0907 赞美将门打开
与我同行在赞美的大道上，我必除去你的不信。你曾求要有更大的信心，我必应允，但这要求你凡事都要行在感恩的心态当中。亲爱的，信心与抱怨无法共存。你要么拥有极大的信心和感恩，要么充满怀疑和抱怨。选择赞美吧，你必看见你的信心增长。
与我同行在赞美的大道上，那些曾禁锢你的监狱之门将会为你豁然敞开，正如它们为保罗和西拉所成就的一样。你的赞美如同荣耀的入口，将你的心意与我的心意相连。它使你能够像我一样去思考，并以天国清晰的视角去看。赞美，在等候之中领受信心已然成就之工，它洋溢着生命，这生命不会因逆境的压制而被扼杀【归于沉默】。当为我所做的一切而欢欣，尤其在你凭天然的肉眼无法看见的时候。赞美会将你提升到更高之处；赞美会除去不信的蒙蔽。
保罗和西拉毫不畏惧，在半夜祷告并唱诗赞美神，所有其他的囚犯都在听他们的敬拜。忽然，一场巨大的地震震动了监牢的根基，霎时间，所有监牢的门一下子全都开了，所有囚犯的锁链也都松开了。——使徒行传 16:25–26
0907 Praise opens the door
Walk with me on the highway of praise, and I will remove your unbelief. You have asked for greater faith. I will grant it, but it requires that you walk in the spirit of gratitude for all things. Faith and complaining cannot live together, my beloved. You will either have great faith and gratitude, or you will have great doubt and complaining. Choose to praise, and watch as your faith increases.
Walk with me on the highway of praise, and the prison doors that have held you back will fling wide open, just as they did for Paul and Silas. Your praise is like a portal of glory that connects your will to mine. It enables you to think like me and to see with the clarity of heaven’s perspective. Praise receives the finished work of faith in the midst of waiting. It is teeming with life that is not silenced by contrary circumstances. Rejoice in all that I’m doing, especially when you cannot see it with your natural eyes. Praise will lift you higher. Praise will remove the shroud of unbelief.
Paul and Silas, undaunted, prayed in the middle of the night and sang songs of praise to God, while all the other prisoners listened to their worship. Suddenly, a great earthquake shook the foundations of the prison. All at once every prison door flung open and the chains of all the prisoners came loose. –Acts 16:25-26
