Worship Before You Get The Miracle!

Worship: to honor, the expression of such reverence
Miracle: an unusual event. An intervention in the natural universe by God

It's so important that we remember to worship the Lord for our miracle before we get it. When praises go up, blessings come down! I know that most of us like to praise God after we have received the miracle, but when you praise God in advance, it's like saying, "I've got total confidence in knowing that what I've asked for is going to come to pass." The word tells us that without faith it is impossible to please God, so let's put our faith into action and praise God before our miracle happens.

That's what blind Bartimaeus did, as he was sitting by the highway begging. When he heard that Jesus was passing by, he stop begging and started worshiping. He began to cry out, saying, "Jesus thou Son of David, have mercy on me." Even though many of the people around "charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me. And Jesus stood still and commanded him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort, rise; he calleth thee. And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? The blind man said unto him, Lord, that I might receive my sight. And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he receive his sight" (Mark 10:46-52).

Need another example of worshiping first? Okay: "...there came a certain ruler, and worshipped him, saying My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live." "...When Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise, He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn. But when the people were put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand, and the maid arose." (Matthew 9:18, 23-25). That ruler praised God in advance and as a result, his daughter arose.

Those are just two quick examples, but they are all throughout the word of God. Remember, we don't need to wait for the miracle before we begin our worship - worship before the miracle and you will see just how fast you will get your miracle!

Matthew 6:33 says, "But seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."

With all that said, let the Church say Amen... and AMEN!
