November's Wisdom Word: Thanksgiving

 [Ephesians 5:17-21 KJV] “Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. And be not drunk      

 with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs,      

 singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; submitting yourselves one to another in the fear (reverence) of God.”       

 Be not unwise or ignorant to the Word or the will of God. We must know what the Father’s instructions to us mean and the principle reasons for His Holy Word. They are for wisdom and guidance. Be being filled with the Holy Spirit is not a      

 suggestion, but it is an instruction in the right ways of the Kingdom of God for His Church. 

Thanksgiving is a lifestyle choice we all can make into a habitual way of living, even when our lives are being attacked and trials come. We can make ourselves give thanks to our Father for His provisional supply of Holy Ghost power to come and     preserve our families from destructive forces of darkness that come to steal, kill and destroy.  

We can give thanks to our Father for His Son, Jesus, who for the joy of His Church, He gave His life, shed His blood, and took our sins, sickness and      

disease, and our poverty upon Himself. His love proved to be the very antidote for our sins.     

 We always give thanks in all things Jesus has done for us.    

 The Apostle Paul wrote in [Philippians 5:6-7 KJV] “Be careful (anxious) for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all     understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”    

Thanksgiving at the end of your prayer of faith guarantees you are receiving the thing you prayed about. Why? Because thanksgiving is your seal that says, “I believe, that I already have what I petitioned the Father for.”  It is your acknowledgement that Father God hears your prayer, and He has answered you the moment you asked. What a beautiful and wonderful God we serve, and all because of Jesus’ work of redemption!!! 

 Love Always Wins,
