Daily Huddle - Tue Jun 4, 2019 Cancel With Praise

Love you all, praying for you.
 
God has good for you today!  And the devil wants to prevent it.  He too, has assignments for you today, assignments against you – to try and steal, kill and destroy – the good that God has stored up for you.  He wants to steal your faith, steal your obedience, and steal your joy.  If he can steal your faith, you won’t obey, and he can steal the joy that obedience brings.  Your enemy’s assignments are enticements.  They come against you – and they will increase if left unaddressed.  His assignments are always to have you think – other – than what God said, or who God is, or who you are in Him.    
 
God impressed upon me.  Cancel With Praise!  Use the power of praise to cancel what the enemy tries to entice you with.  The first moment that your thoughts begin to become occupied with something other than God’s Word or God’s Good.  Cancel With Praise! 
 
Do not let the first thought turn into the second thought.  The first thought of fear, Cancel With Praise. The first thought of doubt, Cancel With Praise.  The first thought of lust, Cancel With Praise.  The first thought of wishing or wanting what the world offers, Cancel With Praise.  The first thought of fret, Cancel With Praise.  The first thought of giving up, or going back, Cancel With Praise.  The old life sucked anyway, why would you ever go back!  The first thought of discouragement, which leads to despair, Cancel With Praise.  The first thought of grief, Cancel With Praise. (There is a time to mourn, and a time to dance, but grieving often goes past the proper time.  It’s how the devil entraps you.  Do not let yourself be caught in the bondage of grieving loss – let God lead you on.  You do that with the first thought, Cancel With Praise.  Put on the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness.  The first thought of greed, Cancel With Praise, the first thought of pride, or slander, or comparison, or revenge, Cancel With Praise.  The first thought of unworthiness (wow, that might be one of the devil’s favorites), Cancel With Praise!   What does the devil keep coming back to with you – what does he think is your weakness or vulnerability – it’s sometimes helpful to identify it, and then the very first thought, Cancel With Praise.  Do not let your mind even get to the second thought down the opposite path of God’s goodness.   This is a choice.  And a habit. You must be brutal in this commitment.
 
When you Cancel With Praise – it will always be the WORD -  Praise the Word!  Every time we praise God – we are really praising the Word – His Word is what has revealed Him to us, His love, His power, His nature, His authority.  Nothing is more powerful than He is – and He Loves You! 
 
When Jesus faced the devil in the wilderness, his response was always the Word of God.  When the Israelites went out to face an overwhelming force – Jehoshaphat sent the Praisers in front.  II Chronicles 20:22 As they began to sing and praise, the LORD set ambushes against the men of Ammon and Moab and Mount Seir who were invading Judah, and they were defeated…  v 24  When the men of Judah came to the place that overlooks the desert and looked toward the vast army, they saw only dead bodies lying on the ground; no one had escaped.   
 
So interesting this vast army was invading Judah (Judah itself - Yhudah - <yeh-hoo-daw> means praise – it comes from Yadah – to throw out the hand, to revere or worship with extended hands, to confess, praise, give thanksgiving)  So this vast army was invading Praise- coming against it.  Trying to subdue it.  The devil will always come against your praise – by trying to pre-occupy your mind with things other than God’s Truth, and God’s Good.  Cancel With Praise!  Don’t even let the second thought transpire.  Cancel With Praise!  Always put praise out front.  God said He inhabits the praises of His people.  When the devil comes against you – and he always does it in your mind – Cancel every assignment, every attack, with Praise.  You will see the victory in your life that God will bring.  He will do the fighting for you.  He will get up off of His throne, and utterly defeat the enemy coming against you. 
 
Praying that you will never get to the second thought of anything the devil tries to hijack, entice, or consume your mind with – that is not of God.  Praying that anything he tries, every time he tries it, you will Cancel With Praise!   Let God arise – let his enemies be scattered.  You rest secure in Him!  His love for you endures forever.  He has victory in store for the upright!  For those who put their trust in Him!  See the  PRISM Topic – PRAISE.  and also the Praise Packet - It will help you become skilled with this powerful weapon of Praise.  So through your own mouth - God cancels every assignment against you.   Be faithful with your Daily Call - It's victory just waiting to happen!  Your Testimony is a Praise!  that's why God said exhort one another daily!  It will help you consistently keep that habit of Praise.  It's not what you do once in a while, it's what you do consistently - that most shapes your future and lets you walk in the destiny God has prepared for you!  Hebrews 3:13 - but exhort one another daily...  Praying that you would always be sharpening someone, it's a two-way street.  God always blesses obedience.
 
Love you all,
