We engage the weapon of praise in order to secure the intervention of God on our lives. 2 Chronicles 20:17,21-24. The Lord sent ambushment against the children of Amon. When you praise, God comes Himself, Psalm 22:3. It is in the midst of praise that God demonstrates His al mightiness, Zechariah 3:17.
Isaiah 30:29,30, God will come down with His indignation when we praise Him. God will stop every barrier hindering fulfilment of prophecy in our lives through praise. Praise is not entertaining oneself or God, it is engaging spiritual wisdoms, Psalm 149:3-8, as they are praising, they are fighting in the spirit. There are things that are written that must be executed, which only happens during praise. In the midst of praise, let’s understand that we are in a spiritual battle. So, we need to focus on the important things.
When we are praising God, we are not wasting time. We are engaging spiritual wisdom.
You must have a conscious conviction concerning the word we receive from God. There is a grace for steadfastness that comes with the prophetic word.
How does praise facilitate fulfilment of prophecy. Praise brings fresh oil, Psalm 92:1,2,10. As we are praising him, we are anointed with fresh oil and fresh oils brings about fulfilment of prophecy, Isaiah 45:1-3
Through praise, we subdue our enemies. Matthew 21:10,16; Psalm 8:2. When we are praising God, we are silencing our enemies. When we are praising God, we should understanding that we are bringing the enemy into silence.
Anointing Service
The anointing oil is the means that the Holy Ghost manifests. It is the release of the Holy Spirit in a dimension.
The Holy Spirit is the oil of joy, Isaiah 61:3; Psalm 45:6-8; Acts 2:15, He brings us into the realm of intoxicating joy. 1 Peter 1:8, this sort of joy is unconditional. When this spirit of joy comes on us, it brings us into uncontrollable laughter, Psalm 2:1-4.
This sort of joy doesn’t change due to circumstances, Acts 27:25
Kee your joy alive
What is in joy?
Strength. When joy is present, joy is present.
Access to revelation, Isaiah 12:3.
Freedom from depression., Isaiah 60:1-3, when joy comes, depression departs.
Altar call
Until you are fully in Christ, you cannot be free from the crisis of life. You want God to point to you and say you are His child.
If you have missed it at some point and become distant from God so that you can recommit and rededicate your life to God, this call is also for you.
If this is your situation, you need to pray this prayer.
Lord Jesus, I come to you today. I am a sinner. I know you died for me and rose the third day. I ask you to forgive me of my sins. I accept your finished work on the cross. I renounce the devil and his works. I will follow only you and never turn back, from today and forever. Thank you for saving me.
Jesus is Lord!
