THE MOMENT WHEN EVERYTHING CHANGES
“We cannot give God anything; for everything is already His, and all we have comes from Him. We can only give Him praise, thanks, and honor.”
Psalm 22:3 But You [are] holy, Enthroned in the praises of Israel.
Most of the powerful encounters with God that I remember over the years, have been in times of deep praise and worship of Him. The truth is, God is worthy of non-stop praise and adoration, whether we “feel” like giving it to Him or not. He looks and longs for those that will praise and worship Him through any and every kind of situation they are faced with! (John 4:23) The verse above makes an amazing promise: God will take His seat in our praises! As He rises to that throne of praise His enemies are scattered! (Psalm 68:1) Oppression, depression, sickness, weariness and… well friends when He sits on His throne that we offer Him with our praises, there is a shift in the atmosphere. The greatest miracles and healings I’ve ever witnessed have been in times of glorious praise and worship, by myself, as well as corporately!
Dear Reader, we don’t praise and worship the Lord to get a change of atmosphere but I am here to tell you, it is one of the most outstanding benefits! As the songwriters put it, “When You walk into the room, everything changes!” (Brian & Katie Torwalt) May we ever offer Him the throne of our praises with which the King delights to dwell! For He alone is worthy! HALLELUJAH!
Every blessing!
