Praise is the currency of the Kingdom.


Praise is something that we weren't given. It originates within us. It's something we give God.


Everyone is given a measure of faith.


Praise comes from within you. It's a decision, a choice that you make. You have the ability to give it or to withhold it. So, it's the currency of the Kingdom that we use to invest in the things of God.


Praise is a weapon, and we need to understand how to effectively wield it and how to exchange it for the goods or services of the Kingdom to cause a reaction to come supernaturally into the natural realm.


Yadah praise appears 111 times in Scripture. It's hands to God, its most simple meaning.


Comes from two root words:


Yad - open hands; an open hands posture, direction, power

Ah - a derivative from God's Name Jehovah


Yada praise is responding to God with uplifted or outstretched hands
