Psalm 67:5,6
Let the people praise Thee, O GOD; let all the people praise Thee. Then shall the earth yield her increase; and GOD, even our own GOD, shall bless us. GOD shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear Him.
THE POWER OF PRAISE OPENS DOORS
Yesterday, we looked at the power of praise of GOD to open the prison doors, undo chains and set captives free. We also saw that praise changed the atmosphere and brought conversion to souls. The faithful praised GOD and the darkness was defeated.
Today, we will look at the first of the doors which open when there is praise. The first door is the door of Blessing.
When trouble comes our way, and invades our life like a barbaric army, we are tempted to dwell in darkness with that marauding band. We acknowledge the darkness and follow in the path, accepting the darkness as reality. GOD can not bless us when we choose to walk in the path of the army of evil. GOD can lead us out into the Light when we can invite Him into the darkness as our Deliverer and Savior. When He is invited in, the darkness flees and the blessings abound.
How do we invite Him in to our circumstances? PRAISE. The opening of the door through praise, dispels darkness, defeats the army of darkness and brings in the LIGHT OF LIFE.
Praise begins when we acknowledge Him. Proverbs 3:6 says: "in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your path." When we acknowledge Him, Light bursts forth and blessings flow. Praise issues forth from the heart and lips of those who acknowledge Him and follow in His path. Darkness has to flee and Light floods our life and circumstances. Everyone around will be drawn to the light and all will begin to praise GOD. As in the case of Paul and Silas in prison, the foundations of the prison will shake, the jail doors will open and the chains fall off. Deliverance from darkness happens at the sound of praise issuing from the lips of the faithful.
IN ALL YOUR WAYS ACKNOWLEDGE HIM, AND HE WILL DIRECT YOUR PATH.
PRAISE YE THE LORD!
