(Spirit helper speaking: ) Delighter in the heart’s wishes of the King of the Universe, peace be unto you, and faith forever.
I am sent to bring you a message of joy, for the package of joy will buoy you up and sustain you. The joy of the Lord will be your strength, both now and in the days to come.

(Jolly—my praise angel, Joy of the Lord: ) I smiled at you so big, you have never forgotten my face. I came to you that night, shining the light of Heaven’s love right into your soul. And it has borne you up and carried you through many a dark night. [Note: This was nearly 20 years ago.]
I am Prince Valiant the IV, and have fought and won in many battles. I can see the victories and so I can smile. I can see what is being done, and I can rejoice. You don’t see it from your perspective, but I do. And if I am smiling, so can you, because I am seeing things from the proper perspective—that goes to the back and to the front, both forwards and backwards in time. I can see far more than you can with your little one-day-at-a-time, only-the-now, point of view. 
When you claim the keys of praise, I and my fighting warriors come to guard all that you are doing. We don’t let any evil infiltration linger. We guard you like nothing you’ve ever seen.
No, I’m not just a little “stand by your side and give you happy thoughts” type of clown or personage. But a valiant warrior in the highest form of war, the war of faith and allegiance to the King. For that is what praise is all about—faith in Jesus. If you have no faith in His methods and in the coming reign, then you are beaten and a lost soldier. And those who praise Jesus the most, are the most immune to attacks on their faith. 
It seems like it’s two different things—faith (that some people equate more with a feeling, as in “I have the faith for it”), and praise, which is thought of as happy feelings and thoughts. 
But Praise is the victory. Faith overcomes the world. And thus whatever is not done to the glory of God, not done with praise, is sin. Sin is a lost point for the King. Did you lose a point over to the opponent’s team? Did you gripe and complain? That’s losing. Faith and praise are more linked than you imagine.
Say these, “Whatever is not done with praise is sin.” 
“This is the victory that overcomes the world, even our praise.” 
“Do all to the glory and praise of God.” 
“Do all things without murmuring.” 
“Praising the Lord will be our strength”. 
Recognise those passages? Take away faith and you take away praise. Have faith, and praise will be heard. They are linked together. 
So the praise warriors are actually faith fighters, and are winning the hearts of the lost to the King, and keeping them loyal and gaining in strength. That’s why the trade mark of a saved believer is a smiling face. Faith shows up with joy.
