Praise Defeats the Enemy

By: Min. Angela Lee Price

Beloved, I am here to encourage you to praise your way through that troubling situation, trial, or storm!  Praise recognizes Jesus Christ as the solution to our problems.  He is bigger than cancer, bigger than unemployment, bigger than a broken marriage, bigger than anything you are facing.  Is there anything to hard for God?  Praise uplifts the troubled spirit!  Praise does so much more because when you praise sometimes you won't have to fight the battle at all! Isn't God good! Here it is....

In 2 Chronicles 20, the text says beginning at verse 21, "After consulting the people, Jehoshaphat appointed men to sing to the Lord and to praise him for the splendor of his holiness as they went out at the head of the army, saying: "Give thanks to the Lord, for his love endures forever."

God loves it when you fast, pray, and seek His face, and He loves it when you praise Him. Jehoshaphat takes the people's advice and he orders men to sing to the Lord. When they did that, God set ambushes against the three nations coming against the Israelites, and they turned on each other, and destroyed each other!

This is almost identical to what happened in the war Gideon's army did not have to fight in Judges Chapter 7. God sent 300 men against a vast army of 30,000 Midianites. God confused the enemy with trumpets, torches, and timing! The army prepared for war, processed to the battlefield, and positioned themselves, but they did not fight! And God got the glory! When praises go up, blessings come down! 

So while you're at work, why not offer up a sacrifice of praise.  While you're on your lunch break, lift holy hands.  Offer up authentic praise, praise that is heart-felt, consistent and genuine.  Hebrews 13: 15-16 state, "Through Him then, let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that give thanks to His name. 16 And do not neglect doing good and sharing, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.…" 
Praise defeats the enemy! Praise is a mighty weapon in spiritual warfare. Now, praise your way through and share the Good News that Jesus saves!

Sermon Recap: Praise Your Way Through

Praise the Lord, everyone!!!  Indeed, all praise, glory and honor to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for what he has already done for us.  He rode into Jerusalem as the Lamb of God and did not turn around; rode in and filled prophecy so we can trust him at his word; and rode in to give us life more abundantly.  I, too was so inspired by the Breast Cancer Awareness worship service on Sunday at Christian Healthcare Center West here in Louisville, by the number of choir members from different ministries combined in song to lift praises to our God, and by the number of staff and residents who worshipped in spirit and in truth.  Thanks to Chaplain Michael Lee for the invitation to speak from the subject,  Praise Your Way Through!, and to clinician Michael Maestro Young for his leadership, musical gifts, and love for our senior saints and the residents at the facility.  I encouraged everyone to keep their eyes on Jesus and praise Him with authentic praise through all of life's circumstances and challenges. We serve a God who is bigger than cancer.  It's Monday and I am praising my way through!  Jesus saves!

Residents at Christian Health Care Center West enjoyed pray, praise, and the preached Word on Sunday, October 23rd.

Jesus Saves Coordinates WLOU Prayer Breakfast for Third Year

By:  Angela Lee Price

Let us continue praying for Louisville, Kentucky and other cities across the country currently experiencing increases in homicides, and gun violence. As of September 9th, Louisville has seen a record 81 murders, surpassing the 2015 count of 80 for the year.   In June in response to the sharp raise in violence, Jesus Saves Ministries partnered with WLOU 104.7 FM, Louisville's Rhythm and Gospel station to host the "Silence the Violence, Increase the Peace" Summerfest Prayer Breakfast at the Kentucky Center for African American Heritage.  This is our third year serving as coordinating ministry for the breakfast.  The kick-off event for Summerfest 2016, WLOU’s outdoor, family gospel festival in Chickasaw Park, drew approximately 400 in attendance on Friday, June 17th.  Speakers included, Mayor Greg Fischer, Louisville Metro Police Department Chief Steve Conrad, Congressman John Yarmuth, State Senator Gerald Neal, activist Neal Robertson, and Council woman Cheri Bryant Hamilton.  WAVE-3 News anchor Dawne Gee served as emcee.  Apostle Dorothy Nelson, New Destiny of Faith Church, and Dr. Ruth Wilson, Shekinah Glory Ministry served as prayer leaders.  Jason Clayborn and the Team were our musical guest.

Mayor Greg Fischer stated that we must continue the spirit of goodwill that existed in the city during the week of the Muhammad Ali observances and memorial service.  Senator Neal stated that some state gun laws currently tie hands of local officials, looking at new measures to keep guns out of hand of criminals.

Chief Steve Conrad, who put statistics to number of homicides this year, with a disproportionate percentage involving young adults under 25. Community must pray and participate with law enforcement to turn around sharp escalation in gun violence. 

Dawne Gee stated we must begin to love one another, give people the benefit of the doubt because we don't always know what's going on with them. She ended by saying, "I don't look like what I've been through!"

The keynote speaker, Dr. F. Bruce Williams preached a powerful sermon from the Scripture, "Blessed are the peacemakers because they shall be called the sons of God," Matthew 5:9. Peacekeepers separate opposing factions without resolving the underlying conflict. Peacemakers build bridges, and bring justice into equation to resolve conflict. Real peace comes from God. To obtain peace of God, one must have peace with God through Jesus Christ, our peacemaker. Peace making is hard work, but blessed work.

Romans 8:31-35

~Reading Romans chapter 8 made me holla!  God does all things well!  He's got me! For the believer, God's got you, too! Those He foreknew, He predestined. Those he predestined, He called.  Those He called, He justified and glorified.

Jesus said in Matt. 20:16, that many are called, but few are chosen.  He was talking about the general call for all to believe. Paul here in Romans 8:31-ff is speaking about the specific "call" of God by which God brings believers to salvation. For the believer, God's got you!  Come what may, He's got you!  God's got your beginning, your middle and your end!  You are secure in Jesus Christ!

What can we say about these things?  If God be for us, who can be against us?  He gave his own Son so that you might be reconciled to Him.  Shall He not freely, along with him, give us all things?  Who can condemn those chosen of God?  No one. If God be for us, who can be against us? Not only who, but what can be against us....shall tribulation,  distress, persecution, famine, nakedness,  peril, or sword? No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

If you don't know Jesus as Lord and Savior, accept Him today. In him you are not only secure...but come what may.. you are more than a conqueror!  God's got you! Jesus saves!
