  Speaker 1: It's your early morning praise party. I am a sherry macket.

  Speaker 1: Is time right now for today's word? Praise before the promise?
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Praise before the promise. Genesis twelve and eight says there
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: he built another altar and dedicated it to the Lord,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: and he worshiped the Lord. When God first spoke to Abraham,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: the promise sounded impossible. He said Abraham would become the
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: father of many nations. His descendants would be as numerous
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: as the stars. He would possess lands and be a
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: blessing to the whole earth.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: There was only one problem.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: None of it matched Abraham's current reality. He had no child,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: his wife Sarah was barren. He didn't own the land
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: he was standing on. There were no visible evidence that
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: promises were unfolding. Yet instead of questioning, doubting, or demanding proof,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Abraham did something powerful.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: He built an altar and he worshiped God.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: See he praised God before the promise even came to pass.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: The altar was a declaration of trust, and said God,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: I believe you before I see it. I'm thanking you
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: now for what you've already spoken. Abraham understood a principle
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: many of us are still trying to learn. Faith doesn't
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: wait for fulfillment. It celebrates in advance. It's easy, y'all,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: to worship after the breakthrough. It's natural to thank God
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: once the healing comes, once the contract is signed, once
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: the child turns around, once the door's open. But real
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: faith builds it on to why the situation still looks impossible.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Maybe God has spoken something over your life that hasn't
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: happened yet. He promised restoration, but the relationship still feels broken.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: He promised provision, but the don't add up. He promised
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: that your children would be mighty in the earth, but
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: right now they're making choices that absolutely.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: Break your heart. Build your altar anyway.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Thank Him before you see it, Praise him while it's
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: still unfolding. Declare his goodness when circumstances try to contradict
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: his word. When you choose to thank God in advance,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: you're aligning your heart with Heaven. You're saying, God, I
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: trust your character more than I trust my circumstances. That
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: kind of faith moves things in the unseen realm. It
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: releases peace while you're still waiting. It positions you for faith,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: but it strengthens you to endure. Abraham's altar didn't change
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: the promise. It changed Abraham. It anchored him. It kept
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: his focus on God's faithfulness instead of his limitations. And
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: here's the beauty of it all. God always honors faith.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: When Heaven sees you worshiping before the answer, When God
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: hears you thanking him before the breakthrough, it's evidence that
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: you believe He is who he says he is. And
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: faith like that opens doors that no one can shut.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: So don't wait until it happens. Start praising.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Now, build your altar in advance. The promise is already
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: in motion.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Oh Father God, thank you for the promises that you've
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: spoken over our lives. Even when we don't see immediate evidence,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: we choose to trust you. We build our altars of
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: praise today, thanking you in advance for healing or restoration, for.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Favor, and for your provision. God.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Our hope is ain't good in your faithfulness, and we
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: believe you'll do exactly what you promised in Jesus' name.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Now that's your word for today. Take it, apply to
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: your everyday life, and praise before the promise. Hello, somebody,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: it's your early what he praise party? I Am Sherry Mackie,
