The force of praise is one that will lift you to the highest heights, see you through the darkest of times, and ultimately cause you to rest in the very Presence of God. Therefore, as believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, let us determine to use this mighty weapon of warfare (ll Corinthians 10:4). For then we will be able to lay hold of the surpassing victories that are ours in Christ Jesus. I pray that this study will awaken the power of praise that is within you and take you to a deeper level of intimacy with our God that can only be born from a heart of a praiser.  So prayerfully search the Scriptures and answer the questions in your own words.
