendship with God is the highest privilege of our lives and the ultimate reason that we were born. GIVE HERE - https://awake.church/give

7 Steps that are required before we can be considered a friend of God.

Send us a textPastor Johnny shares a word on cultivating friendship with God. Enjoy!

We looked at 3 things Abraham did for which God called him 'friend'.

Jim Farlow gives a message about being a friend of God and the people in the Bible that were friends of God.

Pastor Dawn's beloved mentor, Bishop Rick Thomas of Abundant Life in Margate, Florida, blessed our congregation with godly wisdom on how to be a friend of God and receive His favor on your life! The same attributes that brought God's extreme favor on Abraham's life will bring God's extreme favor on your life, too. You will see God release faith and favor for souls to be saved, for unusual miracles when you pray, and for supernatural increase in your finances. You will also see God release in you a spirit of generosity because He Himself takes great pleasure in the prosperity of His children. Generosity is a key in fulfilling God's promise to make sure your future is always greater than your past!

Does God have "friends?"  If so, could you be one of them?

FAITH IS… with Pastor Rick Stevens – Christmas continues with the story of the wise men, tracing back to Daniel in Babylon. This story signifies an invitation for all people to enter a covenant with God, who is ever faithful. Reflect today on renewing or starting your covenant relationship and embrace the friendship God offers. Step into faith and hope this season!

The warning God gives to Judah is the one we must heed. What happened to Israel could also happen to Judah and eventually it did. What has happened in the lives of many people who have fallen could also happen to us if we do not keep the Lord in His rightful place on a daily basis. This ought to cause us to fear the Lord, to love Him, serve Him, and to keep Him as the God of our lives.

Friendship with God is one of the most profound invitations found in John 15:13-16. In this passage, Jesus reveals the depth of His love by declaring that true friendship is marked by sacrifice, even to the point of laying down one's life. He goes further, calling His followers friends rather than servants, emphasizing a relationship built on love, trust, and shared purpose. This friendship isn't passive—it calls us to remain connected to Him, follow His commands, and bear lasting fruit. Through these words, we see not only the privilege of being called friends of God but also the responsibility to live in a way that honors this sacred connection.

As Greg recaps what we have learned from Rusty George's book, Friend of God, over the past 6 weeks, he challenges us to remember where our identity is found and the price that was paid for us. 1 John 2:2 reminds us, “He himself is the sacrifice that atones for our sins…” ________________________________________________________________________________________________ Look for HOPE is Here: - at www.HOPEisHere.Today - on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/HOPEisHereToday - on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/hopeisherelex/ - on X (Twitter) - https://www.x.com/hopeisherelex - on TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@hopeisherelex - on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtJ47I4w6atOHr7agGpOuvA Help us bring HOPE and encouragement to others: - by texting the word GIVE to 833-713-1591 - by visiting https://www.hopeisheretoday.org/donate   #Lexington #Kentucky #christianradio #JesusRadio #Jesus #WJMM #GregHorn #GregJHorn #suicideprevention #KentuckyRadio #HOPEisHere #Hope #HopeinJesus #FoodForThoughtFriday #MondayMotivation #FridayFeeling #Motivation #Inspiration #cupofHope #FYP #ForYouPage #SuicideAwareness

When you learn how Jesus defines you, it really changes you! Greg summarizes the past 6 weeks as we have walked through the series, Friend of God, based on Rusty George's book.

Sometimes we mistakenly imagine things on earth as “heaven on earth.” Death is not an end, it's a new and glorious beginning to a beautiful new life.

In his sermon, "Friend Of God," Pastor Rob McCoy dives into the book of James to explore what it truly means to be called a friend of God. He emphasizes that our obedience to God comes not from obligation, but from a genuine desire to respond to His love and sacrifice for us. As God's friends, we can trust that He has our best interests at heart and that whatever He asks of us is for our good. Imagine the abundant life we could live if we trusted God wholeheartedly.Verse References: James 2 verses 14-26Make sure you subscribe to this channel and follow us on all our platforms to always stay up to date with our latest content!And you can always head over to our website for any general information!https://godspeak.comPrayer/NeedsIf you have any needs, or have a willingness to be used to meet various need in the body, please email info@godspeak.com.
