Scripture:

Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands: Sing forth the honour of his name: make his praise glorious. Say unto God, How terrible art thou in thy works! through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee.
(Psalm 66:1-3)

Devotion:

This is your season of manifestation. Be prepared to fight for what God has for you through prayer and praise. God has not ordained praise to benefit Himself, but rather to raise you up to a higher level where you can enter into His best.

Do not let satan stop your blessing or contain you! Praise is much more than just music; it is a powerful spiritual warfare tool. God never meant for you to fight your battles alone—Praise will shift the battle from you to God. Praise gives you strength and stops satan in his tracks.

Praising God creates the atmosphere of heaven in your environment and situation. Take time today to praise God, and watch the miracles He will do in your life.

Prayer:

Father, I praise You for who You are! You are above all in heaven and earth, and Your works are awesome and mighty! I thank you for (name things you are thankful for; i.e., salvation, healing, provision) and everything You have done for me. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
