Understanding The Power Of Praise

Praise Warfare
 
Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a twoedged sword in their hand;

To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people; To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;

To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the Lord. Psalm 149:6–9
 
There is no situation in your life that will take more than praise to bow.

This is because praise brings God into any situation, and whatever cannot stop God cannot stop it.

Why? When you pray, God answers; but when you praise, He steps in, in all His glory, might, power and awesomeness.

If you want to secure God's company in the midst of any conflict, just release yourself to praise, and He will be there in person. When God comes on the spot, every devil gives way!

Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him.

As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God. Sing unto God, sing praises to his name... Psalm 68:1–2, 4 
 
Whatever will take God only calls for praise.

That is praise–warfare.

When praise is in place, His presence is compelled, for He inhabits the praises of His people (Psalm. 22:3).

In praise–warfare, you don't get emotionally excited. Rather, you look at the mountains before you and bring them down with praise.

Praise is a God–given weapon in your hands, with which to humiliate Satan. It is the price to pay in order to transfer any battle from your hand to God's hand.

When you enter into the realm of high praise, none of your enemies is safe any more.

When you switch over to praise–warfare, there will be a crashing down of every wall of Jericho in your life.

So the people shouted when the priests blew with the trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout,

that the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.  Joshua 6:20 
 
Praise–warfare disarms your enemies, such as sickness, poverty, lack, failure, etc.

When you give thanks and sing praises unto His name, Psalm 92:11 becomes a reality in your life:

Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies, and mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me.
 
Praise will grant you access into the hurt–free zone of life, because God's presence automatically dispels evil.

His eyes are too pure to behold evil, so evil can't be present where God is present. He dwells in the light that no man can approach unto (1Timothy.6:16).

This is what makes praise a superior weapon of warfare in the conflicts of life.

You remember, when the evil spirit came upon Saul, every time David began to play on the instrument, the evil spirit departed from him.

And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took an harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.
1 Samuel 16:23 
 
Evil spirits can't survive the presence of praise. The enemies can't survive a praise–filled atmosphere, because it is God's natural habitat.
