IN THE MIDST OF, INSPITE OF, JUST BECAUSE: I'LL PRAISE THE LORD!!

I will bless the LORD at ALL times: HIS PRAISE shall CONTINUALLY be in MY MOUTH. Psalm 34:1

We were created to Praise the Lord! In all things, at all times, for every blessing, every disappointment, every up and every down, no matter what the situation or circumstance we must give God Praise. I know for alot of us when things are not going the way we think or feel they ought to go we can't and don't praise God. When tragedy hits, or we get a bad report from the Doctor concerning ourself or a family member, we cannot and do not give God Praise. But in whatever we go through PRAISE should always be our first response. Why? Because the Bible tells us in James 1:1-1 "To count it all Joy..." It is in the midst of Praising God that we release the stress, heartache, disappointment, misunderstanding, confusion, etc. and every other negative thought and feeling that comes to keep us from praising God. When we praise God we receive peace, assurance that God is working all things together for our good and that TRULY, GOD IS IN CONTROL, we are also letting the enemy know that we have the VICTORY no matter what. We can rejoice and praise God because we know that our trials come to make us strong. Our praise to God is a spiritual weapon of warfare against the enemy. Our praise also brings us to a place of regaining focus for what God is doing and wants to do in our lives. Our praise cannot be limited to "Sunday Services" where we get our dance or shout on in front of people with the organ and drums. We must praise God when there is no crowd or musicians. We must be able to war alone as well as corporately. When we praise God, our praise releases our miracles, blessings, deliverance, healing and everything else we need from God. Our praise summons the very presence of God in the midst of our situations and circumstances. Our praise moves God to move for us (together with our faith). Our praise confuses the enemy. Our praise causes breakthrough in the atmosphere. Our praise is powerful and we must learn to use it at all times. It's time out for just quoting scriptures because they sound good, are easy to learn or because we heard some one else say it. The Word of God is the Sword of the Spirit so it must be active in us as well as for us. "In everything we must give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning us".1 Thess. 5:18. DECLARE THIS DAY AND EVERYDAY: I WILL BLESS THE LORD AT ALL TIMES: AND HIS PRAISE SHALL CONTINUALLY BE IN MY MOUTH!!
