Praise

Matthew 21:16 And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?


Praise is a weapon a Christian can use too to offend the enemy. When the children of Israel were met with opposition with the walls of Jericho, the weapon they used to bring them down was praise. 


What is praise? Praise is lifting up God's awesomeness, fearfulness and wonder. It is glorifying God's name above all else. 


The word of God is filled with numerous examples of men of God who through praise overcame the enemy. Paul and Silas when they were imprisoned resorted to praise which resulted in their release from chains. 


Jesus quoted Psalm 8:2 which speaks of strength instead of praise. It means when we praise, we release the supernatural power and strength of God on our behalf in the midst of chaos when we use our mouths. The parallel of this is when Satan releases accusations to God's people by his mouth, Rev 12:10. We can release a lot of good into the spiritual realm with our mouths instead of complaining or accusing each other. 


If everything looks ugly on the outside, employ the weapon of praise.
