Years ago in the Christian community there was a saying, \u201cPraise the Lord anyhow!\u201d<\/h6>\n
Psalm 103<\/strong> Praise the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me<\/strong>, Praise His holy name.<\/h6>\n
Not to sound \u201cchurchy\u201d or clich\u00e9, but some of those \u201cold sayings\u201d made a lot of sense.<\/h6>\n
We are to Praise the Lord, IN ALL things\u2026and in Psalm 23:4<\/strong> it says\u2026yea though I walk THROUGH the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear NO EVIL for thou art with me (KJV)<\/h6>\n
Did you get that? Walk Through<\/strong>\u2026we don\u2019t stop and camp out in our valley of despair\u2026even though at times it seems as if we are all alone\u2026as God\u2019s children he never leaves us and he never will. The enemy is the one who hisses in our thoughts and says\u2026 \u201cI\u2019m alone, no one cares, no one calls, and no one is here to help.\u201d I\u2019m blowing a trumpet here\u2026HE IS A LIAR!!<\/h6>\n
Satan is the father of lies<\/em>\u2026John 8:44<\/strong> and he knows if he can get us to thinking on ourselves and keep us in the pit of self-pity he\u2019s got us\u2026we become our own God\u2026putting ourselves before God and opening ourselves to defeat, sickness, isolation, turning our hearts inward to see our own needs and wants and soon we block the Holy Spirit\u2019s voice and all we hear is SELF talking!!<\/h6>\n
But I\u2019m here to tell you to\u2026 \u201cPraise the Lord anyhow!\u201d<\/strong><\/h6>\n
Praise him until you no longer see yourself and your own circumstances\u2026Praise him until you no longer hear Satan hiss\u2026Praise him until your eyes are lifted towards heaven and all you see is Victory\u2026Hope\u2026Love\u2026Help\u2026Peace and Truth\u2026for our help comes from the Lord the maker of heaven and earth\u2026<\/h6>\n
Look UP! See Jesus\u2026he is no longer on the cross\u2026he is no longer suffering for us\u2026He is High and lifted UP and His train Fills the Temple\u2026<\/h6>\n
See that word FILLS? When we are filled up with Him\u2026there is NO room for depression, oppression, defeat, death, lies, want, complaining, distraction, sickness, loneliness\u2026because the ROOM is filled with HIS GLORY!!! Amen<\/h6>\n
PRAISE THE LORD ANYHOW (PTLA) In every situation\u2026<\/h6>\n
Car won\u2019t start\u2026PTLA<\/h6>\n
Bills passed due\u2026PTLA<\/h6>\n
Stress from work\u2026PTLA<\/h6>\n
ALL by yourself\u2026PTLA<\/h6>\n
Kids out of control\u2026PTLA<\/h6>\n
People giving you a hard time\u2026PTLA<\/h6>\n
House won\u2019t sell\u2026PTLA<\/h6>\n
Got bad news\u2026PTLA<\/h6>\n
Tree fell on your house\u2026PTLA<\/h6>\n
Storm coming\u2026PTLA<\/h6>\n
Marriage falling apart\u2026PTLA<\/h6>\n
Depressed\u2026PTLA<\/h6>\n
Sick\u2026PTLA<\/h6>\n
Want a spouse\u2026PTLA<\/h6>\n
Want kids\u2026PTLA<\/h6>\n
Life falling apart\u2026PTLA<\/h6>\n
Whatever the challenge you are facing right now, is, just PRAISE THE LORD ANYHOW\u2026and watch the enemy run\u2026and God turn everything around for your GOOD\u2026why because you are praising the Lord anyhow<\/em><\/strong>\u2026<\/h6>\n
When Job\u2019s life was turned totally and completely upside down he lost everything he had. He lost his home, his kids, his health, his friends, his position\u2026everything\u2026<\/h6>\n
What did Job say? \u201cThough God slay me, yet will I TRUST HIM.\u201d Job 13:15<\/strong> He knew who He served and that God was faithful\u2026<\/h6>\n
After he had suffered a long<\/strong> time\u2026God saw Job\u2019s heart and it proved to the enemy just how faithful Job was to God\u2026and because of Job\u2019s love for God\u2026he was given back double the blessing\u2026Job 42:12<\/strong><\/h6>\n
I don\u2019t know what your story will be\u2026but I know that when we BLESS God\u2026and give him our heart totally and Praise him no matter what\u2026God is true to His word and he will turn the tide so that His children are blessed beyond measure\u2026<\/h6>\n
All He asks is that we Praise The Lord Anyhow!!<\/h6>\n
Praise him in, the Valley of the Shadow of Death\u2026and let God\u2019s blessing follow you all the days of your life with Goodness and Mercy.<\/h6>\n
And remember to also Praise Him when everything is going great\u2026IN ALL THINGS Praise the Lord anyhow!!<\/h6>\n

Psalm 103 New International Version (NIV)<\/strong><\/h6>\n
Psalm 103<\/strong><\/h6>\n
Of David.<\/strong><\/h6>\n
Praise the Lord, my soul;
\nall my inmost being, praise his holy name.
\nPraise the Lord, my soul,
\nand forget not all his benefits\u2014
\nwho forgives all your sins
\nand heals all your diseases,
\nwho redeems your life from the pit
\nand crowns you with love and compassion,
\nwho satisfies your desires with good things
\nso that your youth is renewed like the eagle\u2019s.<\/h6>\n
The Lord works righteousness
\nand justice for all the oppressed.<\/h6>\n
He made known his ways to Moses,
\nhis deeds to the people of Israel:
\nThe Lord is compassionate and gracious,
\nslow to anger, abounding in love.
\nHe will not always accuse,
\nnor will he harbor his anger forever;
\nhe does not treat us as our sins deserve
\nor repay us according to our iniquities.
\nFor as high as the heavens are above the earth,
\nso great is his love for those who fear him;
\nas far as the east is from the west,
\nso far has he removed our transgressions from us.<\/h6>\n
As a father has compassion on his children,
\nso the Lord has compassion on those who fear him;
\nfor he knows how we are formed,
\nhe remembers that we are dust.
\nThe life of mortals is like grass,
\nthey flourish like a flower of the field;
\nthe wind blows over it and it is gone,
\nand its place remembers it no more.
\nBut from everlasting to everlasting
\nthe Lord\u2019s love is with those who fear him,
\nand his righteousness with their children\u2019s children\u2014
\nwith those who keep his covenant
\nand remember to obey his precepts.<\/h6>\n
The Lord has established his throne in heaven,
\nand his kingdom rules over all.<\/h6>\n
Praise the Lord, you his angels,
\nyou mighty ones who do his bidding,
\nwho obey his word.
\nPraise the Lord, all his heavenly hosts,
\nyou his servants who do his will.
\nPraise the Lord, all his works
\neverywhere in his dominion.<\/h6>\n
Praise the Lord, my soul.<\/h6>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
