Be still and know that I am God. There is power in prayer but far greater power in praise. For by prayer and faith doors are opened, but by praise and worship, the great dynamics of power are set in motion. Praying for self-centered specifics is like requesting light for individual homes in various scattered places, while worship and praise of God floods the whole area with available current. God dwells in the midst of the praises of his people.
Praise is the basic way to express our faith and thus strengthen it.
Faith that is made strong is no small blessing. Praise is the voice of faith. It is faith rejoicing for victories claimed in advance. It becomes the raw material in God's hands out of which he fashions our victories. O magnify the Lord with me, And let us exalt His Name together.
