Worship and Spiritual Warfare

BIBLE VERSE: Hebrews 12:28–29 
Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe, for our God is a consuming fire.

Most Christians think of worship as something we do as we come together on Sunday morning. We've learned that worship helps us endure trials and empowers us for witnessing. 
However did you know that worship aids us in spiritual warfare as well? The worship and praise of Almighty God gives us victory over the enemy.

In the OT, the people of God learned that worship and warfare went hand in hand. Over and over we read of situations in which the people failed to worship God with their whole hearts. As a result their enemies defeated them. However, when they repented and truly worshiped God, He always gave them victory. They could not win a war without sincere worship.

Paul and Silas won the victory by singing in the depth of the Philippians prison and were freed by an earthquake. Jonah worshiped God in the belly of the great fish and was spewed up onto the shore. Also, God delivered Jehoshaphat the king of Judah and his people from the hands of their enemies through praise and worship. Worship brings victory! Truly, worship and spiritual warfare go hand in hand.

Worship focuses Us on the Lord. 
Worship brings about the Victory. It worked for Israel, It worked for Peter…It worked for Paul and Silas…It will work for us!!!

Are you struggling in your spiritual walk?
Do you feel that your enemies are about to overcome you?
Whatever our need…we need to worship.
Victory will come when we worship Christ!

But those who wait upon the LORD will renew their strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not faint. [Isaiah 40:31]

SAY THIS: I will bless the LORD at all times, and his praise shall continually be in my mouth.

God bless you for reading. And please don't forget to share to bless others.
