The Power of Praise

Shabbat Shalom from Kent, London- 19Sep2025

The Power of Praise

Scripture Reference: Ps 8:1-2

For David, it is both a fundamental habit and a way of life, something deeply ingrained since his early teenage years through political activities that shaped his journey, leading to his anointment as King and his remarkable leadership over the people for an impressive forty years.

Ps 8:1- O LORD Our GOD, How excellent is Thy NAME in all Earth! You have set Your Glory above the heavens. You have displayed, revealed Your Majesty. Your Glory is higher than Heavens. Your Name is most wonderful Name in all the earth! Amen. 

The secret revealed in Verse 2 is that the LORD has built a stronghold through the praise from the mouths of His children. Through the Praise of Children, You have silenced Your enemies and destroyed those who try to get even! Hallelujah. In other words, when we praise Him, He builds a fortress, silencing enemies, removing avengers, making foes flee, quieting opposition, and reversing the situation.

The Bible contains many references to those who praised and trusted God, leading them to great deliverance.

  • Judah: Praised God, enemies destroyed themselves.
  • ​Joshua: Praised with a shout, walls fell.
  • ​Paul and Silas: Praised God, earthquake freed them.
  • ​Hannah: Praised God, received a prophet son.
  • ​David: Praised God, became Israel's king.
  • ​Job: Praised in loss, God gave double for his troubles.
  • ​Daniel: Worshiped God, lions' mouths were shut.
  • ​Joseph: Remained faithful, rose to great power.
  • ​Esther: Fasted, saved her people from death.
  • ​Hezekiah: Worshipped, Assyrian army was struck down.
  • ​Miriam: Praised God for freedom from slavery.
  • ​The Leper: Thanked Jesus, received complete healing.
  • ​Anna: Worshipped daily, saw the Messiah.
  • ​Mary: Praised God, became His divine vessel.
  • ​The Blind Man: Praised Jesus, silenced his opposition.
  • ​The Woman with Alabaster Oil: Worshipped Jesus with her devotion.
  • ​Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego: Praised God, walked through fire.
  • ​The Canaanite Woman: Worshipped, her daughter was healed.
EACH ONE PRAISED THROUGH PAIN, GOD TURNED IT INTO POWER.

Praise is not just a response to victory- It's often the catalyst for it. When the worship rises in the fire, deliverance follows...Praise is not just a rituals but it's a weapon. Praise is not just a act but strategy- Praise is our declaration that GOD is STILL on Thrown. Amen. Hallelujah.

Praise is what we do when we can not do anything else - TD Jakes. 

NO ONE WHO HOPES IN YOU WILL EVER BE PUT TO SHAME - PS 25:3

Peace be upon the State of Israel and us. Shalom. Have a Good Weekend.

Boldness

Boldness Reference: Heb 4:12-16 We do not have to tiptoe toward God. We can always enter His presence—not only when in need, full, or facing challenges. His Word pierces soul and spirit, joints and marrow. He knows our thoughts and intentions before we ask or think. So the author of Hebrews urges us: boldly approach the throne of Grace. Receive daily bread, seasonal help, mercies, and Grace He has already arranged. In time of need, at the right time, He will help us. As Peter assured, submit obediently in His hand. Confidence: Not because the week went well. Not because your prayers feel mature. Because the curtain tore. Confidence isn't arrogance. It's knowing God left the door open.  The barrier didn't get thin—it split wide open. The King on the throne is also our High Priest. He knows our weakness from the inside. We are not interrupting Him. We have been invited. Gentle invitation. Urgent invitation. If Grace finds us and fills the room, what happens to the pressure to...

The Lifestyle of David - Faith, Trust and Prayer

The Lifestyle of David - Faith, Trust and Prayer Reference - 1 Sam 17, Ps 59 and 2 Sam 15 David was known as a man after God’s own heart, as witnessed by God Himself. The Bible reveals many reasons for this, but one of the most notable is his unwavering faith—trusting God completely and placing all his hope in the One who is more than able to guide him. I would like to discuss three scenarios and observe his responses to inspire our faith and draw us closer to Him. 1) When the Israelite army fled from Goliath, David stood his ground, boldly declaring the giant’s defeat before the fight even began, trusting entirely in the Name of the Lord rather than physical weapons. With a single stone, David struck Goliath down, vindicated God’s Name, routed the Philistine army, and proved to all that the battle belongs to the Lord. He proclaimed victory before the clash, relying not on spear, sword, or javelin, but on the Lord’s power. David said, in 1 Sam 17:45-47, “You come against me with sword,...

Prayer is tactical, transactional and transformative practice in the Bible.

Yes, prayer in the Bible is indeed **tactical**, **transactional**, and **transformative**. Each of these aspects highlights a different dimension of prayer, showing its depth and power in the life of a believer. Let’s explore these three dimensions with biblical examples and insights: --- ### **1. Prayer is Tactical** Prayer is a **spiritual weapon** and a strategic tool in the believer’s life. It is used to engage in spiritual warfare, seek God’s guidance, and advance His kingdom. - **Biblical Example**: **Ephesians 6:18**     Paul instructs believers to "pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests." This is part of the "armor of God," showing that prayer is a tactical weapon in spiritual battles.    - **Application**:     Prayer is not passive; it is an active, intentional practice to combat evil, break strongholds, and bring God’s will to earth. It is a way to align ourselves with God’s strategies and overcome th...
