PRAISE”= THE REQUIRED SACRIFICE

THE PRIVALEDGE OF PRAISE

HOW DO WE PRAISE THE LORD?

Then again
Ps.150:6 Says: Praise him with the sound of the trumpet. praise him with the psaltry and harp. praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments, and organs. praise him upon the ( loud) cymbals, Praise him upon the high sounding cymbals.
let every thing that hath breath praise ye the Lord.
PRAISE IN WARFARE
Praise is a vital element of spiritual warfare, you’ll never know victory until praise holds it’s rightful place in your life.
2Cho.20:22 Tells us how praise makes spiritual warfare effective.
Praise Brings God into our battles, Through praise Gods power is activated on our behalf.
Acts 16:25-26 We find it was through prayer and praise, that the foundations of the prison were shaken and everyones bonds were loosed.
25 ¶ And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.
26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bands were loosed.
Through bold agressive praise, bondages are broken and captives are set free.
Ps.149:6-9 Tells us that through the warfare of praise, we bring evil powers into bondage and execute judgement upon them.
"Let the high praises of God, be in their mouth, and a twoedged sword in their hand: to bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron: To execute judgement upon them the judgement written.
Praise and worship time in our services is not just a time to be blessed, it’s the time to become bold and agressive and begin to do warfare in behalf of those who are bound and oppressed by the devil,
If it seems the devil is gaining ground in your life, then you better check your praise level. (Satan cannot endure the praises of God)
If you want to know where God lives, I’ve found his address -Ps 22:3 But thou art holy o thou that inhabitest the praises of Isreal.
Has God been Homeless? If your life is void of praise, then God has been homeless, It’s time to give him a home and a throne ( Fill your life with his praises.)
