PRAISE HIM-There's power behind it....

Psalm 149:5-9 (NKJV) says

“5 Let the saints be joyful in glory;
Let them sing aloud on their beds.
6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth,
And a two-edged sword in their hand,
7 To execute vengeance on the nations,
And punishments on the peoples;
8 To bind their kings with chains,
And their nobles with fetters of iron;
9 To execute on them the written judgment—
This honor have all His saints.
Praise the Lord!”

When we praise God with our mouth, wow at the opportunity we have to heap piles of hot coals on the enemy.

Ephesians 6:12 (NLT) says

“We are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.”

Disease, poverty, demons, spiritual attacks on our family, children, finances, relationships, or whatever…these are our battles…the spiritual battles that go on the unseen world! But our praise, oh our praises…they bring vengeance and punishment on the enemy! Our praises bind the enemy with shackles and iron chains and execute on them the written judgment that God has for them! WOW!!! Just in our praise, we can punish the enemy, we can have vengeance on him, we can begin his judgment day now!

What does your praise do? Is it enough to really punish the enemy? What kind of words are you speaking today? Who are you defeating, yourself or the enemy?

I have been guilty of not living a life of praise. Life gets hard and busy and I tend to fall to the tricks of the enemy with my praise. I have failed to start his judgment but today is a new day. And this word of the Lord has shed new light on what I am changing starting now! I want the enemy to know I am in charge! I control him, not he controls me! I bind him today and I loose the plans of God for myself and for my family! I loose blessings, honor, prosperity, spiritual victory in every area of our lives! We Win!!!

Matthew 18:18 (NKJV)

“Assuredly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”


PRAISE HIM TODAY!

Psalm 150 (NLT)

“1 Praise the Lord!
Praise God in his sanctuary;
    praise him in his mighty heaven!
2 Praise him for his mighty works;
    praise his unequaled greatness!
3 Praise him with a blast of the ram’s horn;
    praise him with the lyre and harp!
4 Praise him with the tambourine and dancing;
    praise him with strings and flutes!
5 Praise him with a clash of cymbals;
    praise him with loud clanging cymbals.
6 Let everything that breathes sing praises to the Lord!
Praise the Lord!
