Father, this seems to be a trap set by the Devil to cause me to fall. This is causing me to become bitter in my heart toward those who are abusing me, which could destroy me and my relationship with you, and the purpose you have for me. So where is this situation going, and what effect will it have on me? Father, only you can change hearts. Now the situation seems grim.
“Rejoice in the Lord always, and again I say rejoice. In rejoicing, you break down barriers that the enemy has set, and strongholds are released, so that I can do My work through them and through you.
It is easier to praise me in the good times, but in bad times like this, the greatest results are accomplished. Praising Me is not merely an emotional release, but a discipline, which is neither natural, nor easy to do. But do it, because it will bring the necessary results.
The enemy cannot stand against praise and worship, because they hate it and it causes them to loosen the grip they have on you, and those connected with you. This is a spiritual weapon that I have given which can and will defeat the enemy.
When you acknowledge my ultimate authority and position to resolve problems and conflicts, and give praise and worship in advance for the things I will do, in unity with My will; it will release Me to do whatever is necessary to get the proper results, healing and restoration. I am your banner and your redeemer. Nothing is impossible for Me.
When you verbally speak forth the words of praise, worship and victory, you are putting into motion the power of the ‘creative word’, which has the power to create something into existence. That word is prophetic, and has great power, because it is your will in unity with Mine, put into motion, which can and will cause great and mighty things to happen.
Test Me, and see the power and glory of the Lord. There are no powers in heaven or on earth which can stand against me”.
