1017 藉着讚美贏得勝利
歌唱讚美能帶來真正的拯救，許多勝利都是通過讚美而贏得。你生命中豐盛的恩典將帶給你喜樂的心和容光煥發的面容，當讚美升達我面前時，重擔便得以卸下。
不要做那些只有事情按自己的心意成就之後，才肯獻上讚美的人。我親愛的，當你從你的處境中自由地讚美時，我的旨意必在你生命中成就，你所渴望的一切都將實現。信心在黑暗中也能讚美——我的僕人保羅和西拉甚至在牢獄中也讚美我，直到喜樂的聲音震動大地，衝破道路。當你讚美時，連天使也會被釋放。毫無保留的讚美是在地上嘗到天堂的滋味，它以大能和力量迎接你的處境，使萬物都歸向天國的秩序。
今天，你要將你喜樂的感恩之心帶來，作為你愛的祭物獻給我。我將我的平安賜給你，並在你面前打開一條進入我榮耀的道路，因為你是我應許的承接者，也是我喜樂的孩子。
人人都要感謝神，因為祂是良善的，而且祂容易取悅！祂對我們的溫柔慈愛永遠長存！要感謝神，我們的萬神之王！祂對我們的溫柔慈愛永遠長存！要感謝我們的萬主之主！祂對我們的溫柔慈愛永遠長存！要感謝這位獨行奇事的神！祂對我們的溫柔慈愛永遠長存！——詩篇 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
