Obeyed
I gave you a Spirit that when He is obeyed love will flow
The heart of man is only full when My Spirit glows
Radiant and bright, shining forth in all of your life
Walk in the glory of heaven every word obeyed will cut the evil one like a knife
Speak the name of Jesus over every mountain in your path tonight
Call out in all confidence that your faith is sealed and you have won the fight
Every word you obeyed out of the faith of another is the same for you
Stand firm with an attitude that every wish of your heart will come true
All your troubles will be placed under your feet for you to walk upon
Your power over them will conquer all evil till the war you have won
My word is truth and a light that will guide your life if it is obeyed
Declare your freedom from the sins of earth for the debt has been paid
Salvation is granted to all who seek Jesus with all strength from within
When you have obeyed the calling on your life you will never yield to sin
Devote a time each day to seek guidance in what it is you should do
My love will fill your thoughts and guide your steps when obeyed from a heart that is true
(Rom 6:17 – 18 NIV) 17 – But thanks be to God that, though you used to be slaves to sin, you wholeheartedly obeyed the form of teaching to which you were entrusted 18 – You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness..
(Phil 2:12 – 13 NRSV) 12 – Therefore, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed me, not only in my presence, but much more now in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; 13 – for it is God who is at work in you, enabling you both to will and to work for his good pleasure.
(1 Pet 3:4 – 8 NRSV) 4 – rather, let your adornment be the inner self with the lasting beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in God’s sight. 5 – It was in this way long ago that the holy women who hoped in God used to adorn themselves by accepting the authority of their husbands. 6 – Thus Sarah obeyed Abraham and called him lord. You have become her daughters as long as you do what is good and never let fears alarm you. 7 – Husbands, in the same way, show consideration for your wives in your life together, paying honor to the woman as the weaker sex, since they too are also heirs of the gracious gift of life — so that nothing may hinder your prayers. 8 – Finally, all of you, have unity of spirit, sympathy, love for one another, a tender heart, and a humble mind
