PRAISING AS A WEAPON

PRAISE BRINGS HEALING

JESUS IS A SPECIALIST. HEALING IS HIS SPECIALTY.

ISAIAH 61:1-2
The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; He hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn.

God showed us that surgery was possible when He put Adam to sleep and took his rib and formed woman so that he would not be alone. His work was perfect. There are times when trauma presents situations that require a divine surgical procedure. In Adam’s case the issue was loneliness. The Lord knows what we stand in need of even before we ask. He’s a mender of broken hearts.

When you praise the Lord with your whole heart, the Lord starts His procedure of healing every broken place starting with your heart, your mind, and your spirit. Then when it once seemed like you were a broken cistern that couldn’t hold water; as a potter, He molds you. The brokenness is mended. You can hold water again. What He pours into you by His Holy  Spirit, it remains. Then you can stir up what’s in you and He can use you to pour upon others with your testimony of His righteousness upon your life.

When the Lord approached me and advised me that He had called me and had chosen me for a work, I was a mess. Most of my issues that the Lord had to address dealt with the way I perceived myself. I always loved the Lord, but I didn’t like myself. A great bit of spiritual warfare was in the battlefield of the mind. The enemy often remind me of my short comings and have me to look at all of the wrong in my life. I was shy. I was an outcast. “No one cares. No one is listening to me,:” I would say to the Lord. “I don’t have enough of your Spirit.” I said. The Lord gently shared with me that I needed to praise Him more, lift Him up the more. The more you praise the Lord, the more you see things clearly. He said praise Him for His manifested presence. When I made praise a part of my daily seek, my perspective changed from looking at the wretchedness of the flesh to accepting the righteousness of Christ. I had to love His Spirit within me. Every wrong was made right by His Spirit. No flesh can glory in His presence. The flesh cannot please the Lord. The flesh is wretched and we are all filthy as rags. Jesus by faith is our righteousness. We must praise the Lord to hear His voice clear on such matters. Through the praise I can myself in Christ so that He would be seen and not me. It is then that I would be more in sync with His Spirit to do His swill and not my own.

Psalm 100
