I Won’t Break My Rhythm!
I will not break my rhythm of praise, my strong, regular, repeated pattern of praise and absolute confidence in the Lord,—no matter what I hear said about me…no matter how people may look at me, no mater what happens—I WILL KEEP MY rhythm of Praise!
There is Power in Praise
Are you aware that you have a god-given privilege to praise Him as much as you can? And furthermore, you can be as emotional as you want to be, while doing it?
This is the way it works: While you are praising the Lord, He is fighting your battle in the heavenlies. He is dealing with the enemy. He is pulverizing the demonic powers that seek to oppress, bind and keep you from His blessings.
Your praise isn’t just an expression of your joy. It is actual warfare in the spirit realm. The angels of the Lord are stopping the adversary in his tracks! They are scattering your enemies! God’s angels absolutely do camp around and delivers us. You may not see them but they are there!
In the story of the infirmed woman, the woman’s deliverance infuriated the ruler of the synagogue, and he spoke out against her miracle. People may not like your deliverance either. It does not matter if they do not speak to you anymore, or don’t come to see you anymore, or don’t seem to understand or call you…you have been loosed by JESUS, and that gives you the right to stand straight and yet praise HIM!
Don’t pay any attention to anybody’s criticism of your deliverance. Don’t listen to their protest, their murmurings, their gossip or their attempts to rationalize what God has done in your life. Don’t let them hurt your feelings or inhibit you. Sometimes—you just have to praise God in the midst of the background noise!
So follow my example— “whatever you do….DON’T BREAK YOUR RHYTHM!”
