Whatever you say be prepared for your faith to be tested. In other words, do you truly believe what you're preaching? Do you truly believe in God's word like you say you do?How do you respond when you're under attack with depression, frustration, sleepless nights, hearing voices saying you're not going to make it. How do you handle being in a financial crisis? Do you respond in fear and anger? Do you worry? Responding in any of those manners gives the enemy control over your life until you change your response The enemy can spiritually see your breakthrough. He will take full advantage and discourage you to believe your prayers will not manifest. It's so easy to praise God when everything is going right and when you can tangibly feel your blessing. You can shout all day until you fall out, you can run and scream all over the church, you can speak in tongues. But the praise ceases when life hits you... When you lose a child, when you get laid off, when you're struggling financially, when a relationship or marriage ends, when you get attacked in your sleep. It's no longer praise, it's sadness, bitterness, complaining, hate, and anger. That's exactly what Satan wants is for to lose your faith and want to die. But, the devil is a liar!

God is saying, "In order to be free you're gonna have to praise Me." I wonder if I'm talking somebody who is tired of going through attack, after attack, after attack. Change the way you're responding to it and praise God. Praise is what confuses the enemy. It will leave him dumbfounded. If I find an area you're weak in and you keep responding to it I'm going to continue to attack the same area. But, when I see laughing, when I see you clapping, when I see you dancing, when I see you shouting it leaves me confused because I'm not getting the reaction that I'm wanting from you. When you praise it confuses your enemies. (2 Chronicles 20:22-23) God is about to take you to another level. Get ready, it's graduation time and you're about to be promoted!
