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!
