Turn It Up - In the Bible [Verses & Devotional]
The song Turn it Up by Planetshakers is a powerful declaration of praise to our wonderful King Jesus. The lyrics invite us to lift up our voices and offer praises to His Name for all the He has done for us. Through this song, we are reminded of various biblical passages that help us to understand the significance of praising God wholeheartedly.
In verse one, the lyrics recognize that when we lift up Jesus' name, He is enthroned over everything. It reflects Psalm 22:3 which says, "Yet you are enthroned as the Holy One; you are the praise of Israel." Even in places where no one else can be present, Jesus is there when we call on Him and lift Him up in worship.
Verse two further encourages us to praise Him because it changes the atmosphere and breaks any spiritual chains or strongholds that may have been preventing us from receiving freedom. This echoes Isaiah 61:1 which states that "The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted..." Thus, we can turn it up and make our sound of praise louder than any other - because there is no other name like His!
Instrumental gives us a momentary respite before leading into bridge section where it declares that when we lift our praises before Him, He responds with His rain down upon us (Psalm 29:10). The refrain then comes full circle as we celebrate with shouts of praise for King Jesus for entering in - recognizing that He is seated in our praises (Hebrews 12:2).
In conclusion, Turn It Up by Planetshakers is a prayerful reminder of who Jesus is and what He has done for us. The Bible tells us again and again not only what life looks like without Jesus but also how much greater life can be when we acknowledge Him as Lord and savior - so let's keep turning it up! Every time we come into His presence through prayer or worship lets make sure our praises are sung higher than ever before!
