Praise is not just words; it’s an attitude. Be grateful, wear a smile, be good to people, and be passionate about your dreams. The scripture says, “Our life is a praise to God.”

  God is saying, “Quit looking to others. The favor is in you. The blessing is in you. The strength, the abundance, the power, it’s in you.” You have to call it out. It starts in your thinking.

  Get your joy back. When you have your joy, you’re showing God that you trust Him. When the enemy brings trouble, he expects you to fall apart. But when you say, “Yet will I rejoice,” you give the enemy a nervous breakdown. If he can’t steal your joy, he can’t defeat you.

  You and I, as believers, have authority in the name of Jesus. Let’s not fight battles attacking people, belittling them. Let’s attack the enemy. Let’s command the forces of darkness to go. Let’s use that shield of faith to stop the fiery darts.
