LD2MS, are you?

Pray the Lord fam what it do!

So today we are going to briefly touch on a very familiar subject, and that is "PRAISE." Often times, many will only engage in this activity when things are going well or at least manageable. However, the BEST time to praise is when things are going totally, completely, absolutely, ridiculously OUT OF CONTROL. You know when things are so beyond words that they are simply stupid! That's the best time to praise God because first, it reveals your true level of faith and commitment to the word of God and secondly, it confuses your devils. Many would argue the natural response to problems are anger, frustration or sadness. But the moment we shift into praise, an extraordinary response, we declare victory over that situation. It takes a radical, extraordinary response to receive radical, ridiculous results! The enemy desires us to embrace those other reactions because they all are catalyst for further negative responses. The enemy's assignment is to kill, steal and destroy (john 10:10) therefore, he has a Bobby Seale (black panther party) response: "any means necessary!"

I dare you the very next time you are faced with what seems to be a stumbling block to shift into praising God for what He has already worked out and what you know with certainty He will work out because He is true to His word. Too many times we engage in unnecessary "emotional" dramatics, when the proper response is praise. Think back to all of the times you kicked, screamed, cursed, took a drink/smoke all to see a victorious outcome in the end. Any response other than praise simply depayed your perfect ending. The bible says that the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but MIGHTY in POWER for the pulling down of strongholds. 2 Cor 10:4 (emphasis mine) Each time we utilize our weapon which is PRAISE, we pull down every trick and scheme of the enemy which has acted as strongholds in our lives. The scripture doesn't suggest praise to be a cute response, it says that's it MIGHTY IN POWER which means that sometimes we have to get "crunk" for lack of a better term to defeat our adversary! Make your last challenge the last using anything other than praising the name of Jesus as your response. As you mention the very name of Jesus Christ EVERY knee MUST bow and tongue confess that He is king of kings and Lord of all! This is why the enemy wants us to respond in other ways because He knows once the name is spoken it grows legs with feet and kicks him in the butt! LOL! This blog has gotten me excited, can you tell? As a matter of fact LOL doesn't due justice, let's create one in which we, the kingdom folks will use when we refer to our father. Let's go with LD2MS Laughing Down 2 My Soul.....whatcha think???

Alright fam, I feel victory in my future and I know you do to, and if you don't you will!!

CHALL........LD2MS
