PRAISE GOES FIRST


Listen Later

This week’s message, “Praise Goes First,” is a powerful reminder that worship isn’t just something we do—it’s how we fight our battles. Before the strategy, before the breakthrough, before the miracle... praise comes first. 


In 2 Chronicles 20, Jehoshaphat faced a vast army with no clear plan—except to seek the Lord. What followed? Worshipers were placed in front of the army, singing, “Give thanks to the Lord, for His love endures forever,” and God fought on their behalf. 


This message weaves through: 

🎯 Isaiah 54 – Make room for what God is about to do. 

⚔️ 2 Chronicles 20 – Praise leads the battle. 

🔥 Acts 5 – If it's from God, nothing can stop it. 

💛 Psalm 33 – 5 reasons to praise, even in pressure. 


God’s heart is for you His word is with you His mind is on you His hand will hold you His eyes are on you Plus: 

🙌🏽 Why your posture of praise changes your position in the battle 

🛡 How praise shifts the atmosphere before the outcome shifts 

📖 Why obedience and worship must walk together No matter what you’re facing, put praise in position. 


Praise is your weapon. Praise is your response. Praise goes first.
