Yesterday was a hard day. The battle was raging and I got caught in the crossfire. Ever feel like that? When the bombs are going off all around you and the fierceness of the battle becomes so apparent that you don't quite know how to process all that is happening.
The Spirit calls me to Himself this morning to teach me another lesson about the importance of praise and worship.
Wisdom speaks. "Since the beginning of man's days upon the earth, the devil has targeted humans because you are made in the very image of your God. The war the devil has declared against God is being fought in this realm in an effort to destroy the love relationship you might otherwise have with your Beloved Creator."
His strategy is to infect us with doubt. The devil orchestrates circumstances that represent our trials to try to defeat us in our faith walk. He lines up agents of darkness to carry out evil assignments against us, all with the intention to get us to doubt; God's love, God's help and deliverance, even God's existence.
But we are not to be ignorant of his schemes and the Lord has a Heavenly strategy to combat such evil and restore Divine order and control to our lives.
The strategy is simple and anyone can use it if only we would remember. Heaven's strategy is simple; praise and worship is a weapon designed to defeat the evil one. Praise and worship poured out to our Holy God defies doubt. There can be no "doubt" while we are in the place of praise and worship even if we do not understand things at the moment.
Praise and worship of our God disarms the enemy because his whole effort is aimed at creating division between us and our Heavenly Father. Praise and worship demonstrates unity between us and the Lord that is demonstrated in no other way. There is faith in "praise" and trust in "worship" that the enemy cannot get past.
Praise and worship is an act of faith in the midst of an assault that will route the enemy and destroy his agenda over our lives. God moves through the faith of His people. The greatest demonstration of our faith is in our praise and worship of the One who is worthy even, and especially while in the thicket of the battle.
Each and every day I must remember to praise and worship Him. To God be all Glory and Honor and Praise and Worship!
The Spirit is calling. Can you hear Him?
