Praise is Who I am

This blog post is very long. I suggest that you print it out.

Praise is who we are, and that’s what we do! If you are in Christ, get to praisin’ your Lord, God like never before!

He’s an awesome God!

Mighty is He!

There is no other, like our God!

He fights for me, He is my defense!

He loves me unconditionally!

I can’t help but to lift Him up. What about you?

Well stand up and give Him a praise! Watch this youtube video:

Praise the Lord!

Is He worthy of your praise today? Yes He is!

Hallelujah!

Did you enjoy the best blog message on the internet yesterday from Kathie Walters? Did she pump up your tired spirit? Did it come alive again? Hopefully it did.

My Lord is deep, able, and delightful!

What does He mean to you today? How valuable is the Lord to you? Is He most important person in your life? Does He have your undivided attention? And most importantly, did you give to Him what is due? If you do not know, let me share these important facts with you:

Thanksgiving

“In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” -1 Thessalonians 5:18

“Enter the Temple gates with thanksgiving; go into its courts with praise.” -Psalms 100:4

Give thanks to Him and praise Him. When we give thanks we enter the temple gates, and when we praise Him we go into the courts of the Tabernacle.

Good Works

“But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.” -Hebrew 13:16

“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” -Matthew 5:16

Shine for Him and glorify His Name. When we show others the goodness of God, we glorify His Name, and tell of His marvelous works.

New Song

“And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.”-Psalms 40:3

“And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.” – Ephesians 5:18-21

“I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving. This also shall please the LORD better than an ox or bullock that hath horns and hoofs.” – Psalms 69:30,31

Put a new song in your mouth. Praise the Lord. When you sing, you are lifting up His Name on High, and giving thanks for His goodness.

Lift hands

“Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.” – Psalms 63:4

“I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.” -1 Timothy 2:8

Lift a Standard for Him. Holy and righteous is our God. There is none like Him.

Vocal

“By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.” – Hebrews 13:15

“I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.” – Psalms 34:1

“I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations.” –Psalms 89:1

Open your mouth and Praise Him. He is worthy to be Praise. When your praise Him, you are declares His goodness to all! Show forth your love in adoration.

Prayer

“The LORD is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.” – Proverbs 15:29

“…The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.”-James 5:16

“And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.” – Revelation 5:8

Prayer and Praise is the Key to life circumstance. He is worthy of both. Prayers of the righteous man avail much. The prayer of a person living right with God is something powerful to be reckoned with.

Instruments (all kinds of music)

“Thus all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of the LORD with shouting, and with sound of the cornet, and with trumpets, and with cymbals, making a noise with psalteries and harps.” -1 Chronicles 15:28

“Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power. Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness. Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp. Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs. Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals. Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.” – Psalms 150

Praise Him for His excellent greatness. Every instrument shall praise Him. With power and might, resounded sound of joy and gladness. Every living created being shall praise Him with their instruments.

Bowing (kneeling down)

“O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker.” – Psalms 95:6
“And the man bowed down his head, and worshipped the LORD.” -Genesis 24:26

Bow before your King in Honor and adoration. He is due this respect. When you bow down, you are submitting your will for a greater glory. You trust your life to Him completely without any hesitation.

Clapping Your Hands

“O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph.” – Psalms 47:1

Clap your hands in celebration of your Lord. Bless His Holy Name. When you clap, you are saying without words that you are in approval of this victory in Christ Jesus.

Shouting unto the Lord (Psalms 47:1)

“O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph.” – Psalms 47:1

“Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.” –Psalm 35:27

“And they sware unto the LORD with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets.” – Chronicles 15:14

“And they sang together by course in praising and giving thanks unto the LORD; because he is good, for his mercy endureth for ever toward Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised the LORD, because the foundation of the house of the LORD was laid.” – Ezra 3:11

Shout for joy, and magnify the Lord. Praising and Giving thanks to Him, because He is a faithful God. Glory Hallelujah! He always keeps His promises. You can bank on that!

Dancing before the Lord

“And David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod.” -2 Samuel 6:14

“Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp.” – Psalms 149:3

“Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs.” – Psalms 150:4

Praise His Name in the dance. Express your feeling in a rhythmic movement of praise. There is freedom and liberty associated with dance that permits you to be yourself. That is what God is looking for.

Free-will offerings

“I will freely sacrifice unto thee: I will praise thy name, O LORD; for it is good.” – Psalm 54:6

“And thou shalt keep the feast of weeks unto the LORD thy God with a tribute of a freewill offering of thine hand, which thou shalt give unto the LORD thy God, according as the LORD thy God hath blessed thee:” – Deuteronomy 16:10

Praise the Lord by bringing your offering to Him, your God. He will increase your storehouse with many blessings to follow. The Lord said that His Word will bear out the truth in this matter. You must trust and believe in His Words.

Obedience in faith

“Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.” – Acts 5:29

“Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required. Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me, I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.” – Psalms 40:6-8

“Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him.” – Deuteronomy 13:4

“If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.” -Job 36:11

Delight yourself in the will of the Lord. He will give you the desires of your heart: that you lack or want for nothing. Obedience of faith is all that is required of you. Compliance to His Word, and act on what you believe.

All of these acts of worship are due to our Heavenly Father daily! We are to praise Him continually; without ceasing. Act on what you hear (James 1:22)! Those who hear and don’t act are like those who glance in the mirror, walk away, and two minutes later have no idea who they are, what they look like. So you must stay in the Word of God! Keep your Heart with all diligence. Why? Because out of it flows the issue of life (Proverbs 4:23), Right!

So when you wake up every morning, say this to yourself:

Praise is who I am, and this is what I do! Hallelujah!

Trust me! This will get you started in the right direction for the day.

Until next time, continue to be blessed and Praise the Lord!
