Psalms 149:6 "Let the High Praises of God be in their mouth and a two-edged sword in their hand." Evil powers hover over our nation, cities, and homes and even individuals. We can "Pray through" to victory - but we also need to engage in spiritual warfare through "High Praise." When we combine the two-edged sword (Word of God) with High Praise we become something to be reckoned with. The Church becomes Powerful! Psalms 149:7 "To execute vengeance on the nations, and punishment on the people!!" In Acts 2 the Church gave praise to God - preached the word - results: 3,000 men were saved.

2 information. MONTHLY CHURCH STATISTICS The early Church did not let ridicule stop them. Isaiah 30:32 "And in every place where the staff of punishment passes, which the Lord lays on Him, it will be with tambourines and harps: and in battles of brandishing, He will fight with it." It is time we break out our instruments of praise and go to WAR!!

God wants to punish Satan's kingdom by rescuing souls from Satan's hand. If you're getting tired and weary - STOP FIGHTING and START PRAISING! Release God to fight for you. "Praise takes the lid off the possibilities, because it simply confesses and rejoices in the absolute ability of God to be exactly who he is in the situation at hand." "Exploring Worship" by Bob Sorge God never said our enemies would all disappear. But He promises that we can be victorious in the midst of our enemies. Psalms 27:6 "And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me; Therefore I will offer sacrifices of joy in His tabernacle; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord." In Christ's Service, Bishop Vaughn Mathews Valley View
