Good morning. Welcome to Victorious Faith. I’m Cherri Campbell. This morning, we’re going to continue and conclude the message I’ve been sharing with you in the last several broadcasts that I preached in one of our Victorious Faith services called Praise Brings the Victory. And if you’d like to listen to this message again in its entirety or share with your friends and family, you can go to my YouTube channel, which is under my name, Cherri Campbell. C-H-E-R-R-I Campbell, C-A-M-P-B-E-L-L. And there in the top category called radio broadcasts, you will see this message called praise brings the victory. Now join me in our live service for the conclusion of this message. Praise brings the victory. God inhabits praise. Psalm 100 verse 4 says we enter his gates with thanksgiving. We enter his courts with praise. Praise will bring you into the presence of God. But also when you praise, God comes into your presence. God inhabits the praise of his people. God inhabits our praises. So we enter into his presence, but then he also comes into our presence. He will come into our situation. He will come into our body. He will come into our spirit, our soul. He will come into our finances. When we praise, God inhabits our praises. And it brings the presence and the power of God into our situation, just like it did Jesus himself. So as Jesus was in hell and he praised God and it brought him out, we can also praise God and it will bring us out of any situation. And because it brings God into that situation and it defeats the enemy in that situation and it brings us out. Hallelujah. It just defeats the enemy. And there’s a prophetic word I read in this partner letter. Where God said, close yourself up and praise me with the shout. This is a word from the Lord that God was giving. Close yourself up and praise me with the shout. And dance before me like David did. And the Lord says, I will take care of everything. The Lord said, I will take care of everything. Close yourself up. Praise me with the shout. Dance before me like David did. And I will take care of everything. So we see that praise brings the victory. Praise brings the victory in any situation. I also want you to see, and I’ll let you turn to this one. I’ve not had you turning because I was just going fast. But go to Psalm 67. Praise brings the harvest. If you’re believing for a harvest, praise brings the harvest. Psalm 67. Psalm 67 verses 5 and 6. May the peoples praise you, O God. May all the peoples praise you. Then the land will yield its harvest. And God, our God, will bless us. Praise brings the harvest. So you’re believing for a harvest. We’re all believing for harvest. Praise him. Let all the people praise him. Then the land will yield its harvest. And God, our God, will bless us. So there we see praise brings the harvest. Hallelujah. Praise the Lord. And then last of all, praise brings joy. And the joy of the Lord is our strength. So there is strength in praise. There is actually then healing for the body in praise. In Nehemiah 8.10, the joy of the Lord is, is your strength. Proverbs 17, 22, a joyful heart is good medicine. And joy comes through praise because you enter his presence, you enter into his gates with thanksgiving, you enter into his courts with praise. And then joy, In Psalm 1611, in your presence is fullness of joy. In your presence is fullness of joy. So if you need the joy of the Lord, you need to enter into his presence. But the way you get in is through praise. You enter through praise. And also there’s something about giving the shout out. Many times you may start just by making a decision. Okay, I’m going to shout, praise the Lord. And you don’t feel the joy. But if you just keep doing it and you dance and you say, praise the Lord. Hallelujah. We’ve got the victory. You know, praising like you’ve got that big check or praising like you’ve got that thing you’re believing for before you see it. But you start praising. It will produce joy. The joy comes as a fruit of the praise. And so you don’t wait for joy. No, you start praising and the joy will be the fruit of your praise. Hallelujah. And then that joy and that praise is strength. Well, actually, as we said in Psalm 82, you have ordained praise, you have ordained strength. So it shows that praise was strength, but also the joy of the Lord is your strength, right? And so you enter into praise and you receive the joy of the Lord. The joy becomes your strength. And then that is one of the keys to standing. And you keep standing and praising and standing and praising. And how can you keep standing? Because you keep praising. You can keep standing when you keep praising because the praising will be the strength that you need to keep standing. Now, I wanted to show you just a few scriptures real quickly. Go to Habakkuk chapter 3. Habakkuk chapter 3. If you remember, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk. It’s after Nahum. Before Zephaniah. Chapter 3. Verses 17 and 18 and 19, though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food and there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls. Yet I will rejoice in the Lord. I will be joyful in God, my savior. The sovereign Lord is my strength and he makes my feet like the feet of a deer. We praise God no matter what the circumstances look like because we have the faith that those circumstances are changing. We have the faith that they’re changing. So we praise God no matter what things look like. I mean, that’s Paul and Silas in jail. They were praising God no matter what situation they were in because they knew the power of God. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. And so we just keep praising and praising. And then you praise him. Okay. Some of the things I talked about how to praise. And you celebrate, celebrate things. And what are you praising for? Praising God for things you’re thankful for. Thank you, Lord, for my life. Thank you, Lord, for this day. Thank you for the blue sky. Thank you for the clouds. Thank you for the sunshine. Thank you for the birds that are singing. Thank you for running water. Thank you for electricity. Thank you for a bed to sleep in. You know, and I think of that so many times because of times of not having those things. And thank you, Lord. You can thank the Lord for your salvation. As it says in Isaiah 61 10, I delight greatly in the Lord. My soul rejoices in God for he has clothed me in the garments of salvation. You praise him for his works. You praise him for his attributes. You praise him for his word. You praise him for who he is. Hallelujah. It’s not hard to find things to praise him for. If we are just willing to look, if you just focus on a problem and you don’t say anything about the problem, you think, well, I can’t think of anything to praise him for. Well, then you’re just not looking around you because there’s a lot to be thankful for and praising him for. And as we just live a life of praise, it will also produce for us victory after victory. Yeah. It is a spiritual weapon that is powerful. Satan is afraid of it. It strikes terror, fear and confusion into the kingdom of darkness, into the kingdom of darkness. Hallelujah. Amen. Praise God. Well, let’s all stand up. Hallelujah. Father, we just thank you and praise you for the revelation that you have given us, that we have power through praise. And Lord, I believe that there are some here and also those that will listen later that their key to their victory is praise. Praising will break them through into their victory into their harvest and father. I thank you. We just give you all the praise father. You are so worthy Lord. You are worthy. You are good. You are righteous. You are just you are loving you are merciful and You are compassionate. You are gracious. You are our God, our Father. You are our healer, our provider. You are our strength, our banner, our victory. Hallelujah. Lord, you are our shepherd and our shelter. Lord, you have won for us the victory already. And Jesus, you are the lamb that was slain. And by your blood, you have purchased men for God from every tribe and tongue and kindred and people. And we praise you for your life and your love and your sacrifice and your blood. We thank you, Lord, for your word, which is eternal. We praise you, Lord, for your spirit, which you have baptized us with. We praise you. We praise you. We praise you, Father. We praise you for your promises. We praise you for the victory. We praise you for the ages and ages to come. In which we will reign and rule forever with you. That we will be able to enter into the exceeding glory. And Father, we praise you. No matter what it looks like in life. We know it is but a moment. It is but a breath. And it is working for us in eternal glory. And we thank you, Father. We just do give you all the praise. and all the glory and all the honor. And Lord, we fill our hearts with praise. We fill our mouths with praise. Help each one to remember just to spend time each day praising you. And we will see such strength and such power and such victory as we use such a powerful weapon that you commanded the Israelites to use. to do it regularly. And so we are also entering into this power of your spirit through praise. And we thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Give you all the praise and glory and honor in Jesus name. And everyone said, Amen.
