KEY WORDS FROM PREVIOUS TEACHING
- When you make God’s business your business God will make you His own business
and project. - If you are not ready to take or obey instructions from God you are not qualify to give
instruction to the devil and his cohorts. - The value you place on the word of God in your heart is crucial in determining how
much benefit you will get from it. - Right association will reinforce your conviction, wrong association will destroy your
conviction. - When God’s word comes to you directly it delivers you from sinning.

Praise is giving God all that is His due and giving Him room in our life to do all He
wants to do.

Praise is liken to the rain cycle (rain)
Praise is not focusing on happenings; it is focusing on God’s faithfulness.
