THE AMAZING POWER OF BEING THANKFUL

1 Corinthians 15:57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

I’m learning there is a great power released when we’re thankful to God as it gives Him the glory He is due, it gives place to Him as the source of everything good in our lives. It also releases more grace into our lives and we all want more grace, more favour!😊

Jesus gave thanks to His Heavenly Father when He was given 5 loaves and 2 fish, even though it wasn’t enough in the natural to feed the huge crowd of people. Nevertheless He was thankful and God miraculously multiplied it to be more than enough with leftovers. Being thankful brought increase.

A man came to a Pastor and asked him to pray that he would be set free from a smoking addiction as he’d tried everything and failed. Pastor asked him if he would do as he said. The man agreed and was told to say ‘ThankYou Lord for setting me free from smoking’ every time he thought about a cigarette or lit one up. The man couldn’t understand how that could work as he would still be smoking but he said he’d do it.

Some weeks later after constantly thanking God all through the day for setting him free, despite the fact he was still smoking, it got down in his spirit and he suddenly felt something break off of him and he realised he was totally free of it and hasn’t smoked since! Being thankful brought deliverance.

He had discovered the power of being thankful to God for something even before he could see it because he chose to believe God was working and doing it. We can do the same thing.

We too can thank God for setting us free from whatever has us bound, whether it’s lack of finance, deliverance from weakness or diseases. All day we can say ‘Thank You Lord for setting me free from……’ whatever it is you need, or  ‘Thank You Lord for providing…..’. God’s ways are not our ways!😊

Galatians 5:1 So Christ has truly set us free…. The reason we can do that is because Jesus came to set us free and has done it all already for us on the Cross but we have to believe it and appropriate it by faith. Let me encourage you to remember whom the Son sets free, is free indeed, and that’s you.😊Thank You Lord!

Have a blessed weekend.x
