What power? The power to defeat the devil and unlock victory! The enemy has counted you out. He\u2019s sure you\u2019re giving up this time. He somehow feels he has you cornered. You won\u2019t get up again. You won\u2019t push through. The darkness will close in. But, then you open your mouth and this time it isn\u2019t to complain, it\u2019s to praise.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most people think praise is what you do after you get what you\u2019re believing or praying for, but that isn\u2019t true. The enemy wants to keep you from thinking about praise and thanksgiving while you\u2019re in the process of believing, because he knows it\u2019s an important key to breakthrough. Remember when Paul and Silas were locked up in the bowels of a prison? Things looked pretty grim. Most people, if found in this situation, would be begging and pleading with God to get them out, or considering all the ways they\u2019d served Him and wondering how they could possibly deserve what was happening.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead, Paul and Silas \u201cwere praying and singing hymns to God\u201d (Acts 16:25). The result? \u201cAll the prison doors flew open, and everyone\u2019s chains came loose\u201d (verse 26). All the doors. Every chain. All because of praise and thanksgiving to God. Today let\u2019s hold onto this power.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you need a breakthrough? A prison door opened? Chains to come loose? When you learn what can be accomplished in the spirit realm, you will want to activate the power of praise and thanksgiving in your life every day. Unleash the power of praise and thanksgiving with these truths.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Friday, September 9 Unleash the Power of Praise\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Then the Lord asked Satan, \u201cHave you noticed my servant Job?
