High Praises of God

High Praises of God

We are created to worship God. God is searching for true worshippers, those who will worship Him in spirit and in truth. God is not searching for good singing voices. He is seeking true worshippers. Everyone can sing to God. You just need a worshipful heart to sing to God. In the secret place, everyone can open their mouth and sing to God. We can sing our prayers to God. We can even sing in the spirit, sing a new tongue, sing a new song, and sing our prophecies and declarations to God.

We pray, “Thy kingdom come, thy will be down on earth, as it is in heaven.” In heaven, there is only victory. There is no lack, no sickness and no misery. How can we appropriate heavenly victory to earth? We can imitate what they do in heaven. The four living creatures sing for all eternity, “Holy, holy, Lord God almighty, who was, who is and who is to come.” We can join the twenty-four elders and cry, “You are worthy, O God, to receive glory and honor and power. For you created all things, and by your will they exist and were created.” Psalm 119:164 tells us to praise God seven times a day. Some of us worry of what people think of our voices and do not even praise God one time a day! In our intimate fellowships with God, we can all compose new songs unto God. It does not matter if it is off key or not. God is very pleased when you worship Him in spirit and in truth. Truth means without hypocrisy. We are not putting on a show. There is no audience. We are just offering our vocal chords to God in spirit and in truth.

There is a time to pray and there is also a time to sing. That is why Paul said on one hand, he prays in understanding and in tongues. On the other hand, he sings in understanding and in tongues. New anointing and breakthrough will come when we add music to our prayers, declarations or prophecies. When we sing our prophecies out, a sharp two-edged sword is coming forth from our mouth and we are actually binding our enemies with chains and irons. God is executing vengeance and judgment on our enemies as the high praises of God are arising from our midst! (Psalm 149:6)

Some warfare comes simply because of the mouth of the dragon. The devil either accuses or speaks lies. When the mouth of the dragon is sealed, the warfare will cease. Jesus has ordained strength even in the mouth of babes and nursing infants. As our mouth sing and worship God, our enemies are being silenced, one after another. God does want to end certain warfare. He is waiting on us to sing. When we sing, our enemies will flee. When we sing, angels will encamp around us and chase after our enemies. That is how we can overcome the accuser. We overcame him by singing “the word of our testimony” out. Not only we declare victory, but also we can sing our victory out. We can sing “the blood of Jesus” and sing aloud the defeat of our enemies. (Revelation 12:10)

Sometimes God did not move until we sing. As they BEGAN to sing and to praise, the Lord set ambushes against Jehoshaphat’s enemies. When they continued to sing, their enemies even helped to destroy each other. ( 2 Chronicles 20:21-23) How about the time when the priests blew the trumpets and they all shout with a great shout? The wall of Jericho fell down flat. (Joshua 6) What if you are thrown to prison unjustly? Learn from Paul and Silas, sing praises and make music to God. As we do this, our chains will be broken and bondage will be loosened.

Let us make a joyful shout to the Lord. Let us offer the sacrifice of praise to Him. Praise is a sacrifice because some feel embarrassed to sing. Others already felt depressed because of the adverse circumstance. But, let us just lay aside our feelings and offer this one sacrifice to God. When we sing, God will arise and our enemies will all scatter. (Psalm 68:1) The wicked will perish from the presence of God. When we sing, God’s arrow will shoot at our enemies and they will be suddenly wounded. (Psalm 64:7)

Friends, you will soon discover the power of the high praises of God. The dead does not praise the Lord. We are alive. As we worship Him, you will be strengthened, saved, healed and delivered. He is our strong tower, our refuge and our hope. Let us praise Him yet more and more. This honor has all His saints.

It is time to enter into High Praise, and to enter into deep Worship. You cannot have deep worship without first entering into High Praise; you must follow the steps leading to worship, first thanksgiving, then is praise, and then it is worship, praise more leads to worship more, high praise leads to deep worship, praise prepares the way for worship. –(Psa. 100, Psa. 149:6, Heb. 13:15, Psa. 42:1,7)

First and foremost, we need to establish the life of praise and worship in our personal prayer life, and then to establish the life of praise and worship in our heart and in our workplace. The worship from our heart in the workplace leads to marketplace revival, we need to establish the life of praise and worship among the believers, and in the home church, before we establish the life of praise and worship in the congregational corporate worship service. You cannot have the meaning of the life of praise and worship on Sundays without first having the life of praise and worship throughout the week. –(Phil. 4:6-7,Col. 3:22-24, Col. 3:16-17)

Every believer is to have praise and worship for the edification of the congregation, we are to speak to one another, the one another in our everyday life and in the home church before the congregation corporate service, we are speaking to one another, first love one another, and the one another’s are apply best in the church in the home, more then the congregation, then we are to speak to one another in our everyday life, in our fellowship with other believers and the fellowship in the home church, we are to speak psalms, hymns, spiritual songs singing meaning praise and worship and making melody in our heart to the Lord, what the Lord wants more is heart worship, you cannot worship without the heart, this is all real through the word of Christ in us, as we fill our hearts and our lives with the Word, and the Word richly in all wisdom, believers are to have all wisdom from God, teaching, we are to teach one another, and admonishing one another, and we are to praise and worship in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, and singing, praising, and worshiping with grace in our hearts, we need grace to worship, we need grace in our heart to worship, and we need heart worship to worship. –(1 Cor. 14:26, Eph. 5:19-20, Col. 3:16-17)

After we lay the foundation toward High Praise and toward Deep Worship, let us now come into the pathway of High Praise. How do we have High Praise, and how to we apply High Praise. –(Psa. 149:6)

The Path to High Praise:

1. The Seven Praises of the Lord.
2. Prophetic Praise.
3. Prophecy.
4. Revelation.
5. The sacrifice of praise
6. Intercession
7. Praises the Lord for hours, praise through, just like prayer through.
8. Hope.

As you enter into High Praise, High Praise will prepare the way for deep worship. How do you have deep worship, and how do we apply deep worship? –(Psa. 42:1 –2,7,5,11,3-4,8)

The Path to Deep Worship:

1. High Praise.
2. Praise through.
3. Prayer Through
4. The peace of the Lord.

Furthermore, as you enter into High Praise you will go from High Praise to deep worship. The More High Praise, the more Deep Worship will come, you cannot have deep worship without High Praise. –(Psa. 42)
