THERE IS POWER IN HALLELUJAH PRAISE

10/3/2023

“I will bless the LORD at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth” (Psalm 34:1)

Praise is a weapon that can reverse the irreversible, destroy cancer, restore relationships, unstop deaf ears, change death sentences, break down prison doors, repeal judgments, and destroy destructive habits when it’s done by revelation. Many engage in what they call praise and worship, yet the manifestation of the glory that ought to follow every true praise is absent. This is because they do not praise God with revelation. Psalm 47:7 says, "For God is the King of all the earth: sing ye praises with understanding." In other words, our praise to God must come from a place of revelation; if not, it will be in vain like Jesus described in Matthew 15:9. 

The scriptures are replete with the unstoppable power of praise. Nations were literally brought to their knees when praise activated the shekinah glory. Today, you can activate the same power of praise by taking stock of what God has done in your life and the lives of others and meditating on them. Do it long enough until praise ruptures in your soul. Focus only on the greatness of the name of Jesus Christ and recall the mercy of God over your life. When you do this, you will experience the true meaning of praise--the kind that can reverse the irreversible.

Understanding the power of praise, Hezekiah reversed a death sentence that God Himself had issued with a pledge of praise. God told Hezekiah through the prophet Isaiah that he was going to die. Rather than call it a day and die, he turned his face to the wall and petitioned God. The Bible says, “Before Isaiah had left the middle court, the word of the Lord came to him: “Go back and tell Hezekiah, the ruler of my people, ‘This is what the Lord, the God of your father David, says: I have heard your prayer and seen your tears; I will heal you. On the third day from now, you will go up to the temple of the Lord. I will add fifteen years to your life. And I will deliver you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria. I will defend this city for my sake and for the sake of my servant David” (2 Kings 20:4-6).

The three Hebrew boys (Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego) had a revelation of the power of praise to God and were certain not to ascribe such praise to any other object or being. Even when threatened with being thrown into a fiery furnace for not bowing to the golden image, they said to Nebuchadnezzar, "...O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter.  If that is the case, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us from your hand, O king. But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we do not serve your gods, nor will we worship the gold image which you have set up” (Daniel 3:16-18).

There is nothing that praising God can not turn around. You may have been given terrible news, but if you look away from that news and laser your attention on the power of God and praise Him, there will be a change. If a fiery furnace of fire could not bring the three Hebrew boys to their knees, I am telling you that no situation can change what Jesus has already done for you. No cancer, sickness, lack, or hell can reverse God's divine order over your life. You will live and not die until what God fashioned you for is fulfilled. 

David said, “I will bless the LORD at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth” (Psalm 34:1) 

Be filled with praise, no matter the situation. There is power in praising God.

God bless you.

Faith-filled confession:

I will bless the Lord at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth. Irrespective of the circumstances I may face, my mouth will stay filled with praises to my Lord, my God, my King. 

Prayer Points

John 12:9-11

"Much people of the Jews therefore knew that he was there: and they came not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead. But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death; Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away and believed on Jesus."

For as many that have testified, pray against any impediment to their testimonies. As they testified, their victory is sealed. Any attempt of hell to refute their testimonies will not succeed in Jesus' name. 

Pray that many will be healed, saved, delivered, and promoted through their testimonies.

Pray that our ministry will more than double before the close of the year with unspeakable testimonies and praise reports.
