Summary

Have you been feeling like your witness isn't very effective? Have you been inconsistent with your time of Bible study or prayer? Serving God always and everywhere is not easy, but Dr. Michael Youssef says that praise can help. Dr. Youssef describes praise as "the fuel that makes us effective." Praise creates a stronger desire for God and enables us to serve Him and to trust Him more completely. Praise improves your prayer life, and it helps you to overcome Satan and the challenges you're facing.

0:00.0	In the last message, we saw how God is present everywhere. He's omnipresent, but God's specially present
0:07.3	in a unique way, as we saw from Psalm 22, in the life of a praise-filled believer.
0:15.3	Today, I want to show you how the praise-filled life can change us and can change us for good. Why am I saying this? Listen carefully.
0:26.9	Because praising God is the one thing that you and I will do that lines us up with the courts of
0:33.6	heaven. One thing that we do that puts us in the same posture as the angels of heaven.
0:41.0	Praiseing God is the one thing we do here on earth that puts us in agreement with what's going on
0:48.5	in heaven. Revelation 512 tells us that in heaven they are constantly praising Jesus and saying,
0:57.2	Worthy is the Lamb who was slain to receive power, wealth, wisdom, strength, honor, and glory, and praise.
1:05.7	You see, the angels and the believers who have gone ahead of us, all the believers are gone ahead of us.
1:12.2	Right now, with the angels, are praising Jesus.

1:38.3	Our praises to God will never die with us. They'll never die. Here's the thing that troubles me the most. It's a sad thing, and I'm sure it troubles you.
1:49.3	All this greatest lie that's perpetuated in our culture and our society, particularly in the West, you see it in the movies, on television.
1:57.1	That everyone, when they die, they all go to heaven. I want to say, wait a minute, they can't spend two minutes of praising Jesus here on earth.
2:06.0	How in the world are they going to praise him 24-7?
2:10.1	Just think about the logic of that.
2:13.5	Listen, I want to be up front with you.
2:14.9	I always am.
