The enemy is allergic to Praise

Bonjour mes amis, 

Today, we are on Day 5 of Operation PUSH! We are still praising our way through to our breakthroughs from 1 Chronicles 16:4 and Psalms 150:6. 

Do you know the enemy cannot stand praise and worship? He hates a joyful believer, and if we persist in praising God instead of complaining about our problems, it drives the enemy mad, and he gets very confused. If only we could glimpse what happens in the kingdom of darkness, I think we would praise more and complain less. But if we look at the natural realm we can understand what praise does to the enemy. Have you ever hurt someone to the core? I mean that hurt should have taken a lifetime to get over, but during the time of anger and pain, the person seems to rise above it, they seem to dress better, they seem to get more attention than before and suddenly, you get upset, jealous, and even confused. Well multiply that feeling a million times over, and that is how the enemy gets when despite all you have been through you can still throw your hands up and give God praise. 

Too often when we go to pray or praise, we focus our words on the enemy instead of our great God; diluting the warfare and that leaves us exhausted, frustrated, and defeated. If you have gotten hold of a promise from God, then it is time to stop shouting at the enemy. It is time to zone in on that promise and declare the greatness of your God. Go to your secret place of prayer and stand on that promise, and focus your praise on God and see him come into your situation and give you the victory. King David was also a man who faced many trials and tribulations in his life. He was anointed to be king in his teenage years, yet never took his throne until he was thirty, but in all his troubles he said, "I will bless the Lord at all time; His praise shall continually be in my mouth."

When King Jehoshaphat and his army went out to battle, they sang and praised. Their focus was on their God, and this caused God to show up. The story tells us, "As they began to sing and praise, the Lord set ambushes against the men of Ammon and Moab and Mount Seir who were invading Judah, and they were defeated." How powerful is that? 

Often we think we are fighting the enemy, but the truth is we are not; we invite God into our battle, and he fights for us. When I got hold of this revelation, it took a huge burden off my shoulders, and today I pray that your burden will also be lifted. Praise not only brought the people of Judah the victory, but it also brought them into great material blessings. My friends, everything we need is wrapped up in the person and presence of Jesus. I encourage you to turn your focus away from the enemy, and invite God into your situation, turn your gaze upon him, get your praise on, and watch him decimate the plans and purposes of the enemy.

"If the devil has ever troubled you, let me tell you this: you can trouble him a lot more than he troubles you when you learn to praise and glorify the Lord Jesus Christ in his presence. He hates it. It embarrasses him, he'll go somewhere else." - Derek Prince

SPECIAL EDITION: PRAY OVER YOUR MARRIAGE and another love story

Dear readers,  Words are powerful. I have learnt to let most of the things I say be positive and contain a prayer. Praying God's word over your marriage is important.  Marriage is a blessing from God, but it is not always cherished the way it should be; Maybe because life gets busy, or we get distracted; Maybe because we start to take one another for granted; Or we disagree and let resentments hang on longer than they should. Hm! I was taught recently that the baggages we bring along from our past, into our marriages are a great burden as well. We take these baggages for granted but believe you me, most old baggages, are the cause of most broken marriages.  Some baggages are in the form of old girlfriends and boyfriends who are witches and wizards, or left some kind of spiritual bonding with your spouse. Some are in the form of just clingy exes. Some baggages may even just be low self esteem or extreme high expectations. When joined as ''one'', a new battle to...

Taste and see... THE LOVE STORY (birthday in the midst of Covid 19)

Buenos dias a todos, I have been writting posts about marriage beacause I feel inspired to share my personal experiences in marriage to help save other marriages. Along the way, I realized other couples also wanted to share thier experiences as well to help save more marriages. What a blessing God has given unto us to expand His kingdom. Come one, come all. Let us go out there and save more marriages.  Today, I am narrating the full story of this same beautiful man I met a long time ago. FYI, he is even more beautiful presently.  I met him when I had just completed High School. He had also just completed College.  I was working as a sales girl in a garment shop. A colleague of mine was his friend. He had come there to visit her and give her a flyer advertising a drama school he was starting. We had common intrest: film making. I still remember that first glance at him clearly like it was yesterday, ''What a beautiful boy'' I thought. Then took a second look at hi...

Making the effort part 3 (TAKEN FOR GRANTED?)

Bonjour a tous, We have discussed conciously making up our minds to work on our marriages or relationships.  We have learnt to go to God in difficult situations, we have decided divorce is not an option. Does that mean we give a green pass to our spouse to be unfaithful to us?  Or for our spouses to neglect the core values of spicing up the marriage and keeping it enjoyable.  Marriage is about consisently doing life together. what do we do in our daily lives.  Lets remind ourselves; sleep, wake up, prepare breakfast, eat, take a shower, wash dishes, go to work, attend to peoples needs, come back home, have dinner, take another bath, sleep! Oh I think I left out prayer! And if you have kids under ten(not in all cases), helping them take a bath and getting ready for school and bed.  And making sure they are fed. On weekends its a whole new plan which may include more or less activities.  Can we think of not hurting our spouses or keeping them...
