PRAISE
by Pastor Marie Esposito
Give God permission to change your life right now. Worship is my warfare- my praise is a weapon
I WILL bless the Lord at all times, His praise shall continually be in my mouth Psalm 34
PRAISE elevates us – PRAISE lifts us up
PRAISE raises us up – PRAISE aligns us
PRAISE OPENS A PORTAL TO AN OPEN HEAVEN
PRAISE causes us to ascend to where He lives in the kingdom of the Most HIGH GOD
PRAISE lifts our vision to SEE HIM
PRAISE is a place we live with an
ATTITUDE OF THANKSGIVING- He inhabits our praise
We need to be filled with Praise to Him
so we are filled WITH HIM
AT THE READY…
AT THE READY…
AT THE READY…
All things work together for good for those who are called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28
ALL FOR HIS PURPOSE
TO DISPLAY HIS MAJESTY
THROUGH US
Holy Spirit is The Resident in my heart, in the inner court, expressing His love to me and through me.
He is not a visitor.
Let the high praises of God be in my mouth and a two edged sword in my Hand. why? To execute vengeance on the nations, to bind their kings with chains, their nobles with iron fetters.
This is our honor as the saints of the Lord. Psalm 149
HE GETS BIGGER AND BIGGER AND THE ENEMY GETS SMALLER AND SMALLER UNTIL THE ENEMY DISAPPEARS FROM VIEW AND ALL WE SEE IS HIS HEART OF BEAUTY.
Psalm 119:165- 7 times a day and all day long I praise YOU because of your righteous decrees.
Great peace have they who love your law and nothing shall by any means offend them or make them stumble.
STAY BEYOND OFFENSE. GO HIGHER.
Offenses hinder our advancement
FORGIVE FORGIVE FORGIVE
Release the offense and the offender as well. REST IN HIS ARMS [God] AND SEE THE OFFENDER IN HIS ARMS AS WELL. – Matt 11:6
Are you sharing the true gospel?
Have you been persecuted for righteousness sake? Offended because you are a Christian?
Mocked? Rejected? Misunderstood? Pushed aside? Disrespected? Accused? Cast Aside?
Whipped? Beaten? Spit on? Stoned? Crucified?
Hebrews 12: 3 – We have not yet resisted unto blood.
Do not hold grudges. Keep short accounts.
Philippians 4:8 – Whatsoever is true and honest and just and pure, and lovely, virtuous or praiseworthy; think on these things.
Let heaven fill your thoughts. Colossians 3:2
Forgive forgive forgive
We say: ABBA WE BELONG TO YOU, YOU ARE OUR DELIGHT AND OUR DESIRE.
KEEP GOING. DON’T QUIT.
We praise Him because we value Him!
Praise is the element of celebration that can transport us into the throne room of God right in the midst of the place we find ourselves in.
God is looking for true worshipers who worship Him in spirit and in truth. John 4:24
YADAH- means to praise with extended, lifted up hands. SURRENDERED TO HIM
JUDAH – means praise- it also means to throw or shoot a stone or arrow at your enemy.
PRAISE AND WORSHIP ARE OUR STRONGEST WEAPONS OF WARFARE.
Resting in His victory in the midst of praises brings His Presence in peace. Then we SEE HIM.
Satan hates it. He wants us to worship him
We give thanks for each and every aspect of God’s nature and character. Right where we are now.
As we worship with our hands outstretched our daily provision is released.
PRAISE AND THANKSGIVING ARE THE OPPOSITE OF WORRY AND ANXIETY.
THERE IS A FOUNTAIN AND A WELL DEEP INSIDE YOU.
Embrace the cost and experience the real fruit of praise all the time.
Psalm 134 a song to bring you higher… All his loving priests who serve and sing, come and sing your song of blessing to God. Come and stand before him in the house of God throughout the night watch, lifting up your hands in holy worship; come and bless the Lord! May the Lord, whom you worship, the mighty Maker of heaven and earth, bless you from Zion’s glory!
