31-Day Daily Devotional on Faith August 29, 2014 Praise Your Way to Victory (Acts 16:25, 26 NKJV) But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them. Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyones chains were loosed. The power of praise in our faith-walk cannot be overemphasized. If there is anything the devil cannot stand, it is praise. When you learn to praise God when things are not looking good, you become a threat to the whole of hell. There is no better way to frustrate the enemy of your soul than to praise God. The devil always tries to keep us grumbling and complaining at midnight hour. He wants praise and gratitude to be the farthest thing from our hearts and minds. But the truth is, when you praise God at trying times, your breakthrough becomes unstoppable. Paul and Silas had this secret. They praised God at the most difficult time (Acts 16:25). Then they had a most glorious visitation. Abraham understood the same principle. He applied it so much that the Bible states that his faith was strengthened by his praise. Are you at your midnight hour? Do not grumble. Just praise the Lord of heaven. Your breakthrough is around the corner. Praise through to break through! DAILY SCRIPTURE READING: Acts 16:1-34 MY DAILY CONFESSION I am the righteousness of God and I live by faith. I have the God-kind of faith in my heart, so I please God in all my ways. I am free from fear, doubt and unbelief. I have received a precious faith from God. My faith is active and effective at all times. I walk in great faith because I pay much attention to the Word of God. I have a world-overcoming faith because I am born of God. Nothing is impossible with me because my trust is in the power of the Almighty God. I believe all the promises of God and the Word is working for me. I believe and I receive all that God has in store for me. I am not of them that draw back, but I believe to the saving of the soul. I hold on to my confession until I see my desired manifestations. Life flows continually out of my mouth. Everything around me is subject to change through the eternal Word of God in my heart and mouth. I honor God and His Word in all my ways. Therefore, I am honored in life with health, soundness and all- round prosperity. I have the spiritual attitude of faith. I am always quick to believe the Word and my life is full of good results.
