no life, without praise.

[endure]

i was in my prayer time today and was deeply seeking the lord.
and the Holyspirit spoke to me and said "you need to make me a throne"
and then i realised.
you cannot ask an almighty God who lives in heavon where there is all glory, honor and praise and who clothed in majesty and glory, to come to your prayer and place and sit on a box or an upside down bucket, or some disheveled chair.

we must build him a throne, we must make him a house, a dwelling place, that is fit for almighty God, a place were he comes and dwells with us and has sweet communion with us and where we can finally see almighty God. that is one of my hearts passions, to see him and know him. to know the greatness of his glory! praise God!

we must build him a throne, but i am not speaking of a throne made of wood, or of Gold, or silver or any substance that man can craft.
but a throne made of praise.

UP IN HEAVON, GOD LIVES IN PRAISE, THE ANGELS SHOUT "HOLYYYY! HOLYYY! FOREVER AND FOREVER!
and it says THE DOOR POSTS SHAKE! heavon right now is being shaken be the great sound and noise of praise! it is like a great thunder and tulmult, HEAVON SHAKES WITH PRAISE!

if we are to ever in this life, meet with God, and make a dwelling place for him in our lives, we will have to learn to praise him.

i am inspired by the 22nd psalm

"My God my God, why has thou forsaken me?....BUT THOU ART HOLY. O THOU THAT INHABITEST THE PRAISES OF ISREAL.

MAN I LOVE THAT,
even thou sometimes it looks likes hes left us, hes done wrong, nothings working right, HES STILL HOLY, AND YOU STILL PRAISE HIM! and he lives in praise.
if we are to ever be a people of intamicy with him, we must be a people of praise.

i was in a church one time, visiting.
and when they began to praise God i noticed that no one else had there hands up, no one else was really doing anything, but i still praised God the way my heart desired to anyway and i got quite undignified, and people were offended.
now i understand that with your own relationship with him, you dont always have to have your hands up. but dont be offended by someone else doing it.

but truely he is a God that is greedy for praise, he cherishes praise, he lives in praise, and there will surely be no place in heavon for people who are not willing to get besid themselves and give him glory even when it makes you the fool, i dont care anymore, i have to give him glory, yes i cry, yes i shout, yes i jump and dance, becuase i love him and i have to give him glory.
i am filled with a passion that overflows, and if i cannot let it out, it hurts me.

I've been working on the praise aspect of things lately...I wanted to bump this thread back up.

 

[ZiSunka]

Huh! That's an interesting concept. Building God a throne of praise. That's really brilliant!

Hmm, well maybe I can say it from another perspective. I am one of those people who just am very inhibited when it comes to jumping up and dancing and such when in church. It bugs me, quite frankly I wish I were that uninhibited, but I am not. I don't think God looks more on people who jump and dance than he does to the people who worship him quietly. I don't think it is fair to say that those who do not jump and dance and wave their hands in the air have no place in heaven. We are all unique, and I think God knows just what is in the heart of every person, and that is what counts, not how much you outwardly display your worship.

Praise is so important - and being grateful.

As far as that public outwardly demonstration, it really should be up to the individual and the Lord. Each of us is so different that if we hold back from what the Lord wants from us in praise we will do the same in other areas of our life. If someone in church wants to raise their hands in praise there shouldn't be anyone to fault them for it. By the same token, if someone else doesn't they should not be faulted either.

It's a personal relationship and how that is shown differs as much as we all do.

Praise does definately not have to be a public showing. Just recognizing the beauty of the mountains, the trees, and all of Gods creation and saying "Wow! God, thanks" is praise. When walking down the street, just tell Him you love Him. That is praise. When something goes right, remember Him and tell Him thank you. When something goes wrong, remember Him and tell Him thank you for finding you worthy to have adversity and seeing you through it. Remember that He saved you and thank Him all the time. Praise can be in every act we do if we will do it for Him. God bless you all and I would like to just praise the Savior right now for all of you my brothers and sisters. While God would get me through regardless, having such wonderful Saints to talk to makes it so much of a nicer walk. Thanks God, I love you!

 

[Galadriel]

Hmm, yes, I agree one's way of praise doesn't justify him more than the next guy I suppose, it is not wrong to wave your hands in the air just as it is not wrong to not wave your hands in the air.

I too am grateful to get to talk with people such as yourselves.

amen! what a good reminder, i never quite think that appreciating nature is an act of praise, though i do it often. I often find it difficult to praise, as all i do is say "praise you Lord". It becomes a bit... dragging after one has repeated the words numerous times.

 

[Totally Transformed]

Our great God is so worthy of praise!
