Praise the Lord

"And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the Lord , and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise the Lord ; for his mercy endureth for ever" (2 Chronicles 20:21 KJV). Praise God! Praise the Lord! Praising the Lord is powerful. When you lay your thoughts aside, begin to praise Him, call out His name, and cry out to Him, praise becomes intimate. You know He is in the midst of you, because by faith you praise Him. When the enemy comes in and surrounds you or temptation tries to grab hold of your mind and heart, believe and begin to praise the Lord. When you praise the Lord, you are no longer praising in the natural realm, your praise moves into the supernatural. The enemy runs from a child of God who begins to praise God in the mist of trouble. The enemy trembles at the sound of God's children praising and worshiping their wonderful Lord. When we praise Him with a whole heart, the Lord will set an ambush against the enemy.  "And when they began to sing and to praise, the Lord set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten" (VS:22). If trouble surrounds you, maybe the enemy is trying to take control, but just begin to praise the Lord right where you are at.  Watch the Lord do what He does best, that is to stand in the gap between you and the enemy. God bless you all.
