LET THANKFULNESS RULE in your heart. – COLOSSIANS 3 : 15, ACTS 9 : 18, REVELATION 19 : 5 – 6, PSALM 100 : 4 – 5

https://youtu.be/cySQQiu_eA8

“LET THANKFULNESS RULE in your heart. As you thank GOD for blessings in your life, a marvelous thing happens. It is as if scales fall off your eyes, enabling you to see more and more of GOD’S glorious riches. With your eyes thus opened, you can help yourself to whatever you need from GOD’S treasure house. Each time you receive one of The LORD’S golden gifts, let your thankfulness sing out praises to HIS Name. “Hallelujahs” are the language of heaven, and they can become the language of your heart. A life of praise and thankfulness becomes a life filled with miracles. Instead of trying to be in control, you focus on GOD and what HE is doing. This is the power of praise: centering your entire being in GOD. This is how The LORD created you to live, for GOD made you in HIS own image. Enjoy abundant life by overflowing with praise and thankfulness.”

Scripture

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. COLOSSIANS 3 : 15

Immediately, something like scales fell from Saul’s eyes, and he could see again. He got up and was baptized. ACTS 9 : 18

Then a voice came from the throne, saying: “Praise our God, all you his servants, you who fear him, both small and great!” Then I heard what sounded like a great multitude, like the roar of rushing waters and like loud peals of thunder, shouting: “Hallelujah! For our Lord God Almighty reigns.” REVELATION 19 : 5 – 6

Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. For the LORD is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations. PSALM 100 : 4 – 5

Prayer

Prayer: Lord let thankfulness rule in my heart. The more I’m grateful the more you open my eyes to see even more of your glorious riches. May Hallelujah be the language of my heart so I can live the abundant life you created me for. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭15:58

“So, my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and immovable. Always work enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless.” ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭15:58‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Do you ever feel like your work for the Lord is all for nothing? Do you feel like you’re not reaching anyone? This scripture tells us that all of our witnesses are reaching and will reach the people. We will probably never know what impact we may have had on someone, but the Lord knows. Today’s prayer is that we would never give up telling people what Jesus has done in our life and will do in theirs …… Be Blessed

Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new 2 Corinthians 5:17

2 Peter‬ ‭1:2‬

“May God give you more and more grace and peace as you grow in your knowledge of God and Jesus our Lord.” 2 Peter‬ ‭1:2‬ ‭NLT‬‬

The more we grow in the word of God the more we evolve , the more we evolve the more peace we will have in the promise!!! This scripture talks about growth! Are you growing? Or do you need a lot more water? Today’s prayer is that we all would strive to have that perfect peace of Jesus! the only way is to get tons of water and ensure growth ….. Be Blessed

Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new 2 Corinthians 5:17

Genesis‬ ‭12‬:‭2

I will make you a great nation; I will bless you And make your name great; And you shall be a blessing. ‭Genesis‬ ‭12‬:‭2‬ NKJV

Are you Blessed? Are you blessing others? Abraham was told by God I will bless you and you shall be a Blessing. God was telling him don’t just take your blessings and keep them all to yourself, have you ever been in a situation where you didn’t know how it was going to work out and then all of a sudden the solution shows up? If you’re a blessing to others the blessings will show up in return. Don’t give blessings in expectation of reward!!! Just know that God is a God of His word. Today I pray that we would all remember our blessings and be thankful, in return when you see someone in need return the blessing and give thanks that God has given you the means to bless someone………”Be Blessed & Be A Blessing”

Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new 2 Corinthians 5:17

THANKFULNESS takes the sting out of adversity. – EPHESIANS 5 : 20, PSALM 118 : 1, PSALM 89 : 15

https://youtu.be/TP7-fJ-DCTU

“THANKFULNESS takes the sting out of adversity. That is why GOD has instructed you to give thanks for everything. There is an element of mystery in this transaction: You give GOD thanks (regardless of your feelings), and GOD gives you Joy (regardless of your circumstances). This is a spiritual act of obedience—at times, blind obedience. To people who don’t know The LORD intimately, it can seem irrational and even impossible to thank GOD for heartrending hardships. Nonetheless, those who obey The LORD in this way are invariably blessed, even though difficulties may remain. Thankfulness opens your heart to GOD’S Presence and your mind to GOD’S thoughts. You may still be in the same place, with the same set of circumstances, but it is as if a light has been switched on, enabling you to see from The LORD’S perspective. It is this Light of GOD’S Presence that removes the sting from adversity.”

Scripture

. . . always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. EPHESIANS 5 : 20

Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever. PSALM 118 : 1

Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light of your presence, O LORD. PSALM 89 : 15

Prayer

Prayer: God as I give you thanks regardless of my circumstances, open my heart to your presence and my mind to your thoughts. Remove the sting from adversity as my eyes are fixed on you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Proverbs‬ ‭29:11

“A fool vents all his feelings, But a wise man holds them back.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭29:11‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Do you vent about everything? Or do you take it to the Lord? This proverb calls venting foolish, but to hold the feelings back is wise. Today’s prayer is that we would not vent! Venting becomes gossip and I believe this is displeasing to God, take your issues to God that is the wise choice…….Be Blessed

Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new 2 Corinthians 5:17

AS YOU SIT QUIETLY IN GOD”S PRESENCE, let GOD fill your heart and mind with thankfulness. – ROMANS 8 : 38 – 39, PSALM 4 : 7 – 8

https://youtu.be/_TJq86riws4

“AS YOU SIT QUIETLY IN GOD”S PRESENCE, let GOD fill your heart and mind with thankfulness. This is the most direct way to achieve a thankful stance. If your mind needs a focal point, gaze at JESUS CHRIST, The LORD’S Love poured out for you on the cross. Remember that nothing in heaven or on earth can separate you from that Love. This remembrance builds a foundation of gratitude in you, a foundation that circumstances cannot shake. As you go through this day, look for tiny treasures strategically placed along the way. GOD lovingly goes before you and plants little pleasures to brighten your day. Look carefully for them, and pluck them one by one. When you reach the end of the day, you will have gathered a lovely bouquet. Offer it up to The LORD with a grateful heart. Receive GOD’S Peace as you lie down to sleep, with thankful thoughts playing a lullaby in your mind.”

Scripture

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. ROMANS 8 : 38 – 39

You have filled my heart with greater joy than when their grain and new wine abound. I will lie down and sleep in peace, for you alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety. PSALM 4 : 7 – 8

Prayer

Prayer: Lord as I sit quietly with you, fill my mind with thankfulness. Open my eyes to see the big and small blessings you have placed in my life today. And when my mind needs a place to focus, remind me to focus on Jesus. In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.

‭‭1 John‬ ‭4:4‬

“But you belong to God, my dear children. You have already won a victory over those people, because the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world.” ‭‭1 John‬ ‭4:4‬

The world can just straight out kick your butt!!! But will you let it? This scripture tells us that greater is Jesus that is in us than Satan who is in the world. Day by day can be rough but we have to confess this scripture when the trials arise. Today’s prayer is that we would not become prisoners to the evil ways of the world and fully understand our eternal future……Be Blessed

A THANKFUL ATTITUDE opens windows of heaven. – HABAKKUK 3 : 17 – 18, PSALM 46 : 1

https://youtu.be/rJUe05oJQKM

“A THANKFUL ATTITUDE opens windows of heaven. Spiritual blessings fall freely onto you through those openings into eternity. Moreover, as you look up with a grateful heart, you get glimpses of Glory through those windows. You cannot yet live in heaven, but you can experience foretastes of your ultimate home. Such samples of heavenly fare revive your hope. Thankfulness opens you up to these experiences, which then provide further reasons to be grateful. Thus, your path becomes an upward spiral: ever increasing in gladness. Thankfulness is not some sort of magic formula; it is the language of Love, which enables you to communicate intimately with GOD. A thankful mind-set does not entail a denial of reality with its plethora of problems. Instead, it rejoices in The LORD JESUS CHRIST, your Savior, in the midst of trials and tribulations. The LORD is your refuge and strength, an ever-present and well-proved help in trouble.”

Scripture

Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will be joyful in God my Savior. HABAKKUK 3 : 17 – 18

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. PSALM 46 : 1

Prayer

Prayer: Lord no matter what goes on this week help me to have a thankful mind-set. To praise you on the mountain top and in the valley. May you be my focal point this Thanksgiving week and may I be a reflection of Christ wherever I go. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

2 Timothy‬ ‭4‬:‭18

Yes, and the Lord will deliver me from every evil attack and will bring me safely into his heavenly Kingdom. All glory to God forever and ever! Amen. ‭2 Timothy‬ ‭4‬:‭18‬ NLT

Sometimes it seems like the attacks are never ending, we are surrounded by evil all day every day, but in this scripture Paul writes take heart God will deliver us from all evil. God’s plan for us is not to suffer but to have peace and joy knowing what awaits us when this life is done. Today I pray that we would all meditate on this scripture and know that we serve an all loving, caring, and protecting God…….Be Blessed
