Praises to the Lord

Be enthroned.....on the praises of a thousand generations, Jesus you are worthy, Lord of all.

This is a line in a song by Jeremy Riddle.

What I see in my mind's eye is this: Thousands and thousands of people, standing and praising Jesus for a thousand generations. Singing their praises from their hearts and glorify the Father in Heaven. This picture brings me to my knees. Just imagine the joy and love that is displayed in a moment such as this.

Being united by one thing: Praising our God who is the Creator of everything, Praising Jesus for what He has done for us. Praising God for who He is. Wow, just writing this melts my heart.

Praise the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens. Praise him for his acts of power; praise him for his surpassing greatness. Psalm 150:1-2

So many times in the Bible can we see people praising Jesus for all the wonderful deeds he has done. The ones who have been healed, delivered and restored had come in contact with the Love of God throuh Jesus' deeds.

When we are truly set free from disease, suffering and hardship how can we not live a life of Praise and Worship toward the One who has done this for us?
I remember when I first came to Pittsburgh, having a hard time adjusting and having been dropped into a situation of uncertainty. When we finally moved into a small one bedroom apartment, I found myself overwhelmed with fear and anxiety of the future. This fear became so strong one day that I had symptoms of a heart attack. There, I was all alone in my kitchen. Couldn't breathe, couldn't speak and thought this is it. I am dying.
All I could do is cry out to God in my heart. Then it happened, this feeling of a huge blockage in my chest disappeared in an instance. Gone!
I took a deep breath and knew, God did this. He delivered me. He saved me and set me free from this attack. Halleluliah

After that, I literally spent days, weeks telling almost everyone I came across what God has done for me. Just imagine that for a minute, being overjoyed with excitement.

......but the crowds learned about it and followed him. He welcomed them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and healed those who needed healing. Luke 9:11 

.......and healing every disease and sickness among the people. Matthew 4:23

Praising God as true worshipper is one who intimately knows God and the by the healing power through Jesus is thankful for it.

Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. John 4:23

Once again, our Father is a good, good Father and He desires our praise and worship to connect us closer with Him. In the end for our own sake. When our hearts truly worship the one who has created us, then we are able to receive ALL that He has for us.

I for one, are very, very thankful for all the healing I have received so far. And only God was able to give this to me, without surgery, without heavy medication. Not that I see anything wrong with either. Doctors are a gift to us. But in my case, I did not need either.

Leaving you once again today with my prayer for us: to become transformed in any possible way. Healed and prosperous. Father, we thank you today for ALL that You have for us to receive and ALL that You are for us.

Arrivederci......until next time.
