PRAISE
INTRODUCTION.
Praise is one of the most important subjects in the Bible, and is
one of the Truths of this present day revival.
It is important because praise will break the appointment with
death for it says in Psa. 102:18-20 ... "This shall be written for
the generation to come..and the people that shall be created shall
praise the Lord .. from heaven did the Lord behold the earth .. to
loose those appointed unto death." It is appointed unto man once
to die, Heb. 9:27 - this is the last enemy. No wonder praise is so
important, for only the praise from a praising people will break
this appointment. In order to enter into this last great truth of
"Resurrection Life", we must overcome the last enemy which is
DEATH. The weapon to overcome this enemy is praise. Psa. 149:6.
Psa. 47:7 says we are to sing praises WITH UNDERSTANDING. In other
words, we are to know WHY we praise the Lord, God does not want us
to be ignorant in our understanding on the subject of Praise.
WHY WE PRAISE THE LORD:
1. BECAUSE GOD COMMANDS US TO. See Psa. 117:1. Paul quotes this
verse in Rom. 15:11. Don't allow feelings to dictate - it's
the Word we must obey. John 14:21 says, "He that hath My
commandments and keepeth them, he it is that loveth Me."
2. BECAUSE OF WHO HE IS (and not necessarily what we can get out
of Him). He is the King of Kings. See Psa. 47:6-7.
3 IT IS PLEASANT and comely, or "it is excellent speech",
"becoming", " appropriate". Read Psa. 147:1.
The Bride of Christ is described as comely. Song of Sol. 2:14
Praise will beautify the Bride.
4. IT GLORIFIES GOD. See Psa. 5:23. This should be the desire of
all God's people to glorify Him.
5. BECAUSE OF ALL HIS BENEFITS - Salvation, healing etc. See
Psa. 103:2-5.
6. FOR HIS GOODNESS. He satisfies the hungry soul.
See Psa. 107:8-9.
7. FOR HIS MIGHTY ACTS. See Psa. 150:2.
8. BECAUSE IT FULFILS PROPHECY. Prophesied in Psa. 22:22 and
fulfilled in Heb. 2:12 ... "In the midst of the church will I
(Jesus) sing praise unto thee (God)."
The only way Jesus can sing in the midst of the church is to
use our lips. We must then open our mouths and praise God in
fulfillment of this prophecy, if we don't - God will find a
people who will. He is able to make even the stones praise
Him. Luke 19:40
WE ARE TO PRAISE THE LORD:
1. At All TIMES .... His praise shall continually be in my
mouth. See Psa. 34:1. During times of testing, pressure,
temptations, storms, calamities, financial distress, let His
praise be heard.
2. WHEN DISCOURAGED. See Psa. 42:11..."Why are you cast down, 0
my inner self? And why should you moan over me and be
disquieted within me? Hope in God and wait expectantly for
Him; for I shall yet praise Him Who is the help of my
countenance and my God." Amp.
3. ALL DAY OUR MOUTH IS TO BE FILLED WITH PRAISE. Psa. 71:8 says
"My mouth shall be filled with your praise and your honour
all day." Amp.
4. FROM THE RISING OF THE SUN till the going down of the same.
Psa. 113:3. "From the rising of the sun to the going down of
it, and from east to west the name of the Lord is to be
praised." Amp.
5. THEY BELIEVED HIS WORD ... then sang His Praise.
Psa. 106:12 .. "Then Israel believed His words - trusting in,
relying on them; they sang His praise." Amp.
6. AT THE RECEIVING OF HIS STATUTES (Word). Psa. 119:171. Many
times the Word is as a knife and cuts deep, and crosses our
will at other times, but we are still to praise Him for His
statutes regardless. This eliminates a rebellious spirit
against his Word.
7. IN EVERYTHING GIVE THANKS. 1 Thess. 5:18 - Because we know
that all things work together for good.
8. GIVING THANKS ALWAYS. Eph. 5:20 says..."At all times and for
everything giving thanks in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ
to God the Father."
WHO IS TO PRAISE THE LORD:
1. ALL PEOPLE,, young men, maidens, old men and children. See
Psa. 148:11-12.
2. EVERYTHING THAT HATH BREATH. Psa. 150:6 says "Let everything
that has breath and every breath of life praise the Lord."
Amp.
3. ALL FLESH. See Psa. 145;21..."My mouth shall speak the praise
of the Lord, and let all flesh bless - affectionately and
gratefully praise His holy name for ever and ever." Amp.
WHERE ARE WE TO PRAISE THE LORD:
1. IN THE CONGREGATION among much people. Psa. 35:18 says... "I
will give You thanks in the great assembly: I will praise You
among a mighty throng." Psa. 109:30... "I will give great
praise and thanks to the Lord with my mouth, yes, and I will
praise Him among the multitude." Amp.
2. AMONG THE NATIONS. See Psa. 57:9. Despite the unrest, rising
up of nation against nation, the ungodly rulers and the
lawlessness throughout the nations of the world, we are still
to praise Him.
3. BEFORE HIS PRESENCE, in His gates and courts. Read Psa. 100.
4. IN THE MIDST OF THE CHURCH. Heb. 2:12..."l will declare Your
(the Father's) name to My brethren, in the midst of the
(worshipping) congregation...." Amp.
