For you shall go out with joy, and be led out with peace; the mountains and the hills shall break forth into singing before you, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands – Isaiah 55:12
Praise liberates and lubricates. Word-based Praise liberates from all forms of bondage. Praise activates your steps in life: “For you shall go out with joy…” (vs.12). Every day of your life, let “Judah” always go ahead to prevail over the wildness and wickedness in the world. As you switch over to the frequency of Praise, all mountains of opposition and hills of obstruction shall align and harmonize with the divine melody of praise in your life. The trees of the field shall clap in cooperation. Divine transformations will follow: thorns give way to the fir tree; and the brier is replaced by the myrtle tree (vs.13).
Praise is a supernatural Lubricant. When any mechanical system or engine lacks lubrication, it begins to make a cracking or knocking noise. God designed the grease of praise to lubricate lives and reduce spiritual friction, emotional tension, and mental wear and tear. Many lives are near to knocking, because they lack the grease of praise. Nothing greases life like praise. How does it work? Praise activates the anointing that causes the “oil of joy” to flow: “To console those who mourn in Zion, to give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified” (Isa.61:3).
As you release the flow of praise from a heart of faith, beauty and joy replace ashes and grief; positive expectations wipe out despair; while dryness and deadness bow to the soothing comfort of the oil of gladness. God takes away the prison clothes, and provides the garment of praise. Oil is used for different kinds of mechanical and personal lubrication. When the wheels of life begin to make squeaky sounds, it may be a symptom of the need to lubricate them. The lubricant of praise will come in handy to make the machineries of your life move more smoothly rather than grind to a halt.
Psalm 23:5 describes how the freshly anointed person feels comfortable even in the presence of enemies. Oil and ointments make the face to shine and the heart to rejoice (Psa.104:15; Pro.27:9). These apply as well to the Grease of Praise. The ultimate result is that destinies are beautified. Through the instrumentality of Praise, God’s people assume their ordained status as beautiful, established, and majestic trees of righteousness that offer shade and freshness to multitudes beneath!

"But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the Glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory even as by the Spirit of the Lord" (2 Corinthians 3:18).
