PRAISING GOD

    How often do you spend time just praising Jesus for Who He is? Do the words, "Praise Jesus" or "Praise God" easily spill forth from your  lips? Do these words come from the overflow of your heart, or are they simply an acceptable expression that you are used to saying? How often do you praise the Lord in church? "Well," you may say, "Our church doesn't praise Him so openly." Perhaps, this is one of your problems. Someone else may ask, "Is this really an issue that I need to be concerned about?" Listen now to God’s Word as He speaks to your heart.

    Ps 9:1-I WILL PRAISE THEE, O LORD, WITH MY WHOLE HEART; I WILL SHEW FORTH ALL THY MARVELLOUS WORKS.
    Ps 54:6-I WILL PRAISE THY NAME, O LORD; FOR IT IS GOOD.
    Ps 66:17-I CRIED OUT (prayed) TO HIM WITH MY MOUTH; HIS PRAISE WAS ON MY TONGUE. (NIV).
    Is the praise of Jesus on your tongue when you pray? If not, are your prayers being hindered for this reason? Are you embarrassed to praise Him outwardly in church and in front of others? We see this is a command from God.
    Ps 69:34-LET THE HEAVEN AND EARTH PRAISE HIM, THE SEAS, AND EVERY THING THAT MOVETH THEREIN.
    Are you obeying ALL of His commands or just the ones you want to obey?
    The Scripture says, Ps 71:8-LET MY MOUTH BE FILLED WITH THY PRAISE AND WITH THY HONOUR ALL THE DAY.

    Ps 134:2-LIFT UP YOUR HANDS IN THE SANCTUARY AND BLESS THE LORD.

    Ps 148-1-5-PRAISE YE THE LORD. PRAISE YE THE LORD FROM THE HEAVENS: PRAISE HIM IN THE HEIGHTS. PRAISE YE HIM, ALL HIS ANGELS: PRAISE YE HIM, ALL HIS HOSTS. PRAISE YE HIM, SUN AND MOON: PRAISE HIM, ALL YE STARS OF LIGHT. PRAISE HIM, YE HEAVENS OF HEAVENS, AND YE WATERS THAT BE ABOVE THE HEAVENS. LET THEM PRAISE THE NAME OF THE LORD: FOR HE COMMANDED, AND THEY WERE CREATED.

    Ps 148:12-14-BOTH YOUNG MEN, AND MAIDENS; OLD MEN, AND CHILDREN: LET THEM PRAISE THE NAME OF THE LORD: FOR HIS NAME ALONE IS EXCELLENT; HIS GLORY IS ABOVE THE EARTH AND HEAVEN. HE ALSO EXALTETH THE HORN OF HIS PEOPLE, THE PRAISE OF ALL HIS SAINTS; EVEN OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL, A PEOPLE NEAR UNTO HIM. PRAISE YE THE LORD.

    Ps 150-1-6-PRAISE YE THE LORD. PRAISE GOD IN HIS SANCTUARY (do you praise God openly in your church?): PRAISE HIM IN THE FIRMAMENT OF HIS POWER. PRAISE HIM FOR HIS MIGHTY ACTS: PRAISE HIM ACCORDING TO HIS EXCELLENT GREATNESS. PRAISE HIM WITH THE SOUND OF THE TRUMPET: PRAISE HIM WITH THE PSALTERY AND HARP. PRAISE HIM WITH THE TIMBREL AND DANCE: PRAISE HIM WITH STRINGED INSTRUMENTS AND ORGANS. PRAISE HIM UPON THE LOUD CYMBALS: PRAISE HIM UPON THE HIGH SOUNDING CYMBALS. LET EVERY THING THAT HATH BREATH PRAISE THE LORD. PRAISE YE THE LORD.

    Lk 19:37-40-AND WHEN HE WAS COME NIGH, EVEN NOW AT THE DESCENT OF THE MOUNT OF OLIVES, THE WHOLE MULTITUDE OF THE DISCIPLES BEGAN TO REJOICE AND PRAISE GOD WITH A LOUD VOICE FOR ALL THE MIGHTY WORKS THAT THEY HAD SEEN; SAYING, BLESSED BE THE KING THAT COMETH IN THE NAME OF THE LORD: PEACE IN HEAVEN, AND GLORY IN THE HIGHEST. AND SOME OF THE PHARISEES FROM AMONG THE MULTITUDE SAID UNTO HIM, MASTER REBUKE THY DISCIPLES. (Which is your church: the one that is quiet, or the one that is praising Jesus?) Which are you? Jesus ANSWERED AND SAID UNTO THEM, I TELL YOU THAT, IF THESE SHOULD HOLD THEIR PEACE, THE STONES WOULD IMMEDIATELY CRY OUT.

    Do you have this kind of joy in the Lord? As you can see, we need to have praise in our hearts, in our mouths, and in our prayers. WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH ON HIM SHALL NOT BE ASHAMED-Ro 10:11.

    How often do you give thanks to God for what you have? Do you give thanks for everything you eat? Do you give God thanks every day, in good times and bad, for the trials and temptations that come upon you as well as for the blessings you have? Do you have a thankful heart toward God no matter what your situation is? Do you let God know it in prayer daily? Repentance, praise, and thanks, should be a part of your prayer life.
   As it is written, Phili 4:6-BUT IN EVERY THING BY PRAYER AND SUPPLICATION WITH THANKSGIVING LET YOUR REQUESTS BE MADE KNOWN UNTO GOD.

    Ps 136:1-3-O GIVE THANKS UNTO THE LORD; FOR HE IS GOOD: FOR HIS MERCY ENDURETH FOR EVER. O GIVE THANKS UNTO THE GOD OF GODS: FOR HIS MERCY ENDURETH FOR EVER. O GIVE THANKS TO THE LORD OF LORDS; FOR HIS MERCY ENDURETH FOR EVER.
   Do you give thanks during the times of your greatest distress? Would you pray with a voice of thanksgiving, if you were in the belly of a fish?
   Jonah did. As it is written, Jonah 2:1,2,9-THEN JONAH PRAYED UNTO THE LORD HIS GOD OUT OF THE FISH’S BELLY, AND SAID, I CRIED BY REASON OF MINE AFFLICTION UNTO THE LORD, AND HE HEARD ME; OUT OF THE BELLY OF HELL CRIED I, AND THOU HEARDEST MY VOICE. BUT I WILL SACRIFICE UNTO THEE WITH THE VOICE OF THANKSGIVING; I WILL PAY THAT THAT I HAVE VOWED.

    Pray unto the Lord with a voice of thanks in all circumstances. Paul said, Eph 1:15,16-I…CEASE NOT TO GIVE THANKS FOR YOU, MAKING MENTION OF YOU IN MY PRAYERS.
   Phili 1:3-I THANK MY GOD UPON EVERY REMEMBRANCE OF YOU.
   1 Thes 1:2-WE GIVE THANKS TO GOD ALWAYS FOR YOU ALL.
   Col 1:3-WE GIVE THANKS TO GOD AND THE FATHER OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.
   Acts 27:35-AND WHEN HE HAD THUS SPOKEN, HE TOOK BREAD, AND GAVE THANKS TO GOD IN PRESENCE OF THEM ALL.
   Do you give thanks for your bread and food in the presence of others? Are you embarrassed? Are you ungrateful? Is there joy and rejoicing in your prayers? For we are to 1 Thes 5:16-REJOICE EVERMORE.
   Be joyful always. Phili 1:4-ALWAYS IN EVERY PRAYER OF MINE FOR YOU All MAKING REQUEST WITH JOY.
   Do you make known your requests to God with joy? If you follow these guidelines from the Bible, your prayer life should blossom and grow.
