THE POWER OF PRAISING GOD

IN PSALMS 34:1 KING DAVID DECLARED...
"I WILL BLESS THE LORD AT ALL TIMES: HIS PRAISE SHALL CONTINUALLY BE IN MY MOUTH".

DAVID WAS A MAN JUST LIKE US, PERIODICALLY EXPERIENCING TROUBLES & WOES, JUST LIKE US, AND YET, HE HAD COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT NO MATTER WHAT, HE WOULD CHOOSE TO PRAISE THE LORD!
HEAVEN'S RESPONSE? "HE (GOD) HEARD ME, AND DELIVERED ME FROM ALL MY FEARS" (VERSE 5)

NO RECORD IN THE BIBLE IS THERE BY ACCIDENT. THEY ARE ALL PLACED THERE WITH DIVINE DELIBERATION, THAT WE MAY LEARN THEREBY.

THERE WAS ANOTHER KING BY THE NAME OF JEHOSHAPHAT. ONE DAY NEWS CAME TO HIM THAT 3 ENEMY ARMIES WERE ON THEIR WAY TO TAKE OVER HIS KINGDOM. HE FASTED, PRAYED & CRIED OUT TO GOD, WHO PROMISED THAT THE BATTLE WAS NOT HIS, BUT THE LORD'S. THE NEXT DAY, THE KING DID A VERY STRANGE THING...IN FRONT OF HIS ARMY HE PLACED SINGERS... PEOPLE TO PRAISE THE LORD FOR HIS GOODNESSES & MERCIES.
HEAVEN'S RESPONSE? "WHEN THEY BEGAN TO SING & TO PRAISE..." THE LORD MADE THEIR ENEMIES TO ATTACK ONE ANOTHER UNTIL NOT ONE WAS LEFT! AND, THAT'S NOT ALL. WHEN ISRAEL CAME UPON THEIR ENEMIES CAMP THEY FOUND RICHES & TREASURES IN SUCH ABUNDANCE THAT IT TOOK THEM 3 DAYS TO GATHER ALL THE SPOIL! ON THE 4TH DAY WHAT DID THEY DO? YOU GUESSED IT, THEY DEDICATED THE ENTIRE DAY TO PRAISING THE LORD & CELEBRATED!

PHIL 4:6 TELLS US TO NOT BE WORRIED FOR ANYTHING, BUT TO PRAY TO GOD "WITH THANKSGIVING"! MOST PEOPLE PRAY PRAYERS BUT FAIL TO MIX THEM WITH THANKSGIVINGS.

A MISSIONARY LAY DYING IN A QUARANTINED SECTION OF A HOSPITAL IN AFRICA. SHE WAS DUE TO DIE FROM SOME UNKNOWN DISEASE. SHE PRAYED & PRAYED. NOTHING. ONE NIGHT GOD SHOWED HER A VISION OF A SET OF SCALES WITH A LARGE BASKET HANGING ON EITHER END. THE FULL BASKET, WHICH HUNG TO THE GROUND, WAS MARKED, 'PRAYERS' AND THE OTHER WHICH SWAYED EMPTILY IN THE AIR WAS MARKED, 'PRAISES'. INSTANTLY SHE KNEW THAT SHE NEEDED TO CORRECT THIS, SO, THAT NIGHT SHE BEGAN TO FILL HER MOUTH & THE EMPTY WARD WITH HER PRAISES TO GOD. ALL THE NURSES & PATIENTS HEARD HER LOUDLY DECLARING THE GOODNESSES OF GOD. ONE HOUR, TWO HOURS, THREE PASSED... UNTIL FINALLY MORNING CAME AND SHE WAS STILL GIVING GOD THANKS WHEN ANOTHER VISION APPEARED... THE SAME SCALES HAD NOW REVERSED AND THE 'PRAISES' BASKET LAY FIRMLY ON THE GROUND FULL, & RUNNING OVER ... AND, SHE WAS COMPLETELY HEALED!

ONE LAST RECORD...
PAUL & SILAS WERE BEATEN BADLY FOR PREACHING THE GOSPEL THEN, CHAINED AND PLACED INTO A MAXIMUM SECURITY PRISON LOOKING TO A MOST PROBABLE BEHEADING IN THE MORNING! WHAT DID THEY DO? "AND, AT MIDNIGHT PAUL & SILAS PRAYED AND SANG PRAISES UNTO GOD".
HEAVEN'S RESPONSE? "AND, SUDDENLY... THERE WAS A GREAT EARTHQUAKE... THE FOUNDATIONS OF THE PRISON WERE SHAKEN... AND, IMMEDIATELY ALL THE DOORS WERE OPENED AND EVERYONE'S CHAINS WERE LOOSED"! WOW! ACTS 16:25,26

NOW,... ARE YOU IN SOME 'PRISON' THAT IS HOLDING YOU? HAVE YOU PRAYED & PRAYED... AND NOTHING HAS YET TO CHANGE? MY FRIEND, IT MAY BE TIME TO ... TURN ON THE PRAISE! LET'S TURN ON THE PRAISE AND RAISE OUR VOICES IN THANKSGIVING TO OUR GOD WHO IS ABLE & WILLING TO DEFEAT OUR ENEMIES & BRING OUR 'IMPOSSIBILITIES' TO AN END.

TODAY, LET'S BRING THE "SACRIFICE OF PRAISE TO GOD, CONTINUALLY, THAT IS, THE FRUIT OF OUR LIPS GIVING THANKS TO HIS NAME" (HEBREWS 13:15) AND, HE SHALL ARISE & DELIVER US IN A GRAND & EXCELLENT WAY.

GOD BLESS YOU.
