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.

At the altar, our destiny is altered

At the altar, our destiny is altered... Reference-  Job 37:23-24 MSG “Mighty God! Far beyond our reach!     Unsurpassable in Power and Justice!     It’s unthinkable that HE would treat anyone unfairly. So bow to HIM in deep reverence, one and all!     If you’re wise, you’ll most certainly worship HIM.” God is unfolding His story in His own way. The Sovereign and Supreme Ruler is in control of everyone, everything, and everywhere, and the accuser must seek His permission before acting against us. He sees us as His own, and we belong to Him just as He belongs to us. As Job said, God can do all things, and no purpose of His can be stopped (42:2). The Just and Righteous Judge – Our God is fundamentally just, and it’s unthinkable that He would treat anyone unfairly. His rule and governance are righteous, even if at times our eyes, ears, and hearts may not fully understand. The source of all wisdom and revelation is God , whose knowledge is complete unlike ...

God's way is the Power

God's way is God's Power Reference- 1 Cor 4:20 MSG -  God’s Way is not a matter of mere talk; it’s an empowered life!! In 1 Corinthians, Paul speaks to a divided church where some were proud, eloquent, and believed they were spiritually superior because of their words and wisdom. He contrasts this human pride with the true power of God, shown in the cross, in changed lives, and in the work of the Spirit, the God's Power. It’s an empowered life—God’s ways are the true power, not found in mere talk, endless words, idle chatter, or impressive responses built on layers of discussion. It is a life empowered by the power of His Spirit, the presence of the Holy Spirit. It is power that breaks chains, sets us free, anoints us, and creates new opportunities, fresh paths, flourishing streams, divine strategies, abundant life, and limitless expansion. Paul didn’t ask the Corinthians to be practical . It’s not about having everything, but about having Him alongside others. That’s why h...

Efforts that counts...

Efforts that counts... Reference- 2 Ch 17  Context: King Jehoshaphat was a seeker and follower of the God of his father and was obedient to HIM; he wasn’t like Israel (at that time, Ahab was ruling Israel). And God secured the kingdom under his rule, gave him a firm grip on it. And everyone in Judah showed their appreciation by bringing gifts. Jehoshaphat ended up very rich and much honoured. Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone - Apostle James in 2:17 Efforts that showed his intention to Seek and Keep Him: Sticking to the ways of Asa (his godly father). Rejecting Baal — non-conformity to the ungodly culture. Removing high places and Asherah poles. This is personal reformation — the king putting his own house in order spiritually. Efforts that enabled others to Seek and Keep Him: Building defences — not just military, but spiritual covering. Sending teachers throughout Judah with the “Book of the Revelation of God” (likely the Torah or existing OT Scriptures). ...
