Praise Guarantees God's Presence by PastorDavidAwuj(m): 5:49am On Sep 10, 2018
Praise Guarantees God's Presence

Praise commands and guarantees divine presence. 

But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel. 
 
God inhabits the praises of His people, and that is the ultimate in victory.

His presence is our greatest spiritual asset as believers, and praise is the price you pay to get it.

God's presence is our guarantee for maximum security against all the woes of life.

What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? Romans 8:31 
 
No opposition or obstacle can withstand His presence.

God's presence mocks barriers and puts you above circumstances; it confers on you more honour and dignity than any earthly status can, so that doors open before you just like they would before Him.

Without God you can do nothing; and if you don't know how to secure His presence, you will end up as nothing.

Moses knew this secret, so when he and the children of Israel were on their way to Canaan from Egypt, he said to God, "If thy presence go not with me, carry us not up hence" (Exodus. 33:15). 

Until they murmured against Him in the wilderness, the children of Israel carried His presence.

The Bible records their majestic journey through the wilderness this way:

When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language; Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion. The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back.

The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs. What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?

Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams; and ye little hills, like lambs?

Tremble thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob; Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.  Psalm 114:1–8 
 
God's presence leveled every mountain. The Red Sea could not stand either. Praise gives you the ultimate victory that God's presence guarantees. 

How do you get into God's presence? It is very simple.

Three gates lead to His house – the main gate (that brings you into the outer court), the middle gate (which brings you into the holy place) and the final gate (that brings you into the holiest of all, into the presence of the Almighty Himself).

Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. Psalm 100:4 
 
Thanksgiving gives birth to praise and praise stimulates worship. Praise instantly brings down the presence of God.

Paul and Silas brought Him down into the prison! Many are still oppressed today because they have not yet discovered this key.

God's presence makes the difference any day! It will make a genius out of a dullard.

Watch the life of every complainer, he is always frustrated. But mark any weakling, who is ever leaping, jumping and praising God, he keeps going up!

Why? No wall of Jericho can stand God's presence.

When the Israelites made that long blast with a great shout, the great God came down and the wall of Jericho fell down flat! The wall didn't just fall, it was utterly crushed!

And the Bible said,"... So that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him..." (Joshua 6:20). 

No obstacle can stand in the way of praise.

And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him. John 8:29 
 
Praise ye the Lord: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant; and praise is comely.
 
Nothing is more pleasing to God than praises.

Unfortunately, however, many think it's too simple to be real, because man naturally doesn't place much value on anything that doesn't cost him a price.

So, many miss out on the immeasurable virtues in praise, because they would rather do something more rigorous and tasking to get across to God.

But you can fast for more than forty days without seeing God; but you can't praise Him in truth and in deed for only one day and still miss Him.

His presence makes crooked things straight; so I see every crookedness that the enemy has planted on your life, Family, destiny, business and career fall down flat now, in Jesus' name.

Amen! Hallelujah

Understanding The Power Of Praise.

However to enjoy this benefits you MUST be born again...

A Sinner's Prayer for Salvation and Baptism in the Holy Spirit

Heavenly Father, I come to You in the Name of Jesus. Your Word says, "...whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved" (Acts 2:21).

I am calling on You. I pray and ask Jesus to come into my heart and be Lord over my life according to Romans 10:9-10.

"If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." I do that now.

I confess that Jesus is Lord, and I believe in my heart that God raised Him from the dead.

I am now reborn! I am a Christian—a child of Almighty God! I am saved!

You also said in Your Word, "If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: HOW MUCH MORE shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?" (Luke 11:13).

I'm also asking You to fill me with the Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit, rise up within me as I praise God. I fully expect to speak with other tongues as You give me the utterance (Acts 2:4).

(Begin to praise God for filling you with the Holy Spirit. Speak those words and syllables you receive—not in your own language, but the language given to you by the Holy Spirit. You have to use your own voice. God will not force you to speak.)

Now you are a Spirit-filled believer. Continue with the blessing God has given you and pray in tongues each day. You'll never be the same!
