The Power Of Thanksgiving

We are very rapidly approaching the Thanksgiving holiday. It is by far my favorite one of the entire year. Its the only time that my family comes together in its fullness. Everytime were gathered together on that sacred day there is an annointing released that cannot be acurately articulated. Its something that ought be celebrated each day of our lives. The fact is thanksgiving is a catalyst that keeps us in his perfect will. In everything give thanks for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning us(1 Thess 5:18) The more thankful we become the more we'll recieve the miracle of multiplication. Remember when Jesus multiplied the fish & loaves feeding five thousand people? The very fist thing he did was take them into his hands and GAVE THANKS. Being thankful for what we already have becomes a gateway of much more being multipled into our lives. Were practicing the power of contentment. People are often unthankful. The focus is on what they dont have and not on what they do. The bible says in the book of Romans when we fail to give thanks are understanding becomes darkened. We'll be the like the boy named Jimmie that will take whatever you'll gimmie! Thanksgiving is the key to a successful prayerlife. In everything by prayer & supplication with THANKSGIVING let your requests be made known unto God(Phil 4:6) I have heard it said that "Thanksgiving is like the lid on the jar of our faith". It is pivotal in keeping our prayer request before the throne of God rolling like streams of sweet smelling savor in the nostrils of the Heavenly Father. On that day while your enjoying the turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and pies. Please take the time to be thankful to the God that has given ytou the appetite to eat it. Please be thankful unto God for the precious monumental moments that we've been given on this side of the Jordan river to be with family and friends. Lets live each day as if its our lastday cause one day if the Lord tarries his coming it will be!
