Keeping The Spirit Of Thanksgiving

This morning, I look around at all the wonders God has performed and continues to do for me, for my family, and for those we are praying for in need and I am left in total amazement of how much we take for granted. God is forever faithful to watch over us even when we aren't aware of all that is going on around us and how many times in one single day that He has intervened and protected on our behalf. We see things unfold before us and even without a "thank you Lord" or acknowledging it was He who made it all possible, He continues to act on our behalf. What a loving God we serve!

So before I go any further today I want to give a heartfelt depth of gratitude as my soul sings forth, "Thank you for the cross, Lord; Thank you for the price you paid; Bearing all my sin and shame, in love you came and gave Amazing Grace.
Thank you for this love, Lord. Thank you for the nail-pierced hands. Wash me in Your cleansing flow, now all I know; Your forgiveness and embrace. Worthy is the Lamb, seated on the throne, we crown You now with many crowns, You reign victorious! High and lifted up, Jesus, Son of God;The darling of Heaven, crucified; Worthy is the Lamb, Worthy is the Lamb"

"I thank You, Precious Lord, for All your goodness and mercy unto me and those around me;"❤️ "I thank You for blessings untold and all those fresh mercies you bestow upon us each and every morning;"🙌. "I thank you, Lord, for the many healings within my family, myself, and for all those needs we have brought before your Holy throne; and even now you continue to bring to pass healings and freedom from those chains that attempt to bind us. I am eternally grateful that you are my Lord and my Savior, my Redeemer and my Guide; my Healer and Deliverer, my Comfort and Peace, and So Much More; All I will ever need; You Are; and I thank You whole- heartedly for your Love Divine and Amazing Grace!."🙌

I pray the Spirit of thankfulness continues in all of us every day throughout the year and not just the holiday season; so that each day brings Glory and Honor to the Lord in all we do and all we say. May you enjoy a wonderfully blessed season all year through because God loves you and so do I~~~❤️

Being Thankful

Meditating on the goodness of God with thanks giving and I find myself abundantly blessed by His presence in my life. He brings a warm feeling of being loved unconditionally and leaves me with His sweet anointing saturating within. I love to find a hiding place where I can just sit back and enjoy the awesomeness of His sweet anointing; doesn't matter if I'm gathered together with others in worship or in my alone time with Him; God always brings peace of mind as Holy Spirit saturates my inner being with that Sweet Anointing only He delivers.

God continues to do new things in the lives of all those who choose to seek His face; who listen attentively to His voice; and who without reservation, choose to submit to His calling upon their life. Lives forever changed; looking not to the left nor to the right to see what others think; but who through freedom through the power of Christ Jesus, choose to lay aside all weights that once hindered, throwing off all chains that once bound, step into their brand new life recreated in Christ Jesus. Lives now filled with undeniable Power from on High, hearts now filled with His love, and minds now recreated by God unto good works. Lives Forever changed, Forever delivered, Forever grateful, Forever determined to be all they can be for the glory of God and His kingdom sake!

His sweet Anointing brings about utmost praise as we realize where we once were in life is not where we are today; and it's all by the Grace of God. It is not about you or me, but it's ALL about JESUS! It's about the Amazing Grace of God through Christ Jesus and His Unconditional Love that cleanses us and brings us into this newness in Him. It's about realizing the power of God dwelling within us as we are reborn in Him. It's about realizing the third person of the Godhead, Holy Spirit (John 14:17), enabling us to do what we could not do on our own, but now through HIM we can do ALL things (Philippians 4:13). It's about coming to know the person of Holy Spirit and His desire to build us into that full stature of man God predestined us to be before we were even born (Ephesians 4:13).

Knowing the love of Christ Jesus and the power His Spirit instills within brings about the empowering force needed to be victorious over struggles of life; day by day and moment by moment. We should not let the worries of life defeat us when God is living within us. We just have to Know who we are in Him and Whose we are; as we call upon that mighty name of Jesus, that empowers us to become more than conquerors in all things (Romans 8:37. Jesus knew we needed Holy Spirit to live within us; not to lie dormant within, but to empower and guide us in all our ways. So on this day of Thanksgiving, let's be thankful for who we are in Him and allow His sweet anointing to flow within as our strength, our provider, our comforter, our peace; all that we ever need; He is!

Claim your victory today and relax in the Sweet Anointing of His fullness within, and enjoy a wonderfully blessed day, dear friend. God loves you and so do I~~~

A Heart of Thanksgiving

As I continue to prepare for our Thanksgiving gathering tomorrow, I find myself reminiscing good times with family surrounding our table which now seems bare as so many loved ones are now in Heaven and away from our sight. Although warm memories of days gone by bring smiles and warm my heart, it's still so bittersweet and somewhat selfish wishing I could have just one more day of Thanksgiving with them present to enjoy.
But for now, I will have to allow precious memories to fill their spot around my table and share moments that come to mind with those I can still touch and embrace in my arms and be thankful that I have the hope of reuniting with those gone from sight when my life is completed here on earth and never again will we part as we enjoy the blessings Heaven has for all who believe and receive Jesus as their Lord and Savior; to which I am eternally grateful and forever thankful.
So during this holiday season, let's be sure and take a good look around our holiday tables as we give thanks for our loved ones present and let them know how very precious they are to us, because we don't know who may take their heavenly flight before our next gathering. I pray you make it a priority to enjoy your family and friends and have a wonderful time of thanksgiving and safe travel with heartfelt praise for all our precious Lord has done and continues to do for each one of us. 
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! God loves you and so do I~~~

Spirit of Thanksgiving

As the Spirit of Thanksgiving fills the air, my thoughts turn to the One who makes me thankful in all things, my Lord Jesus Christ, and my heart sings forth, "Thank you for the cross, Lord; Thank you for the price You paid; Bearing all my sin and shame, In love You came and gave amazing grace; Thank you for this love, Lord; Thank you for the nail pierced hands; Washed me in Your cleansing flow, Now all I know is Your forgiveness and embrace. Worthy is the Lamb, seated on the throne; We crown You now with many crowns, You reign victorious; High and lifted up, Jesus Son of God; Darling of Heaven crucified, Worthy is the Lamb; Worthy is the Lamb!"

As we approach this special season of Thanksgiving and we busy our self making preparations to be around those we hold dear to our hearts; may we show forth a Spirit of Thanksgiving having our eyes opened to spiritual enlightenment and our hearts filled with God's great Love. May we know in Whom we believe and live in His grace as we share Him with all we entertain and feel His arms embrace us as we offer up thanksgiving as David in Psalm 100;

"Make a joyful noise unto the Lord; all ye lands. Serve the Lord with gladness; Come before His presence with singing. Know ye that the Lord, He is God. It is He that has made us and not we ourselves. We are His people and the sheep of His pasture. Enter into His gates with thanksgiving and into His courts with praise. Be thankful unto Him and praise His name; for the Lord is good! His mercy is everlasting and His truth endures to all generations."

May we rejoice as His people with thankful hearts receiving the new mercies He bestows each new morning. May His Love be reflected in our words and deeds and may He receive glory for all we do within our life. May we look around us and see all the many blessings that have come our way and be thankful unto Him and bless His name, for the Lord is good all the time, and all the time God is good! Amen and Amen!
Enjoy a wonderful Thanksgiving season every one! God loves you and so do I~~~

Because Of Who He Is

"Because of who You are I give You glory, because of who You are I give You praise, Because of who You are I will lift my voice and sing, Lord I worship You because of who You are, I worship You because of who You are. Jehovah Jireh, my Provider; Jehovah Nissi, You reign in Victory; Jehovah Shalom, my Prince of Peace; And I worship You because of Who You Are, I worship You because of who You are!"
This precious medley of Praise and Worship to the King of Kings, The Great I Am, Holy Creator, my ALL in ALL stirs within my spirit. Can't help but take time to acknowledge Who He is and what I am in Him. Cannot even imagine being without Him and knowing of certainty that I would not want to live a day without Him in it!
"This is the Air I breathe, This is the Air I breathe, Your Holy Presence living in me; This is my Daily Bread, This is my Daily Bread, Your very Word Spoken to me; And I... I'm desperate for You; And I... 
I'm lost without You, This is the Air I breathe!" And it just goes on and on and truly friends, He is the Air I breathe; He is my Daily Bread! Where would I be without His presence living within me? and Where would you be?
He is the Wind beneath my wings, the Strength in my weakness; the Restorer of my soul. He Empowers me, Guides me, Comforts me; and Leads me in the path of righteousness for His name sake. There is no where I will go and nothing I will encounter that He is not already aware of and has already made provisions for. He is my Protector, my Deliverer, my Everything; and He is All I need. His Love envelops me, Holy Spirit completes me; His breath breathes Life into my weary soul and brings Peace that nothing can ever compare.
Such is the Love of God reaching down to every human being; desiring to lift us up in His arms and carry us into a higher form of worship than we could ever imagine. He desires to bless us in ways far above any thing we can imagine as our minds are stayed on Him. It's not who we are, but Who He is that makes all the difference. It's having Him within us that gives us power to become more than conquerors in all things! So why not take a moment and acknowledge Him and Who He Is so you can enjoy a wonderfully blessed life because God loves you and so do I~~~

Releasing His Power From Within

Paul's writings in Ephesians reminds us that the same power that raised Jesus from the dead lives within you and me and it's never too late to realize the power necessary to live victoriously in life. I wonder how empowered other believers would be today if those who are strong in the faith, would simply remember to pray God's blessings upon other saints as Paul did in Ephesians 1:16-21, "I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know Him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which He has called you, the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints, and His incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of His mighty strength, which He exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come." 
Can you feel the power in Paul's prayer for his fellow believers? Power prayed down from on High to empower them in their spiritual walk with the Lord! Resurrecting Power that recreates, refreshes, and renews from deep within! Now that's Power; Life-Changing Power; and that's the Power dwelling inside you and me since the day we were reborn into the kingdom of God through Christ Jesus! Power that inspires wisdom and revelation to know Jesus better! Power that sheds spiritual enlightenment in all things pertaining to Righteousness! Power that acknowledges who He is and who we are in Him, Power  that enables us to do above and beyond all we could ever think or imagine because He Lives Within Us! The Same Power that raised Jesus from the dead abides within you and Me; the Power of our precious Holy Spirit! 
What an army of believers would be loosed in this world today if only we prayed one for another on a daily basis. Praying blessings of health, of strength, of spiritual enlightenment, of wisdom and understanding for Christians every where; as well as those in need of a divine touch from Almighty God, would bring such a reflection of God's love that would awaken this world to His wonder working Power and Amazing Grace. With our mind set on Him, Holy Spirit rises within, empowering us to become more than conquerors as we determine to lay down negative thinking and adorn our mind with positive thinking throughout our day. Paul writes in Philippians 4:8, "Finally brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there be any virtue and if there is anything praise worthy- meditate on these things."  
As you go about your day, be mindful that you house the very presence of God, so allow Him to shine forth from deep within, You can enjoy a wonderfully blessed day while remembering to bless others along your way, replacing all negative thoughts with good thoughts. Enjoy your blessed day, dear friends, because God loves you and so do I~~

There Is Hope

Do you feel hopeless today? Feeling as if all is lost? Feeling as if you've wandered so far down the wrong path that there is no hope of returning?
Well, dear friends, I want to tell you there is Hope! Those thoughts in your mind are a lie and from satan himself. I have good news for you! Jesus came to set the captive free! He came to give us liberty and freedom from the bonds of sin, of oppression, and depression. It is never too late to call on Jesus, because He is your deliverer and will be right there; no matter how far you've wandered down that beaten path of hopelessness and despair. 
There will never be a time that God doesn't hear His wayward child crying out for help that He won't hear and reach down to His creation crying out to Him in need of help. He will be right there to wrap you in His arms and cradle you from all harm until you feel His love saturating your spirit making you whole again in Jesus. He will never leave you or forsake you; just as a loving parent, He is right there helping you to gain the strength needed to walk again, but this time it will be in His strength-you will not be alone. Don't believe anyone for a split second, that says you can never return from a beaten path. 
Jesus came so that EVERYONE and that includes you, could be delivered from ALL their sins, ALL their oppression , ALL their depression, and to give us hope and peace that goes beyond all human understanding. He created you and He knows exactly what makes you tick. He knows what makes you think; and He knows you just as you are right now as He reaches out His loving arms in mercy to you just as you are! 
Won't you allow Him into your life and make your life new. You can't change on your own but He can give you the strength, the peace of mind, and the wisdom needed to become a child of the most High God through Jesus, Savior of all mankind! He is the God of not just second chances, but as many as is needed to maintain you until you're strong enough to walk along side with Him sharing in His love. 
Reach out to Him in your desperation and allow Him to work the impossibles in your life and He will bring you joy beyond measure. Trust God because He is forever faithful. Have a blessed day, dear friends, God loves you and so do I~~
