We should praise God in the midst of problems

God is able to solve the difficulty in the best way, as long as we can deliver all the burdens to him, and continue to praise and adore him despite what you are living, despite the trials, despite a mourning, of the absence. He is sovereign if you take him into account, perhaps taking the focus of this type of praise is not in the battle, not in the enemy, but in God who is the solution.

Meditate: When we praise God, he does not tell him how his response should come, on the contrary when you are able to confess the supremacy of God for praise, the faith you have as a believer increases anger at the level of his manifestation, and he provides the solution

The scriptures show us the character of God. He is great, holy, just, fearful, wise, creative. He is among different qualities; omnipresent (it is everywhere); omniscient (he knows everything); the almighty, infinite and eternal ... but it is also, currently for the believers, understood children a loving, tender and kind father.

Expressing its attributes would be endless would be missing space and time, make a description of each text of the biblical scriptures that tells us who he is would take us one more book. God is Worthy to receive all the glory and adoration. When we study the perfect character of our God, it turns out to be simple and motivating to praise him every day voluntarily and not as a requirement or mandate that we have to fulfill. Once it reveals itself to us it comes out spontaneously, it turns out to be as important as breathing the oxygen to be able to live.

Why should we praise God?
Because the main purpose of creating us was to praise him. Jeremiah describes it in a specific context when God makes the call to his people, and states it like this:

"For as the girdle is joined to the loins of man, so have I gathered all the house of Israel and all the house of Judah together, says the LORD, that they might go to me for a people, and for fame, for praise and for honor; but they did not listen. "Jeremiah 13:11

In the new testament we find that Peter declares: "that they may announce the virtues of him who called them out of darkness into his marvelous light." 1 Peter 2: 9.

How much time should we praise him, adore him and who should do it?
We will do it from today and forever. All heaven must do it: from the children of God, to the angels, the birds, and everything created by him.

"And whenever those living beings give glory and honor and thanksgiving to him who sits on the throne, to whom he lives for ever and ever, the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne, and worship the who lives for ever and ever, and they cast their crowns before the throne, saying: Lord, you are worthy to receive glory and honor and power; because you created all things, and by your will they exist and were created.

We can see that in the sky instruments are played, they make new songs and they adore with a great voice. Therefore what we do here is like a training of what we will do in heaven. Yes Why praise and worship is a ministry (or service)

First of all we must know that when we praise God we are serving him as the principal and important for us. Singing praises is an idea of ​​God, it is a prophetic commandment, to start singing in the temple, since it was the direction God gave to David. And since then it must be carried out as an important occupation in the congregation premises.

When praise is put into practice we can see great victories, praise gladdens the heart of God, and we see how his spirit manifests. Miracles, healings, signs and wonders happen. It is like that father who listens with complacency when his children boast of him. With words as simple as for example: "Cute dad how wonderful you are"; "Daddy, you are my everything!" ... the father's heart is shaken with happiness and he will do anything for that son who recognizes him with his adoration.

You have to know that whatever the situation you may be living, keep in mind that the most important thing is to become a child in the faith, you should praise the father in all his expression. Recognize you as great and powerful to solve your problems, trust and believe in its magnificence. You will be surprised at the miracles that happen because of the great power that manifests itself in the midst of praising God!

Biblical characteristics: Praise and adoration to God.

1.-Thanksgiving
We must have a grateful spirit for God at all times, in the good and in the bad. And show it tirelessly.

"Enter through their gates with thanksgiving, through their courts with praise; Praise him, bless his name. "Psalms 100.4" Give thanks in all things, for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus. "1 Thessalonians 5:18

2.-The singing

Regardless of the voice, we must have a singing spirit to traffic their presence, the song comes from the spirit and although you hear it badly in the secular, before the ears of God a pleasant melody will sound because it comes from an adoration guided by the holy spirit

"Then he put a new song in my mouth, praise to our God. Many will see and fear, and will trust in the Lord. "Psalm 40: 3

3.-Praise
The praise that is not audible is that which must be visible. Praise can be manifested in two forms: spoken or expressed by movements of the body, provided they are directed correctly according to the spirit directs them. That is why the prophetic dance; it is an applied representation of praise.

In the Old Testament we find some verses of the bible that recite us of the importance of dance.

"And Miriam the prophetess, Aaron's sister, took a tambourine in her hand, and all the women went out after her with tambourines and dances." Exodus 15:20

4.-The dance

It is in physical practice that requires great value in the spiritual realm. It is essential that the abstentions produced by religion be set aside and that the whole body be used. The dance has no value in itself but the spiritual combat it can produce is valuable.

Generally, if the believer is deprived of physical actions before God, it is a sign that he could also abstain from spiritual actions before him. If the believer immobilizes the praise in the heart, it limits the movement that God wants to manifest in his midst.

5.-Clapping
Another way to praise the name of Jehovah is through applause, the movement that occurs in the spiritual realm is totally over-natural.

"Sing joy to the LORD, all the earth; Raise your voice, and clap your hands, and sing psalms. "Psalm 98: 4

6.-Shout
Glorify God, with a strong voice represents the force of war against satan and his hosts of evil. Since they detest that men praise and glorify their name.

7.-The offerings and tithes
It is one of the most important ways to worship and praise Him. When we give him what he gives us, we are expressing the faith and confidence that we have for him, as our only provider and giver. We deliver our self-sufficiency and let you know that we have nothing and nothing we are without its power. In this way we praise and adore his name.

8.-The prayer
It is fundamental to prostrate ourselves before God, and express how much we need his presence for and for everything in our life. To seek him, to ask him to find him and prayer represents a genuine way of approaching us to praise him in intimacy.

9.-Raise your hands
When we raise our hands before God we are worshiping him with our body, so that we visibly see our hands up, but in the spiritual realm, the one who rises is our spirit before his throne.

"Thus I will bless you in my life; In your name I will raise my hands. "Psalm 63: 4

Praise to God is extremely important, we must know who we worship and praise at this time. On many occasions we experience a spiritual blurring and end up worshiping earthly things, forgetting who created them. Today I invite you to fall in love with the creator God. Recognize his omnipresence, it is significant that every believer knows that God is present everywhere at once, and thus we can praise him at all times, regardless of place or context.

The greatness of God is incomparable, that is why he is worthy of all the glory and honor. God knows everything, because he was the one who created everything, there are unlimited reasons to adore him. He scrutinizes our hearts through praises to God and comes directly to his spirit, and he can discern if they come from a genuine heart.
