Breakthrough Fasting & Prayer

January 21, 2009 (Day Eighteen)

Psalm 118:24 is you verse for today, “This is the day the LORD has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.” At this point in your Breakthrough Fasting & Prayer you should lift up your head and rejoice before your God. You have accomplished so much with you sacrifice and your commitment to prayer. It is time to Praise the Lord! There are seven Hebrew words used throughout the Bible in relation to offering God your praise. Here is quick overview of the seven ways you can attract God’s presence to you now:

1. halal (haw-lal'); to shine; hence, to make a show, to boast; and thus to be (clamorously) foolish; to rave; causatively, to celebrate; also to stultify: 1 Chronicles 23:5 four thousand were gatekeepers, and four thousand praised the LORD with musical instruments, “which I made,” said David, “for giving praise (HALAL).”

2. yadah (yaw-daw'); literally, to use (i.e. hold out) the hand; physically, to throw (a stone, an arrow) at or away; especially to revere or worship (with extended hands); intensively, to bemoan (by wringing the hands): Genesis 29:35 And she conceived again and bore a son, and said, “Now I will praise (YADAH) the LORD.” Therefore she called his name Judah. Then she stopped bearing.

3. barak (baw-rak'); a primitive root; to kneel; by implication to bless God (as an act of adoration), and (vice-versa) man (as a benefit); also (by euphemism) to curse (God or the king, as treason): Psalm 95:6 Oh come, let us worship and bow down; Let us kneel (BARAK) before the LORD our Maker.

4. tehillah (teh-hil-law'); laudation; specifically (concretely) a hymn: KJV-- praise. Psalm 22:3 But You are holy, Enthroned in the praises (TEHILLAH) of Israel.

5. zamar (zaw-mar'); to touch the strings or parts of a musical instrument, i.e. play upon it; to make music, accompanied by the voice; hence to celebrate in song and music: KJV-- give praise, sing forth praises, psalms. Psalm 21:13 "Be Thou exalted O Lord, in Thine own strength, so will we sing and praise (ZAMAR) Thy power."

6. towdah (to-daw'); properly, an extension of the hand, i.e. (by implication) avowal, or (usually) adoration; specifically, a choir of worshippers: KJV-- confession, (sacrifice of) praise, thanks (-giving, offering). Psalm 50:14 "Offer unto God praise (TOWDAH) and pay thy vows unto the Most High"

7. shabach (shaw-bakh'); a primitive root; properly, to address in a loud tone, i.e. (specifically) loud; figuratively, to pacify (as if by words): KJV-- commend, glory, keep in, praise, still, triumph. Psalm 145:4 One generation shall praise (SHABACH) Your works to another, And shall declare Your mighty acts.
