Today, My children, I want you to praise Me in the midst of your battles. I want you to have praise on your lips and songs in your heart. Do not fall in the pity parties that the enemy wants you to be in. If the enemy can get you to a place of despair and discouragement he will have stolen your victory. Do not allow him to do this.
Praise Me with all of your heart. Praise Me that I am in the storm with you and I am calming the storm, so that you can get back on your feet. Praise Me that all is well. As you praise Me you defeat the enemy. As you praise Me you are using a very powerful weapon and letting the enemy know he will not win. You are letting the enemy know that you will follow Me at all costs. As you praise Me you are hurting the enemy’s ears because he knows that if you are praising Me you are not listening to him.
Get your minds off your circumstances and praise Me. Praise Me for all that I have promised you. Praise Me that I Am; and will do what I said I will do. Praise Me that you have the victory over all that is going on in your life. Praise Me.
Sing love songs to Me and just come into My presence and be strengthened and encouraged this day. Oh how I want to hear you, My children, tell Me that you love Me. I want to hear how you feel about Me. I want to know that you truly want to serve Me and want to come to the heavenly realms with Me.
Oh how I love to hear your praises. I love to hear the melodies of your heart. I love to hear the sweet and soft words off your lips. It brings such joy to Me to hear your praises.
As you praise Me the joy will start bubbling over again inside of you. As you praise Me your happiness will be restored. As you praise Me from your heart, you are allowing Me to perform miracles in your life, healing your heart, and allowing Me to fertilize the love inside of you.
Oh, My children, do you not see how powerful the praises are that come from you because you are My children? Your praises bring life into your lives and to the lives of others. It brings the positive into your life that it will no longer allow you to focus on the negative. It will keep your eyes upon Me and not at what is going on around you. It is through your praise that you will give Me the glory and show the world just how wonderful it is to follow Me and to make heaven their home. Through your praises you will draw in the harvest of lost souls back into My arms.
Praise Me today and see what will happen to you. You will notice the difference in yourself. You will feel the love, peace, happiness, joy, restoration, and so many other things that you are in desperate need of. Strengthen yourself in Me in the midst of your battles through praise. Praises bring forth growth and help your soul prosper in Me.
Try it today and see that what I am telling you is the truth. Praise Me with your true heart and watch your faith multiply more than you would imagine. Praise Me and allow these things to take place in your life and know that My presence is there with you. You will know that I am God, and I want My children to be happy. Praise Me this day and bring much joy to My heart and watch it transform your life into something more than you thought it was and watch what I will do.
Just praise Me today for all that I have done, am doing, and going to do.
Ephesians 2:4-10
4 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, 5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. 6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, 7 in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. 8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. 10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
16 Rejoice always, 17 pray continually, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

Hebrews 13:15-16
15 Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that openly profess his name. 16 And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.
