Today I want to share some often overlooked biblical practices that have helped me get victory in my life. I pray they will be a blessing to you as well.
These are 3 simple practices, but I believe if you apply them they will surely change your life!
1. Praise
Unlocking Joy and Strength Through Worship
Sometimes we get so overwhelmed by the battle we are facing and the circumstances we are dealing with that we forget the power of praise.
For me personally, there are many times that I don’t feel like praising God, but I know I need to lift my hands and sing praises anyway because the joy of the Lord is our strength (Nehemiah 8:10).
Singing praise to God causes us to enter His courts, to come before Him and invite Him into our situation.
There have been several times in my life where the spontaneous, supernatural joy from the Holy Spirit came upon me while praising God.
Once I was in a church service when the worship team was singing praises and the joy of the Lord hit me out of nowhere and I couldn’t stop smiling. His joy refreshed my soul and gave me strength to keep going during a pressing season of my life.
Praise is a weapon against the enemy and that is why we often don’t feel like doing it. Praise BREAKS discouragement and depression!
Psalm 149:6
Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, And a two-edged sword in their hand.
