James’ Perspective on the Issues

The Vein of Praise July 2, 2009

Filed under: Inspirational — James Sutton @ 2:09 am

Recently God spoke to me during a time of praise and worship and said that as long as your hand is raised in praise then your arm becomes like a vein through which God’s blessings flow. Naturally, a vein transports blood, the body’s life source, from the heart throughout the rest of the body. Without it, we’d die. An arm extended in praise literally reaches into heaven and touches the heart of God who causes the life to flow to us. When we make ourselves open and available to God, He pours Himself into us. We get a deeper revelation of who He is and His plan for us. We get answers, ideas and vision through that vein. 

For some, the blood may have stopped flowing because our hand is no longer lifted. As long as Aaron and Hur kept Moses’ arms lifted, Israel prevailed in battle, but when his arms dropped, their enemies overcame them. Your victory is not in a person, position or prosperity, but it’s in your praise. When we lift our hands in praise we release all our troubles to God. In return, He dispenses his blessings on us through the vein. 

Our hand wave is a sign of praise that scatters our problems like ashes. God exchanges those ashes for beautiful blessings. This would not be possible if we didn’t release those issues to him in praise. 

Worship the God of your salvation. He inhabits the praise of His people.
