Your Praise is a Weapon
In a vision, I saw a crowd of Believers shouting and cheering and clapping their hands.
The Joy of The LORD was evident on their faces. Then the sound of the clapping of their hands suddenly turned into the sound of weapons being fired.
The picture changed into that of a mighty Army with spiritual weapons in their hands, taking down their enemy!
“Beloved. Your praise is a weapon. Your praise has been ordained to SILENCE and STILL the avenger.
The enemy comes to steal your thanksgiving, worship, and praise. When he steals your praise, he disarms you of a precious weapon, My Child.
Praise is an act of Faith, agreeing with My Word. When praise and My Word are in your mouth, My two-edged Sword is in your hand.
I AM appointing you this day, singers and praisers and worshipers to go before My mighty end-time Army.
No more sighs of defeat, Beloved. No more tears of frustration and fear. I AM calling you to be on the front lines.
The weapons of your warfare are not of flesh and blood, but they are mighty through your God for the pulling down of strongholds.
Fear not. Arise, My Love, in My Strength and in the power of My Might. Go to the enemy and proclaim that The LORD of Hosts has sent you and that you have come in My Name.
Shout unto your God with the Voice of Triumph. It will be My Voice the enemy hears thundering across the land.
Surely I tell you, your enemies shall bow down and utterly fall. Return to your Stronghold, you prisoners of hope. You shall rejoice in your inheritance with a DOUBLE portion and obtain the victory.
Weep no longer! Instead of your shame you will receive a double portion, and instead of disgrace you will rejoice in your inheritance.
So lift your voice in joyful shouting and clap your hands, My Warrior Bride! The Lion of PRAISE has triumphed! The Lion of JUDAH has prevailed! IT IS FINISHED!
You will go out with joy and be led forth with peace — the mountains and the hills will break forth into shouts of joy before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands!”
The born-again believers are not fighting in spiritual warfare to earn, gain or obtain victory over the devil, but to appropriate, enforce, defend, demonstrate or manifest the victory that Jesus Christ has already won for them and given to them through His death on the cross (Colossians 2:15, Hebrews 2:14).

JUDAH : PRAISE Derived from the Hebrew name Yehuda, Judah means “praise,” or “praised,” Genesis 29:35 (NIV) She conceived again, and when she gave birth to a son she said, “This time I will PRAISE The LORD.” So she named him JUDAH.
The word יְהוּדָה (pronounced: Yehudah) is translated as “Judah” in English Bibles. This name has a very rich meaning for both Jewish and Christian traditions. For example, in the Hebrew Bible, God called King David, who came from the tribe of Judah, “the man after My own heart” (1 Samuel 13:14). In the New Testament, Jesus, a later descendant of David, is referred to as “the Lion from the tribe of Judah” (Revelation 5:5).
The word JUDAH comes from the verb לְהודות (pronounced: Lehodot), which simply means “to thank.” In the context of the Hebrew Bible, such thanks are synonymous not just with gratitude, but with PRAISE. In fact, there was a particular sacrifice called “The Sacrifice of Thanksgiving.”
“O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph.” Psalm 47:1. .
“Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings You have ordained strength because of Your enemies, that You might still the enemy and the avenger.” Psalm 8:2.
“Judah, (Which means “PRAISE) your brothers shall praise you; Your hand shall be on the neck of your enemies; Your father’s sons shall bow down to you.” Genesis 49:8.
“But one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep. Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the scroll and to loose its seven seals.”” Revelation 5:5.
“All my enemies will be ashamed and greatly dismayed, they shall turn back, they will suddenly be ashamed.” Psalm 6:10.
“And he consulted with the people and then appointed singers for The LORD and those praising Him in holy attire as they went before those equipped for battle saying, ‘Praise The LORD, for His mercy endures forever'” 2 Chronicles 20:21.
“Let the high praises of God be in their mouths, and two-edged swords in their hands.” Psalm 149:6.
“In His right hand He held seven stars, and out of His mouth came a sharp two-edged sword; and His face was like the sun shining in its strength.” Revelation 1:16.

The key to praise is the anointing that means the Spirit of God in you witnesses with the song words or prophecy that you are hearing. There are songs words and prophesy that will come along side of your feelings depression condemnation and make you feel a connection to what ever you are hearing this is not the anointing that destroys yolks and removes burdens this just makes you feel a connection. Many songs you read the words to are definitely not anointed many words given over a pulpit preaching against what the word of God clearly displays denying the truth the same with prophecy, learning to discern the right voice, (example) when the word of God declares by His stipes you were healed that is the right voice any voice song or imagination that tries to move you off this rock is not anointed
AMEN!!!!!
