TO RENDER SATISFACTORY PRAISE (3): LIVE IN THE FEAR OF YAHWEH
Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity: …
Habakkuk 1:13a (KJV)
For your praise to be acceptable and satisfactory, you must deal with every enmity between you and Yahweh. The same Yahweh that responds to prayer is the same One that responds to praise. If when you hide iniquity in your heart, He does not hear your prayers (see Psalms 66:18), will He now celebrate you in praise? Yahweh’s eyes cannot behold evil. This attribute of Yahweh is what provoked the Psalmist to ask: ‘Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill? He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart. He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.’ (Psalm 15:1-3) Righteousness is your gateway to enjoying any benefit from Yahweh. Since He won’t behold iniquity, your praises to Him in iniquity won’t be acceptable before Him. He couldn’t even behold His only begotten Son on the cross when He bore the sins of the whole world upon Himself, how then would He listen to you when you praise Him in sin?
Every grace of Yahweh thrives on righteousness. Praise provides an access into the presence and blessings of Yahweh; but it is righteousness that secures it. Every blessing from Yahweh requires righteousness to be released. Similarly, every principle of Yahweh produces on the platform of righteousness, which is Yahweh’s foundation (see 2 Timothy.2:19).
The price for righteousness has been fully paid. Every slavery to sin now is by the individual’s choice. The reason why Yahweh will punish any believer in HaMashiach that continues in sin is because it is his choice to sin. Jesus already fully paid the price for sin, hence the Bible tells us: ‘For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.’(Romans 6:14). If you were helpless against sin, it would be wicked for Yahweh to punish you for what you are not capable of controlling. But the victory over sin was accomplished two thousand years ago on Calvary! So, if you are in adultery today, it is because you choose to remain in it. You are not helpless against sin. It is your choice to steal, that is why you stole. I would like you to see the subject of sin as a choice. Only then can you exercise dominion over it. Every sin you commit after you have accepted HaMashiach is purely by choice. Satan is not to be blamed and neither is the circumstance you find yourself.
So look at that thing that is trying to lure you away from your Father’s house and say to it, “I have the final say, Satan shut up!” New birth turns your helplessness into helpfulness. It makes you a man of choice. New creation makes you a creature of choice. You have escaped the kingdom of darkness and are now resident in the kingdom of His own dear Son (see Colossians. 1:13), the kingdom of choice, where everything that happens to you is by your choice (see Deuteronomy. 30:19). As long as you live in sin, your praise has no access to Yahweh. The melody therein is nothing but a croaking noise in the ears of Yahweh. But when you sign in for righteousness, your praise will deliver amazing results to you any day! Selah!
REMEMBER: Sin and satisfactory praise are mutually exclusive.
CONFESSION: I am the righteousness of Yahweh in Yahushua HaMashiach. I have also made my choice for righteous living, so no iniquity can fasten itself against my will. I rule over sin and unrighteousness. Halleluyah!!!
PROPHETIC RELEASE: I decree that the hold of sin and uncleanness in your life is broken today. You shall begin to experience the wonders of praise from now in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!
