Praise In the Presence of GodSample
Pursuit of Praise
Praise is not intended to compliment God. Some people have confessed quite candidly that praise seems like an effort to curry God’s favor by soothing or massaging His heavenly ego.
But praise is not the blind pursuit of heavenly intervention. It is an instrument of violence.
It upsets the climate that furthers life’s suffering, confusion, turmoil, and strife.
Praise destroys the atmosphere in which sickness, disease, discouragement, and futility flourish.
Praise beats out hell’s brush fires and breathes heaven’s life into death’s vacuum.
Prayer Is Invading the Impossible

About this Plan
Pastor Jack Hayford points the way to the life-changing pathway of praise. No matter how you feel, praise will shape what your experiences will become. When doubts come, praise God that His Word will never fail you. When fears taunt, praise God that His presence never leaves you. When questions arise, praise God that His wisdom holds every answer. Praise leads you to the One who assures peace beyond strife, hope beyond trial, joy beyond sorrow, and life beyond all.
