Does praise really set you free?
What do you understand by praise?
Write now in the comments why praise is important to you, what do you know about praise? Put it in the comments, You can offer to GOD this offer that is, praise, it's a spiritual offer that HE always wants to receive from everyone who serves Him. The Bible says in Hebrews 13:15, "By Him therefore let us always offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that confess His name." To praise is to thank God for everything He does for us, for all His gifts.” You can praise GOD because HE is Mighty. Psalm 21:13 “Be exalted, O LORD, in Your strength; then we will sing and praise Your power. We will sing and praise Your power. A wonderful way is through music with lyrics that demonstrate your praise. Look, don't sing for the sake of singing, simply because you learned the lyrics, but make those lyrics your meditation when praising Him. Be aware of what you are singing. Read each text in meditation and you will find the real reason for the song. The Bible says in Psalm 33:1-3 “Rejoice in the LORD, ye righteous: for praise is good for the upright. Praise the LORD with the harp, sing His praises with the ten-stringed psaltery. Sing to Him a new song; play well and with joy. If you know how to play an instrument, do it with pleasure, be always renewing the praises, play and sing with joy, with great joy. If you're not a Levite, you're not at the altar, it doesn't matter. In the chair in your congregation, praise Him with great joy. It doesn't matter if you say you don't have a good voice, for the LORD you will be ascending to the Throne of Grace like sweet incense to His nostrils. GOD will be delighting in your praise that comes from a sincere heart through your lips, glory to GOD! Oh! Are you a Levite who is at the altar always praising the LORD? Hallelujah! Do it with all your heart. Don't just be a professional of sacred music, be truly a person who praises from the heart. Who plays this instrument with joy, for he knows whom he is praising. You are not singing to men, to people in the congregation, but to the Creator Himself. Of course, being an instrument of GOD you will take the congregation to a level of glory. They will feel grace as you minister praise and together with you they will praise the Almighty. Each musical note, each lyric of the song has to speak to you first and you will transmit it in a way that everyone will feel the reality of your praise and will be taken by that praise and will also praise filled with the HOLY SPIRIT that will flood them making the manifestation known to everyone leaving the altar. How do you prepare to worship at the altar? How do you prepare to worship in the congregation? Praise is the way to exalt and witness to the Living GOD, so have daily communion with Him, because if you wait only for the moment of worship, it won't flow at all. You can't be fooled and neither and especially fool GOD, fool the TRINITY, how? Can not! Have a lifestyle of praise, worship, daily communion so that in worship it is just the reflection of that life that already exists in your day to day. In Romans 11:36 “For from HIM, and through HIM, and to HIM, are all things; glory therefore to Him forever. Amen. How to know this and praise anyway? The Bible does not say which songs you should sing to praise the FATHER, but it makes clear the behavior of the worshiper, of the one who praises, which must be with joy and art, hallelujah! Praise with joy! Repeating Hebrews 13: 15 “By Him therefore let us always offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that confess His name”. Does praise free or not free? Say it in the comments and also why you think so. The basis is in Acts 16:25,26 which says: “At midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, while the prisoners were listening to them. Suddenly there was such a great earthquake that the foundations of the prison were shaken, and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone's fetters were loosed.” Do you think that what happened there in that prison, in that jail, was simply because they sang hymns? So people started saying that praise frees from struggles, from problems, from illnesses, from chains of problems, but is it really like that? Do not fool yourself! It happened precisely because of God's purpose for that moment, but because those men already lived in that lifestyle. They adored, praised God regardless of the situation they were in. We should not praise for selfish purposes, but for loving the GOD who is with you at all times and circumstances. Deliverances will come, blessings will be poured out by the fact that you are in constant communion with the FATHER, the SON and the HOLY SPIRIT. “By Him, therefore, let us always offer to God the sacrifice of praise, that is, the fruit of lips that confess His name” (Hebrews). Note that praise is the fruit or consequence and never the cause of any blessing. Isaiah 25:1 “O LORD, You are my God; I will exalt Thee, and I will praise Thy name; because you have done wonders.” Psalm 139:14 “I will praise Thee, for I am so wonderfully and wonderfully formed; wonderful are Your works, and my soul knows it very well.” Psalm 138:2 “I bow down to Your holy temple, and praise Your name for Your lovingkindness and Your faithfulness; for You have magnified Your name and Your Word above all.” Psalm 118:29 “Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; for His lovingkindness endures forever.” Psalm 59:16 “But I will sing of Your strength; in the morning I will joyfully praise your lovingkindness, because you have been my strength and refuge in the day of my trouble.” We can see from these and other passages that praise is always the fruit of lips that confess His name. Read Exodus 15:1-21 and understand the reason for true praise. You don't receive blessings or deliverances because you praise, it's our obligation to praise Him for everything He does, but the blessings you need will come to you through your prayers. Praise can free you and me from the selfishness of wanting to praise in order to receive something from God in return. You understand? Let's praise the Living GOD for what He does, or has already done in our lives, not simply because by praising I will receive something. Don't forget to worship GOD for who HE is, praise for what HE does and pray, intercede for your needs and the needs of others. Say it like this: Our praise is the fruit of God's love for me! Write below in the comments: Our praise is the fruit of God's love for me! Prayer Praised and exalted be Your name O FATHER! Thank you for the wonderful salvation in CHRIST JESUS, I praise you for the air I breathe, for the food, for the water, for the blue of the firmament, I praise you for my family, for my Brazil, for the children, teenagers, young people, seniors. I praise you for the doctors, for the street sweepers that when the category goes on strike we can see the lack of it in a city, we take the opportunity to ask for forgiveness because we often do not recognize this wonderful work so important to the community. We praise you for teachers and for all creatures we praise you for all things and therefore my lips confess your name. We know that you have much more to do for each of us, but we do not praise you to receive anything, but because you deserve to be praised, hallelujah! We praise the FATHER, SON and HOLY SPIRIT, amen!
The grace of the LORD JESUS CHRIST and the love of GOD and the communion of the HOLY SPIRIT be with you, amen. With love in Christ,
