🏆Understanding the PULL behind the Praise is essential In ministry!
As I sit here, reflecting on my journey, I'm reminded of the countless times God has shown up for me. Many of us can sit in ministry, but don't engage in praise because we don't grasp the depth of it
Personally, if you only knew my story... The falls, the recoveries, the near-death experiences, the cycles of life... God's kept my family, taken care of my mother, and brought me through it all. That's the PULL behind my praise!
All throughout the Bible, there are miracles, signs, wonders, and manifestations because of believers' praise:
- Joshua 6:20 - The walls of Jericho fell after the Israelites shouted and praised God*
When we praise God with faith and obedience, He can bring down the walls that's holding us back! The Israelites were stuck, but their praise unleashed God's power and brought victory.
- 2 Chronicles 20:22 - Jehoshaphat's army praised God, and He defeated their enemies*
God's power is released when we praise Him in the midst of impossible situations. Jehoshaphat's army was outnumbered, but their praise turned the tide and brought deliverance.
- Psalm 22:3 - God is enthroned on the praises of His people*
When we praise God, He's glorified and exalted. Our praise acknowledges His power and authority over our lives.
- Isaiah 61:3 - ...to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair.*
When we're feeling heavy, worn down, or despairing, we can put on the garment of praise! It's a choice to shift our focus from our struggles to God's goodness.
- Acts 2: 14 - The disciples praised God, and the Holy Spirit was poured out*
Praise prepares our hearts to receive from God. The disciples' praise created an atmosphere for the Holy Spirit to come and empower them for ministry.
What's the PULL behind your praise?
