Greetings in The Mighty Name of Jesus, The Christ!!!
The Praise Of Jesus Consistent
Deuteronomy 10:21 KJV
“He [is] thy praise, and he [is] thy God, that hath done for thee these great and terrible things, which thine eyes have seen."
Brothers and Sisters there are Great and Terrible times that are coming and only those who are Walking In Jesus Word aand The Holy Spirit are you going to be able to survive. We have no issues, no problems Praising Jesus when we are going through good times, standing upon the Mountain Top, but there are many who, as they travel down the Mountain Side and into the Valley, start to Lose Praise, making Jesus subject to Their Will.
It is easy to Praise Jesus when things are going Your Way, but are All Things His Way?
1 Peter 5:8 KJV
“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:"
Can you Praise Jesus at the Death of a Loved One? Can you Praise Jesus in Sickness and Disease? Can you Praise Jesus in Losing a Job? Can you Praise Jesus in the Midst Of A Disaster and more?
All of us would say that they may not, cannot, but I tell you, that you Must! In all of these things that come upon us, is Jesus Not Still Our Lord and Savior? Did Jesus Change? We Must Learn, Understand that even in those things that we cannot Understand, Jesus is still to be Praised. Jesus, The Father, The Holy Spirit do not See Things as we do, but can See the Past, Present and Future.
Isaiah 55:9 KJV
“For [as] the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts."
Jesus Knows what brought you to Salvation, He Knows the Day, the Hour you Accepted Him as Savior. Jesus Knows when you Made Him Lord, He Knows Where You Stand Now. Jesus Knows the Future that He has for you both on Earth and in Heaven, Jesus Knows All Things!!!
Do we always Rejoice, NO! for we Cry, get Mad, get Angry, some Curse but when we come to a point of Calming down, we need to Praise Jesus. Some are able to Praise Jesus no matter the circumstances of Life, others have to be Encouraged and there are those who cannot find Praise at all. But, again I say But, if we Seek To Praise Jesus we will find a Praise Present even when we do not See, Feel the Presents Of Jesus, we need to Praise Jesus Believing He Is In Control, regardless rather we Understand or Not, Jesus is to be Praised!
You would think that this is a Subject that should be easy, a No Brainer, but, there are times when Praise seems to have disappeared, has left our very existence in the circumstances that we are now in.
I am a man that was picked on throughout school, made fun of as a child, even in adulthood, who’s mother died in my arms, was divorced because of lies, who’s children, four daughters, have turned their backs on me and forsaken me. I have diabetes, suffered a major heart attack, 7 major by passes, and many more things and yet, I have Learned, I have Found Praise in all of these things. Our Brother Paul gives an account of his circumstances he had gone through…
2 Corinthians 11:22-31 KJV
"22 Are they Hebrews? so [am] I. Are they Israelites? so [am] I. Are they the seed of Abraham? so [am] I. 23 Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I [am] more; in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft. 24 Of the Jews five times received I forty [stripes] save one. 25 Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep; 26 [In] journeyings often, [in] perils of waters, [in] perils of robbers, [in] perils by [mine own] countrymen, [in] perils by the heathen, [in] perils in the city, [in] perils in the wilderness, [in] perils in the sea, [in] perils among false brethren; 27 In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness. 28 Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches. 29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is offended, and I burn not? 30 If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things which concern mine infirmities. 31 The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is blessed for evermore, knoweth that I lie not."
Did you catch the Praise? In verses 30 -31. In all that our Brother has accounted he Praises Jesus in his infirmities, saying Jesus is Blessed For Evermore! Everyone should read this chapter to gain a better insight.
Our Circumstances does not give us the Excuse of Not Praising Jesus, a person who Surrenders everything will find Praise to be given to Jesus, no matter what it is. Praise is the Ability to Thank Jesus that He Is Lord and Savior.
Before I go on, I feel I need to explain something here. This is the Life Cycle of a Disciple, a Born Again, a Blood Bought, you were Lost, dead in Sin, The Father enabled you to be brought to Salvation, making Jesus Savior. Then as you mature in Jesus, you Learn to make Him Lord over Your Life. When you come to a point of maturity, then you come to Lean that Jesus being now Your Lord, is still Your Savior in All Things, making Him Lord and Savior. Too many of you use this phrase, but most really do not Understand. A Babe in Jesus may use this, but they are still Learning what it means for Jesus to be Savior. Scriptures speaks on this, but I will not for now.
Praise is the Recognition Of Jesus that He Is Lord Over ALL THINGS! This in no means makes Jesus Lord Over YOUR LIFE unless you have Learned to do so.
We need to Learn that saying “Thank You Jesus…” is a Praise, even when there seems to be No Evidence Of Praise by Our Standards. Learn, Learn, Learn to Praise Jesus all the day long, it is not something that comes naturally, because we in Our Flesh, make Good equal Praise, but when it is hard, we need to Praise Jesus. Praise should be in Your Life from the Rising of the Sun, until you are ready to Sleep. Praise Ye The Lord
Psalm 150:6 KJV
“Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD."
Praise Jesus that we who are Saved, Read The Word, Obey The Word and The Holy Spirit, see the Season we are now in. that troubling times are beginning for Scriptures tells us of such a time we are now in. But, let me make it very clear, that according to Scripture The Lord’s Return is not now. There are yet many other things that need to happen before Jesus Returns to get His Bride and it is in these dark times that are approaching that we NEED to Praise Jesus. This does not mean that we will not be Sad or Mad or Suffering, but in those things find Praise In Jesus!
In Our Praise, Satan has to flee, because in Our Praise To Jesus, Satan IS Defeated!!!
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, set forth a Praise that Delivered them from Death from evil men that would have their way.
Daniel 3:16-18, 23, 25 KJV
"16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we [are] not careful to answer thee in this matter. 17 If it be [so], our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver [us] out of thine hand, O king. 18 But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up. ... 23 And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace. ... 25 He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God."
You need to Read the complete story, but the Praise is in verses 17 – 18. They Recognized God as Lord and Savior before all those who where there, even unto their Death if it was to be.
Praise to Jesus brings a Peace that surpasses our understanding, that no matter what we face, Jesus Is Lord!
Find Praise for Jesus in every situation, rather good or bad, and you will find Jesus in the midst of calamity, of chaos, is still in control!!!
Romans 14:8 KJV
“For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's."
Psalm 113:1 KJV
“Praise ye the LORD. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD."
Psalm 135:1 KJV
“Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the name of the LORD; praise [him], O ye servants of the LORD."
Amen and Amen!!!
