October 1, 2023 – Trusting God to Pray for Victory
Colossians 4:2
Sermon: 2320 How to Praise Your Way to Victory
Pray Over This
“Continue earnestly in prayer, being vigilant in it with thanksgiving.”
Colossians 4:2
Ponder This
The battle is the Lord’s, but God says you’re going to have a part. What was Jehoshaphat’s part in 2 Chronicles 20? Praise. God says, “The battle is mine, but I’m not going to do one thing until you praise.” What if they said, “Well, Lord, as soon as You give us the victory, we’re going to sing”? God says, “No, I’m not going to give you any victory until you start singing.” Are you willing to praise God during your problems? Can you praise in the face of your enemy when you don’t have anything but the promise of God? He says, “I will not leave you or forsake you. The battle is not yours; it’s Mine.” Now get out there and praise the Lord!
You see, a lack of praise is really unbelief. The Bible teaches that when we praise the Lord, we’re really expressing faith in God. Prayer and praise go together. Prayer and praise are the two wings of spiritual power. Prayer infuses us with the energy of God, and praise confuses the enemies of God. The devil is allergic to praise. When we praise God, He sends confusion into the camp of our enemies.
- When have you praised God before going into something difficult? How does this impact you and your perspective?
- Why is God worthy of praise, no matter our circumstances?
