Love you all, praying for you.
Have you ever prayed just a thank you prayer? Just thanking God instead of asking Him? God says clearly in His Word that we are to be thankful, to give thanks in every circumstance – for this is God’s will in Christ Jesus concerning you! I just love how specific God gets on this one. He leaves no wiggle-room. Give thanks, in every circumstance, even this one, no exceptions, Because it is God's specific will - for you. This isn't a someone else command, this one's for you. Why is being thankful so helpful? It draws us into God’s presence, and it draws Him to us. Even in the natural, if one of your own children is thankful, so appreciative... you are naturally drawn to that child. You love them all, but you are especially drawn by thankfulness, and will surely give that delightful child everything he or she needs, and probably more. It’s a delight to give to someone who is thankful of heart. Thanksgiving is a magnet for God's favor and blessing. God specifically says thanksgiving is the entry point to His presence - where everything He has for you flows from. Enter His gates with thanksgiving and into His courts with praise, be thankful unto Him and bless His Name. There are many things to be thankful for; everything you can think of that God is… everything you can think of that God has done, Everything you can think of that He’s doing right now, and everything you can think of that He promised, so you can know for sure – He will do it. It’s gonna happen, zero percent chance that it won’t. Some people don't know a lot about God's promises. That's why your PRISM time every day is so important, not only will His Word transform your mind, you will learn about Him, what He does, how He thinks, and what He is about to do. Praying that you will review the Relationship Topic – Thankful 100 - One hundred things to be thankful for that are not money or stuff. But have you ever prayed a Thank You Prayer – for all that God will do – that you specifically asked Him for? Not the new car, the new house, new clothes and new whatever… but those things that He said, that if you ask, He will do. Have you ever prayed a thank you prayer for the grace that you asked for that He is going to give you (not because of a mess up on your part, but to prevent the next mess up on your part. Have you ever prayed a thank you prayer for the wisdom that you asked for that He promised to give you, the strength that you asked for, the heart of thanksgiving that you asked for, the pure heart, the undivided heart to fear His Name that you asked for. He said ask and you will receive, seek and you will find… and then He finishes it with "for everyone who asks receives, and everyone who seeks finds," The things that please Him, that draw your heart and mind and will and desire to please Him... when you ask for these – He said He will answer. I John 5:14 – This is the confidence we have in approaching God; that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us we know that we have what we have asked of him. If you know that you have it - it just makes sense to thank Him. Praying today you will pray thank you prayers for what you asked Him for that He will give you. Not temporary things of this world, but the things of His Spirit that you want to become… to be more like Him. And just thank him for answering that prayer – that you have just prayed. That’s not assuming the sale, that’s the prayer of faith. Faith pleases God. He responds to faith more than He responds to need. If He responded to every need, there would be none. He responds to those who ask in faith believing. And if you thank Him already for answering, it will increase your belief and your faith. He will get bigger, and your request will get smaller. Your faith will grow, the kind of faith that can move mountains – because it touches the heart of the Mountain Mover. Love you all, dad
