Garments of praise are what I am giving you. I will place them upon your shoulders so that you will not flag in zeal, not be devoid of joy, and so that My peace may be upon you. Enter into the joy of the Lord. Come into His courts with singing and with rejoicing because your hope is in the One who never fails. Hardships have come, great challenges have arisen round about you, but with one swift swing of My sword, I am able to overturn them all. This is the day when I shall perform My wonders on your behalf. All your enemies shall be scat- tered as you rise up to sing forth My praise, because there is great power in praise. It takes down the high places and causes your enemies to flee. Victory is in the name of the Lord. Though thousands may fall at your side, you will not be touched by the plague that surrounds.Many are they who walk in fear, but My counsel shall come to them and they shall be overcomers. The storms will have no negative hold on them. So rise above the circumstances. Declare My word of victory, lift My name on high, and you will see a way made for you where there seemed to be no way out. Storms of life will come, but I will deliver My people out of them all!
“Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth! Serve the Lord with gladness! Come into his presence with singing! Know that the Lord, he is God! It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name! For the Lord is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faith- fulness to all generations.” — Psalm 100:1-5
