Invite God To Your Next Party!!!!
Have you ever thought about inviting God to your next party? Does that sound funny or strange to you? When you think of having a party have you ever even thought that God might want to be invited? When I save a word “party” I mean any kind of celebration. For example, birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, promotions, etc. Aren’t these the types of things we like to celebrate? This gives us a chance to kick back, turn up and let our hair down! Remember when every Friday was a party? You’ve worked all week and it’s time to hang out, relax and have a good time?
Well, I’m talking about the same type of thing. The only difference is the kind of party I’m talking about can happen every day & it should be! Now I know you must be thinking what do I have to celebrate every day? Well, have you watched your local news lately? I’m not sure about how things are in the city you live in, but who was killed, murdered, attacked or robbed in your neighborhood today? Was it one of your loved ones, if not, you have something to celebrate! In my neighborhood & city folks are being hurt in these streets every single day! I pray for the families who have gone through this – that God will comfort & guide them. But since I always keep it 100, I celebrate & praise God that it hasn’t happened to me. I am grateful. I know that may sound funny but it’s true. And I know you do the same thing. Let’s try this one? Do you have a nice place to live? Do you have a sound & sane mind? Or at least you say its sane right, lol! Do you have any physical handicaps? So when you think about your answers and you realize that you really are blessed, you have reason to celebrate every day. Then you should invite God to join you because He is the reason that you can celebrate because things could be worse, right?
The truth is Satan hates all of us and all of us have had some type of negative thing happen to us or we know someone who has. You may be struggling and things don’t appear to be working in your favor. Even then we have to force ourselves to celebrate what is still good in our lives, even if you have to search deep for it. Even if it’s hard to do & you don’t feel like doing it. Even if you feel like God doesn’t care about you or your situation. Let me tell you why this is so important.
Having a praise party and inviting God to celebrate any good in your life, no matter how small that good seems to be, brings God’s full power into your life to demand positive change! Now, it’s best to start this process before something tragic happens so it’s already a habit and you’ve already seen it for yourself that it works.
Here’s some additional information to get you started:
- Your praise takes you out of selfishness and puts the focus on God where it belongs – what He wants for you, His guidance, wisdom and direction. Psalms 150:2 (nkjv) – Praise Him for His mighty acts; Praise Him according to His excellent greatness!
- Your praise keeps you humble. Never forget that you can’t do anything without Him. You need Him because He is in control not you.
- Praising God at your party makes Satan back up off you & your life. Your appreciation & thanks to God blocks attacks of every demonic kind. – 2 Chronicles 20:22 (amp) – 22 When they began singing and praising, the Lord set ambushes against the sons of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; so they were struck down [in defeat].
- Your praise party keeps out complaining and negativity. The bible says to “call those things into existence that do not exist” – Romans 4:17 (amp) – …calls into being that which does not exist. Life or death is in the power of your tongue – Proverbs 18:21 (amp) – Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it and indulge it will eat its fruit and bear the consequences of their words.
- Your praise party pulls God’s goodness, blessings, and promises into your life. Your praises creates a portal for the delivery of your answered prayers – Ephesians 1:3 (esv) – 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places.
- Your praises brings you into God’s presence. He wants to be close to you. He loves you and wants you to be close to him – Psalms 22:3 – He inhabits the praises of His people.
- Your praise party refreshes & renews your soul & your spirit. You are strengthened & refueled by Gods love, peace, & joy! You recharge your batteries by being in his presence – Psalms 16:11 (cev) – 11 You have shown me the path to life, and you make me glad by being near to me. Sitting at your right side,[a] I will always be joyful.
- Your praise party opens the door for God’s power to be manifested & miracles to happen for you. God answers prayers and He has heard yours. Your praises break down the barriers that blocked the manifestation of your prayers. Paul and Silas are great examples of this in Acts 16: 25-26 (amp) – 25 But about midnight when Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns of praise to God, and the prisoners were listening to them;26 suddenly there was a great earthquake, so [powerful] that the very foundations of the prison were shaken and at once all the doors were opened and everyone’s chains were unfastened.
Remember, life is choice driven & with each new day you get another chance to choose stress and worry, or to be distracted by the demons of “busy-ness” & live focused only on worldly pressures.
Or you can choose to let God help you by letting Him direct you into the divine place that He already has set up for you so that you and your children can not only be successful in this life but have your eternity guaranteed.
So have a praise party everyday and don’t forget to invite God!!!!
