Sermon Note (2nd svc)By Pastor Lian
Psalms 8:2
Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants
You have ordained strength,
Because of Your enemies,
That You may silence the enemy and the avenger.
God has established strength in our mouth so that the enemy might be silent.
God gave us strength to destroy sickness poverty in our mouth.
Matthew 21:16
and said to Him, “Do You hear what these are saying?”
And Jesus said to them, “Yes. Have you never read,
‘Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants
You have perfected praise’? ”
When praise comes out, strength come out!
Power of praise! When someone’s praises goes up, the power of God comes down!! God’s provision comes in, and His tangible presence! He inhabits our praises! His presences comes into our situation.
God’s power comes down upon my situation!
Don’t wait for things to be perfect before u start praising God.

And Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek the Lord, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah.

2 Chronicles 20:6-8
and said: “O Lord God of our fathers, are You not God in heaven, and do You not rule over all the kingdoms of the nations, and in Your hand is there not power and might, so that no one is able to withstand You? Are You not our God, who drove out the inhabitants of this land before Your people Israel, and gave it to the descendants of Abraham Your friend forever? And they dwell in it, and have built You a sanctuary in it for Your name, saying,
Remember how our God is able. To seek the *Lord is to shout help to him, instead of complaining, cast my help upon the Lord.
When you praise the Lord, your eyes start to shift away from the problem and know Jesus is big enough to solve your problems.
When you in the midst of your problem, u just shift your eyes away from every stress. Just look up and say help. I have a God who loves me and He is for me!!

God’s battle. The victory is ours.
All we need to do is show up! We show up and God will show forth His goodness to us!
2 Chronicles 20:17
You will not need to fight in this battle. Position yourselves, stand still and see the salvation of the Lord, who is with you, O Judah and Jerusalem!’ Do not fear or be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them, for the Lord is with you.
Stand still and let the God shows His goodness.
Praise the Lord, For His Mercy Endures Forever
His mercy will never go away.

Now when they began to sing and to praise, the Lord set ambushes against the people of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; and they were defeated. For the people of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of Mount Seir to utterly kill and destroy them. And when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, they helped to destroy one another.
2 Chronicles 20:25
When Jehoshaphat and his people came to take away their spoil, they found among them an abundance of valuables on the dead bodies, and precious jewelry, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carry away; and they were three days gathering the spoil because there was so much.
Because of my problems i will get more.

When we have battle ground, God turn it into praise Ground!
