Anyone up for a 30 Day Increase in Praise & Worship Challenge?

[Laela]

I thank God for His Word (Romans 12) ...

1 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.
2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

I thank Him for my portion...
3 For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you.
4 For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function,
5 so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.
6 We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your[a] faith;
7 if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach;
8 if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.

I thank Him for the Love lesson...
9 Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.
10 Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. 11 Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. 12 Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.
13 Share with the Lord’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality.
14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.
15 Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn.
16 Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position.[c] Do not be conceited.
17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone.
18 If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.
19 Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,”[d] says the Lord.
20 On the contrary:
“If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
if he is thirsty, give him something to drink.
In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.”[e]

21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good

Father I thank you for a love that endures all.

 

[PinkPebbles]

Psalm 86:8-13
8Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto thy works.

9All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name.

10For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone.

11Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.

12I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore.

13For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell.

Thank you Abba Father .

Lord, I have to praise you in advanced!

I thank you for the Holy Spirit, the inward witness. Lord, you are about to open some doors for your children; some promises are about to manifest that was predestined for 2011; things are about to turn around; some things will begin to shift in the natural realm suddenly.

The very day you wrote this, something HUGE manifested. I've been celebrating and praising all weekend and I have finally calmed down enough to share. I have been promoted at work (higher title and an increase in salary). That right there is enough to be amazing! But what takes it to another level is that God favored me because I was promoted over my current boss(who had been trying to take credit for my work secretly). I knew that God would promote me but I was in awe. Just as PinkPebbles said, it was a sudden shift.

GLORYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!! I have been believing for promotion and increase for months and God gave me what I asked for and more.

Sashaa08 - I rejoice with you!
Our God is good ALL the time...I truly believe 2011 is the year for extra-measure manifestation; and fruition for a lot of God's children.

It doesn't matter what your current situation looks like; stand on the word and the promise; and in everything give praise and thanks to God.

God has been speaking to spirit and this is not the time to complain, this is not the time to give up, this is not the time to associate with the doubters, this is not the time to judge things based on past experiences; BUT rejoice, and again rejoice!!!!

I didn't mean to be preachy...but I had to get it out!!!

Let the Redeemed rejoice!!!!

 

[Sashaa08]

Sister, you get as preachy as you want to! It looked impossible, in fact, it looked like I was going to be waiting for another 6 or 7 months but God turned it around. I make my boast in the Lord-see how mighty our God is?! Is there nothing too hard for Him?! He can do it all! Keep praising, keep confessing your promises-it works!!

I hope I can encourage somebody who reads this to keep pushing ahead and praising through obstacles and conflict. Break through is coming! This is just the beginning but I definitely couldn't keep such a wonderful blessing from my sisters here.

I really needed these posts today. I woke up today feeling really blah. I'm waiting on a breakthru that I've been waiting on for over 2yrs. I know my time is not God's time. It just gets difficult to focus on what's on the other side when so much time continues to pass.

I KNOW he's able and that he'll show up on time. Thanks so much for sharing your testimony Sashaa.

With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

9 Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices;
my body also will rest secure,

Good news, sash' and PP that's really good for your friend.

Oh dear Sashaa, I'm so happy for you, well done. Yes, He is faithful and keeps His words.
Rejoicing with you and singing praises so high tonight for my brother who was unemployed (a stable real one) for......months, years may be. he has been called for a 3 months mission. It's not a permanent one but it's so hard and the case seemed hopeless that this temporary position is still a blessing.

Our prayers are not vain, for we express our desire to get closer to the Lord and live in Jesus' love. It's only by your grace, Lord ; there would be nothing, no one without you Precious Jesus. I keep say that I strongly believe in Him but the things He is doing are always higher and sweeter than what I could imagine....singing "he is an awesome God, God...."

2011 is going to be a great year as PinkPebbles said--God will unleash his goodness and it will be evidence of his goodness and greatness to others. We will be able to share that goodness with others.

Daniel 4:2-3 NLT

2 I want you all to know about the miraculous signs and wonders the Most High has performed for me.

3 How great are his signs, how powerful his wonders! His kingdom will last forever, his rule through all generations.

Thank you Lord Jesus that I abide in You :heart2:

Isaiah 40:27-31 (The Message)
27-31Why would you ever complain, O Jacob,
or, whine, Israel, saying,
"God has lost track of me.
He doesn't care what happens to me"?
Don't you know anything? Haven't you been listening?
God doesn't come and go. God lasts.
He's Creator of all you can see or imagine.
He doesn't get tired out, doesn't pause to catch his breath.
And he knows everything, inside and out.
He energizes those who get tired,
gives fresh strength to dropouts.
For even young people tire and drop out,
young folk in their prime stumble and fall.
But those who wait upon God get fresh strength.
They spread their wings and soar like eagles,
They run and don't get tired,
they walk and don't lag behind.

Psalm 84:11 (New International Version)

11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield;
the LORD bestows favor and honor;
no good thing does he withhold
from those whose walk is blameless.

Father I'm so thankful for your favor. When all odds look like they are against me in the natural, you are working it out in the supernatural!

 

[paradise79]

I'm going to sing your praise and shout out what you did for me and what you're working on. I'm covered by your holy blood and I do know I don't even deserve one single it of it. But the thruth is I'l loved by you, precious lamb. your blood washed my sins away and you're guiding my path. Times are rough but I'm still here because you're by my side and every sunrise is a smile you put on my face for a new day. Every time the wind blows, I can feel your presence and can hear you whispering how much you love and care for me.

You're precious, you're The One and Ultimate King of everything. Thank you in advance for my future and be praised for what you're planning for me.

Let everyone give thanks to you.
4Let the nations be glad and sing joyfully
because you judge everyone with justice
and guide the nations on the earth.
5Let the people give thanks to you, O God.
Let all the people give thanks to you.

@ icn, Amen and thanks that's my favourite quote in the Bible. it says it all and has been so powerful in rough times and good times also. It has helped in so many aspects of my faith and my mission for it's attached to other quotes that make it so deep and true.

Praise Him in ALL circumstances and give thanks to the Lord for every single thing in life. Today, I'm going to praise you more than yesterday and the praise of tomorrow will be higher.
