Praise is the Quickest Way!

Praise your way to victory.

Do you need a miracle in your life? Are you in a situation that seems hopeless and you don’t know what to do? Do you know the quickest and easiest way to results?

Many times in the Bible people called for a musician because they knew that PRAISE stirred up the power, presence and anointing of God. It also shuts up the devil’s mouth! Jesus came from the ancestral lineage of Judah and the word Judah means “praise”. Jesus was called the “lion of Judah” which literally means “lion of praise.” When you are in praise you leave fear behind. Praise releases the ability and power of God into your situation and every part of your life. Psalm 113:1 says…”Praise ye the Lord. Praise. O ye servants of the Lord, praise the name of the Lord.”  Psalm 113:7 says….."He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill.” That is a very powerful promise my friend! This is WHY we’re told so many times in the scriptures to PRAISE THE LORD because it benefits US! The Lord doesn’t need our praise. He is simply trying to get a channel open where we’re focused on Him and we’re looking to Him. Releasing faith through praise gives Him the ability to come into our situation and bring victory. Think about it, medical science has proven that when you laugh your brain releases endorphins which create peace and well being into your life. God made those endorphins. When we praise the Lord there are biochemical changes that occur within our bodies that benefit us. He made our bodies to work in this miraculous way. We just have to do it! There are many studies out there that have shown people that have laughed their way back to health. There are numerous cancer studies that have shown people were cured by laughing everyday. (and these were not Christians).

Worship and praise bring results! Praise releases God’s power! Praise guarantees a struggle free life! It doesn’t mean you’ll never get a bad report or crisis won’t come but it does guarantee that you won’t struggle with them if you will immediately start praising God for turning the tide and lifting you out of it. It’s like the toddler who raises his hands for his mother to lift him up. Are you in a crisis right now? Are your hands raised for your Heavenly Father to lift you up? Praise will lift YOU out of your circumstance! You can literally stop worrying and stop struggling by praising! Praising is the key to quicker manifestation! Let’s say you get a diagnosis of cancer from the doctor. The minute you get that diagnosis take your stand on God’s word and refuse to be moved off of it! Take a scripture such as 1 Peter 2:24 which says by His stripes you are healed! Notice the word is past tense meaning you are already healed. Jesus took your sickness on Him at the cross so that YOU could be healed! So instead of worrying and spewing Satan’s lies of death and destruction out of your mouth get in agreement with God’s word of healing for your body! Instead of worrying start praising God that it’s already accomplished! Turn your worry into worship. Say…”I thank you Lord that according to 1 Peter 2:24 I am already healed. This cancer can’t stay in my body and it has to go! I curse it to its root and cast it into the sea.” (Mark 11:23). You can praise your way to any victory! The Bible says it’s for whosoever will praise Him! All of the victories you will ever need are already accomplished in the spiritual realm! You can learn to use the enemy’s negative forces to turn it around on Him! Look at the life of Job!  God restored Job’s losses! He gave him twice as much as he had before Satan’s attacks!  God turned what Satan meant for his destruction and turned it around for Job’s good! That is because our God is a loving God and His nature is to bless us beyond our wildest dreams! In order for Him to do so we must get in agreement with His word. We must BELIEVE what He says! So many times we are faced with a crisis and our first response is FEAR which is rooted in unbelief. Unbelief is having a higher opinion of yourself and not believing what God says. Fear and unbelief are signs of self righteousness which is the mother of all sins. Unbelief is so prevalent in our world today because people are not meditating on God’s word. Rather than meditating on the life changing word of God they are drowning in the lies of this world. When something bad happens in their life they blame God. God is not our problem. He is our answer!

Meditating on God’s word is marinating on His word. You mutter it out of your mouth throughout your day. You chew on it like a cow chews on its cud. As you marinate you begin to lock into your life the flavor and facets of God’s being and then when life unexpectedly takes a bite out of you it will taste God. When you meditate on God’s word you’re like a sponge loaded with the personality and answers of God and when life touches you the mercy, grace, patience and power of God comes pouring out. The more you praise God the easier it becomes and before you know it you’ve made it a habit. You thank Him for giving you a parking space up front at the mall or for giving you favor with a person at work. Before long you will start seeing results and you’ll be hooked on the praise lifestyle. Praise turns the focus from ourselves and our own situation to other people that God wants us to minister to. Praise puts you in higher faith and confidence. Praise IS confidence! When you’re in that state God can use YOU to minister to others. 

What is the first thing that comes out of your mouth when you get a negative report? Watch what you say! What comes out of your mouth when you first get bad news will set the tone for what you’re going to have to walk through thereafter. What should you do when you get a bad report? Start PRAISING God for the answer that has already been provided! THANK Him for the provision that has already been provided by the wonderful work of Grace! Praise and worship should be the first words that come out of your mouth! When someone pulls out in front of you on the highway instead of getting angry and yelling at them start blessing them! Remember, God restored Job’s losses when he prayed for his friends (Job 32:10). In Job 42:12 we see that it was all doubled in quantity and quality! Job lived to be 140 years old. This story demonstrates that God can and will turn ALL things around for our good!

Praise and worship are the quickest way to relieve yourself of negative things going on in your life! Be like a Teflon coated skillet and let those negative things that come flying at you slide right off! The best way to coat your skillet is to praise the Lord…when you do these things just roll right off of your back. Praise is God’s Teflon! When the attacks hit they won’t stick. We need to be praise coated! God is the great divine connector! He is the great orchestrator! There is NOTHING too small to use your faith on! When you are struggle free, walking in praise, great deliverance and favor abound in your life and you are able to focus on the Father’s kingdom business and manifest His best into your life. When you’re free of that big elephant on your chest, when you’re free of worry, you are free to help others because you are coming from a position of strength. Don’t base your faith on other people’s doctrines and NEVER base your beliefs on other people’s experiences. Only base it on the word of God. This is YOUR strength! You don’t know what is between that person and the Lord. Don’t let your thought life touch it. Just focus on the word and go by God’s principles. Stand on His word, refuse to get off and you absolutely WILL receive your victory! 

Meditate on His promises! Meditation brings revelation (wisdom to apply to your life) which brings manifestation into your life! Praise and worship gets RESULTS! Praise God today my friend and release His power into your life! The victory is already yours! Speak it, believe it and you WILL receive it!

God Bless You,

In Christ, Sherry :-)
