goes on to enumerate those blessings: loving kindness, satisfaction
redemption, honor, renewal. We bless the Lord by remembering all
of these things.

him; and lay my staff on the lad's face".'
2 Sa. 14:22 'And Joab fell on his face to the ground, prostrated

4.HALAL
Scripture: 1 Chron. 16:4, 23:5,30, 25:3, 29:13, Neh. 12:24 (this
word appears over 110 times in the OT)
1984 halal (haw-lal'); a primitive root; to be clear (orig. of
sound, but usually of color); to shine; hence, to make a show,
to boast; and thus to be (clamorously) foolish; to rave; causatively,
to celebrate; also to stultify:

1 Ch. 16:4 'And he appointed some of the Levites as ministers
before the ark of the Lord, even to celebrate and to thank and
praise the Lord God of Israel.'
Neh. 12:24 'And the heads of the Levites were Hashabiah, Sherebiah
and Jeshua the son of Kadmiel, with their brothers opposite them,
to praise and give thanks, as prescribed by David the man of God,
division Coresponding to division.'
Other renderings
Ps. 34:23 'My soul shall make its boast in the Lord; the humble
shall hear it and rejoice. O magnify the Lord with me, and let
us exalt His name to-gether.'
Isa. 38:18 'For sheol cannot thank Thee, death cannot celebrate
[praise] Thee.'
Ge. 12:15 'And Pharaoh's officials saw her and commended [praised]
her to Pharaoh; and the woman was taken to Pharaoh's house.'
1 Ch. 16:10 'Glory in His holy name; let the heart of those who
seek the Lord be glad.'
Isa. 45:25 'In the Lord all the offspring of Israel will be justified
and will glory.'
Ps. 78:63 'The fire consumed their young men; and their maidens
were not given to marriage.' (AV)
Or
'Fire devoured His young men; and His virgins had no wedding songs.'
(NASB)
Job. 41:18 'his sneezes flash forth light, and his eyes are like
the eyelids of the morning.'
This last rendering leads to an interesting comparison:
Isa. 14:12-14 'How you have fallen from heaven, O star of the
morning, son of the dawn! You have been cut down to the earth,
you who have weakened the nations! But you said in your heart
"I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the
stars of God, and I will sit on the mount of assembly in the recesses
of the north. I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I
will make myself like the Most High".'
The phrase 'star of the morning' is translated from the word (heylel
[1966]). This word comes from (halal) in the sense of brightness.
In this passage the AV renders 'Lucifer', also known as Satan.
It is interesting that Satan, who was the leader of worship in
heaven, took the attributes of his character that reflected praise,
celebration, raving, boasting and brightness (see definition of
halal above) and turned them onto himself rather than to God.
His boasting in the Lord has turned to pride and self worship,
from which all sin ultimately stems.
This is an important lesson for all worshippers. Never forget
the purpose of worship. For leaders this is especially important;
do not let your boasting in the Lord turn into a prideful performance
or show of your own abilities. Just see what this has done to
a lot of rock stars. Small wonder they too are called 'stars'.
5.TOWDAH -to-daw -To give worship by the extension
of the hand in adoration or agreeing with what has been done or
will be. This word is common- ly found in connection with sacrifice-applying
the giving of thanks or praise as a sacrifice before reception
or manifestation. Thanking God for something that I don't have
in the natural. Agreeing with His Word - faith in His Word. This
form of praise goes in operation just because His Word is true.
"Father, I thank YOU that YOUR WORD is TRUE. As we raise
our hearts and hands in praise to the Lord, it involves a sacrifice,
especially if one is very sick in body. The carnal mind would
fight and ridicule this particular action, but there is great
faith in TOWDAH as praise. The lifting of the hand symbolizes
agreement. The right hand symbolizes my covenant with my my Father.
As I go through the scriptures, God is seen extending His Right
Hand to me. That's the covenant. When He extends His right hand
to me, He's saying to me - ALL THAT I AM IS YOURS, and when I
extend my right hand to Him, I am saying "All that I am is
yours and I agree with what You're saying. It is the sacrifice
that God honors by His performing of miracles.
The ATTITUDE for TOWDAH is: I'm thanking God. I'm agreeing with
God that it is as He says. I don't care what it looks like. I'm
agreeing with what His Word says. Example: Father, I thank You
that I am healed.
Scripture: Psalm 42:4, 50:23, Jer. 17:26
8426 towdah (to-daw'); from 3034; 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).
confession, praise, thanksgiving
a) give praise to God
b) thanksgiving in songs of liturgical worship, a hymn of praise
c) a thanksgiving choir or a procession or a line or a company
d) a thank-offering, a sacrifice of thanksgiving
e) confession
todah [8426]
An extension of the hand; adoration; a choir of worshippers.
Ps. 42:4 'These things I remember, and I pour out my soul within
me. For I used to go along with the throng and lead them in procession
to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise [thanksgiving]
a multitude keeping festival.'
Ps. 50:23 'He who offers a sacrifice of praise honors Me, and
to him who orders his way aright I shall show the salvation of
God.'
Other renderings
Jos. 7:19 'Then Josua said to Achan, "my son, I implore you,
give glory to the Lord, the God of Israel, make confession to
Him; and tell me what you have done. Do not hide it from me."'
Ezr. 10:11 'Now, therefore, make confession to the Lord God of
your fathers, and do His will; and separate yourselves from the
peoples of the land and from the foreign wives.'
Praise seems to involve confession: we need to be honest before
Him to come into His presence. It is interesting to observe that
the Old Testament uses only two words for confession, yadah and
todah. That both these words are also translated 'praise' is worthy
of note.
Jer. 17:26 '…bringing burnt offerings, sacrifices, grain
offerings and incense, and bringing sacrifices of praise to the
house of the Lord.'
Jer. 33:11 '…those who bring a thank offering.'
6.ZAMAR - zaw-mar - To sing with instruments.
To make music accompanied by the voice. One of the musical verbs
for praise in the book of psalms. It carries the idea of making
music in praise to God as in Psalm 92:1. The word ZAMAR also means
to touch the strings, and refers to praise that involves instrumental
worship as in Psalm 150. The one word is usually translated "sing
praises".
2167 zamar (zaw-mar'); a primitive root [perhaps ident. with 2168
through the idea of striking with the fingers]; properly, 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.
to sing, to sing praise, to make music; (Piel)
1) to make music, to sing
2) to play a musical instrument
To touch the strings or parts of a musical instrument; to make
music accompanied by voice, hence to celebrate in music and song.
Ps. 21:13 'Be Thou exalted, O Lord, in Thy strength; we will sing
and praise Thy power.'
Ps. 108:1 'My heart is steadfast, O God; I will sing, I will sing
praises, even with my soul.'
Other renderings

me; and I will offer in His tent sacrifices with shouts of joy;
I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord.'
Ps. 57:9 'I will give thanks to Thee, O Lord, among the peoples;
I will sing praises to Thee among the nations.'
7.SHABACH - shaw-bakh - to address in a loud
tone, a loud adoration, a shout! Proclaim with a loud voice, unashamed,
the GLORY, TRIUMPH, POWER, MERCY, LOVE OF GOD. This word implies
that testimony is praise. The phrase "shout unto the Lord"
can be understood as the action of SHABACH. It is not just being
loud. You should have the attitude of putting your whole being
into it, an attitude of being totally uninhibited. Scripture:
Psalm 117:1, 63:3-4
7623 shabach (shaw-bakh'); a primitive root; properly, to address
in a loud tone, i.e. (specifically) loud; figuratively, to pacify

Deliverance
free teaching online section of Journey2Wholeness at journey2wholeness.org.,
a Christian healing and deliverance ministry in Dallas, Fort Worth,
Texas area. Jesus came to set the captives free - deliverance
and healing but he sent his followers to help minister biblical

setting the captives free from the snares of the Devil to bring
about physical healing, emotional healing and spiritual healing
and even relational healing and financial healing.
Journey2Wholeness reveals truth and recent errors on spiritual
warfare, deliverance and healing ministry principles. Many in
the church are becoming snared in the church through end-time
false doctrine (new age movement) that leads to sad consequences

oppression, demon possession, strongholds,
curses, sickness and disease physically, mentally, emotionally
and spiritually. Free teachings online - deliverance and spiritual
warfare.
Journey2Wholeness teaches and ministers to the body of Christ
to set the captives free. We teach about open doors and taking
responsibility. Journey2Wholeness is a non-denominational ministry
to teach Truth that brings true freedom. Learn about spiritual
roots of disease, eliminate it by applying deliverance warfare
prayer, healing prayers, and other areas of deliverance and healing
ministry, such as casting out demons, binding demons, tearing
down strongholds (wrong beliefs), and breaking generational curses
(ancestral curses) which are a result from generational sins
according to Deut. 27 and Deut 28.
Most of all stay healed and delivered by learning right
biblical teachings through our iSchool class.
