Praise is the Pathway

PRAISE releases the Spirit of Prophecy into the church.  We woo the Spirit of Christ into our presence when we sing praises unto Him.   Two important things happen when we do this:  (1)  He joins us in song; (2) this praise releases the spirit of prophecy.

When we declare His Name, and joyfully sing praise to our God, Christ comes to flood our minds with the glory of the Father's character.  Therefore praise introduces edification, exhortation, and comfort to bless the whole body.

Ephesians 5:18-19 tells us to "be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ...".

Today is Sunday.  We're to go to church and lift up His Name.  We're to invite Him to come and be present with us in His House (the church....and in our hearts) this day.  He has something to say to us....come and sing a love song unto Him and He will come and express His love to us.

Come and WORSHIP...come and draw near to Him...and He will draw near to you.  Come and be a LIVING SACRIFICE.  I love the worship song that goes like this: 

"Lord, prepare me to be a sanctuary--pure and holy, tried and true.  With thanksgiving I'll be a living sanctuary for You."  

(Make this your prayer today as you lift up your voice unto Him.)
