Raise The Praise!



“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.
