“I called to the Lord, who is worthy of praise and I have
been saved from my enemies.”
Psalm 18:3
Consider the
“line-up”
1. The
Musicians 2. The Singers 3. The
Ark or Presence of God
4. The
Priests and then 5. those in the
fight!
II Chronicles 20:15–17 Whatever YOUR battle… God is saying to you…STOP
This is NOT your fight to fight. God will fight the battle
on your behalf!
In the “Natural” things will
never been seen clearly. When we have the “Mind of Christ”… we see things
SUPERnaturally. God says… “I WILL MAKE A WAY!”
Isaiah 43:16-19 God is making a way! Let Him go before
you! BUT before you run to the battle… PRAISE!
As we read the Scripture and in particular see the Old Testament
“types” about how music and worship were used, it reveals to us that New
Testament worship is indeed a weapon of Spiritual Warfare. Just as the
application and appropriation of the blood of the Lamb covers and protects us
today, our understanding of what is taking place in the spirit realm as we praise
God is integral to our victory as well. It could be said that the Christian—who
knows the havoc that his or her worship to God is also wreaking on the powers
of darkness in that general locale—will endeavor to worship God with all the
more vigor! In fact, it is the glory of the saints to inflict damage
on the Devil and his workers!
The person who is experiencing life’s turmoil or spiritual
oppression, is the very person who needs more than anyone else to begin to
praise God!
When you RAISE THE PRAISE…It is confounding to the enemy and
glorifying to God. Plus, it will be a powerful witness to those around you as
you walk through the trials with an attitude of praise, giving God the glory
for His strength in you.
