“Prayer Life – Praise Life”
GREETINGS FROM THE TEMPLE …
“Prayer Life ~ Praise Life”
Our pastor, Rev. Victor S. Brice, is continuing his series on “When I’m Stuck Between a Rock and A Hard Place”. God is speaking to him. Listen – take heed – get the Word in your minds and hearts – obey (walk) in the Word.
“Your prayer life and your praise life both involve God.” – Pastor Victor S. Brice
We will always need God. We tend to get ourselves in situations where we can’t see our way out. Can’t move forward – can’t move back – can’t go to the left – can’t go to the right. But God! Reach out to Him when it appears there is no way to turn. Remember, God parted the Red Sea for the Israelites, He can certainly handle your dilemma. The moment you pray, God starts to work. Call on Him when you are stuck between a rock and a hard place. Then immediately start to praise Him because it is already done.
“Call to me and I will answer.” – Jeremiah 33:3 (NIV).
“When in trouble, call Him. When out of trouble, praise Him!” – Pastor Victor S. Brice
During our Sunday sermon, Pastor Brice stressed three ways to strengthen your prayer life and praise life. Through excitement – enhancement – expansion. We must get excited when praying and praising God. Be His personal cheering squad. Magnify His Holy Name – enhance. He is bigger than our sorrows, burdens, problems. Expand – increase your praise and worship of Him – be persistent. Praise Him anywhere, everywhere, at all times!
“Let us exalt his name together.” – Psalm 34:3b (KJV).
Let Him hear your voice often, regularly, with vigor, excitement, and joy. We reach out our hands when we’re in need (this is good, this is what God wants us to do). However, we must also reach up our hands and praise Him. Praise Him for all He has done and will continue to do in your life.
Again, your prayer life and your praise life both involve God. Prayer and praise work together. Encourage yourself. You may have heard the saying; “My word is bond.” Well, God’s Word is Life! God’s Word is your heartbeat. Always pray – always praise!
“Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.” – Psalm 150:6 (NIV).
