(Fourth part)
Memory verse: (Acts 16:25-26) “ But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them. Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone’s chains were loosed ”.
Praise has capacity to release immense power of God that can rock the very foundations of the gates of hell. Paul and Silas were bound with chains and thrown behind prison gates. Good news, they entered the prison with divine key that could open any door in the natural and in the spiritual realm i.e. the key of prayer and praise. They praised and prayed in the middle of the night until the prisoners were awakened and heard them. There was no church gathering, they were only two; It was such a great duet. They had every reason to be complaining, it was cold, they were in pain because they had been beaten, but they knew that could not solve their problem. They focused on they answer to their predicament. Hands and legs in chains, they praised anyway. No congregation to boost them up but they praised, they did not have instruments but they praised, things were not going right but they praised, their praise reached out and reached heaven and touched God’s heart. When your praise touches heaven, heaven’s power shakes the very foundations of the kingdom of darkness. Power fell in the prison, foundations of the prison were shaken, doors of the prison flung open, chains upon Paul and Silas got broken and they were free…When praise flow out of your mouth to God, God’s power will be released and you’ll be set free.
Praise releases yoke destroying anointing. Praise release power that no gates of hell can resist. Shouts of praise will cause Jericho walls to fall. Learn to use this weapon in your family. Your home need not be haunted by demons and powers of darkness. Devils, evil powers don’t need to stress you, depress you, just raise praise from your heart. Praise has nothing to do with instruments, or a place. It does not need to be a church, anywhere you praise God. Praise originates from your heart. It can flow out to God without instruments. All these musical instruments are good to accompaniments as we worship but they don’t produce praise. As you begin to open your heart to release forth praise, extraordinary miracles, breakthroughs, open doors are going to be your portion. You’ll never be in bondages again!!!
