  Speaker 2: I am Sherri Mackey and it's time right now for
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: today's word.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: When praise changes the atmosphere.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Psalms 47, 5 and 6 says, God ascended amid shouts
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: of joy. The Lord amid the sounding of trumpets. Sing
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: praises to God.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Sing praises. Sing praises to our King. Sing praises.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: You know, there's something powerful about about praise praise doesn't
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: just change the words coming out of our mouth it
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: changes the atmosphere around you and the attitude within you
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: the book of psalms is filled with instructions to praise
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: god why because praise takes our attention off the problem
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: and puts it back on the one who is greater
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: than the problem Psalms 22.3 tells us that God inhabits
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: the praises of his people. In other words, when we
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: praise God, we are creating an atmosphere that welcomes his presence.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Praise reminds us that we're not facing life alone. And
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: praise doesn't always have to be loud. Sometimes praise is
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: simply saying, Lord, I thank you. Thank you for waking
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: me up this morning.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Thank you for.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: Keeping me when I didn't know I needed keeping. Thank
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: you for making a way when I couldn't see a way.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Thank you for the doors you open and even the
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: doors you've closed. Thank you for what you've already done
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: and what you're doing right now and what you're preparing
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: to do.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Sometimes praise is a song. Sometimes praise is a testimony.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: Sometimes it's telling somebody else, let me tell you what
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: God has done for me.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: And here's the beautiful thing about praise.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: You don't have to wait until everything is perfect to
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: praise God. You can praise him while you're waiting. You
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: can praise him while you're healing. You can praise him
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: while you're believing. You can praise him when you have
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: the answers and you can praise him while you're still
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: praying for the answer. Psalm 1611 says, there is fullness
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: of joy in God's presence. So when you make praise
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: a lifestyle, you position your heart to experience the joy
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: that comes from being aware of Of his presence. Hebrews 13,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: 15 calls it a sacrifice of praise. The fruit of
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: our lips give thanks to his name. Sometimes praise is
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: a sacrifice because you don't necessarily feel like praising. But
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: when you praise him anyway, you're declaring, God, my circumstances
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: do not determine who you are.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: You are still good. You are still faithful.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Faithful, you are still worthy. So today, watch your words.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: Instead of rehearsing everything that's wrong, start remembering everything that
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: God has done that's right.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Praise him in the morning. Praise him throughout the day.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Praise him before you go to bed because when you praise,
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: you remind yourself that the God who brought you through
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: yesterday is the same God who will carry you through
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: today and lead you into your tomorrow. Lord, we praise
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: you for you are fearfully and wonderfully Lord, thank you
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: for everything you've done, everything you're doing, everything you're yet
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: to do. Thank you for your goodness. Thank you for
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: your mercy. Thank you for your protection, your unfailing love.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Help us to praise you in every season, not just
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: when life is going our way, but even when.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: We're waiting for a breakthrough. In Jesus' name.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Now, that's your word for today. I want you to
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: take that, apply it to your everyday life. And you
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: continue to praise right here with me, your girl, Sherri Mackie.
