My Song of Praise....

Levi. Mammy Lyzette and Dave
It has been a time of warfare as most of my loved ones have been attacked with sickness in their bodies. My wife and two sons have not been doing fine of late but I have found courage and strength in the Lord,just like David encouraged himself in the Lord when all around him was against him,and his loyal people wanted to stone him,for a moment I felt like all around me was against me since I was the only one healthy at home,yet in all this I have trusted God to heal and for sure when all seem distorted that's when God is glorified most. Worship is so enjoyable when all seemingly is going on well with you, when you have money in your accounts, when you have a good pillow to lay your head and when your relationships are healthy. The enemy knows that in such times when all is going well your faith tank is full. So what he does; he leaves you until an opportune time, comes and checks again to see if all is well, he checks on you while looking for an opportunity to strike, that's why it is very important for you not to give him even an inch of your life. The moment you give him an inch, he will take you captive and take charge of you. Don't be as though you are ignorant of his schemes; David pledged to bless the Lord at all times because he knew the bigness of his God over the challenges and wars he faced. His victory was in knowing his God and what He can do.For sure this has been my only weapon in such a time,I chose to give praises to Him who knows me when I lay down and when I rise up..Not the easiest thing to do"GIVING PRAISE IN THE MIDST OF CRISIS"but the best:"Lamentation praise"moves God from His rest to His office table and on His laptop to check the updates of your life!!!
Brokenness on earth will cause openness in Heaven...
There is always a ray of hope for all. I am one of all and you too are. Put on the garment of praise, begin to dance like David danced, refuse to be defeated, you may not have all that you need now but you have the ultimate that the whole world craves for." The Name of the Lord" It is a strong tower, the righteous run to it and they are safe. As many as call upon his Name shall be delivered. David defeated Goliath in the Name of the Lord.For this one time I refused to be defeated with worry and fear,instead put on my garment of praise and before I knew it,I had transferred this garment into my wife and she joined me in focusing our eyes to The Lord Jesus other than the pains she was going through and here was joy again in our home"THE JOY OF THE LORD IS MY STRENGTH"
Happy to be called  Sons of God...
 You too can conquer in his Name,"HIS GRACE IS SUFFICIENT FOR YOU" Heaven is waiting for you to take the lead. Brokenness on earth causes openness in heaven, a broken and contrite heart the Lord will not despise. Can you imagine how your life would be if you positioned yourself in the place that heaven sees you at, or you don't even know  that  position. Eph 2:6 says we are seated in heavenly places with Christ Jesus, high above principalities and powers. The day I discovered that truth in my life is the day I began to chase all that was chasing me and today I can boldly encourage you to stand strong in the Lord and in the power of His might because only He has the ability to take you beyond recognition. He is my LORD and my God, the lifter of my life, in Him I live, move and have my being,"the beginner and the finisher of my faith!"  Mat 5:16  In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.

Blessings to you all,
Jeff
