I WOKE UP WITH AN OLD SONG ON MY MIND. THE NAME OF IT IS PRAISE THE LORD THE CHORUS SAYS
🎵GOD INHABITS PRAISE.
PRAISE THE LORD
THOSE CHAINS THAT SEEM TO BIND YOU WILL SERVE ONLY TO REMIND YOU
THEY FALL POWERLESS BEHIND YOU
WHEN YOU PRAISE HIM.🎵
OF COURSE EVERY TIME I HEAR THIS SONG MY MIND GOES TO PAUL IN SILAS WHEN THEY WERE IMPRISONED
FOR DELIVERING A GIRL FROM A DEMON
Acts 16:22-26
Paul and Silas Imprisoned
22 The crowd rose up together against them, and the chief magistrates tore their robes off them and proceeded to order them to be beaten with rods. 23 When they had struck them with many blows, they threw them into prison, commanding the jailer to guard them securely; 24 and he, having received such a command, threw them into the inner prison and fastened their feet in the stocks.
25 But about midnight Paul and Silas were PRAYING and singing HYMNS of PRAISE to GOD, and the prisoners were listening to them; 26 and suddenly there came a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison house were shaken; and immediately ALL THE DOORS WERE OPENED and EVERYONES CHAINS WERE UNFASTENED.
THE PRAISE THAT THEY OFFERED NOT ONLY SET THEM FREE BUT IT OPENED THE DOOR FOR ALL THE PRISONERS
GOD INHABITS THE PRAISES OF HIS PEOPLE
WHEN PRAISE GOES UP TO THE FATHER
THE FATHERS GLORY COMES DOWN
2 Chronicles 5:11-14
The Glory of God Fills the Temple
11 When the priests came forth from the holy place (for all the priests who were present had sanctified themselves, without regard to divisions), 12 and all the Levitical singers, Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and their sons and kinsmen, clothed in fine linen, with cymbals, harps and lyres, standing east of the altar, and with them one hundred and twenty priests blowing trumpets 13 in unison when the trumpeters and the singers were to make themselves heard with one voice to PRAISE and to GLORIFY the Lord, and when they lifted up their voice accompanied by trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and when they praised the Lord saying, “ He indeed is good for His lovingkindness is everlasting,” then the house, the house of the Lord, was filled with a cloud, 14 so that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud, for the glory of the Lord filled the house of God.
THIS SAME GLORY IS AVAILABLE TO US AND THERE IS GREAT DELIVERANCE THAT COMES FROM LIFTING UP YOUR VOICE TO PRAISE THE LIVING GOD
When God’s people begin to praise His name, it sends the enemy running! I challenge you to become a person of praise, and you will experience the release of the power of God!
Psalms 21:13
Be exalted, O Lord, in Your strength;
We will sing and praise Your power.
