Shout
unto God...and again Shout
Here
is what happens
when we Shout unto God...
The
truth
about praising God is know by very few of us. The truth is
when we are having trouble in our lives, we can have Jesus
deliver us.
Jesus
loves us so much that He gave us the authority over the situation.
He
gave us the power to tear down spiritual attacks of all types.
And He did this by telling us to Praise Him.
We
can have all the negative feelings that we need to let go
of us. Why do I say let go? Because much of the negative feelings
we have in our lives come because we are under a spirtual
attack.
I
realize that this is a "deeper" kind of teaching, but it is
being given to you so that you are better equipped should
these times come.
Here
is the Teaching...
When
we Praise God, it tears down spiritual strongholds.
When
the enemy of our souls attacks us in these spiritual attacks
that we feel bad during, WE CAN FIGHT BACK.
We
can PRAISE JESUS
When
we praise the Lord Jesus, Jesus enters into our praises as
we sing and say them.
He
then breaks off the spiritual stonghold of anger, sadness,
depression, frustration, stress or anything else attacking
us. Anything that is trying to hold us down, and is harming
us spiritually. Jesus will break down it's strong hold on
us.
And
we will start to feel better. Sometimes little by little.
But God will give us the victory over the negative feelings.
God
ahead and try it.
You'll
see
And
don't forget to thank Jesus.
Here
is a great place to start...
Psalms 148
(1) Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD from the heavens! Praise
Him from the skies!
(2) Praise Him, all His angels! Praise Him, all the armies
of heaven!
(3) Praise Him, sun and moon! Praise Him, all you twinkling
stars!
(4) Praise Him, skies above! Praise Him, vapors high above
the clouds!
(5) Let every created thing give praise to the LORD, for He
issued His command, and they came into being.
(6) He set them in place forever and ever. His decree will
never be revoked.
(7) Praise the LORD from the earth, you creatures of the ocean
depths,
(8) fire and hail, snow and clouds, wind and weather that
obey Him,
(9) mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars,
(10) wild animals and all livestock, small scurrying animals
and birds,
(11) kings of the earth and all people, rulers and judges
of the earth,
(12) young men and young women, old men and children.
(13) Let them all praise the name of the LORD. For His name
is very great; His glory towers over the earth and heaven!
(14) He has made His people strong, honoring His faithful
ones—the people of Israel who are close to Him. Praise the
LORD!
