PUT on the garment of PRAISE for the spirit of heaviness.
PRAISE delivers the captive and sets the prisoner free in his heart, it breaks the chains that bind you whether it be chains of fear, bitterness, anxiety, heaviness
I will put on the garment of PRAISE and put off the spirit of heaviness Isaiah 61:3
Jesus came to give us beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; so, we could be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, so HE may be glorified.
Garment of praise is a free gift from God, but there is a putting on of this garment. It is not something that comes natural and you are not always going to feel like it in the flesh because there will be times when your emotions are distraught. Your emotions can`t be trusted, for they are like the waves of the sea at times tossed to and fro. PRAISE is an expression of our love and reverence and respect for God. It is also an act of obedience. HE is enthroned in the praises of HIS people, in other words, HE abides, HE delights, and HE moves mightily through our praises. In 11 Chron. 20:21,22 God moved in miraculous ways as the people praised Him, also as Paul and Silas in prison sang praises to the Lord, He came down for them and did great and mighty things. Acts 16:25-34
For the Lord is great and greatly to be praised. He is also to be feared above all gods. 1 Chron. 16:25, I will praise Your great and awesome name. You are holy. Ps.99:3. Let’s together search the scriptures this week and find the praise verses and speak them out and give Him all praise. Praise is mentioned in the bible about 248 times. It’s important to live a life of praise unto Him and let’s make it our lifestyle every day. God bless, Lollita Faith
Lord Jesus, I walk in obedience to Your word and I put on the garment of praise and give You all praise, for You are worthy. I will enter Your gates with thanksgiving and into Your courts with praise. I will be thankful and bless Your name. In Your precious name, Amen
