Featuring: Praise Is My Weapon

“Then one of the elders said to me, ‘Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.” Revelations 5:5

At times for there to be a shift, it starts with what comes out of our mouths. When we Praise the Lord, it shifts us from being consumed by our troubles to being consumed by the one who is bigger then our troubles. It gives us an opportunity to shift our perspective. Praise is not a magic pill that wipes all our troubles away, but it is a weapon that pushes back darkness and allows one to see the Light.

 The name Judah means “praise”, and in Genesis 49:8-9, it was stated that those from the linage of Judah would be like a “lion”. A symbolize of Judah’s power is that anyone from that line would have success in battles, be brave and have leadership qualities. From this linage came many of Israel’s Kings; and the King of all Kings, Jesus. So sing praises to the one who triumphed and has already gone to battle for you.

Jesus is the Lion of Judah who won the greatest battle of all. He defeated sin, death and all the forces of evil by dying on the cross. You can trust him to help you in your battles.
