1017 借着赞美赢得胜利
歌唱赞美能带来真正的拯救，许多胜利都是通过赞美而赢得。你生命中丰盛的恩典将带给你喜乐的心和容光焕发的面容，当赞美升达我面前时，重担便得以卸下。
不要做那些只有事情按自己的心意成就之后，才肯献上赞美的人。我亲爱的，当你从你的处境中自由地赞美时，我的旨意必在你生命中成就，你所渴望的一切都将实现。信心在黑暗中也能赞美——我的仆人保罗和西拉甚至在牢狱中也赞美我，直到喜乐的声音震动大地，冲破道路。当你赞美时，连天使也会被释放。毫无保留的赞美是在地上尝到天堂的滋味，它以大能和力量迎接你的处境，使万物都归向天国的秩序。
今天，你要将你喜乐的感恩之心带来，作为你爱的祭物献给我。我将我的平安赐给你，并在你面前打开一条进入我荣耀的道路，因为你是我应许的承接者，也是我喜乐的孩子。
人人都要感谢神，因为祂是良善的，而且祂容易取悦！祂对我们的温柔慈爱永远长存！要感谢神，我们的万神之王！祂对我们的温柔慈爱永远长存！要感谢我们的万主之主！祂对我们的温柔慈爱永远长存！要感谢这位独行奇事的神！祂对我们的温柔慈爱永远长存！——诗篇 136:1–4
1017 Victories are won through praise
Singing praises will bring deliverance into reality. Many are the victories that have been won by praise. The overflow of grace in your life will bring you a merry heart and a cheerful countenance. When praises rise before me, burdens are lifted.
Do not be one of those who withhold their praise until they have their way. When you praise in freedom from your circumstances, my beloved, my will is done in your life. All that you long for will be fulfilled. Faith praises in the dark–even my servants Paul and Silas praised me in their prison cell until the sounds of joy shook the earth and broke open the way. Even the angels are released as you praise. Unrestricted praise is a taste of heaven on earth that greets your circumstances with might and power, shifting things into heavenly alignment.
This is the day to bring your joyous gratitude as your love offering to me. I give you my peace and open before you a way into my glory, for you are the heir of my promises and the child of my joy.
Let everyone thank God, for he is good, and he is easy to please! His tender love for us continues on forever! Give thanks to God, our King over all gods! His tender love for us continues on forever! Give thanks to the Lord over all lords! His tender love for us continues on forever! Give thanks to the only miracle working God! His tender love for us continues on forever! –PSALM 136:1-4
