THE POWER OF PRAISE

Thursday April 29, 2010
II Chronicles 20: 20b-22
Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem. Believe in the LORD your GOD, so shall ye be established; believe His prophets, so shall ye prosper. And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the LORD, who should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say: "Praise the LORD; for His mercy endureth forever". And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set an ambush against the children of Ammon, Moab and Mount Seir, who were come against Judah; and they were smitten.
"Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem. Believe in the LORD your GOD." This is the foundation of victory over any enemy who tries to kill, steal and destroy you or your family. Believe that the LORD is Almighty and will save His people and bless His inheritance. He will govern them and lift them up forever. The LORD will establish you and the LORD will prosper you who believe in Him. The LORD will bring down the enemy and the avenger for His Holy Name sake. Praise the LORD; for His mercy endureth forever.
Notice, in the portion of Scripture, that the singers went out before the army to praise the LORD and sing of the "beauty of Holiness" and as they sang praise to GOD, the enemy attacked itself and were fighting against themselves and they defeated each other. That day, non of the Children of Judah and Jerusalem fell. The LORD defended His people and the enemy was smitten.
SING PRAISES TO THE LORD; FOR HIS MERCY ENDURETH FOREVER.
