PRAISE BRINGS BREAKTHROUGH

FASTING AND PRAYER - DAY FOURTEEN

PRAISE BRINGS BREAKTHROUGH

Matthew 1:3 And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram;

Our passage for the day says this: Judah the father of Perez.  Now that may not mean anything to you yet, but hopefully you will be as excited as I am in just a few minutes!

Judah means PRAISE. Perez means Breakthrough!

Judah the father of Perez means Praise unto the Lord is the father of Breakthrough!

In 1st Chronicles 13:1-14 God moved mightily in Battle, so much so the place the arc of the covenant was kept was called Perez Uzza or “Exploded” Uzza.  When God is present in our lives there is BREAKTHROUGH, our circumstances are EXPLODED! What brings us into the presence of God? Praise! He inhabits the Praise of His people.

Psalms 111:10 Amplified says The reverent fear and worship of the Lord is the beginning of [a]Wisdom and skill [the preceding and the first essential, the prerequisite and the alphabet]; a good understanding, wisdom, and meaning have all those who do [the will of the Lord]. Their praise of Him endures forever.

We are supposed to shout out His praises as we end our fast and march onward to victory in 2015. Shouts of our praises to God, goes ahead of us. They alert the world around us spiritually and physically that something is happening!

I believe that as we shout with a voice of triumph in our praises to God we declare in the spirit realms that God has arrived in the camp!

Jericho didn’t just come down because of the marching, no, those walls fell because the sound waves of the praise of God collided with the wall, and the wall COULD NOT STAND! Sound that becomes praise is like supersonic spiritual bomb.  It blows up your circumstances, it breaks down those walls, and it tells the enemy that God is bigger than anything he can throw at us!

Today We shall praise him in spirit and in truth; we shall praise him with our voices, with our instruments, with our bodies, with groaning, with spiritual songs. All of these scriptural praises usher in the presence of God for 2015. GOD IS HERE! Satan has no power anymore! Out of this PRAISE comes Breakthrough! Strongholds shall be broken, chains fall off our lives, and real joy takes root in us and brings a peace that nothing in the world compares to. We shall live glory to glory. Breakthrough to breakthrough. Blessing to blessing.  JUDAH was the father of PEREZ! Excited yet?
