Psalms 8:2 says that "through the praise of children and infants you have established a stronghold against your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger. NIV" When I read this scripture I felt like the heavens opened and revelation fell like fresh manna from my heavenly father.
I got new revelation when I read that scripture. You mean to tell me that when we praise, we create a stronghold that silences our enemy I thought to myself. Maybe you read this scripture before and saw it. Maybe you read this scripture before and never saw it. Nevertheless, it was new to me and gave me yet another reason to praise and worship God.
I believe I heard this praise through God's children this past Tuesday night at Community Life Center where I spoke to a women's group. It went on and on, and it was powerful. It was radical. There was a sense of abadonment in it. It was thick, deep, and wide. There were several times in that night when we broke out in it.
God had given me an image of women praising with their hands up the night before as I was preparing to speak. I heard a loud crazy like praise coming out of her mouth!
Little children look at things simply; we can look at praise the same way. It is clear to me that I silence the enemy when I praise. It's not a wimply half-hearted praise; it's raw and radical praise.
What about you? Are you up for it? I hope that this short article has lifted the covers off your face and given you another reason to press in and praise and worship! It has myself.
