MID WEEK PROPHETIC SERVICE

FROM GREAT GRACE TABERNACLE,

CHILILABOMBWE, ZAMBIA.

ENGAGING THE KEY OF PRAISE IN PROVOKING SUDDEN RESTORATION PACKAGES

PRAISE MOVES GOD (Psalm 114:1-8)

️To praise is to express adoration or approval.

️We praise the Lord for His traits, His works, and His character. 

️Our spirit becomes more pliable, open, and receptive to receiving to God’s Holy Spirit.

‘Prayer moves mountain, but praise moves God.’

When God is full of praise, He moves into action for to judge and revenge you of your enemies.

When you engage God through praise, you are appealing to a sensitive part of His nature.

God will move and when He moves, mountains flee on their own accord and hills skip like little lambs.

THE FOCUS OF OUR PRAISE:

• FOR THE HELP SO FAR RECEIVED FROM GOD (1Samuel 7:12; 1Chronicles 15:26)
  Anytime you recognize and appreciate God for His help, it multiplies
• FOR FRUSTRATING THE EXPECTATIONS OF THE WICKED (Lamentations 3:37; Isaiah 44:25; Job 5:12; Acts 12:11)
  Don’t be worried about what they have said, the most important thing is ‘Who said it?’
  Don’t be worried about those that have gathered against you, the most important thing is ‘Who gathered them?’
  Our destiny is not tied to the things of the earth, so no man can predict our future
• FOR PREVENTING US FROM BEING CONSUMED (Lamentations 3:22-23; Malachi 3:6)

If not for God, the enemy would have swallowed us up

WHY DO WE PRAISE?

• PRAISE IS A SPIRITUAL CLIMATE-CHANGER (Psalm 114:1-2; 2Chronicles 5:13-14)
  Praise introduces around a person, the atmosphere of God’s Presence
  If you don’t like the climate around your life, increase your praise and worship level
• PRAISE OPENS YOU UP TO THE WILL AND MIND OF GOD FOR YOUR LIFE (2 Kings 3:15; 1Thessalonians 5:18; Acts 13:2; Isaiah 30:29-30)
  A worshipper is guaranteed more access to the will and mind of God than an ungrateful person
• PRAISE IS A SPIRITUAL LIFTER OF PEOPLE; PRAISE IS A SPIRITUAL LEVEL CHANGER (Habakkuk 3:18-19; 1Samuel 16:18)
  If your level has not changed yet, just hold on to your praise
• PRAISE IS A SPIRITUAL OBSTACLE CRUSHER (Joshua 6:20-21; Psalm 114:1-8; Acts 16:25-26)
  Obstacles are crushed and collapsed by the power of praise
• PRAISE IMPARTS THE CLIMATE OF ACCEPTANCE AND FAVOUR (1Samuel 16:21; Acts 2:47).

• PRAISE IS PATHWAY TO ROYALTY AND AUTHORITY IN THE KINGDOM (Genesis 49:8-10; 1Samuel 16:17-23)
  The tribe of praise is the tribe of kings
• PRAISE ACTIVATES THE SUPPLY SYSTEM OF GOD (Psalm 67:5-7; John 6:11-13)
  You confront scarcity and shortage with praise

PRAISE GIVES GOD PLEASURE (Psalm 149:3-4, Revelation 4:11)

I tell you, the pleasure a king gets from being eulogized is way more than the pleasure of food and drink.

Think of God as King of kings (that’s who He is) and then go praising and eulogizing Him; you know the rest of the story.

He is pleased with your worship and your praise.

When God is filled to the overflow with praises coming from you, your enemies are in trouble.

He will arise and your enemies will be scattered (Psalm 68:1)

PRAISE IS GOD’S UTMOST

️UTMOST means most extreme; greatest.

Another reason why praise is so potent in spiritual warfare is because it is God’s utmost in life.

The reason for creation is such that the creation will give the creator pleasure.

Nothing compares to serving God.

Working for God is good, but giving Him praise is the best.

Praying is great, but praising God is superior and more blessed.

All other things that you do for God are good, but nothing compares to kneeling before Him in worship, interacting with His holiness, blessing Him for who He really is.

Work all you can for God, but give more of your time in personal intimacy with Him, loving, praising and worshipping Him all the more. 

You will see Him bring your desires upon your enemies.

EXAMPLES

• King Jehoshaphat of Judah when He was faced with four enemy nations (2 Chronicles 20:1-30)
• Paul and Silas in the New Testament employing the same strategy when they were locked up in jail in Philippi (Acts 16:25-34)

God came down by Himself, the enemies of God were routed out completely.

God came down by Himself, earthquake attended to Him and the doors to the jail flung open, the locks broken in their own accord.

That’s what praise can do and will do for you even today.

God has not changed and His way of doing battles has not also changed (Malachi 3:6)

When you do what people in Bible days did, you will get the same result they got (1 Corinthians. 10:11)
