Oh that My people would be people of praise! Oh that they would constantly have a word or song of praise in their hearts and on their lips!

Praise is the way of My Kingdom. Praise is the opposite of the way of the world. The Devil brings his people into bondage through fear, worry, contention, bitterness, and murmuring. But I long to bring My people into freedom through praise and thanksgiving.

When you are praising, then I can envelop you in My Spirit. Praise helps to ward off the attacks of doubts, fears, and worries put in your mind by the Evil One. Praise brings great strength, because praise helps you to keep your mind on Me.

The words of praise that come from your heart and lips are the joy of My life. Speak them any time to Me. Never be ashamed or embarrassed or afraid to express how thankful you are for Me and My love.

I love each and every one of your words. No matter what you say, I understand. Even when you feel your words are inadequate, I understand. Every expression of praise and thanks thrills Me and satisfies Me.
