Our praise is too tainted with our adamic nature.our lust for materialistic things,thats y we must be bornagain of an incorruptible seed giving birth to christ in us,my lil children of whom i travail in birth till christ is formed in you then our praise will be perfect. our enemy is our carnal minds that is in rank with satan thus our praise is lacking we need a new heart and a new spirit.the manchild is gonna rule all nations destroying anything not of faith. our carnal minds etc.let this mind be in you that was in christ jesus.the babes n sucklings are the israel of god the children of promise the children of the kingdom that is gonna be born in us sinners.behold me and the children gbu.
