⭕️One of the ministries of the Holy Spirit is to inject the spirit of praise.

Isaiah 61:1-3

⭕️The oil of joy will cause a man to praise God and when he praises God, the presence of God will come on the scene and beat down any opposition.

⭕️Whatever is making you sad to keep on complaining is the thing that has cut off God from you.

⭕️God’s judgement will soon be where there is murmuring.

⭕️No matter how genuine your complaints are, He does not expect you to complain. He expects you to look at the little things that are working in your life.

⭕️God expects a “thank you” from you.

⭕️Even if you sleep outside, He still expects you to thank Him for the gift of life.

⭕️Praise is too heavy for an angel to carry; God comes down Himself.

⭕️You can’t claim to have the Holy Spirit in you and joy can’t be shown.

Philippians 4:4, Ephesians 5:20

⭕️Joyless people can never flow with the Spirit.

Acts 16:25, Psalm 103:1, Habakkuk 3:17-18, 2 Chronicles 21:13, Psalm 84:10
