5th Day: Praise the Lord

Woke up with a minor headache particularly on my right side. :) As usual, precious waited at the staircase for me. ;) Service was invaluable and had a meaningful time with Miow. :)

Chapter 6: Dancing and Spiritual Warfare

My Notes

-Dancing in praise is a tremendous weapon against Satan.

- Spiritual Warfare (pg 55)
It is a confrontation between classic good and evil, which begun when satan was expelled by God unto earth.

-Scriptural Warfare (pg 57-58)

i) He that commit sin is of the devil: for the devil sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the work of the devil. ( 1 John 3:8)

ii) For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: For the weapons of our warfare is not carnal, but mighty though God to the pulling down of strongholds. (2 Corinthians 10:3-4)


iii) For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places (Ephesians 6:12)

iv) We must learn to put S under our feet just like Jesus did (1 John 3:8)

v) To execute upon them the judgment written; this honour have all the saints. Praise ye the Lord (Ps 149:9) (pg 67)
- The honor of executing the Lord's judgment on these spiritual outlaws BELONGS TO US. And one of the weapons He's given us to carry the judgment out is DANCING.


Carnal
- our intelligence, popularity, influence, reasoning

Spiritual weapons
- Gods' WORD
- Our praises
- The name of Jesus
- The Blood of Jesus
- Agreement (Gods covenant with us)
- Fasting

The prayer of PRAISE releases more of Gods' power than any other form of petition.
When we are attack by S, we must pressed on with "high praises of God in our mouths to bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron".

IMPORTANT
When we begin to praise the Lord with the dance, we begin to pull down the strongholds of the enemy. When we bind the devil, we render him helpless and we can and will PREVAIL.



Spiritual Warfare
"These signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils" (Mark 16)

Satan
- He is the one who create chaos.
- All the sickness, problems were created by him.
- When we are sick, we must fight the good fight of faith and not submit it the enemy victory.
(Having done all, to stand "Ephesians 6:13)

Satan came to bring death but GOD came and still come to BRING LIFE!
I am not to submit my problems as Gods' will but to overcome with what God said is true... through His words.. !! and prayers.

==============================================================
Read Mark 16

i) What has Jesus orders us to do there?

- "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever who does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will accompanied those who believe:
In my name, they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poisons, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well" (Mark 16: 15 - 18)


ii) What kind of supernatural events does He foretell?
- We can drive out demons, speak new tongues, pick up snakes with our hands, remain unhurt from drinking poisons and heal people.

- Assess your own feelings about the supernatural. If these scare you or make you uncomfortable, ask yourself why? Write those reasons down and take them to the Lord. Ask the Holy Spirit to show you what's true here.
=> Fear of the unknown darkness and the images portray from my imaginations.
=> Don't realise that I have the authority in the name of Jesus.
=> I am wash in the blood of Jesus Christ and come with His authority. I am an image of Christ. I have Gods' image. I have the power to cast out the darkness and bring light into the situations.
=> The JOY OF THE LORD IS MY STRENGTH.

iii) Do you believe the supernatural is not for today's church?
No. It is still for todays' church.
- Pending for scripture..


iv) Take a poll from 4-5 friends who are not charismatic. Ask them what effect carrying out the Great Commission has on Satans' kingdom. Not how many do and don't mention the supernatural events? Ask them why they excluded the supernatural.
-Pending


v) What part of the Great Commission can you accomplish without the help of the Holy Spirit?
None.

My Prayer
Lord God, I want to praise you. Thank you again for this new understanding from the book.

ii) Life* Expedition Inc: Annual Dinner 2006: The Wall of Jericho


"First and foremost, I would like to honour and give credits to the creative arts ministry from America and Singapore who have inspired me with this powerful representation of the Bible from the book of "Joshua". Without them, our community will not be impacted by this production. I believed my church back in KL, HSG had also used this for evangelizing purposes. I was convicted to bring this piece to "LIVE" and I believe God wanted us to perform this "STORY" during LifeXP Annual Dinner 2006 to bring the community towards the land that God has given us."

The above description was written when I first uploaded the clip a long time ago. This brings me to realise that relationship with God and with one another is so important. Indeed, God will use his people mightily to break the chain of darkness. Indeed, when we PRAISE AND SHOUT in the name of the LORD, all stronghold shall FALL... This I believe from now on.
