My children, I have called you to be warriors for Me. As one of the things you are to do as a warrior is to know how to praise Me, truly praise Me. You still have not learned to truly praise Me in all things. You have still not learned to truly praise Me from the depths of your hearts. For you to be completely strengthened in being a warrior for Me and be battle ready you must learn how to truly praise Me.

It is time to step up to the plate and really enter the battlefield. Training camp is over. It is time to stand up and fight. Too many of you have allowed the enemy to convince you that you are not strong enough to fight. This is a lie straight from the pits of hell. You need to get out of this deception and walk in to the battlefield fully refreshed in Me. You need to be ready to praise Me from your heart that the victory is already yours. You need to accept and know your authority in Me and use it.

Now is not the time to be in hiding and walking in defeat. Now is the time to put the enemy in his place and prove to him that he is not going to run your life anymore. It is time to use the tools that I have given you. Now is the time to put into action the things that I have been teaching you and to use them the way they are to be used.

It is time to claim your place in Me. It is time to show that you are going to serve Me no matter what and that you are willing to fight to keep your place in Me. It is time to prove that you will fight no matter how you feel physically. It is time to prove that you will fight no matter how you feel spiritually. It is time to prove that once and for all you are going to do whatever it takes to serve Me and to keep your place in Me. It is time for you to know your rights in Me and claim them and use them.

I am moving and I am ready to pour out many things upon My children. You must be completely ready and prepared to fight to keep what I am giving you. The enemy is not going to just give up and allow you to receive all that I have for you. He is going to try to steal it back as fast as I give it to you and you are going to have to be ready and on guard to fight and to protect all that you receive from Me.
The key to success in all of this, before, after, and during the battle is the praise that you have in your heart for Me. If you cannot learn to truly praise Me now then you will not be strong enough to prevail over the enemy. Today, I want you to really and truly praise Me from the depths of your hearts. I want you to praise Me and get prepared for the battles that are ahead. It will be through your praise that will bring forth the victory and to protect the things that I am giving you.

Today, I want you to prevail over the enemy through praise. I want you to praise Me and watch the breakthrough take place. I want you to praise Me and feel the strength come back inside of you and the weakness disappear. Today, really praise Me from the depths of your heart and know that you are ready for the battles that lie ahead and know that you are already victorious in Me.
Deuteronomy 20:4 (NIV)
4 For the Lord your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory.”

Ephesians 6:13 (NIV)
13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.

1 Corinthians 15:57 (NIV)
57 But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

1 Chronicles 16:8-36 (NIV)
8 Give praise to the Lord, proclaim his name;
make known among the nations what he has done.
9 Sing to him, sing praise to him;
tell of all his wonderful acts.
10 Glory in his holy name;
let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice.
11 Look to the Lord and his strength;
seek his face always.
12 Remember the wonders he has done,
his miracles, and the judgments he pronounced,
13 you his servants, the descendants of Israel,
his chosen ones, the children of Jacob.
14 He is the Lord our God;
his judgments are in all the earth.
15 He remembers[a] his covenant forever,
the promise he made, for a thousand generations,
16 the covenant he made with Abraham,
the oath he swore to Isaac.
17 He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree,
to Israel as an everlasting covenant:
18 “To you I will give the land of Canaan
as the portion you will inherit.”
19 When they were but few in number,
few indeed, and strangers in it,
20 they[b] wandered from nation to nation,
from one kingdom to another.
21 He allowed no one to oppress them;
for their sake he rebuked kings:
22 “Do not touch my anointed ones;
do my prophets no harm.”
23 Sing to the Lord, all the earth;
proclaim his salvation day after day.
24 Declare his glory among the nations,
his marvelous deeds among all peoples.
25 For great is the Lord and most worthy of praise;
he is to be feared above all gods.
26 For all the gods of the nations are idols,
but the Lord made the heavens.
27 Splendor and majesty are before him;
strength and joy are in his dwelling place.
28 Ascribe to the Lord, all you families of nations,
ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
29 Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;
bring an offering and come before him.
Worship the Lord in the splendor of his[c] holiness.
30 Tremble before him, all the earth!
The world is firmly established; it cannot be moved.
31 Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad;
let them say among the nations, “The Lord reigns!”
32 Let the sea resound, and all that is in it;
let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them!
33 Let the trees of the forest sing,
let them sing for joy before the Lord,
for he comes to judge the earth.
34 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
his love endures forever.
35 Cry out, “Save us, God our Savior;
gather us and deliver us from the nations,
that we may give thanks to your holy name,
and glory in your praise.”
36 Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel,
from everlasting to everlasting.
Then all the people said “Amen” and “Praise the Lord.”

Psalm 66
1 Shout for joy to God, all the earth!
2 Sing the glory of his name;
make his praise glorious.
3 Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds!
So great is your power
that your enemies cringe before you.
4 All the earth bows down to you;
they sing praise to you,
they sing the praises of your name.”
5 Come and see what God has done,
his awesome deeds for mankind!
6 He turned the sea into dry land,
they passed through the waters on foot—
come, let us rejoice in him.
7 He rules forever by his power,
his eyes watch the nations—
let not the rebellious rise up against him.
8 Praise our God, all peoples,
let the sound of his praise be heard;
9 he has preserved our lives
and kept our feet from slipping.
10 For you, God, tested us;
you refined us like silver.
11 You brought us into prison
and laid burdens on our backs.
12 You let people ride over our heads;
we went through fire and water,
but you brought us to a place of abundance.
13 I will come to your temple with burnt offerings
and fulfill my vows to you—
14 vows my lips promised and my mouth spoke
when I was in trouble.
15 I will sacrifice fat animals to you
and an offering of rams;
I will offer bulls and goats.
16 Come and hear, all you who fear God;
let me tell you what he has done for me.
17 I cried out to him with my mouth;
his praise was on my tongue.
18 If I had cherished sin in my heart,
the Lord would not have listened;
19 but God has surely listened
and has heard my prayer.
20 Praise be to God,
who has not rejected my prayer
or withheld his love from me!
