I raise a hallelujah, in the presence of my enemies
I raise a hallelujah, louder than the unbelief
I raise a hallelujah, my weapon is a melody
I raise a hallelujah, heaven comes to fight for me

I'm gonna sing, in the middle of the storm
Louder and louder, you're gonna hear my praises roar
Up from the ashes, hope will arise
Death is defeated, the King is alive!

I raise a hallelujah, with everything inside of me
I raise a hallelujah, I will watch the darkness flee
I raise a hallelujah, in the middle of the mystery
I raise a hallelujah, fear you lost your hold on me!

This song by Bethel Music is one of favorites right now. I love the words! I love the reminder! I love the promises! So many of us are going through things… hard things… storms. Some of us have just gone through those things and its still fresh. Of all the craziness and all the hurt, pain, confusion, anger, and frustration how many times did you think about singing? Haha almost ridicules…

I really like this idea of singing in the middle of an attack, or in a storm… I picture the ruler of the under world covering his ears… he is being reminded that he loses.

As Christians no matter what comes our way we are victors! Even the very worst and unimaginable circumstances… we serve a God who defeated death and the grave!!! 

Think about how you respond when this stuff comes into your life… will people hear your praises roar? Or do they hear your complaints?

Begin to change the way you think about this hard stuff we deal with… look at it a different way… ask God to help you praise Him when you don’t know what the future holds.

Psalm 95:1- Come, let us praise the Lord! Let us sing for joy to God, who protects us! 

We hear so much negative every day… lets be people who let their praises roar!
