Sidestepping the "lynch mob"
Anyone up for a Praise Challenge for the month of February? God inhabits/dwells in the praises of His people. We are Israel and He inhabits our praises (Psa 22:3) Praise energizes, it soothes the soul/spirit, it breaks strongholds and ushers in the presence of our Father.
We all go to different churches and are in different places yet collectively we're here; God's Holy Spirit transcends place and time. If you're up for the challenge, this is how it goes: For the sake of everyone being able to participate - we'll pick three specific time of the day, and for every day this month we will praise God together for five minutes during all or each of those times.
{Please don't worry that I'm posting this today..we'll carry over the days into March, but it will be 28 days. I'll post a vote for the next three days, and we'll start on Sunday, Feb 5. You may post if you choose, but posting will not be necessary every day. However, I am encouraged there will be testimonies.}
I sincerely pray that we look past our differences, likes/dislikes to allow this challenge, because it's all about GOD, whom we all Love with our hearts, souls and minds. It's not about us. God the Father deserves all the Glory. He deserves all our praises. Sometimes we just need to praise Him, not because we want or need something from Him or to keep the devil at bay, or to get the victory over a situation. But just to praise the Most High God with the spirit of Praise. This is the reason we will be praising. When Moses asked God for His name, He told Moses "I am that I am", which means He exists! We are praising God...just because. We will focus on Him, just because. No other name is worthy of our praise.
There are seven ways to Praise God..here's a link I find useful:

Feel free to Praise any way you want, but the idea is for us all to do it together at the same time. We pray together....let's praise God together as well. There is POWER in our PRAISE!
Please join me... :heart2:
