TAPPING is a simple, heartfelt way to chat with God every day. While doing it Praise is the moment that makes the whole prayer come alive, connecting your heart to God’s love. It’s like the spark that turns a quiet talk into a joyful celebration. For people who do TAPPING daily, praising God isn’t just part of the prayer—it becomes how you live, filling you with the Holy Spirit and turning every thought into a conversation with God. The Bible says we are just dust without God’s Spirit, unable to praise Him. But in TAPPING, praising with the Spirit’s help keeps you full of life and close to God, not just during prayer but all day long.
We Are Dust Without God’s Spirit
Gen 2:7 says God made humans from dust and breathed His life into us, making us alive. Without that breath—the Holy Spirit—we are just lifeless, with no strength to praise. Ps 30:9 asks, “Can dust praise you? Can it shout about your greatness?” Nope, dust can’t sing or pray. We need God’s Spirit to get our hearts singing His praises. In TAPPING, this is super important. The Praise step, right after being washed with Jesus’ blood in Pardon, lets you praise freely, all powered by the Spirit. The more you praise, the more the Spirit fills you up, and the more you are filled, the better you praise. It’s an awesome cycle that doesn’t stop when TAPPING ends—it keeps going all day.
Why Praise is the Heart of TAPPING
In TAPPING, praise is what holds everything together. The first three steps—Thanksgiving, Adoration, and Pardon —get your heart ready. 1 Jn 1:7 says, “The blood of Jesus cleans us from all sin,” washing away guilt so you can praise with a happy heart. Then comes Praise, where you let it all out with joy, maybe saying “Praise you, Jesus!” or praying in tongues if that’s your thing.
This step is special because it moves you from cleaning your heart to letting God’s power flow out. Acts 16:25–26 tells how Paul and Silas sang praises in jail, and bam—God sent an earthquake to free them! In TAPPING, praise does the same—it breaks chains, heals hurts, and calls the Spirit to move, like Rom 8:26 says the Spirit prays for us when we can’t find words. Praise isn’t just one part; it’s the bridge to the last three steps—Intercession, New Life, and Good Action—because a heart full of praise wants to love and help others.
But here’s the best part: praise shouldn’t stop when TAPPING does. The more you praise, the more the Spirit fills you, making it easy to keep praising all day. Ps 34:1 says, “I’ll bless the Lord all the time; His praise will always be in my mouth.” TAPPING helps you turn random thoughts—like “Man, what a cool day!”—into little prayers, such as “Thank you, Lord, for this beautiful day.” This helps us to remain connected to God whether you are working, eating, or chilling.
How Daily Praise Changes You
When you do TAPPING every day, praising God becomes your whole vibe, and it totally changes how you live. Let’s see how this happens:
- Always Chatting with God: Praising all day turns your thoughts into talks with God. Jesus showed this in Lk 22:39, always slipping away to pray. TAPPING makes this your habit too, so you are whispering “Thanks, Jesus, praise you Jesus” over your coffee or asking for help when things get tough. It’s like 1 Thess 5:17 says: “Pray all the time.”
- Powered by the Spirit: Praise opens you to the Spirit’s gifts. Eph 5:18–19 tells us to be “filled with the Spirit, singing psalms and hymns.” In TAPPING, praising invites the Spirit to spark stuff like peace or courage, helping you handle life. Ps 149:6–7 says praises are like a sword, fighting off bad stuff.
- Stronger in Hard Times: Praising God, even when life’s messy, gives you hope. Job did this in Job 1:21, saying, “Blessed be the Lord” even after losing everything. In TAPPING, praise helps you see God’s love in tough times, trusting Rom 8:28 that “all things work out for good.”
- Living God’s Way: Praise keeps your heart in sync with God’s plans. Jesus prayed, “Your will be done” in Mt 26:39 because He was super close to God. TAPPING’s praise does that for you, shaping how you talk and act to be more like Jesus, as Ps 37:4 says: “Find joy in the Lord, and He’ll give you what your heart wants.”
- Staying Spiritually Awake: Without the Spirit, we are dust, stuck in sin. TAPPING’s daily praise, tied to Jesus’ blood, keeps you sharp, like Heb 3:13 warns against getting “hardened by sin.” It’s your shield, keeping your heart constantly open to God.
Praise All Day, Every Day
TAPPING isn’t just about praising during prayer—it’s about making praise your whole life. Ps 92:1–2 says to “give thanks to the Lord… morning and night.” Whether you are stuck in traffic or hanging out with friends, TAPPING teaches you to make those moments into worship offered to God – maybe a quick “Love you, God” or a hummed song. Every little thing becomes a chance to connect, as Col 3:17 says: “Do everything in Jesus’ name.”
This links to Ex 12:13, where the Passover blood saved the Israelites from death. In TAPPING, Jesus’ blood cleans you daily, letting you praise purely and invite the Spirit’s power, like Rev 5:13’s song to the Lamb. Without the Spirit, we are dust; with Him, we are alive, praising God with every breath.
Conclusion
In TAPPING, praising God is the heart of the prayer, connecting you to the Spirit and sparking real change. For those who do it daily, praise becomes how you roll—turning thoughts into prayers, staying strong in tough times, and sharing God’s love. We are just dust without God’s Spirit, but TAPPING’s cycle of cleansing, praising, and Spirit-filling makes us alive with worship. As you praise from morning to night, you live out St. Catherine of Siena’s words: “Be who you were created to be, and you’ll set the world on fire.” So keep praising, keep praying, and let TAPPING make your whole life a big thank-you to God!
