I just had to share- Absolute Praise
Absolute Praise
Elder Marquis Boone
Psalms 34:1 (NKJV)
"I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth".
How many of you would really like to see breakthroughs in some cir****tances and situations not only in your life but in this world? As believers we should get tired of the same old things, and the same old tactics. We ought to get tired of living from day to day without any joy, peace, and happiness in our lives.
We ought to be tired of going to a place of worship week after week, and leaving the same way we came. I don't know about you but I'm tired of being the defeated one and not the over-comer.
As believers we have a weapon that is so powerful. Paul said that, "the weapons of our warfare are not carnal...But mighty in God for four things: (2 Corinthians 10:4-5 (NKJV))
1) Pulling down strongholds.
2) Casting down arguments.
3) Casting down every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God.
4) Bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ".
Praise is that powerful weapon that we use to get through the hell and chaos that the enemy tries to bring our way. PRAISE is the articulation of your adoring heart to God. It's through our encounter and experience with praise that we are able to fight for our life and break free from bondage. Please understand me when I tell you that true praise has the ability to be powerful.
Psalms 35:27-28 (NKJV)
"Let them shout for joy and be glad, Who favor my righteous cause; And let them say continually, 'Let the Lord be magnified'".
Proverbs 18:21 (NKJV)
"Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit".
In this season of your life you must understand that what comes out of your mouth will dictate what happens in your life. If you want powerful things to happen begin to praise and magnify the Lord. If you get laid off just say let the Lord be magnified. While co-workers are talking about you because you got the promotion and they applied for it and didn't get it, just say let the Lord be magnified. Folks will start tripping off of the favor that God has shown you, but let them trip! Favor is not fair!
You better learn how to praise God through your adversity...
Learn how to praise Him through trails and tribulations....
Learn how to praise Him through hell and havoc...
Learn how to praise Him through sickness and pain...
Because this is the fight of your life.
