Discover the Power of Praising God When Becky Harling was diagnosed with cancer over ten years ago, she begged God for healing. A friend of hers had another idea. She challenged Becky to spend twenty minutes a day in praise. Becky thought, What if I’m not feeling thankful? But as she intentionally praised God, she began to experience new joy—and her relationship with God has never been the same. Now, in The Thirty-Day Praise Challenge, Becky guides you in praising God for twenty minutes every day for one month. Arranged topically, the book includes music selections to enhance your praise journey and creative ideas for continuing the habit of praise. As Becky writes, “If you take this challenge, your faith will grow more than you dreamed possible. You will experience more joy, less insecurity, more courage, less anxiety. Thirty days of praising God. Are you ready?”
Allow God's infinite love to flow into your heart as you praise His holy name. This book, through the grace of God and the power of the Holy Spirit, will be hope where there is little to no hope. To give us His love when there is no love. To be the light of Christ in a world that often has darkness. To be a peacemaker where there is no peace. To give us the courage to forgive others and ourselves. We were chosen to make a difference in this world. To build up God's kingdom. It is our purpose. As you reflect upon these meditations, know that God is calling you to love His people. Will you say yes to this calling? Say yes to the Holy Spirit? You will never be sorry! You will praise God with gratitude forever and ever! Hallelujah! 365 Days of Praise is a book of meditation that will get us closer to God. Praise is an important component of building our relationship with God. We are told in Psalm 150:6, "Let everything that has breath give praise to the Lord." What is praise? It is giving glory to God for who He is. When we acknowledge that He is our Savior, our redeemer, healer, the God of hope, truth, and love, it helps us get in His presence. Our heart and soul begin to be joyous and find peace that "passes all understanding." Praise is the greatest form of prayer. Jesus taught us praise by teaching us to say, "Our father who art in heaven, hallowed by thy name." Each day as you read 365 Days of Praise you will reflect upon how much God loves us, how He wants to heal us, and how praise is an important element of that healing.

In the year 2020, the coronavirus (COVID-19) hit the entire world. The global pandemic brought things to a standstill. Countries underwent lockdown and fear crippled many for an expected second wave and the hope for vaccines. In this time of uncertainty, where everything seems to go contrary, and wickedness abound on the earth, praise is that which can provoke the hand of God. Most of the things happening in the world today are prophecies, that must be fulfilled as this age ends. Our attitude should be one of praise and thanksgiving, knowing that God is in control, and His hand is at work to fulfill all his purposes concerning the earth. All the promises of God find complete fulfillment in Jesus Christ. In volume 2, we continue to look through the book of Psalms. We see David, Asaph, and the sons of Korah praising the Lord, even in their desperate moments, falling back on God’s love and His promises. In this period of uncertainties, calamities, pain, fear, despair, we ought to give God thanks and always fall back on His love. He will show up in those situations when we give thanks; for we receive with thanksgiving. Let His love be the anchor for your soul; your confidence in His promises. If you have not experienced this love, I would like you to have a taste of it. It all starts with Jesus. He’s God’s love in action (John 3:16). Accept Him as your Lord and savior, and you are on your way to experiencing greater things. Each page is organized into 7 sections: 1. Date: Which comes with the month & day (e.g., April 1), week (from 14 to 26), and day (from 91 to 181). This captures what disparate groups might prefer to go with and serves as a reminder to the reader the week or day of the entire year. 2. Scripture: The verse(s) for the day is shared here with the days’ keyword in bold letter. 3. Today’s Keyword: We look into the keyword; its Hebrew (for an old testament scripture) according to Strong’s concordance. 4. Prayer & Confession: This is the column to pray through the passage and make some declarations. 5. Food for Thought: Some thoughts on the passage are shared; something to think about throughout the day; questions and exercises to do. 6. Bible Reading Plan: An optional plan to read through the bible in a year. This book adopts the historical plan (i.e., reading the books as they were historically written, according to their estimated writing date). You can do so by reading or listening. Determine to become a student of the word. God bless you as you make time to study. May the door of grace, revelation, and understanding be opened unto you. In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you… 1 Thessalonians 5:18
Everyone worships. But Jesus tells us that God is seeking a particular kind of worshiper. In True Worshipers, a seasoned pastor and musician guides readers toward a more engaging, transformative, and biblically faithful understanding of the worship God is seeking. True worship is an activity rooted in the grace of the gospel that affects every area of our lives. And while worship is more than just singing, God’s people gathering in his presence to lift their voices in song is an activity that is biblically based, historically rooted, and potentially life-changing. Thoroughly based in Scripture and filled with practical guidance, this book connects Sunday worship to the rest of our lives—helping us live as true worshipers each and every day.
Volume 3 concludes the passages in the Old Testament. We look at the last portions of the Psalms to the book of Habakkuk. One thing stands out, ‘We are in constant warfare and praise is your weapon to win the battle.’ Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, And a two-edged sword in their hand, To execute vengeance on the nations, And punishments on the peoples; To bind their kings with chains, And their nobles with fetters of iron; To execute on them the written judgment — This honor have all His saints. Praise the Lord! Psalms 149:6-9 O Lord, our Lord, How excellent is Your name in all the earth, Who have set Your glory above the heavens! Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants You have ordained strength, Because of Your enemies, That You may silence the enemy and the avenger. Psalms 8:1-2 The Christian life is one of battle, whether or not we are aware of it. The devil doesn’t like the idea that you are a Christian and will do everything possible to fight against you. But thanks be to God, He has given us tools that aren’t physical weapons, but produces physical results, for we wage war not against flesh and blood, but spiritual forces in the heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12), and so the weapons we use in our battles aren’t the weapons of the world but God’s powerful weapons to pull down every stronghold (2 Corinthians 10:4). Some of our weapons are prayer, the word of God (Eph 6:17; Heb 4:12), and praise. Ephesians 6:13-18 encourages us on the need to be prepared for battle, being strong in the Lord and His mighty power, and putting on the full armor of God. In your mouth is strength. As you speak of the works of the Lord, you silence the enemy. Teach your Children to praise the Lord, to shame the devil. In the days of Nehemiah, the workers had both tools to build and swords for battle (Nehemiah 4:17-18). We must employ both tools (the word of God and praise) in our time. We need both for a successful walk in Christ. In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you… 1 Thessalonians 5:18
"At some point in his life, Job learned to praise God during the difficult circumstances that came his way. He knew that his blessings came from God and that it was not his own ability that produced his prosperity. By directing his thoughts and his confession on God, Job's faith was increased, his thanksgiving abounded, and Satan was unable to destroy him. Do you have the kind of faith in God that produces praise through every circumstance? As children of God, we have to learn, as Job did, to cultivate that attitude of praise in our lives. 150 Days of Praise will change your life as you learn how to practice praise, bringing victory to the believer, defeat to Satan, and a greater intimacy with God." --Jelly Valimont (1st lady at Griffin First Assembly) LOVE: Our love level with God grows in moments of intimacy. Intimacy is such a warm word. It means you get close, cuddle up, and you experience each other in private ways. Intimacy with God means you climb up in His lap, He whispers sweet words, and your heart heals from wounds and pain.
