Sunday morning in church, the Holy Spirit gave me a prophecy that started out "I
have Anointed your praise for war !"
That just keeps running through my spirit and my mind and I feel like I'm to send that Word out
again so here it is ! I believe our praise for The Most High God is one of (if not the ) the most powerful
weapons the LORD has given us.
In the prophecy the Holy Spirit said there were people who didn't have a clue and had no
means of defense ... but we were to use the weapon of praise... the tool of war ... to set these captives free. Act's 2:46
& 47(Amp) says "And day after day they regularly assembled in the temple with united purpose and in
their homes they broke bread [including the Lord's supper]. They partook of their food with gladness and simplicity
and generous hearts. Constantly praising (bold lettering mine) God
and being in favor and goodwill with all the people; and the Lord kept adding [to their number] daily those who were being
saved [from spiritual death].
Webster's Dictionary says praise is to prize; to express a favorable judgment of (commend); to
glorify by ascription of perfections; to value. Is it any wonder that the Lord said praise is a tool of war? When
we praise Him... we have our focus in the right place... in the throne room of the Almighty God ! Praise is a perfect
prayer, so in essence He is calling His people to prayer even more than ever ! Praise reminds us .. and speaks our faith
to the spirit world ... that God is in control... that He can handle anything... that He knows the perfect plan and how to
carry it out ! Praise is a prayer that keeps our heart (and whole body) in Peace .... it says "LORD I trust You !"
Praise tells the darkness that His Light is here and the darkness can't stand.
Praise tells sickness and infirmity that it has no power against the Stripes of Christ that healed
us.
Praise tells destruction that the Restorer has come to places of decay.
Praise tells the deceiver that Revelation is coming to peoples hearts and minds.
Praise tells the predators that The Shepherd is between them and the flock.
Praise tells death in EVERY area that the Life giver is in charge!
Praise annihilates fear and worry.
Praise opens a door to God's great Anointing to flow in us... and through us ... to lift burdens...
destroy yokes and set captives free. Because it's HIM... it's HIM .. it's HIM.... it's not us... it's HIM and
all HIS power... all HIS ability..... all HIS plan !! The LORD be glorified !
He has Anointed our praise for war ..... go on the offensive !! God Bless you!
