ORIGIN NAME FOR TEHILLAH IS HEBREW.)

​

​​

“Ushering the glorious and magnificent presence of God through praise and worship.” 

I will praise thee, oh Lord, for your mercy endureth forever. Let’s enter his gates with praise.  

Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. Psalm 100:4

 

YADAH is a Hebrew verb with a root meaning "to throw", or "the extended hand, to throw out the hand"; therefore, "to worship with extended hand".

 

2 Chronicles 20:19-21 is the YADAH type of praise

Encountering the Wonders of YADAH. All saints in Christ can experience the wonders of the ‘YADAH’ encounter. Thus, moving one's soul to be caught up in the bliss of worshiping God in the spirit. Your expectation should always seek the sovereignty of God’s power to be manifested during praise and worship.

 

Another wonder of the “YADAH Encounter”.

2 Chronicles 20:21 points us to celebrate God by giving thanks to the lord, for his lovingkindness is from everlasting to everlasting.

 

Another wonder of “YADAH Encounter” brings saints into a time of confession. Believers who yearn for more of God will encounter the bliss of YADAH. Their involvement will cause them to confess the greatness of God’s wonders.

 

Another wonder of the YADAH Encounter, “To throw your hands or lift your hands in worship,” Brings saints to another level of praise and thanksgiving. Thus, meaning you’re willingly ready to lay aside your weight of sin. (Heb 12:1-2) You are ready to open up your mouth in singing and adoration to God, to raise your hands in power (with strength) toward God, to embrace the Lord’s sovereignty... it speaks of the absolute commissioning power that flows from God’s divinity, bringing the worshippers to a place of total surrendering and confession that he is God who reigned in righteousness. 

 

Another wonder of the “YADAH Encounter” brings saints to a blissful period of encountering a time of renewal. The joy of the Lord is our strength, finding a place where we begin to enjoy the very presence of God, it’s no longer a struggle but rather a release in praise. The place where sacrifices will not go unnoticed. 

Psalm 54:6- "I will freely sacrifice unto thee:
I will praise thy name, O Lord; for it is good."    

 

The joy of the LORD is OUR strength; thus, daily we anticipate the joy of heaven on earth, and constantly we will see the unveiling presence of Christ in our praise and worship. We can only be ready when our totality waits on Christ's love for us. Then we shall all experience the great JOY that’s in Christ Jesus. Yet we can’t be complacent when we begin to see Christ being manifested. 

 

We need to seek more of Christ's declarations; the bliss of the "YADAH-TEHILLAH encounter" awaits us. We should continually explore the wonders of God’s blessings. Yes, believers! Shouldn’t we seek more of Christ's will? Have more “zeal”, “along”, a glorious yearning, a magnificent awakening? Shouldn’t we all have a wonderful desire towards the spiritual realm, which awaits every soul, with earnest passion to join the heart of Christ in fellowship and worship? Thus, releasing one into God’s divine presence, he will find himself hungering and thirsting after God’s righteousness; he will not rest contented until his “heart”, “his soul “, is filled with his divine manner from the heavenly host. 

 

Jesus sets the standard for a blessed life: “Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.” Matthew 5:6 KJV. Nevertheless, your heart’s desires should never be in a state of complacency, but daily seeking more of the Lord. Yes, the Yadah-Tehillah encounters attract the essence of God’s presence, bringing you into the joy of the Lord, which is our strength, Amen. 

​

"God’s Holy Character"

The blessings of praise and worship are derived from ‘God’s holy character’. “God is Holy.” Before anyone can enter his throne room, ‘the holy presence of God’, there must be an acknowledgement of his sovereignty; there’s got to be a sacrifice made.

 

Let’s see the account. ‘But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people: Hebrews 9:7

“This is to be a lasting ordinance for you: Atonement is to be made once a year for all the sins of the Israelites.” Leviticus 16:34

 

God’s ordinance of sacrifice. God sent his son, Christ Jesus, to be the ultimate sacrifice for the sins of mankind. 

 

“By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.”

Hebrews 10:10 KJV

 

Christ offered himself for us, “a glorious sacrifice”; he paid the price for our sins. Now we ought to make a sacrifice in order to share the blessings and union with Christ Jesus, so we can enter the realm of the spirit in praise and worship. 

 

Jesus said, “God is a Spirit, and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.”

John 4:24 KJV

​

Now saints, God is a spirit, and worshiping God must be spirit-oriented. No flesh will bring glory in God’s presence.

 

Paul taught the Corinthians, “That no flesh should glory in his presence."

 

That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.”

1 Corinthians 1:29, 31 KJV

 

Saints in Christ, for our lives to make the glorious awakening to the spiritual realms, there must be a sacrifice made on our part. Let’s see Paul’s conclusion on the subject matter. 

 

“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 

 

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God is.”

(Romans 12:1-2 KJV) 

 

Let’s seek to lay aside the weight of sin, which will invoke the presence of God, and begin worshiping the lord in the beauty of holiness. Then we will begin to see the magnificent wonders of God’s presence among his people. Let God arise, and his enemies be scattered." Psalm 68:1

 

Laying aside something is one of the most essential points of one’s sacrifice. We can only experience freedom from our burden when we lay aside our own yoke. And take his yoke in our lives.  Christ says, “For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

Matthew 11:30 KJV

 

Notwithstanding saints, there’s absolutely no throne with two reigning kings in the same kingdom. If God be God, serve him. 1 Kings 18:21

Desiring God’s “presence” is the very place saints are longing to enjoy, a stream or fountain, and can be of great support to its surrounding environment, if not interrupted. Let's see James' advice. 

 

“Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter? Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? Either a vine, figs? So can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.”

James 3:11-12 KJV

 

Saints, our lives are a representation of God’s kingdom here on earth. How beautiful are the adornments of our lives, representing the temple of God? We are to show forth his praises from his temple, which resides within us.

 

“If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.”

1 Corinthians 3:17 KJV 

 

God’s love goes beyond what one can conceptualize. 

 

“His foundation is in the holy mountains. The Lord loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.”

Psalms 87:1-2 KJV

 

‘Wow, our God is inherent, our God is omnipresent, this is wonderful, saints. God’s holy characteristics are transferable. Constantly, our sovereign God is characterizing and advancing his kingdom here on earth. ‘Oh greater yet is Christ's sovereignty. His undiluted love is always characteristically changing and saving lives every day. Yet bringing us even closer, and yet closer still, in his holy presence to fellowship and tabernacle with ‘his bride’, “his temple”, “his dwelling place”, oh yes, “his place of abode within us”.  Corinthians 6:19 and Ephesians 2:21-22.

 

Saints, when we think of God’s love, we think of God’s impartation upon his glorious church. Seeing the above scripture, points us to understand that God’s standards are high. Christ's triumphant entry into our hearts sets his Holy Spirit ablaze to reside in God’s temple within us. Therefore, we are held accountable to preserve and maintain God’s heritage. God’s Temple within our lives should be our top priority to guard and keep with all diligence. Our bodies are purified by Christ's blood, the very place as precious as the temple of the living God. Saints, our temple is the dwelling place and delights of the Holy Spirit, tabernacling with us. What a marvelous and glorious awakening for any soul who puts their trust in the lord, whose joy and strength are heaven's endorsement. Thus, bringing souls to Christ's approval. Let’s understand that the praise and worship of God isn’t just something we do… It’s what we were created for.  We’re all created to bring glory to God.  We are all created to worship Him, and we know the Word says that if we don’t, He will cause a rock to praise Him. I don’t know about you, but I’m in full agreement with the words of the old gospel song: “Ain’t no rock gonna cry out in my place.” Amen!?!

 

Seeing the clarification of our souls’ sacrifice. Let’s continue looking at the attributes of praise and worship. Our theme in this segment is Tehillah.

 

Halal means: "to praise, celebrate, glory, sing (praise), to be boastful.

 

Halal praise is a time of celebration, a time when God's people rise up and praise Him with everything they have, 

 

Tehillah is derived from the word halal and means “the singing of halals, to sing or to laud; perceived to involve music, especially singing; hymns of the Spirit

 

Let’s seek to understand the meaning of Tehillah.

“I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.”

Psalms 34:1 KJV

 

God has ordained praise out of the mouths of babes and sucklings. 

“And Jesus saith unto them, 'Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?”

Matthew 21:16 KJV

 

Let’s look at the clarification from Psalm 34:1, this word, and what worship brings. We can rest assured that God inhabits our praises. The Psalmist says: “His praise (Tehillah) shall continually be in my mouth.”  Do you know what that means?  It’s just like we read in 1 Thessalonians 5:17.  That verse simply says that we’re to “Pray without ceasing.”, and Psalm 34:1 says that His praise shall “continually be in my mouth."

 

This is our daily bread, the Lord of host is our good shepherd, commissioning our souls to come up higher, this is our sacrifice of praise, our lives are the temple of the living God, we can rest with gladness and assurance, Christ efficacious blood is on our souls, Christ spirit in our lives, Lifting our souls into his divine presences, as instruments of praise, blessing and magnifying the wonderful and magnificent name of the Lord at all times. God be praised from the rising of the sun to the going down of the very same.

 

Yes, indeed, our lives are our daily devotion to God. The attributes of Christ's image are the reflections of his light in our lives every day. Saints in Christ. our blessings come from God, who breathed life into all humanity, and we became living souls. Mankind's responsibility is to praise God; all man’s blessings come from the Lord. To God be glory forevermore! Amen. Yes, Lord, you have created me to bless your wonderful name. My hands, feet, mouth, eyes, and all the blessings you have given me shall return to bless your name forevermore, oh Lord, amen. 

  

                    "TEHILLAH"

 

This name derives from the Hebrew “Tehillah," meaning: "praise", "song," or "hymn of praise". Praise, adoration, thanksgiving (paid to God). It also means "the act of general or public praise."

 

Let’s begin seeking the manifestation of God’s blessings among us, and we can make an impact in our community. Let’s conclusively set the stage for the great mission, “Let God arise, and his enemies be scattered”.

 

1 Chronicles 16:34

O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good;
for his mercy endureth forever."

 

And say ye, save us, O God of our salvation, and gather us together, and deliver us from the heathen, that we may give thanks to thy holy name, and glory in thy praise.”

1 Chronicles 16:35 KJV.

​

"O give thanks unto the Lord; call upon his name:
make known his deeds among the people." Psalm 105:1

 

I stretch forth my hands unto thee:
my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah." Psalm 143:6

​

God’s waiting for a heart that yearns for his presence. A thirsty soul that will not stop until God becomes the stream of living water flowing from his throne to bless whoever will come to him in sincerity. “Let God arise” and release his blessings on you and your household and your entire community at large. Amen.
