We have learned the creative power of Praise. When we praise, we are creating a throne in the physical realm and spiritual realm on the earth for God to reside. We have learned that giving God glory actually prevents the destruction of creation. Now we need to understand who God will actually accept “Praise and Glory” from. God is not hopelessly standing by for any whimper of praise from His creation. No, He is intently looking for those who hearts are attuned to His will and desire Him above all else.

Psalms 86:10-13 “For you are great, and do wondrous things. You are God alone. (11) Teach me your way, Yahweh. I will walk in your truth. Make my heart undivided to fear your name. [THEN] (12) I will praise you, Lord my God, with my whole heart. I will glorify your name forever more. (13) For your loving kindness is great toward me. You have delivered my soul from the lowest Hell.”
2 Chronicles 16:9a “For Yahweh’s eyes run back and forth throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him….”
That being said, there is a spiritual drought in the land; there are not many who seek after God with their whole heart.
Ezekiel 22:30 “I sought for a man among them who would build up the wall and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I would not destroy it; but I found no one.”
Now at the end of time, the remnant of God’s people remain, those who respond to His grace and mercy and act of salvation. They respond in devotion, commitment, obedience, and love. Those are who He joyfully receives Praise and Glory from.
Romans 11:2-5 “God didn’t reject his people, which he foreknew. Or don’t you know what the Scripture says about Elijah? How he pleads with God against Israel: (3) “Lord, they have killed your prophets, they have broken down your altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.” (4) But how does God answer him? “I have reserved for myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to Baal.” (5) Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.”

Psalms 34:15-22 “Yahweh’s eyes are toward the righteous. His ears listen to their cry. (16) Yahweh’s face is against those who do evil, to cut off their memory from the earth. (17) The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. (18) Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit. (19) Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but Yahweh delivers him out of them all. (20) He protects all of his bones. Not one of them is broken. (21) Evil shall kill the wicked. Those who hate the righteous shall be condemned. (22) Yahweh redeems the soul of his servants. None of those who take refuge in him shall be condemned.”
Isaiah 59:1-2 “Behold, Yahweh’s hand is not shortened, that it can’t save; nor his ear dull, that it can’t hear. (2) But your iniquities have separated you and your God, and your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear.” Read All Of Isaiah 59:1-21

(30) He came to the second, and said the same thing. He answered, ‘I’ m going, sir,’ but he didn’t go. (31) Which of the two did the will of his father?” They said to him, “The first.” Jesus said to them, “Most certainly I tell you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering into God’s Kingdom before you.”

Depart from me, you who work iniquity.’”

Do It With Obedience –
1 John 2:1-6 “My little children, I write these things to you so that you may not sin. If anyone sins, we have a Counselor with the Father, Jesus Christ, the righteous. (2) And he is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world. (3) This is how we know that we know him: if we keep his commandments. (4) One who says, “I know him,” and doesn’t keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth isn’t in him. (5) But whoever keeps his word, God’s love has most certainly been perfected in him. This is how we know that we are in him: (6) he who says he remains in him ought himself also to walk just like he walked.”
John 8:31-32 “Jesus therefore said to those Jews who had believed him, “If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples. (32) You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”

Do It With Love For God & Man –
1 Corinthians 13:1-3+13 “If I speak with the languages of men and of angels, but don’t have love, I have become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal. (2) If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but don’t have love, I am nothing. (3) If I give away all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but don’t have love, it profits me nothing. (13) But now faith, hope, and love remain—these three. The greatest of these is love.”
1 John 5:2-3 “By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep his commandments. (3) For this is loving God, that we keep his commandments. His commandments are not grievous.”

(29) To him who strikes you on the cheek, offer also the other; and from him who takes away your cloak, don’t withhold your coat also. (30) Give to everyone who asks you, and don’t ask him who takes away your goods to give them back again. (31) “As you would like people to do to you, do exactly so to them. (32) If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. (33) If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. (34) If you lend to those from whom you hope to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to receive back as much. (35) But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing back; and your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High; for he is kind toward the unthankful and evil. (36) “Therefore be merciful, even as your Father is also merciful.”

(27) Whoever doesn’t bear his own cross, and come after me, can’t be my disciple. (33) So therefore whoever of you who doesn’t renounce all that he has, he can’t be my disciple.”
Luke 9:23-25 “ He said to all, “If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me. (24) For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever will lose his life for my sake, the same will save it. (25) For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits his own self?”

Do It With Walking in Spirit & Truth –
Romans 8:6-9 “For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace; (7) because the mind of the flesh is hostile towards God; for it is not subject to God’s law, neither indeed can it be.

But if any man doesn’t have the Spirit of Christ, he is not his.”

(19) Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, (20) teaching them to observe all things that I commanded you.

1 John 4:12-15 “No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God remains in us, and his love has been perfected in us.
