Praise is an important aspect of spiritual warfare. It is one way we battle “against the spiritual forces of of evil in the heavenly realms” (Eph. 6:12). For the battle is not ours, its the Lord’s (1 Chr. 20:15)! When David played his lyre for King Saul the tormenting evil spirits would leave (2 Sam. 16:23). When God ordered his people to begin to possess the promises in the Promised Land he said, “Let Judah (Praise) go first” (Judg. 1:2). When King Jehosophat faced a seemingly insurmountable enemy he sent the praise and worship team to the front of the battle line (1 Chr. 20:21). Children and infants praised Jesus in the temple (Matt. 21:15). A model for us all who are to have the word of Christ dwell in us richly and sing to one another with song (Col. 3:16). When the Pharisees were upset over the children singing, Jesus quoted the Psalms, “Through the praise of children and infants you have established a stronghold against your enemies” (Ps. 8:2). Praise is powerful. Join us!
