Opening Prayer -Heavenly Father, Yahuah, we come before you with hearts full of gratitude and reverence. We call upon Your mighty name, and we ask for Your Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) to move in us today. Open our hearts to receive Your word, that we may be transformed and empowered to live according to Your will. In the name of Yahusha HaMashiach, we pray, Halaleyah!
Introduction- Beloved family of Yah, there is power in our praise! Many of us underestimate the strength and authority we have when we lift up the name of Yahuah in adoration and thanksgiving. Praise is not just an expression of joy; it’s a weapon, a shield, and an act of faith. Today, we are going to explore the Halaleyah Scriptures and the traditional Bible to understand how praise can change the atmosphere of our lives, shift our situations, and draw us closer to the Most High.
Let’s turn to Tehillim (Psalms) 34:1 in the Halaleyah Scriptures-
"I will Barak (bless) Yahuah at all times; His Halal (praise) is continually in my mouth."
This verse calls us to bless Yahuah at all times—not just in the good times but also in the difficult times. When we praise, even in our trials, we are declaring that our faith is in Him alone. We are saying, "Yahuah, You are greater than my struggle. You are greater than my pain. You are the Sovereign King, and I trust You!"
Point 1- Praise as Warfare
In the Halaleyah Scriptures, 2 Chronicles 20:21-22 tells the powerful story of Jehoshaphat, who appointed singers to go before the army, singing praises to Yahuah
"Give thanks to Yahuah, for His kindness is everlasting." And when they began to sing and to praise, Yahuah set ambushes against the enemies, and they were defeated."
Family, do you see the power in that? It wasn’t swords or shields that won that battle—it was PRAISE. When we worship, when we declare the goodness of Yahuah, we invite His presence and power into our circumstances. The enemy can’t stand in the presence of Yahuah’s praise. So, when you feel surrounded by trials, don’t run—lift up your voice and say, “Halaleyah, Yahuah is greater!
Point 2- Praise Unlocks Blessings
The Bible reminds us in Philippians 4:6-7 (KJV):/
"Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."
The Halal (praise) we offer Yahuah unlocks peace and blessings in our lives. Notice how the scripture instructs us to give thanks with our prayers. When you praise, you are aligning your heart with heaven, and the peace of Yahuah, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your heart and mind.
If you're waiting on a breakthrough today, I encourage you to start thanking Yahuah in advance! Praise Him like the victory is already won. As you praise Him, He is working behind the scenes, opening doors you haven’t even seen yet. When you focus on His greatness rather than your problems, it shifts your perspective and positions you for His blessings.
Point 3- Praise is the Highest Form of Faith
Beloved, our Messiah, Yahusha, modeled this for us. In Matthew 26:30 (KJV), after the Last Supper, Yahusha and His disciples sang a hymn before heading to the Mount of Olives where Yahusha would soon be arrested and crucified. Even in the face of unimaginable suffering, Yahusha chose to lift His voice in praise.
In our darkest moments, praise declares that our faith is not in what we see, but in the eternal promises of Yahuah. When Yahusha hung on the tree for us, He knew that death would not be the end. He trusted in Yahuah’s plan and praised Him through it all. Let this be an example to us: even in our valleys, we must praise Him, for Yahuah is faithful to deliver us!

Application:
How can we incorporate praise into our daily lives?
1. Start Every Day with Praise: The Halal begins with gratitude. Before your feet hit the ground, declare, “Thank You, Yahuah, for this day. I give You glory and honor for what You are going to do today.”
2. Praise Him in the Storm: When trials come, speak the truth of Yahuah’s Word over your situation. Praise is your reminder that Yahuah is bigger than the storm. Declare, “Halaleyah, I will not be moved. Yahuah is my strength!”
3. Gather Together and Praise: In the book of Acts, we see that when believers gathered, they praised Yahuah with one heart, and miracles followed. Family, don’t forsake the power of corporate worship. When we come together as the body of Yahusha and lift our praises, the presence of Yahuah dwells in our midst.
Closing Scripture-
Let us close with Tehillim (Psalms) 150:6 from the Halaleyah Scriptures-
"Let all that have breath Halal Yah. Halal Yahuah!"
Beloved, if you have breath in your lungs, then you have a reason to praise. No matter what you are going through, the Most High Yahuah is worthy of our praise. And as we lift up His name, we will see His mighty hand move in our lives.
Closing Prayer- Yahuah, we come before You, lifting up Your name in Halal. We thank You for the gift of praise and the power it holds to transform our lives. We declare that no weapon formed against us will prosper, for we are covered by Your promises. Strengthen our faith, and let our hearts be continually filled with the Halal of Your great name. We praise You for victories seen and unseen, and we trust in Your perfect will. In the name of Yahusha HaMashiach, we pray, Halaleyah! Amen.
Family, go forth today with hearts full of praise, knowing that Yahuah is with you and for you! He has given you the power to conquer, to overcome, and to walk in the victory He has already secured for you through Yahusha. Let His praise continually be in your mouth! Halaleyah!
