We’re going to *continue* on the subject of */Praise and Worship/*.
In the *last few weeks* we *took up* the *most common words* in the *Hebrew language* *for* the word */praise/*.
Each of those *Hebrew words* were so *rich and full of meaning*, and it *reveals to us* *how we are to be worshipping God*.
*Today* I want to *continue* where we *left off last week* on the *subject* of the “*/Importance of Praise/*.”
*I.
*Turn to */PSA 22:3/*
*A.
God inhabits* the *praises* of His people.
*1.
Which means* that He *dwells in our praises*.
The very *presence of God fill the place* *when* we are *truly worshipping* God.
*2.
*Not only do */we bless God/* when praise His, */but/* we */also/* */bring God’s blessings/* upon us.
*3.
*I said this last week, but I want to repeat it.
*a.
*Many of our */problems/* are */not due to circumstances/*, they’re */caused/* */because of/* */doubt and unbelief/*.
*b.
*But when you get into the */presence of God/* through */praise and worship/* you */can’t doubt/* or */have unbelief/*.
*i.
*You’ll see and *experience* the *greatness of God* and you’ll *know* that *the word* of God *is true*, *and* that *He will bring you out* of the problem.
*ii.
*I’m *not saying* that you *won’t have storms*, *but* *through* your *praises* *to God you’ll* begin to *walk in victory*.
*B.
*During the time that */Saul/* was */reigning as king/* over Israel, the */Ark of the Covenant/*, which *contained the presence of God*, was */stolen/* from Israel.
*1.
*It *wasn’t put back* in its *proper place* for some *20 years*.
*a.
During that time* there was */no praise/* bring */offered/* up */to God/* and the */presence of God/* was */gone/*.
*b.
*They */continued/* their */religious practices/*, but *without the presence of God*.
*i.
*They had a */form of godliness/*, but *denied the power* there of.
*ii.
*In other words it was */dead works/*.
(It was */done in vain/*.)
*2.
*When king */David/* */brought/* the */Ark of the Covenant back/*.
*a.
*David */appointed/* */priest/* to */praise/* God */continuously/*.
*b.
*The */presence and the power of God/* */began to manifest/*, and */Israel/* became a */victorious nation again/*.
*II.
*Turn with me to */PSA 33:1-5/*
*A.
/V 1/* would be */better translated/* “*/Sing for Joy in the Lord, O ye righteous/*.”
*1.
*The */KJV/* does translate it that way in other places.
The */NASB/* says, “*/Sing for joy in the Lord, O you righteous ones/*.”
(*/Psalm 33:1/*)
*2.
**/PSA 67:4/*
*a.
*The point that I wanted you to see is that the */Psalmist didn’t say/*, “*/Because I have joy I will sing/*.”
He said, “*/I will sing/* */for/* */joy/*.”
*b.
*The */world says/* you must be */happy before you can sing and dance/*, but */God says/* If*/ you want joy/*, */sing and dance before me/*.
*i.
*In (*/ISA 61:3/*) Isaiah said that if we are */feeling down/* then we need to */begin to praise the Lord to be lifted out of that/*.
*ii.
*“*/Put on the garment of praise/* for the spirit of heaviness.”
(*/Isaiah 61:3/*)
*B.
**/ACTS 16:16-24/*
*1.
/Paul and Silas/* were */thrown into prison/*, */beaten/* from head to toe, their */hands and feet/* locked together in */stocks/*.
The prison was probably */dark/*, it probably */stunk so bad/*.
*a.
*Yet */Paul and Silas/* */began to think about their salvation/* */and the goodness of the Lord/*, that */He has set us free from/* all */the powers of darkness/*.
*b.
*And so */they began to praise the Lord/*.
*/They sang for joy/* in the Lord.
*i.
*In the */natural/* they */didn’t see any joy/*, */but/* their */joy was in what Christ has done for them/*.
*ii.
/So they sang for Joy/*.
*2.
**/ACTS 16:25-31/*
*a.
/When there is true praise from the heart/*, */rejoicing in the Lord/*, */the presence and the power of God will be there/*.
*III.
*Turn back with me to */PSA 67:4-6/*
*A.
/Praise is faith in action/*.
*1.
*Notice that he says, “*/Praise 1st then the blessings come/*.”
(read it again).
*a.
When* *we* begin to *praise*, the very *power and presence of God* *begins to move in our lives*.
*B.
/1 of our main text/* that we’ve used for this series is */2 CHRON 20/* so let turn there.
*1.
/Israel/* was so */out numbered/* by the enemy, that they didn’t know what to do.
*a.
**/2 CHRON 20:15-18/*
*i.
*Notice what took place here.
*2.
/1st/* they had a */word from the Lord/*, */next they began to worship Him/*.
*a.
*The word “*/Worshipping/*” in (*/V 18/*) comes from the Hebrew word “*/SHABACH/*” which means “*/To magnify God for His greatness/*.”
It also */has to do with victory/*, */victory that God has given you/*.
*b.
/This was faith speaking/*.
They were putting all their faith and trust in God.
*3.
*Look at */2 CHRON 20:21-22/*
*a.
/When they began to praise the Lord/*, */the power and the presence of the Lord was there/*.
*b.
/When you and I begin to praise and worship the Lord/* */in Spirit and in truth/*, */we’re going to see the manifestation/* */of the power and presence of God working in our lives/*.
*C.
/Praise/* is */more than a cure-all/*, it’s */more than a formula to get the Word/* of God */to work/* in your lives, */it’s a life style/* */and it’s a walk of faith/*.
