TRUE THANKFULLNESS


BE anxious FOR NOTHING, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with THANKSGIVING, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:6-7, NIV)

Every believer knows they need to be thankful, so we usually just say, "Lord, thanks for the food - and thank you for all the missionaries in the whole wide world, amen!" Now we are thankful! course we know that Jesus is the seed of God. He had to die to be reproduced in us. Are we really thankful? Do we just say words or do we know the power of thanksgiving.Do we know that the seed dwells within us? It grows day and night and we don't know how! The seed was created on the Third Day. Seedtime and harvest are the Third Day truth that we need to grab hold of today. It is the intention of God that those of us who actually live in the Third Day (3rd thousandth year from the cross) know the power of the seed of thanksgiving.

Thankfullness is a much underrated FORCE for believers. It is the MISSING LINK. Thanksgiving is the power cord to finding contentment! It is the avenue to our peace. When we TRUST God, we can be truly thankful. Godly thanksgiving give us immunity to depression, worry, envy, anger, and resentment. It heals our sorrows and disappointments.Thanksgiving will change your future. Losing your worries will open you up to be more clearly  guided by the Holy Spirit. Renew your MIND to this concept(Rom. 12). Allow your thoughts to create a nowness of revelation and purpose. This continual process is known by scientists as imprinting or modeling.  Whatever you call it, start now and just do it! Thanksgiving is not an action nor is it an emotion. It is a state of awareness - of heightened consciousness of the Goodness of God. Thanksgiving is a kingdom perspective that allows us to FULLY POSSESS
our INHERITANCE THROUGH GRATITUDE.

It brings us into a MANIFESTATION of Who  GOD is in us and for us.You have been given 365 days of 24 hours a day to LIVE. Are you thankful? That's - 720 hours a month of LIFE to enjoy! That's 31, 638,000 seconds a month to enjoy   RIGHT NOW! It's time to rejoice with sincerity and purpose. Paul said it this way, "Thanksgiving is our dialect" (Eph 5:3 MSG). It is my prayer that today you actively realize the good things in your life. Begin to have a conscious awareness of having abundance. It's about persistent faith and unrelenting focusing on being thankful. Jesus taught us the principle that to those who are conscious of much, more will be given! (Lk. 12:48). 

The energy of thanksgiving causes wonderful new things to manifest in your life. Sometimes, it may seem like nothing is happening - but something is always happening when you are thankful. Be thankful about what you have gained - not what has been lost (the water glass being half full not half empty). Be thankful about what you have rather than pondering about what you don't have. Be thankful for what works in your life right now. Be thankful for the times when you win and don't remind yourself of the times when you failed.Be thankful for those things that make you happy and put behind you thoughts about being sad.Be thankful for those who love you and forgive those who have hurt and disappointed you along the way! Be thankful for your talents and don't worry about what you can't do.Be thankful to be part of the Body of Christ and enjoy being who you are in that Body. Be thankful for theGoodness of the Lord and how He longs to bring blessing to you right now!
