Listen to “Effects of Praise” on Spreaker.
Commands to praise or be thankful: Sacrifices of thanksgiving were commanded for the Israelites: Levicitus 7:12-15, but He wanted it to be from their own free will (Lev 22:29) * Deut 10:20-21: “You shall fear the Lord your God; you shall serve Him, and to Him you shall hold fast, and take oaths in His name. He is your praise, and He is your God, who has done for you these great and awesome things which your eyes have seen.” * Many of the psalms are trying to stir up the speaker or the crowd to praise, vowing “I will” praise (sometime in the future), or do such-and-such, that I might praise, or (these people) will praise, or saying “let me” or “let [some third party]” praise the Lord, as if asking for God’s help in doing it, in addition to actually praising God: + Psalm 9:11: “Sing praises to the Lord, who dwells in Zion! Declare His deeds among the people.” + Psalm 29:1: “Give unto the Lord, O you mighty ones, Give unto the Lord glory and strength.” + Psalm 30:4: “Sing praise to the Lord, you saints of His, And give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name.” + Psalm 33:2: “Praise the Lord with the harp; Make melody to Him with an instrument of ten strings.” + Psalm 47:1, 6-7: “Oh, clap your hands, all you peoples! Shout to God with the voice of triumph!… Sing praises to God, sing praises! Sing praises to our King, sing praises! For God is the King of all the earth; Sing praises with understanding.” + Psalm 66:1-2, 8: “Make a joyful shout to God, all the earth! Sing out the honor of His name; Make His praise glorious…. Oh, bless our God, you peoples! And make the voice of His praise to be heard.” + Psalm 68:4, 32: “Sing to God, sing praises to His name; Extol Him who rides on the clouds, By His name Yah, And rejoice before Him… Sing to God, you kingdoms of the earth; Oh, sing praises to the Lord, Selah“ + Psalm 98:4: “Shout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth; Break forth in song, rejoice, and sing praises.” + Psalm 100:4: “Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.” + Psalm 117:1: “Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles! Laud Him, all you peoples!” * Romans 15:11: “Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles! Laud Him, all you peoples!” * 2 Cor 2:14: “Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place.” * 2 Cor 4:15: “For all things are for your sakes, that grace, having spread through the many, may cause thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.” * We should bring praise to God (when people see us): Eph 1:11-12: “In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will, that we who first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His glory.” + The Holy Spirit in us is to the praise of His glory: Eph 1:13-14 + When we bear fruits of righteousness, it is to God’s glory and praise: Phil 1:11 + Our faith brings praise to God: 1 Peter 1:7 * Eph 5:20: “giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.” * Col 3:15: “And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.” * Col 4:2: “Continue earnestly in prayer, being vigilant in it with thanksgiving“ * 1 Thess 5:18: “in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” * 1 Tim 2:1: “Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men,” * 1 Tim 4:4: “For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be refused if it is received with thanksgiving;” * Heb 13:15: “Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name.” * 1 Peter 2:9: “But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.” * Rev 7:12: “Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom, Thanksgiving and honor and power and might, Be to our God forever and ever. Amen.” * Rev 19:5: “Then a voice came from the throne, saying, “Praise* our God, all you His servants and those who fear Him, both small and great!”
Effects of thanksgiving: It was a battle strategy a at least once, when Jehoshaphat sent out the worshippers in the front lines of battle: 2 Chronicles 20:1-30 * It led to a prison break at least once, when Paul and Silas were singing to God, triggering an earthquake: Acts 16:25-34 * It leads to peace: Phil 4:6-7: “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” * It’s how we abound in faith: Col 2:6-7: “As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving*.”
Examples of thankfulness: Moses’ song after God parts the Red Sea: Exodus 15:1-18, and Miriam’s, Ex 15:21 – to memorialize it. It’s like a poetic retelling of what just happened. * Deborah’s song after their defeat of Sisera: Judges 5:1-31 * Hannah’s song after she bears Samuel: 1 Samuel 2:1-10 * David’s psalm when God makes a covenant with his line: 2 Sam 7:18-29 * David appointed singers to rejoice as the ark returned from the Philistines, and he was dancing himself with all his might (2 Sam 6:12-23 and 1 Chron 15:16-29). * David after his mighty men killed the last of the Philistine giants: 2 Sam 22:1-51 (also Psalm 18). + David set aside a company of men appointed just for worship: 1 Chronicles 25, and also made them their instruments for that purpose: 1 Chron 23:5 (and they still used them during Solomon’s reign, 2 Chron 7:6), and they did it morning and evening every day: 1 Chron 23:30. - Solomon followed suit (2 Chron 8:14). - Later Hezekiah reinstituted temple worship according to David’s pattern, even using the instruments he had made (2 Chron 29:20-36), and reinstituted Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread with accompanying praise (2 Chron 30:21). + David’s psalm at the end of his reign: 1 Chron 29:10-15 + The Levites rejoice when the ark is brought into the new temple: 2 Chron 5:13 + The people of Israel in response to the glory of the Lord in the new temple: 2 Chron 7:3 + Most of the psalms: 7:17, 9:1-2, 14, 18:3, 49, 21:13, 22:3, 22-26, 26:7, 27:6, 28:7, 30:4, 30:12, 33:1, 34:1, 35:18, 28, 40:3, 42:5, 11, 43:4-5, 44:8, 45:17, 50:14, 51:15, 52:9, 54:6, 56:4, 12, 57:7, 57:9, 59:17, 61:8, 63:3, 5, 69:30, 34, 71:6, 8, 14, 22, 72:15, 75:1, 9, 78:4, 79:13, 86:12, 89:5, 92:1, 95:2, 96:1, 4, 97:1, 12, 98:1, 100:1, 100:4, 101:1, 103:1, 104:1, 33, 35, 105:1, 106:1-2, 48, 107:1, 8, 15, 21, 22, 31, 108:1, 3, 109:30, 111:1, 112:1, 113:1, 3, 9, 115:18, 116:1, 17, 19, 117:12, 118:1, 19, 21, 28-29, 119:7, 62, 164, 171, 175, 135:1, 3, 21, 136:1-3, 26, 138:1-2, 139:14, 140:13, 144:9, 145:1-4, 10, 21, 146:1-2, 10, 147:1, 7, 12, 20, 148:1-5, 7, 13-14, 149:1, 3, 6, 9, 150:1-6 + Many of the major and minor prophets prophesy that Israel will rejoice when God redeems them, brings them back to the land, reveals the Messiah, in the Millennium, etc + Jeremiah prays for deliverance: Jer 17:14 and his praise that God will deliver him from those who are against him: Jer 20:13 + Daniel praises God for revealing Nebuchadnezzar’s dream: 2:23 + Nebuchadnezzar praises God: Daniel 4:34-37 + Daniel prayed and praised daily (despite opposition): Daniel 6:10 + Ezra 3:10-11: the people rejoice when the foundation of the temple is re-laid. + Nehemiah on dedication of the rebuilt temple: he commands the people to rejoice and hold a feast, not mourn at the reading of the law they haven’t kept (Nehemiah 8:10) and the Levites lead them in a psalm of praise to God and remembrance of their history: Nehemiah 9:5-38. Then Nehemiah appoints thanksgiving choirs with lots of instruments to rejoice loudly (Nehemiah 12:27-43). It’s interesting that the story is long over by this point, but several more chapters are dedicated to their thanksgiving, praise, and remembrance of Israel’s history and God’s goodness to them. + “For in the days of David and Asaph of old there were chiefs of the singers, and songs of praise* and thanksgiving to God.” Neh 12:46 – David set the standard and future generations try to recreate it + Jonah, while still in the belly of the whale: Jonah 2:9 + Mary upon being told she will bear Jesus: Luke 1:46-55. + The Samaritan leper came back to give Jesus thanks for his healing: Luke 17:16 + The blind man Jesus heals on the way to Jerusalem causes the crowd to praise: Luke 18:42-43 + The triumphal entry: Matthew 21:9, Luke 19:37-40 + The activity of heaven: Rev 4:9-10: “Whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to Him who sits on the throne, who lives forever and ever, the twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne”
What happens if you’re not thankful: Romans 1:21: “because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful*, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.” * Deut 28:47. the curses were triggered “because you didn’t serve the Lord with joyfulness and with gladness of heart for the abundance of all things”

Hermann Eben has served in various executive management roles for 40+ years in the business arena. Hermann’s world was devastated in 1991 when he received a phone call. The caller told him that his wife, Louie, was having an affair and that a package would be coming to prove the allegations. After seeing the evidence, he called his pastor, who decided it would be best for Hermann and Louie to meet with Dr. Marlin Howe to work through their relationship. The church had been using Dr. Howe’s Hope for the Family video series for about five years.
God did a fantastic thing and restored their marriage. After a couple of years of God’s blessing and healing, Hermann and Louie decided, with the approval of the church elders, to use their experience to help others. And that is what they have been doing for 30 years. With the foundation of Dr. Howe’s work and blessing, Hermann developed GR8 Relationships (www.gr8relate.com) in 2000. He and Louie have held countless weekend seminars, met with couples one-on-one, and facilitated weekly study groups. Together they are on a mission to restore marriages and relationships.

Today’s meditation comes from John 4:1-42.
Afterword:
I didn’t include this story in my “Daughters of Zion” biblical retellings (you can find that here: Daughters of Zion (Biblical Retellings) only because the theme of that book was miracles experienced by women, and not just biblical stories in which a woman was prominently featured. Otherwise, this would have been one of the big ones. The story only appears in the gospel of John, though it makes sense why John specifically would have chosen to include it. The theme of his gospel is love.
The Jews of Jesus’ day scorned Samaritans, and from a religious standpoint, it would seem that there were good reasons for this. The Samaritans were Jews who had intermarried with pagans of neighboring nations, violating God’s commandments to Joshua (Joshua 23:11-13), and falling prey to the doctrine of Balaam (from Numbers 23-24). God specifically told the Jews not to intermarry with those who worshipped other gods, lest they be led into idolatry. But when Assyria captured Samaria (2 Kings 17:5-41), the Assyrian king sent foreigners into the land who worshipped other gods. The Jews there did intermarry with them, and incorporated their pagan practices into their worship of Yahweh as well. Because of this, devout Jews wanted nothing to do with Samaritans, and wouldn’t allow them to worship at their temple. The Samaritans had thus erected their own temple for worship instead (John 4:19-20).
Even among her fellow Samaritans, though, this woman was an outcast. This is implied by the fact that she went alone to the well in the heat of the day, rather than in the morning when it was cooler, with all the other women. Her story, as Jesus revealed it, indicates the probable reason for this: her immoral behavior presumably caused the respectable women of the town to look down on her. This was probably why she was so shocked when Jesus spoke to her, even humbling himself to the point of asking her for a favor. (I’m sure He really did want a drink, though, as we’re told earlier in the story that He was weary from his journey, and it was mid-afternoon so possibly it was hot, John 4:6. The story never mentions that the woman actually gave Him a drink, so as I wrote the retelling, I kept thinking, He’s still thirsty…)
Jesus’ humility in asking the woman for a favor probably lowered her defense mechanisms initially, but I love how Jesus proceeded to dismantle whatever remained of them with just a few sentences. Every “chick flick” or “chick lit” story features an archetypical down-and-out heroine, embittered by the adversities of life. She then surreptitiously encounters a romantic hero who is the very embodiment of perfection. He’s not only handsome, confident, and kind, but also several rungs above her on the social ladder to boot–but he’s never arrogant about it. He sees through our heroine’s prickly defenses to the soft heart she’s trying to protect, and he’s absolutely taken with her. From that point on, he pursues her relentlessly, refusing to be dissuaded. Try as she might, she can’t resist him–because as frightened as she is of letting herself be vulnerable, all she’s ever wanted is for someone to look past her faults, see her for who she truly is, and love her anyway. She falls in love with him in spite of herself… and then of course they live happily ever after.
That’s how I see this story, and I think it’s how John saw it too. It’s not a romance in the human sense, and yet (as author John Eldredge would put it), it’s “The Sacred Romance,” writ small and personal–almost in allegory, though this was also a real woman, too. We are not called the Bride of Christ for nothing. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that this woman was the lowest of the low in that society, either–and yet, despite that, this woman is the first recorded person to whom Jesus overtly declares His identity as the Messiah (John 4:25-26). Of all people, He chose her to be the first to hear the news–just as later, the formerly demon-possessed Mary Magdalene was the first to see the risen Christ. (John is also the only gospel writer to explicitly record this encounter, in John 20:11-18.)
If Jesus qualified even these women, then there’s hope for all of us.

Dr Nasha Winters – Integrative Oncology
From Dr. Lauren Deville - Naturopathic Doctor
We know salvation (sozo) is by grace through faith, and a gift, not of works (Eph 2:8-9). All of the promises of God are included in that word (appearing 110 times in the NT). So we receive them all the same way–entering the rest of receiving by grace through faith–and so we are also to live, in His power (Romans 5:17, Romans 8:37, 2 Cor 13:4, 1 John 4:9) and not by our own strength.
The OT types of entering God’s rest:
– Israelites going from wilderness to Promised Land:
– God’s grace provided it, but the first generation failed to add faith (Heb 4:2). Psalm 95:7-11: God laments that they would not enter His rest because they knew His works but not His Ways, leading to an evil heart of unbelief (Heb 3:12, 19) and hardened hearts (Heb 3:15).
– So knowing His ways is the key to entering His rest. Caleb’s example: Joshua 14:7-15.
– When they did finally go in, they still had a battle (though God fought for them and promised them victory): Hebrews 4:8-10
– The type of the Sabbath:
– Hebrews 4:4, quoting Genesis 2:2
– Exo 20:11: God made this the 4th of the 10 Commandments (right after no Gods before Him, no idols, and not taking His name in vain)–so rest is key. (All the rest of the 10 Commandments were about how people were to interact with each other)
– Blessings associated with keeping the Sabbath: Isaiah 58:13-14
– The Heptadic calendar:
– Week of days – Shabbat (sabbath): the day of rest
– Week of weeks – Shavout
– Week of months – the religious year
– Week of years – the sabbatical year or the shmita year: when the land was to rest
– Seven weeks of years + 1 – Jubilee year: when slaves/captives were to go free
– Is it possible that God used the heptadic calendar, and structure throughout scripture of 7s appearing everywhere, because He intended to emphasize rest?
– But it was always just a type, not about actual works on the Sabbath: Matt 12-1-12
We can’t achieve righteousness through our own works–the harder we try, the worse we get (Romans 7:15-20). This is meant to drive us toward giving up (Romans 7:22-25) and receiving righteousness/life from the Holy Spirit, who literally imbues our bodies with it (Romans 8:1-11).
This isn’t just about righteousness, or about receiving God’s promises (2 Cor 1:20). Our “identity in Christ” also gives us the strength, energy, stamina, courage, etc to do what He has called us to do.
– We “reign in life” through Him (Romans 5:17)
– We were raised in Him to bear fruit to God (Romans 7:4). This includes love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Gal 5:22).
– You can’t bear these if you’re burned out. “contentions, outbursts of wrath” are rather fruits of the flesh (Gal 5:20) which are consistent with burnout. If the fruit is negative, we’re living from our own resources (flesh), not His (Spirit).
– We are full of goodness and complete in knowledge (Romans 15:14).
– We are enriched in every way (1 Cor 1:5).
– We have the mind of Christ (1 Cor 2:16).
– All things are ours (1 Cor 3:21).
– His power is in us (Eph 1:19) – the word eis translated for or toward can also be translated in. Also Eph 3:20
– We are competent and can be confident (2 Cor 3:4-6)
– We can serve others from God’s strength (2 Cor 13:4)
– We have every blessing in the spirit realm (Eph 1:3)
– God created good works for us to do, which we do in Christ (Eph 2:10)
– We have grace and peace in abundance (2 Pet 1:2)
– We have power, love, and self-discipline/sound mind (2 Tim 1:7)
– We have everything we need for life and godliness so that we may participate in the divine nature (2 Pet 1:3-4)
– Examples:
– 1 Cor 15:10: Paul labored from God’s grace
– Jesus still went out on the boat, but slept through the storm (Matt 8:23-27, Mark 4:35-41, Luke 8:22-25).
We still labor, but plugged into His power source:
– Heb 4:4, 11: we are to be diligent to enter His rest, and we enter by believing (Heb 4:3). Faith without works is dead (James 2:17-18) but the “work” is believing
– Heb 12:1-2: run with endurance the race set before us, with our eyes fixed on Jesus, the joy set before us. Keeping our eyes fixed is how we lay aside the weights that entangle (deceitfulness of riches, desire for other things, Mark 4:19), and how we run with endurance (otherwise we’d collapse)
– We give Him those weights that might entangle/burdens: 1 Peter 5:7
– When we’re weary, He will give us rest (recharge us): Matt 11:28-30
– The Jews had swords to fight the giants. We have the sword of God’s word as our weapon (Heb 4:12) which we use to resist the devil and demand what’s ours (but remembering that the devil is defeated already, Col 2:15, Heb 2:14, which is where the rest comes in:)
– Luke 18:1-8

Why Your Fasting Glucose Is High
From Dr. Lauren Deville - Naturopathic Doctor
– In the last days, deception will come– false prophets will rise up and deceive many (Matt 24:11), claiming to be Jesus returned (Mark 13:6), some with signs and wonders, deceiving even the elect, “if possible” (Matt 24:24, Mark 13:22). How do we protect against this?
– Focus on knowing the truth, and then you will recognize deception (as how the bankers are trained to recognize counterfeit money). The world is confused about what truth is (John 18:37-38) because they don’t hear His voice. God’s word is truth (John 17:17, Psa 25:5, Psa 91:4, Psa 96:13, 100:5, 117:2, 119:142, 151, 160; 138:2, Prov 3:3), including the gospel (Col 1:5)
– God is called the God of truth (Isa 65:16).
– Jesus is the truth (John 14:6, as well as the Word, John 1:1-3, 14).
– The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of truth (John 14:17, 15:26, 16:13, 1 John 5:6) and He will guide us into all truth. Through the anointing of the Holy One, we know all things and He will instruct us (1 John 2:20, 2:27).
– We must worship God in spirit and in truth (John 4:23-24)–i.e. according to His word and by the help of the Holy Spirit.
– Love rejoices in truth (1 Cor 13:6) – both fruit of the Spirit (Gal 5:22-23, Eph 5:9)
– Renew our minds with the Word (Romans 12:2); thus we will recognize God’s will. Truth is the foundation of the spiritual armor (Eph 6:14)–it goes on first. Only knowing the truth will make us free (John 8:32).
– Once we know the truth, we are to continue in what we were taught (Col 2:6-7, 1 John 2:24).
– Truth of course also means words corresponding to reality (Gen 42:16), and whether our actions/words correspond to our thoughts and emotions (Josh 24:14, 1 Sam 12:24, 1 John 3:18)
– The opposite of this is hypocrisy, or pretense (Phil 1:18), or unrighteousness (2 Thess 2:12).
– What if an idea, concept, or belief that comes to us isn’t addressed in scripture at all?
– Is it consistent with God’s character? Jesus said we can ask anything in His name and He will give it to us (John 14:14). What’s in God’s name? He is Jehovah Nissi (the Lord my Banner), Jehovah-Raah (the Lord my Shepherd), Jehovah Rapha (the Lord that Heals), Jehovah Shammah (the Lord is There), Jehovah Tsidkenu (the Lord our Righteousness), Jehovah Mekoddishkem (the Lord who Sanctifies You), Jehovah Jireh (the Lord who Provides), Jehovah Shalom (the Lord is Peace), Jehovah Sabaoth (the Lord of Hosts).
– What is its fruit? (Gal 5:19-23, Romans 8:6-8) God won’t lead us into anything producing negative fruit–if the fruit is negative, it’s from the flesh and not the Spirit.
– The opposite of truth is deceit(Prov 12:17, Isaiah 59:4, Jer 9:5, 2 Cor 4:2). Satan is the father of deceit/lies and there is no truth in him (John 8:44). Those who are unrighteous will suppress the truth (Romans 1:18).
– False teachers will distort the truth (Acts 20:29-30, 2 Peter 3:16), by mixing it with myths/fables (Titus 1:14) or “merely human commands” (Matthew 16:1-12) or the traditions of men (such as forbidding to marry, abstaining from certain foods, 1 Tim 4:3), according to the principles of the world (Col 2:4-8). They will pretend to be godly or moral, though (2 Cor 11:13-15, 2 Tim 6:5)–so we must use discernment.
– How do we know a false teacher vs just one who is flawed?
– Anyone who denies that Jesus is the Christ is a false teacher (1 John 2:22-23, 4:2-3)
– Some may lie intentionally for their own gain (Deut 18:20, Ezekiel 13:9, Jer 14:14, Jer 23:16, Titus 1:10-11) or in hypocrisy (1 Tim 4:2)
– Others may be so blind that they truly believe they are doing God a favor in persecuting His true followers (John 16:2).
– Romans 16:18: Paul said in this verse that these individuals use good words and fair speeches and deceive the hearts of the simple. This means that they flatter people (2 Timothy 4:3) and appeal to the same selfish desires that they themselves have, to draw people after themselves (Acts 20:30).
– We can’t judge motives (Matthew 7:1-3), but we can and should judge fruit (Matthew 7:15-20, 1 John 3:7-9). There are many who claim to be believers but aren’t (Matthew 7:21-23) and they’ll be among us until the end of the age, when God will finally separate them out (Matthew 13:24-30).
– The serpent is subtle and cunning (Gen 3:1, 2 Cor 11:3-4). We’ll have to know scripture well so that it cannot be twisted against us. Satan tried to deceive Jesus with scripture (Matt 4:6)–and not even misquoted, just out of context. Some examples of how beliefs can be twisted and used against us if we’re not careful:
– Some teach that God causes or allows sickness in order to teach us something. This sounds spiritual–yet Deut 28 makes it clear that sickness is always considered a curse. Jesus became a curse for us and redeemed us from the curse (Gal 3:13-14), and even before that, He healed all who came to Him (Matt 15:30, Matt 4:23-24, Matt 8:16, Matt 9:35, Matt 10:1, Matt 12:15, Matt 15:30, Luke 4:40, Luke 10:9) and He was a perfect representation of the Father (John 5:19, 5:30, 8:28, 12:49)
– 2 Kings 18:4: the people had converted God’s symbol for healing, the brass serpent from Numbers 21:6-9, a future type of Jesus, into an idol which they called Nehushtan. King Hezekiah had torn down the high places and broke Nehushtan in pieces. When Rabshakeh from the king of Assyria threatened the people with destruction, he said, “You broke down God’s symbols of worship! Why would He come through for you?” (2 Kings 18:22). The people had to know God and His word well enough to know that what Hezekiah did was right in God’s eyes (2 Kings 18:5-7); if they didn’t, they might easily lose faith that God would come through for them, and also turn against Hezekiah, thinking he’d brought them out from under God’s protection.
