PRAISE

Joy is one of the first fruits of the Spirit of God. Choosing JOY is essential to remain “in Him.” Our Father desires that His kids experience JOY which is ever in our midst. As our Father promised, He is faithful to never depart from us. His JOY is there for our choosing even in difficult times. JOY is that fruit that never lets us go. It just hangs onto us and waits to be chosen. JOY is a free gift that increases our mental health and our physical well being. Sometimes the ever present JOY inside of us gets buried under doubt and fear. God gave us the freedom to choose Him always. We are exhorted by Scripture to cling to our HOPE in HIM and to His promises. Maybe Paul did struggle a bit before he chose to sing while in prison. Maybe he had to dig up a root of bitterness towards his jailers and confess so that JOY could spring him loose! Yes, in times of trouble, we are wise to seek the Lord with all our strength. We also must admit when we are struggling and enroll the deliverance prayers of another so that we can once again taste the juicy fruit of JOY once again. We are forever covered by His blood and with authority we overcome through prayer by canceling Satan’s power and stepping into the power of the Holy Spirit, who never leaves us. We must choose to FIGHT for JOY.

Rejoice always! A good choice! Our divine deliverance from the prince of the air heals our mindset. Death lost its sting and we delight in victory, fully recovered by a FAITH that expects good. We stand on the substance, the solid ground, the very certain territory of His promises.

His goodness chased me, so I stopped and let His goodness overtake me. Wisdom allows God to have His way.

Our rescued reality is that He lives in us! Our God is greater than any plot, scheme, or twisted trick of the enemy. We laugh at symptoms, as we deny the scary diagnosis! We choose to silence all doubt with our loud praises. We gladly rise above our circumstance and choose JOY. The unseen realm of our steadfast and faithful Father is always at work, protecting us, and providing for all our needs. We are NOT moved by what we see or feel. We BELIEVE and do NOT doubt. We have the mind of Christ and there is no room for pity or complaint. We PROCLAIM our healing and wait on God and trust His Word and our perfect outcome. We remain in covenant with God Almighty, to BELIEVE in His Promises. His living and active Word prevails. We take hold of our contract with Christ by FAITH and PRAISE HIM loudly.

Oh Lord, my God, when I, in awesome wonder, consider all the worlds Thy hands have made. I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder, Thy power throughout the universe displayed. Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee – How great Thou art, how great Thou art. And when I think that God, His Son NOT SPARING — sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in. That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing. He bled and died to take away my sin. Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee. How great Thou art, how great Thou art. When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation–and take me home, what joy shall fill my heart. ❤️ Then I shall bow, in humble adoration, and then proclaim, my God, how great Thou art. Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee, how great Thou art, how great Thou art.

“Before Daybreak with Christ” A favored sermon by CH Spurgeon. “All tongues were fluent. There was no need to exaggerate. It was a heavenly day. Flocks of people lept and rejoiced on their roof tops, shouting praises to God. After His sermon inside the Synagogue, Jesus held an inquiry meeting in the street. No assembly room could accommodate the growing throng. Jesus captivated their hearts as He said, “Look to Me,” and I will give you rest, healing, and eternal life. Crowds of persons pressed into Him, confessing what the Lord had done. One might be content to die after being a partaker to such a transforming moment in time. Our own extraordinary second is kept alive with His words echoing through us and out into all our surrounding villages. The power of Jesus speaking into the hearts of man still occurs as the Holy Spirit interprets a sermon in a language that seems to know us. Jesus shunned the honor of man and sought fresh fields to sow and seeds to reap. ❤️

Our Father is able to see you and know your longings before you speak. Elohim, our Father hears your silent laments, praise Adonai. The Joy of our Lord does not arrive according to our calendar. Do not expect Him to show up on a red carpet, or in the perfect picture posted. His Joy sneaks in, while we are in the midst of the mundane. There He is as you pour a cup of coffee. As you watch the sun rise or set outside an ordinary window, He reveals Himself. Do not dismiss His joy away with the selfish thought “I’m just not ready or in the mood .” When Joy interrupts a pity party, choose to join His delight “in you”. Your body is the house the Holy Spirit. Hosting such a distinguished guest, we should expect His holy Presence to light up any dark place. Joy does not care about your messy home. He lives in it with you. Joy slithers through the cracks of our imperfect life, and He invades us with glimpses of glory. Be ready to welcome Joy at this very moment. Embrace the everlasting Joy. Invite Jesus in and allow the Holy Spirit to transform your countenance. In this very moment, know that Joy chose you ❤️ you are His delight. AMEN

Shine Bright His Light and sparkle on purpose! Sing Nothing Greater! We’ve seen many places and many faces we’ve come to know. Times we’ve celebrated, sweet drink we’ve tasted, but times come and go. But there was a TREASURE POURED without MEASURE over the EARTH. A LIGHT that’s so BRIGHT it outshines the brightest lights of the world. NO GREATER FRIEND I know, no greater peace I know! No greater HOPE I know, no greater JOY I know. I could search high and low, and everywhere I go, there is No greater LOVE I know. My great INSPIRATION, HEART’S MOTIVATION, still comes from YOU. No one more FORGIVING, no one more HEALING, no one more TRUE. Your LOVE is a TREASURE, POURED out without MEASURE, over all the earth! A LIGHT that’s so BRIGHT it outshines the brightest lights of the world. No greater FRIEND I know, no greater PEACE I know. No greater HOPE I know, no greater JOY I know. No greater RIVER FLOWS, than You JESUS! With all my heart, soul, mind and strength I LIFT JESUS UP 💜

A theme day of praise! Why? Because as we choose to praise God, we set our victory in motion. The PURE, AUTHENTIC JOY of our LORD JESUS repels all dark forces. We choose this DAY to SERVE the KINGDOM OF GOD with our thoughts. Lyrics of LOVE stream through our lips all day long. We intentionally keep our focus on praise and we set our miracles in motion. Be the triumphal testimony today through praise. Our deliverance comes through the praise that overflows from our hearts and pours from our lips. Just like Paul in prison, we sing praise and angels crush the iron gates of fear. Obediently with joy we agree with the Word of God. Psalm 34:1 “The praise of God is in my mouth.” We choose to praise God instead of worry. We entertain angels NOT the spirit of doubt. All grumbling about our situations, or symptoms cease! We prefer to rejoice and bring pleasure to God with glorious words of praise. Oh our God is worthy of our worship. 🎵 Praise changes hearts.

“What is God’s will?” He told us plainly — “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” For the Royal Audience of the One who gave me new life. I will sing unto the Lord as long as I live. I will sing praise to my God while I occupy this wonderfully made body. I shall sing of Your deliverance, Your victory over death, Your tender mercies, Your lavish grace. Yes, I shall joyfully sing of Your lovingkindness as You cover me with Your favor and protection each morning. You remain faithful during my times of trouble. In the shadow of Your wings I shout with gratitude for Your constant provision. You are my strength and my shield. My heart trusts in You and rejoices for the new song You gave me. Thank You Lord for Your compassion is endless. To the name above every name, Jesus I sing blessings, glory, honor, power, wisdom, thanksgiving, and might, be unto You for ever and ever. Amen. Personalized Psalm 104:33; 59:16; 63:7 Revelation 7:12

“Majestic Sweetness sits Enthroned” Written by Dr Samuel Stennet. ❤️ “This is my Father’s World” written by a popular music loving preacher in New York. Dr. Babcock and Fanny Crosby penned “Saved by Grace.” The old English expression Worth Shipe —a word that denotes a memorable utterance etched monumentally and forever upon a redeemed creature, by His Creator, and his uncontrolled response towards the object of superlative worth or great value. Another theological definition of worship is a willing act, whereby a person’s will, intellect and emotions gratefully respond to the will of God in the redemptive work of Jesus Christ. As the Holy Spirit illumines the worth of his heart to God the Father, singing praise emerges. ❤️

The room grew still as she made her way to Jesus. She stumbles through the tears that made her blind. She felt such pain, some spoke in anger. Heard folks whisper, there’s no place here for her kind. Still on she came through the shame that flushed her face. Until at last, she knelt before His feet. And though she spoke no words, everything she said was heard. As she poured her love for the Master, from her box of alabaster. So I’ve come to pour my praise on Him. Like oil from Mary’s alabaster box. So don’t be angry if I wash His feet with my tears — and I dry them with my hair. ‘Cause you weren’t there –the night He found me. You did not feel what I felt. When He wrapped His love all around me — and you don’t know the cost, not of this oil —in my alabaster box ❤️ I can’t forget the way life used to be. Cause I was a prisoner to the sin that had me bound until the day when Jesus came to me, and healed my soul with the wonder of His touch. So now I’m giving back to Him all the praise He’s worthy of.

Old Hymns Tune into a wider range, a deeper meaning of the songs you sing. Sing the Psalms.

“Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: REJOICE! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near! Do not be anxious about anything, but is every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving (not grumbling), present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard you hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally brothers and sisters, whatever is true, noble, right, pure, lovely or admirable, if anything is excellent or praiseworthy —THINK about such things.” Philippians chapter 4 — our FATHER even tells us what to THINK. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from GOD, or remember that which HE has already done in you, put your FAITH in the FATHER and PRACTICE His command to capture every thought and THINK of what is praiseworthy in this very moment.

Father we thank You for shedding light on the sin of fear, doubt, and grumbling and complaining. We draw close to You Father and we trust You to complete the work You began in us. AMEN – REMEMBER: Whenever, or IF our Cry of FAITH wavers, we lose the legal ground of wholeness in Christ as we incited and entertained doubt and fear. WE CHOOSE to renounce the spirit of doubt, we STOP CONFESSING any symptoms and purpose and choose to confess FAITH in Gods finished work on the cross. “MY God is FAITHFUL and His Word NEVER returns VOID. By the BLOOD of the Lamb, zero darkness mixes with the LIGHT that streams through me. All foul spirits have been bound together and have been evicted. My healing is sealed by the blood of the Jesus and the word of my testimony. Amen

BELOW are TESTIMONIALS of OVERCOMERS “O Lord, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth! Your glory is higher than the heavens. You have taught children and infants to tell of your strength, silencing your enemies and all who oppose you. When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers— the moon and the stars you set in place…” Psalm 8 “The one who is victorious I will make a pillar in the temple of my God. Never again will they leave it. I will write on them the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from my God; and I will also write on them my new name.” Revelation 3:12 “They triumphed over him (Satan) by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.” Revelation 12:11

Ask God. . . to REMIND you of the time when He healed, renewed and restored you. Ask God Almighty to remind you of His favorite song or Psalm so that you may sing it to Him. Ask Your Father how you can bring Him the most pleasure today?
