The Scripture makes it very clear that as we focus on purity we experience power from above. Paul stressed this in his final letter to his understudy Timothy. “Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter [i.e., “iniquity”], he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work” (2Ti 2:21). How? The process is simple: God the Father works through the Son. The Son works through the Holy Spirit. The Spirit works through the Word. The Word works through the believer. The believer works through living faith.

Power of Praise #1
Commands relevant to our lives — Rejoice, pray, be thankful (1Th 5:16-18, Heb 13:15-16). We can't understand praise until we understand providence. Praise has a power that transforms our life and impacts others around us, while in the process gives glory to God. Law of recompense (Psa 33:1, Psa 33:22). If "the joy of the Lord is our strength" then we have no strength without joy (Neh 8:10).
