Our battles can also be won through praise. In Psalm 22:3 the word declares that God himself inhabits the praises of His people: "But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel." As we sing and praise God, we begin to feel the presence of the Lord upon us. It can also be helpful to listen to gospel music when we are fighting a spiritual battle. It will liberate our spirits, too. When we praise and bless God, we find that other people around us respond to that spirit of praise also. Conversely, when we complain and grumble, we exude that kind of spirit and drive people away from us because no one wants to be around a pessimist. Lonely people filled with self-pity have not found the key of praise in their lives. They lack the joy of the Lord and do not make good companions. As we rejoice in God, we spread a spirit of joy to others. If we complain about things, it works against us. No one wants to be around someone who causes them also to get into a bad mood. Let us all bless and praise God and conquer the enemy in this important area.
