I once heard, “May our warfare come from a place of worship and rest” and there’s so much power in that statement!! The devil wants to wear us out, battling every single thing he throws at us. I’ve realized over the years just how powerful and life-giving praise & worship is when I’m in a battle. Followed by resting & waiting and holding fast to who we know God is and how He will see us through every storm. ❤

My mother experienced relief from chronic pain while praising the Lord alone at home. We're called to sing praises in our hearts to the Lord, to think on what is worthy of praise and beautiful, what is peaceful and good, and to meditate on His Word. "Whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things." Philippians 4:8 I love the account in 1 Samuel 16:23 about how the demon who tormented King Saul would flee when David played the harp for him.

I'm praying for you and for Lindsay every night in Jesus' Holy Name. Satan doesn't know who he's messing with this time, and it will end badly for him, we have to stand on our faith and fight like we've never fought before.

Wow how exciting to see that you brought Kim Walker-Smith onto the podcast. She is a powerhouse for the Lord. We’ve been HUGE Jesus Culture fans and love all of Kim’s solo worship music as well! Thank you Tony for this amazing truth….our worship IS warfare!
