MIRACLES ANSWER TO PRAISE

Who is like You, O LORD, among the gods? Who is like You, glorious in holiness, FEARFUL IN PRAISES, DOING WONDERS? – Exodus 15:11 (NKJV)

Praise paves the way for Miracles. Wonders answer to Praise. God’s Wonder-working power is connected to His fearfulness in praises! Many unique events in Scriptures confirm this. The feeding of five thousand with two loaves of bread and five fishes followed Jesus’ thanksgiving (Mk.8:6). The raising of Lazarus from the dead answered to praise (Jh.11:41). Paul and Silas were in prison, shackled and chained. The moment they added Praise to Prayers, God intervened with an earthquake that shook the cells and broke the chains. Even the jailer and his family came to know Christ that very night (Acts 16:25-31).

Praise is the ridiculous that produces the miraculous. Praising God is the trigger that releases His mighty power into your life and circumstances. No hindering barrier is strong enough to withstand the power of God that flows through praise. God is worthy! He is fearful in praises, doing wonders. To see His wonders, just engage in praise! Our Praise-worthy God is more than sufficient to turn the toughest obstacle facing you in life into a miracle. Through intense, passionate praise, you invoke the transforming Touch of Jesus, which no obstacle can obstruct. Passionate praise is far deeper than superficial utterances from the lips; it flows like a fountain from the depth of your soul.

Psalm 150:2 declares: “Praise Him for His mighty acts: praise Him according to His excellent greatness.” Praise paves the way for God's power to be displayed and demonstrated. When you praise God for His power, His power does not increase; instead, it is released into your life. God is all-knowing, perfect in wisdom. When you praise Him for His Wisdom, His wisdom does not increase; instead, it is poured afresh into your life. Praising God for His attributes releases all of His potential into your life. Praise is the spiritual mechanism that releases the attributes, potential and power of God into your circumstances.

Praise paves the way for miracles to happen; for lives to be positively affected and changed. God shakes things up through praise.  You have a choice everyday of your life: to live absorbed in worry and stress, focused only on what surrounds you, tuned into the roar of the world. Or, you can ask God to help you take your eyes off all that may be swirling around, the problems, the mess, and the cacophony of pessimistic voices. You can choose to look up to Him, the One who holds all things together, who holds you in His hands. You can switch on to Praise-lane and be ushered into realms of miracles!
