The miracle of thank you. Now, most people think that
-
thank you is is just good manners, just being polite, OK?
-
We teach our kids to say yes, please, thank you.
-
When somebody gives us tea or opens the door or, you know,
-
gives us something, we teach our kids to say thank you.
-
That's great. That's good manners.
-
That's good. But in the Kingdom there's more,
-
and the Kingdom is deeper. And I'm going to show you today
-
from the word of God how Thanksgiving is so deep, it's so
-
powerful. Thanksgiving is not just being
-
polite, but Thanksgiving is powerful.
-
Come on, somebody. Yeah, Thanksgiving is powerful.

-
goodness of God. It's just powerful.

The goodness of God. Wow.

His goodness, He's so good, goodness of God, that one song
-
of elevation being so good. Those lyrics has just been in my
-
heart this week. God has been so good.

I just want to praise him. I just want to thank you.
-
God has been faithful and I believe that is the kind of
-
heart that God is stirring in this house today in our hearts,
-
in our lives of a gratitude, thankful hearts.
-
God has been so faithful. I just want to say thank you,
-
Lord Hallelujah. And so before we go any further,
-
I really feel, and this is the way that the Lord showed me that
-
we need to give a big thank you to Jesus Christ himself.
-
I really feel that. And yes, we say thank you and
-
it's good manage to each other all of that.
-
But today is a day of giving thanks to Jesus Christ himself.
-
So very quickly, just truly stand to your feet, lift those
-
hands high. Let's give him the loudest, most
-
grateful shout in the house. On the count of three, we're
-
going to shout thank you, Jesus. 123 shot.

I want you to meet it, and I want it louder.
-
OK you ready? 123 shot in your best shot in
-
your best, best place. And voice of Hallelujah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You may be seated.

You may be seated. I feel the Holy Ghost moving
-
already. Because we are not just talking
-
about good manners. We are not just talking about
-
being polite. We are talking about power.
-
We are talking about the miracle of saying thank you.
-
The miracle. It's a powerful miracle trigger
-
that is about to explode in your life.

Are you ready for this trigger? Are you ready for this?

That's Thanksgiving. It's a come on.

So it's are you going to get this?
-
It's a miracle trigger. Somebody grab this whole.
-
Just grab this word today. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
-
Follow flow, flow with me because this is going to go.
-
We're going to go for this because we're talking about
-
miracles and miracle triggers and this.
-
The devil hates this message. The enemy hates this message
-
because Thanksgiving is the sound of breaking Chinese.
-
That's why the devil hides this message of Thanksgiving because
-
it's the sound. It's open heavens.
-
It's the sound of revival. Hallelujah.
-
So I'm going to show you something powerful in Luke
Luke 17 chapter mention
-
chapter 17. So let's go to Luke chapter 17.
Luke 17 chapter mention
-
Somebody say I am ready for the word.
-
Ready for the word. Let's just pray.
-
Father, we thank you for your presence in this room.
-
Lord, we thank you for bringing us thus far.
-
Lord, Holy Spirit, anoint my laps to peace.
-
Anoint our ears to hear. Let faith arise.
-
Lord, we pray that you give us a fresh revelation of the power of
-
gratitude, the power of Thanksgiving, and let Jesus
-
Christ be glorified in everything.
-
And Lord, we thank you in advance for what you're about to
-
do in this place. In Jesus mighty name, we pray
-
and somebody shout A and Hallelujah.
-
So yeah, in Luke chapter 17, Jesus is walking on the border
Luke 17 chapter mention
-
of Samaria and Galilee, another distance.
-
We see these these Ted lepers and they cry out Jesus have
-
mercy on us. OK, they are they select they
-
are isolated, rejected 10 lepers.
-
And so Jesus did not give them a long sermon.
-
Jesus said simply said go show yourselves with the priests.
-
And so here they are. They obey and they go to on
-
their way to the priest. But here is the turn 10 are
-
healed, but only one comes back. Only one realizes on my way when
-
his walking is only so they're all healed, all ten of them.
-
But there's one that when his teeth is healed, so they
-
cleansed OK, their skin clears up OK.
-
And so this one turns around when he realizes that he's
-
cleansed, that he's healed, that he set free.
-
And he, the Bible says that he went back to Jesus, praised and
-
worshipped with a loud voice that's overflowing gratitude,
-
that is Thanksgiving. So he comes right there, he's
-
healed and he turns back, start praising with the loud voice,
-
throws himself at the feet of Jesus, Thank you, Jesus.
-
He doesn't silently mumble. He doesn't quietly, silently
-
words, but thank you, thank you, Jesus.
-
The Bible is very, very, very clear on the fact that it was a
-
loud. Thank you.
-
OK, Thank you for that. Thank you.
-
In a little bit. No, no, the Bible says it very
-
clearly. And it's time for the church to
-
be loud again. I'm telling you, it's Bible.
-
It's Bible. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
-
It's going to happen. It's going to break loose.
-
OK. 10 got healed, one came back, one was loud, one thank
-
God, one had grateful attitude. Thank you, Jesus.
-
And Jesus noticed something like, listen, we're not ten
-
clinched. Where is all the others?
-
Ten clinched. Where is the other 9?
-
What's happened to the nine? OK, everybody said fat.
-
Where is the one comes back and Jesus the one at his feet.
-
Jesus looks at him and he says to him, arise ago, your faith
-
has made you wow. And now the translator says your
-
faith has made you whole. See, that's another level.
-
Yeah, Yeah, that's another level.
-
OK, so I want you to see there's another level today.
-
Hallelujah. Let's just read that.
-
OK, Luke 17, verse 15, verse 19. One of them, when he saw he was
-
healed, came back praising God in a loud.
-
Somebody just underlining your Bible, just say loud voice, OK?
-
Not a whisper, not a mumble. He threw himself at Jesus's feet
-
and thank you with a loud voice. And he was a Samaritan.
-
Jesus asked. We're not all 10 cleansed, so
-
where's the other nine? OK, because heaven expects
-
Thanksgiving. Heaven notices Thanksgiving.
-
They're all but healed, but heaven expects Thanksgiving.
-
Has no one returned to give praise to God except this
-
foreigner? Then he said to him, rise and
-
go. Your faith has made you.
-
Wow. OK again all 10 received healing
-
but only came one came back to say thank you.
-
Now get this. Only one turned a healing into
-
Thanksgiving. OK, Only one turned the healing
-
into Thanksgiving, and Thanksgiving brought that person
-
into a deeper level. Thanksgiving brought that person
-
into something more, something greater, into a miracle of
-
wholeness. Come on, somebody's getting
-
this. So everybody got healed, but
-
this one went further and deeper.
-
So he got more out. So he came into a miracle of
-
wholeness. That means Thanksgiving brought
-
him. Wholeness made him whole.
-
And then so Thanksgiving, it didn't just celebrate the
-
miracle. Thanksgiving completed the
-
miracle. It sealed the miracle from glory
-
to glory. OK, So it made him whole.
-
So it took him from I got my healing to what I needed to.
-
I got to meet the one who is my everything That's deeper, that's
-
deeper. Somebody's getting this.
-
It's deeper from just. I got my healing.
-
I got my touch. I got.
-
Yeah. OK, that's fine.
-
But listen, he went deeper. He made him.
-
Oh, Jesus. And that's all that you need.
-
Yo, somebody's getting this because you want to stand in the
-
presence of peace. He got to beat you.
-
Jesus is all that you need. So from my godfather to
-
everything to Jesus, he got to get into the presence of Jesus.
-
OK, so healing is God touching you, but Thanksgiving is you
-
touching God. Oh, Hallelujah.
-
Somebody shout Hallelujah. Come on, give them some praise
-
in this place. So in that one story we see
-
three groups of people. There's always three kinds of
-
people in a move of God, OK, there's receivers, observers and
-
returners. So receivers, OK, that's a group
-
of people. Got a touch?
-
Then you get observers. Those are spectators, people
-
that's on the sidelines watching and observing.
-
Then you get returners. Those are people that come back
-
and say thank you and give God all the glory.
-
And so we see this one. So ten were cleansed, same
-
miracle, same healing, same anointing, same mercy to all ten
-
of them. But out of the 10, we see only
-
one returning. Now, I don't know about you, but
-
I don't want to be an observer standing on the sidelines to
-
observe. I also don't just want to be a
-
receiver. OK, please move on.
-
Goodbye. See you, I don't want to, I
-
don't know about you, but I want to be a returner.
-
I want to stay at the feet of Jesus.
-
I want to look at the feet of Jesus in Thanksgiving.
-
And oh, Lord Jesus, you did that for me.
-
You just you yield. I want to say thank you.
-
Somebody shall thank you, Lord. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
-
Psalm chapter 50, verse 23, those who sacrifice, thank
-
offerings honor me. OK, so that's the Bible says
-
that Thanksgiving it honors God Thanksgiving, it prepares for
-
more of the goodness of God to throw into our lives because
-
somebody's going to get that Thanksgiving.
-
Listen, understand, grab hold of this because Thanksgiving
-
increases your capacity. OK, we all like, please give me
-
more, give me more, give me more.
-
We all ask for more. Come on.
-
Let's be honest in this judge. I get it all the time.
-
Give me more. OK, how Thanksgiving increases
-
your capacity to go from just make me wild to wholeness.
-
Come on, you got to get there somebody Ten were they the Bible
-
says that were healed and claims, but one was made whole.
-
It's a deeper level. How did he get more?
-
Yes, simple from just the healing to wholeness because
-
remember the leopards, they've lost fingers, they've lost the
-
OK, so what's happened when he came back?
-
So there might have been a cleansing of the skin.
-
Leopards you go. But what happened when he got
-
back, when he said thank you to Jesus when he returned.
-
You see some people, they wake up in the morning and they've
-
first spiritual gift is complaining.
-
And so the alarm goes off and it's like it's Monday morning.
-
Oh, it's raining. I hide my job.
-
Oh, complaining. Yeah, what a spiritual gift
-
complaining. Oh, I hide these kids.
-
I'm like these kids, these I just complaining the job, the
-
kids, the dog complaining. OK, By 8:00 AM, you know,
-
they've reached. They grab hold of the phone,
-
scrolling, read bad news headline.
-
But I mean, there's like already like a whole 10 bad headlines.
-
No wonder they feel heavy. You know, one man said that
-
every morning I have a choice. I can arise and shine or I can
-
arise and whine. Yeah, some of us don't even need
-
to enemy to attack us. We attack ourselves with our own
-
mouth before the coffee. We don't even need the enemy or
-
the devil or demons to attack us.
-
We attack ourselves with our mouth.
-
So what if instead of good Lord, each morning flip it around and
-
say good morning, Lord, thank you that I'm alive.
-
Thank you that I've got a roof over my head.
-
I've got food on the table. Thank you, I've got clothes to
-
wear. Thank you that this is a good
-
day and that you're with me today and that you have got good
-
things in store for me today. Thankful people don't rise and
-
whine. Thankful people rise and shine.
-
Somebody shot. Rise and shine.
-
Tell your neighbor. Rise and shine.
-
Rise and shine. For your lighters Come.
-
Yeah. You know, even science is
-
catching up with us. Yeah.
-
Sciences doctors, researchers, they're seeing this now in
-
studies they have found. I'll read you the the latest
-
study says how show grateful people sleep better.
-
Yeah. So grateful people sleep better,
-
have less anxiety and depression, bounce back faster
-
from stress and trauma. So it's very simple.
-
Science is now catching up with the Bible has been saying one of
-
my favorite verses. First Thessalonians 518 in
-
everything effects one of my favorite verses in everything.
-
Give thanks. Are you coming, sweetheart?
-
Oh yay, that's amazing. My God, for like in the I5 AI
-
love this. I mean my God, I've got my sweet
-
ID on the front row. How amazing is that?
-
This is awesome. So I'm just sharing one of my
-
favorite verses First a Thessalonians 5A in everything.
-
Give thanks. Isn't that amazing, brother
-
Jules? I mean, that is awesome.
-
Yeah. Come on now.
-
In everything. So that means OK.
-
I give thanks not just in the good days when the bank account
-
is full, but I give thanks in every day, in the good days, the
-
bad days, the hard and the easy days.
-
OK. In the storm and in the victory.
-
We give thanks in all, the Bible says, in all circumstances.
-
OK, So we give thanks in the valley and on the mountains.
-
Yes, I met somebody. Now let me read that to you
-
because this is a powerful verse.
-
It's First Thessalonians 5, verse 18.
-
It says in everything, give thanks for this is the will of
-
God in Christ Jesus for you. So take note of that in
-
everything. I mean, that's not just a nice
-
little cliche, a nice little verse.
-
Now that is life to our bodies, our souls, to our emotions as
-
life to give thanks. Can you say I meant somebody?
-
Because I mean, when you read through the Psalms, David knew
-
about waking up and living under pressure.
-
And the Bible says he commanded his soul.
-
Command yourself. And the Bible says that he
-
strengthened himself in the world.
-
Come on. We got to start talking to
-
ourselves, Judge. We got to start encouraging
-
ourselves. Some of us, you would have to.
-
Some days you got to do this. You have to do because listen,
-
there's thoughts, there's worries, there's emails that hit
-
before we even get out of bed. And so we have got to decide,
-
OK, God, you have never failed me and you're not going to fail
-
me now. You've always been faithful.
-
You've always brought me through.
-
You are faithful. Hallelujah, somebody.
-
OK, that's the introduction. Let's got the foundation.
-
Now can we go deeper, somebody? Because Jesus shows us another
-
level, a deeper level, OK? Because gratitude is not just
-
something that we do after the work.
-
In fact, it sparks the one. Yeah, Jesus did not just have.
-
I thank you after the miracle. He thanked God before the
-
miracle. Oh, right.
-
God, I feel anointing. Come on.
-
That's next level. This is you, somebody.
-
I want you to see this another level.
-
We are going deeper on Thanksgiving because giving
-
thanks is not just giving thanks after things change, but before
-
they change, before they shout, before the miracle.
-
Thanking while it still looks difficult, Thanking while it
-
still looks impossible. Are you with me, somebody?
-
Thanksgiving is a miracle trigger.
-
What if I told you just two simple words, thank you could
-
unlock miracles in your life. And I'm not talking about good
-
manners, being polite. I'm talking about power.
-
Are you getting this Somebody, John Chapter 6, Jesus on the
John 6 chapter mention
-
hillside, thousands of people listening all day.
-
At the end they are hungry. Now here comes the disciples and
-
he's like OK well let's do the maths right?
-
Let's look at wages, right? So salary right?
-
We work out about 8 months salary.
-
It's not going to be enough to buy enough bread for every
-
person yet to have one pint of bread.
-
Here comes a little boy with his lunch packed lunch, right?
-
What we've got, We've got 5 loves, 2 features in the natural
-
impossible. There's thousands of people.
-
OK, right. Watch this.
-
It says John chapter 6 verses 11.
-
What's now what? Jesus.
-
Jesus then took the louse. Somebody under the light, just
-
say give go. Thanks.
-
Right. That's the key.
-
I want you to see this miracle being released that's been
-
triggered. It says distributed to those who
-
were seated as much as they wanted.
-
He did the same with the fish. What?
-
OK, thanks. Somebody say go.
-
Thanks. OK, now notice the order he
-
takes what seems too small. OK, OK, thanks.
-
And then where was the miracle trigger?
-
Yes, Thanksgiving. Then the multiplication
-
happened. Come on, somebody.
-
Jesus doesn't say, Father, this is not enough.
-
This is just too small. No, he gave thanks while it
-
still looks cool. You see, this is for most of us.
-
We want to thank God all for the miracle.
-
We want to thank God. Once the Job promotion comes,
-
thank you God. Once the healing comes or I'm
-
healed that once the pain leaves, then I will thank God.
-
Once the breakthrough comes, then I'll once the the the
-
miracle happens, then I will thank and praise God.
-
OK, but Jesus shows us a better way.
-
I want you to see his example, his model, his parts, and he
-
shows us a better way. Thank God.
-
While it still looks like it's not enough, while it looks like
-
it's useful. Wow.
-
OK, thank him with the five loaves and the 2 fish in your
-
hand. Come on somebody Lord, I thank
-
you. What I do have you see it.
-
Let's not focus on what we don't have, especially in this world
-
we're living in on Facebook and things you can just see a lot of
-
people. Let's not focus on.
-
Let's focus on what we do have Thank the Lord and say thank the
-
Lord that you are the cloud of full reputation.
-
Don't get stars. This whole Oh my God, I feel the
-
anointing in this place. Yeah, Yeah.
-
Come on. Amen.
-
So we thank God, because maybe right now all that you see is
-
just five loaves and two fish. Maybe right now all that you see
-
is just small. Just like it looks small, You
-
know, it's just not enough straight.
-
Not enough money, not enough resources, not enough time, not
-
enough business, not enough opportunities.
-
Don't despise it. Hold it up before the law.
-
And to what Jesus did. Thanks.
-
Oh, somebody shall take you. Yeah.
-
Yeah. Hallelujah.
-
Come on, everybody. Love those hands and just give
-
him some thanks right now. Thank Him for what you have.
-
Don't focus on what you don't have.
-
Thank him for the small. Thank him for the five loaves
-
and the two fish. Come on, somebody shout.
-
Thank you, Jesus, trap your hands and rejoice.
-
Thank you all. Thank you for my family.
-
Thank you for my spouse, my kids.
-
Thank you for what I do have at the bank.
-
Thank you for the resources. Thank you.
-
Lord. I hate my job.
-
Thank you. I've got a job.
-
Yeah. Oh, Oh, God.
-
Oh, this small apartment, this small flag.
-
Thank God you've got a roof over our heads, Ness.
-
Thanksgiving. It's not just the response after
-
the miracle. Thanksgiving is the trigger that
-
released the miracle. Get that somebody that releases
-
the miracle. When we take what we have in our
-
lives and we give thanks, watch him multiply it.
-
Come on, somebody's going to get this today.
-
Hallelujah. That's the trigger.
-
Can you say I mean, somebody. Now let me take you to the
-
ultimate graveyard situation, this graveyard moment where
-
Lazarus in the tomb in John Chapter 11, Lazarus has been
John 11 chapter mention
-
dead for four days now in the natural it's over, it's done,
-
the funeral is over. But watch Jesus John 1141.
-
So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said,
-
Father, somebody shout, I thank you that you've heard me, OK, I
-
thank you when he said Lazarus was still dead, no pulse, no
-
movement, no signs of life. But Jesus already said, thank
-
you, Father, that you've heard my prayer, thank you that you've
-
heard me. Lazarus is still dead, no sign
-
of life. He's still.
-
So why did Jesus, he thanked God before the miracle.
-
I want you to see the miracle trigger because he thanked God
-
before the miracle before. So here he is, you thank God,
-
standing right in front of a dead grave, a dead situation, a
-
Lazarus, A graveyard situation. And some of us, at the moment we
-
are standing in front of a Lazarus grave situation.
-
Something in your life that feels dead and buried.
-
OK. A marriage that looks dead.
-
A medical situation that looks final finances that's been dead
-
for the four days Greece that's like buried.
-
It just feels like it's buried and the enemy whispers and says
-
listen, it's too late. It's just always be like that.
-
But Jesus, he models for us. He shows us the example and that
-
is a pre answer Thanksgiving. Pre answer Thanksgiving is very
-
simple. It's forgiving.
-
Thanks in advance. Yeah.
-
Yeah. Come on, somebody.
-
Yeah. So right there in front of
-
death, in front of the dead situation.
-
OK, He said, Father, I thank you that you have heard me.
-
OK, You've already so in that moment of Thanksgiving, in that
-
moment that Jesus is giving thanks before that triggered the
-
miracle was released, but Thanksgiving triggered the
-
miracle to be released right there.
-
Boom life exploded in that tomb. Life exploded.
-
These Lazarus have risen from the why because Jesus name
-
thanks Hallelujah, somebody shall thank you Jesus.
-
That same power is available today choice.
-
It is available for you today. The same power.
-
Think now of one dead situation that you are believing God for.
-
And thank Him as if it's already alive.
-
Come on. Come on.
-
Thank him as if it's already. Maybe it's your marriage,
-
finances, career, business. Thank Him.
-
It's already. Yeah.
-
Yeah. Finally.
-
Yes, that's right. You thank him like he's already
-
alive. So right now I want you to
-
declare that I want you to say, Father, I thank you that you
-
have hurt me. I thank you.
-
Resurrection power is moving right now.
-
I thank you that what looks dead is about to live again.
-
Somebody said, Alleluia, come on, somebody's child fight, you
-
know, See, that's not wishful thinking.
-
That is faith speaking. It's a language of faith because
-
in the Kingdom of God, we don't wait for the miracle and then
-
say thanks. We give thanks in advance.
-
We give thanks before the mirror and we watch the miracles chase
-
us down. That's the Kingdom principle.
-
And the Holy Spirit is moving in this place.
-
There's a shift taking place right here.
-
Miracles are about to be released right now.
-
And the tomb is open, Right. Somebody, somebody has to
-
release the trigger. I sense that.
-
I sense that. I sense that there's gonna
-
shift. The 2 is open.
-
Yes. Yes.
-
Yes. Yes.
-
Oh, Hallelujah. Come on, take it.
-
Yeah, it's not. I mean, you might be seated.
-
Hallelujah. Something is shifted.
-
My God. Jeez.
-
You see, that's what's happened. Something this place.
-
Somebody's just released the trigger.
-
Yeah, I've been doing some hunting and I know what it means
-
when I have that and when I have when I, when I take that
-
trigger, I I know what happens because when I have the rifle
-
and I put that scope right there on on the target and I I know
-
what happens. That's what's happened just
-
right now in this place. I see it's open.
-
Somebody has released the trigger.
-
Yeah, the trigger of Thanksgiving.
-
I'm telling you, it's a Kingdom principle of releasing miracles
-
in your life. Oh, my God.
-
Glory be to God. Thank you, Jesus, because that's
-
Thanksgiving is action. It's faith in action.
-
Lord, I thank you. That what you have promised
-
you'll bring it to pass, but it is coming.
-
So when you thank God, before you see this sign, before you
-
see in the national manifest, before you feel the pain is
-
gone, you thank God before by the starts of Jesus, I am
-
healed. Oh, this pain in my mouth, No,
-
I've healed. Oh, this pain over here.
-
Oh, I'm strongly with this pain. I am healed.
-
I thank God before the healing, before the miracle, Jesus showed
-
us over and over throughout the Gospels.
-
He thanked God before the miracle happened.
-
That's your faith at work. It's so simple.
-
Come on, you order something online now.
-
Amazon. How do you know?
-
Now listen, you know, OK, let's say you order something on
-
Amazon and the package has not even arrived at your door yet.
-
The package has not even, but you know it's coming.
-
OK, place the order. How do you know that the package
-
is coming to your door? How do you know the order?
-
Because you haven't seen it yet. The package is not at the door
-
yet. It's not at your house yet, but
-
you know it's coming. They've sent, they have given
-
you a confirmation e-mail. It's so simple.
-
You actually go around and you tell people, listen, I've placed
-
the order. My package is coming.
-
Amazon is going to deliver you. How are you so confident?
-
How do you have so much faith in that?
-
Because they've sent you a confirmation e-mail.
-
The promises of God are your confirmation emails.
-
The word of God is your proof that your guarantee is coming,
-
your healing is coming, your blessing is coming, your favour
-
is coming and say good word. He said your Bible, He's coming
-
somebody. So we thank God before we see
-
it. It's coming.
-
The package delivery is coming. And listen, it's gonna deliver.
-
God is sending the miracle. He's coming.
-
Somebody. It's on the way.
-
Yeah, that's right. So you can stand in front of the
-
difficult, challenging dead situation and you can thank God
-
and say, God, I thank you. You've heard me.
-
I thank you. You've heard my prayer and so
-
that's what you say you like thank you Lord that I see you
-
movie. I see you breathe, I see that I
-
thank you for it. Now listen, you're like, OK,
-
Lord, this is how I pray for the healing.
-
I ask God, God heal me by your stock.
-
Then you shift over into Thanksgiving mode.
-
Now let me show you here Mark 11 verse 24.
-
It says, therefore I tell you, whatever you are asking for
-
prayer, believe that you've received it and it will be
-
yours. OK, so you believe when you
-
pray, not when it shows up. You believe that you receive it
-
when you pray, not when it shows up.
-
When you prayed, you believe you've received it.
-
When you place the order on Amazon, you already know it's
-
coming. In the same way, when we pray,
-
we ask God that very moment your prayer is answered, that very
-
moment, heaven response, that moment you've prayed your
-
prayer, God has put the miracle in motion and it's on the way.
-
Behind the scenes, God is working just like you've placed
-
the order on Amazon that you know it's going to come when
-
it's going to be delivered next week.
-
You know, I've prayed this prayer.
-
Now I don't have to beg. I don't have to keep on begging,
-
asking you for the same thing. It's done.
-
He's heard your prayer. Now what you do is you shift
-
over into Thanksgiving. Father, I thank you.
-
My healing is coming. I've asked you if you I thank
-
you. That is happening.
-
That is on the way. Somebody shine.
-
Hallelujah. OK, so that's when you pray and
-
you receive right? Then when you have prayed you.
-
That's what the Bible says. The moment you pray, you receive
-
it. Not when it arrives, not when it
-
manifests, not when the favour, the blessing, the open doors
-
happen. No, I'm not.
-
Lord, I thank you for an open door.
-
In my career, in my finances, blessing this.
-
It's done. I've received it.
-
Oh, possible. But I don't see the miracle yet.
-
Do you? When you place Amazon order, do
-
you see the order straight away? No.
-
They sent you an e-mail saying your order is on the way.
-
Heaven starts putting the miracle in motion.
-
So you've already received it. Now it's coming.
-
So now we can rejoice, we can give thanks.
-
Yes, Lord, my miracle is coming. Yes, yes, yes.
-
That's how we do. Now watch this.
-
It says Philippians 4 verse 6. Do not be anxious about
-
anything, OK? So there's no worries.
-
But in every situation, how by prayer petition with somebody
-
say Thanksgiving, OK, present your requests to God and the
-
peace of God so there's a peace, so we don't have to stress.
-
We don't have to worry. We can relax, transience all
-
understanding will guard your hearts and minds.
-
And so this is how we live a life of peace and Thanksgiving.
-
No worries, no stress. OK is when you pray, you have to
-
combine your pray with thank you.
-
Oh, I know it seems so basic and simple, but it's powerful.
-
Combine your prayer with Thanksgiving and then you're
-
going to have peace because I know.
-
I thank you Lord, that is on the way.
-
I thank you that what you've promised.
-
I prayed the prayer, I made the request.
-
Now it's done. Now I'm thanking my God.
-
Now it's coming. It's on their way.
-
Hallelujah. Now let's bring this all
-
together. Faith.
-
The sound of faith is Thanksgiving.
-
That's the sound of faith. OK.
-
Because a life of faith, if you look at a believer full of
-
faith, they life overflowers with gratitude.
-
Yeah, they don't. They thank God.
-
OK, listen, people can sense it. It's very simple.
-
When you walk into the room, the atmosphere changes.
-
Not because you're perfect, not because you've done everything
-
good or everything right. Or it's because of what you
-
carry. It's what do you carry?
-
You carry friends giving gratitude instead of heaviness.
-
People can sense what you carry. And people want to be around,
-
right? For people.
-
Simple, You know, Nobody wants to be around a whiner whining.
-
No. OK, so fear has a language.
-
Why? We has a language.
-
Complaining has a language. Faith has a language.
-
And that sounds like thank you, Lord, thank you that you're
-
still in control, that you have a plan and that the base is yet
-
to come. That's the language of faith.
-
Same situation, same circumstances.
-
We all live in the same fallen wall, but a different language.
-
And some of us, we grew up. Oh, thanks.
-
We grew up in a different home, you know, but it's, you know,
-
the main language in my home was obrikant.
-
Now we grew up in Huns with some of us, the language were worry
-
and negativity complaining, the language of just, you know,
-
worry. But here's the thing.
-
When you come and God's Kingdom, the Holy Spirit starts teaching
-
you a brand new language. Yeah, Amen.
-
And it's a language of connects keeping.
-
It's a language of funny. In 2013, there was a man by the
-
name of Dan Mears, and he was a sports match cult.
-
And so he practiced this bungee jumping 70 feet.
-
And something went horribly wrong.
-
Instead of landing safely, he slammed into the seats, broke
-
his neck, shattered his rubs, punctured lung.
-
And so the doctors said they've never seen anyone survive an
-
impact like that from a bungee jump of 70 feet.
-
And so when he woke up in hospital, he was in severe pain.
-
But instead of waking up and being in a response of like, oh,
-
why me, God, he was saying, thank God that I'm still alive.
-
Thank you for my wife, for my kids, for my church.
-
And so one day, he was really battling and really struggling,
-
and it was very difficult and hard.
-
He was tempted to give up and just to complain about
-
everything. But he heard this message on the
-
radio. And so this message on the radio
-
was so encouraging about the power of gratitude where he
-
decided, you know, I can complain about the seven broken
-
ribs or I can thank God for the 17 good ones.
-
And so he says that, you know, every morning we still wake up,
-
you know, with pain and it's difficult and it's hard.
-
And so God reminds him, he says, the God reminded me that I have
-
a choice. I could rise in shine or I could
-
rise in wine. And I don't want to be.
-
He said, I don't want to be a whiner.
-
Don't want to be. He tells people, you know,
-
whiners don't have a positive impact for Jesus.
-
And so the full left scars. But the Thanksgiving turned the
-
scars into a platform. And now he travels and he tells
-
everybody about the power of gratitude.
-
Power of gratitude. Yeah.
-
And so let me close to this because I want to bring it full
-
circle. Pull this together.
-
Everything we talked about comes back to this right here.
-
The key that gets us into his presence and I want you to get
-
this. Remember where we started looked
-
at this 17 with the 10 left. So we're going to come full
-
circle then we're healed. Only one came back to say thank
-
you now 9 walked away, but one fell at Jesus feet poured out
-
with a loud voice, Thank you Jesus praising God.
-
Guess who stepped straight into the presence of the King and who
-
got whole? The thankful one.
-
Ten were healed. One came back, and the one that
-
got into the presence of the King and was not just healed,
-
but made whole. The thankful one and those that
-
with leprosy, losing fingers made whole, creative miracle
-
completely made whole. All these swords.
-
Church, what happens when you get into the presence of Jesus?
-
I feel the anointing of our negotiator.
-
When you stand in the presence of the King of Kings, you become
-
whole. Wow.
-
Hi, Luna. You can be healed from a
-
distance. You can be touched from a
-
distance. But when you come in his
-
presence, oh, that's how we get into his presence.
-
Solve 100 hasn't changed. Yeah, I'm into his praise, his
-
calls with Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving call surprise.
-
Well, let me read it to you. Oh, I really feel the presence
-
of the king in this place. He's sensing that, Gee,
-
something shifts and happens in our lives when we get into the
-
presence. I thank God for the healing,
-
that all 10 will heal the great miracle.
-
But what happened in his presence?
-
It's a deep enable. Psalm 100 + 4.
-
It says you're 8 series gates. Somebody say Thanksgiving
-
physical. Yeah, that's it.
-
God's protocol is not come with perfection, come with your
-
performance, come with your spiritual CV, come with the
-
outrage. God's protocol is so simple.
-
Ate it with Thanksgiving with a fact full heart.
-
So every time you say thank you, Jesus, it's like you're tapping
-
the access code of the door of his presence.
-
You're saying, Lord, I'm coming in not based on my good
-
performance, not based on I'm a good person, but based that I've
-
got done amazing works of charity.
-
Oh, I've done good works of charity, good deeds wonderful,
-
not based on how good I are. I come in based on how good you
-
are. Yes see a lot of believers, they
-
feel like they're standing on the outside looking in.
-
It's like I just don't sense the presence like I used to.
-
Where is presence where I don't say to like I used to like about
-
5 feels a distant numb. This the far dry you see most of
-
the time God hasn't moved away. We have forgotten the password.
-
Yeah, we forgot the access code. We got the password.
-
Yeah. And we just slipped into
-
complaining, rushing, scrolling, worry, negativity.
-
We've forgotten the simple, powerful password of those two
-
simple words. Thank you, Lord, But the moment
-
you just flip it and you and you say, Liz, thank you, Lord, that
-
I'm alive. Thank you for this new day.
-
Thank you that your mercies are new every morning.
-
Thank you for my family. Thank you for what I do have.
-
Thank you for today. All of a sudden, band the gates
-
swing wide open. And right there you have entered
-
into the gates with Thanksgiving.
-
Hallelujah for. Yeah.
-
It's so simple. It's so simple.
-
It's so simple. I'm like, when I got this, I'm
-
like, out of the 10, there's one that did it.
-
I'm like, Lord, how is it that nine missed it and one got in
-
your presence? We don't need fancy words, long
-
words, long praise. Simple.
-
Thank you, Lord. Simple.
-
Where's the other 9? One said thank you.
-
I'm like, how is it that 90% miss it and we get 110% that
-
makes it get in the presence of Jesus?
-
Because thank you. That is the pass code.
-
That's the password. This principle works every time.
-
Every time you in your prayer time, thank you, Jesus.
-
When you wake up in the morning and boom, you are standing in
-
the court of your key. And what happens when we're in
-
this presence? Yeah, here touch.
-
Why the worries? He gives us peace, joy,
-
wholeness, salvation for our souls, our bodies, our lives,
-
wholeness, Thanksgiving. Now finally, I want you to see
-
this because Thanksgiving is the sound of revival.
-
Psalm 107 real quick, it says here, give thanks to the Lord
-
for his good, His love endures forever.
-
Now let the redeemed Lord tell their story.
-
But OK, so the redeemed of the Lord say, so they tell their
-
story. The redeemed of the Lord do not
-
stay silent. They do not mumble softly, OK, I
-
thank you Jesus from from the desk, OK, They tell their
-
stories. They do not stay silent.
-
They testify. Each and every one of us has
-
fault to tell. Everyone of us can say yes,
-
Lord, thank you that once I was lost.
-
Now I'm saying once I was blind and now I can sue.
-
I am healed. You have saved me.
-
You have touched my life, OK, You have delivered me.
-
You have broken the addiction. You have given me peace.
-
You have saved the cut the screen.
-
Thank you Lord, each and everyone of us had a story.
-
This how? Listen, I am not ashamed of the
-
gospel of Jesus Christ. I am sorry.
-
I will not be ashamed or I will not be silenced.
-
I am not ashamed of the gospel. I don't care where I go.
-
I share it really. If people not like it or not, I
-
love them and I bless people and I thank God.
-
Majority of people love to hear my story anyway, so I'm very
-
grateful. I I'm not ashamed of the gospel.
-
I'd have to tell them the story. I love to hear my story.
-
I told him this story. Yeah, we got I thank God and
-
that's the sound of revival breaking loose when we share our
-
story. And that's the Luke Chuck 90.
-
I love it. Jesus.
-
There is, he says, riding into Jerusalem and then all the
-
people crazy again, loud, grateful, shouting praises.
-
Read it. He said the Bible, it's
-
biblical, Jesus writes in people are praising, they are praising
-
God loudly. Oh, the Pharisees, they just
-
don't like it. 1 battle, they said they don't like it, they
-
listen. The religious crowd, they don't.
-
The religious crowd, they try to shut down the sound of revival.
-
That's religion. The thing is, religion gets
-
really nervous when gratitude gets loud.
-
Come on, somebody. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
-
That's a spirit of religion. The moment the church starts
-
getting loud, they want to silence the sound of revival.
-
Haba, haba. I'm sorry, but I just want.
-
I want to be silent. We want to be silent.
-
Yes. We won't be silent.
-
We won't be silent. We will shout.
-
We will praise. We want it twice.
-
Hallelujah. Yeah.
-
Yeah, that's exactly right. Praise God.
-
Because you know, when the religious crowd, they tried to
-
silence them, what was what did Jesus say?
-
I love this religious crowd. They tried to silence Jesus said
-
listen, if these people quiet, if they silent the rocks and the
-
stones for Brian, listen, I've got news for the enemy and the
-
religious crowd. Let's say we will not be silent.
-
The rocks ain't crying out. We will.
-
We are the church. We are faithful.
-
We will place God. We are grateful.
-
Hallelujah. Yes, Revelation 7 tells us the
-
sound of heaven. John, he wrote Revelation
Revelation 7 chapter mention
-
Chapter 7 and he said multitudes, countless of people
-
from nations, every tribe, every language in heaven, giving
-
praises, shouting salvation, glory, honour, thanks be to our
-
God forever and ever. That's the sound of heaven.
-
Heaven is loud with gratitude. That's heaven.
-
Heaven doesn't get tired of saying thank you.
-
Heaven is now thank you God, praising Hallelujah.
-
And so when the church get alive of heaven, when the church on
-
earth starts to sound like heaven, the world, the nations,
-
the cities will take notice and the people will say, wow, that's
-
a thankful church. That's a grateful church.
-
That's a church where miracles, that's where testimonies for
-
that's where lives are being touched and chase.
-
That is a thankful church. That is US revival family.
-
That is what God has called us to be.
-
Somebody shot Hallelujah. So right now we are not just
-
closing this message, but we are igniting a movement of
-
Thanksgiving, a movement of gratitude.
-
Shut on your feet, somebody stand to your feet.
-
We are about to turn this room in.
-
The sound of revival right now. Go ahead, just thank him.
-
Open your lips. Turn this place into sound of
-
revival. Thank you Jesus, come on.
-
Thank you, Jesus, come on. Thank you for saving me.
-
Tell him. Come on louder.
-
Thank you for healing me. Thank you for what you're doing
-
in my family. Thank you for what you're doing
-
in our city, in our nation. Thank you, Lord, for what you're
-
doing in this church. Yes, the base is still ahead.
-
Come on, keep on going. Don't stop.
-
This is the sound of breakthrough.
-
This is the sound of change falling.
-
This is the sound of revival breaking loose with our region.
-
Now I want you all declare this with me.
-
Say it like you mean it. My life overflows of
-
Thanksgiving. My heart stays grateful.
-
I will thank God in all circumstances, in the store and
-
in the victory. I am not one of the nine.
-
I am the one who comes back. I carry the sound of revival
-
everywhere I go. My home, my job, my region will
-
hear the shout of a grateful heart.
-
Come on, somebody shall come on. Give him your Lord, his praise
-
right now. And so a thankful church is an
-
unstoppable church. Some of you, as we've been
-
talking, the Holy Spirit has put His finger on some areas where
-
you have slipped into negativity, complaining,
-
heaviness, worry, fear, doubts. Maybe your praise has gone
-
quiet. Maybe Thanksgiving has dried up.
-
But today there is an invitation, and the Lord is
-
inviting us to lay down the garment of heaviness and pick up
-
the garment of praise. Let the fire of God, a fresh
-
fire, fall on our hearts. Let God light a fresh fire of
-
Thanksgiving on the altar of your heart.
-
So if that's you, just put your hand on your heart right now and
-
receive this. Pray, Father, I pray for every
-
person here. You see their battles, the
-
disappointments, the waiting, the questions.
-
And Lord, you are faithful. Pour out fresh grace of
-
Thanksgiving and lift off heaviness.
-
Lift off yokes and burdens and break negativity and
-
complaining. Lord, heal weary and cynical
-
hearts. Remove doubt and fear and
-
unbelief. Holy Spirit, set every heart on
-
fire again with gratitude, with Thanksgiving.
-
Let us see your goodness clearly, Lord, let Thanksgiving
-
rise in our homes, our families, our communities.
-
Let there be Thanksgiving in our cars, our workplaces,
-
Thanksgiving in our conversations, now in our homes.
-
Let us give you thanks in everything long.
-
Make us a people who cut me. The sound of revival.
-
Joyful, overflowing gratitude for who you and what you've done
-
is Jesus body like come on somebody give God some praise.
-
Hallelujah. Now before we leave, I want to
-
speak to those who say, pastor, I've never received Jesus as my
-
Lord and my Savior. The greatest thing you could
-
ever thank God is not a job, not a breakthrough, not healing, but
-
the Son, Jesus Christ, because Jesus Christ bled and died, gave
-
his life so that you can have eternal life.
-
So right now, if that is you and you say, pastor, yes, I need
-
Jesus. I want Jesus to come into my
-
heart because the Bible says we have all fallen.
-
We have all said we've all come short of the glory of God.
-
We cannot fix ourselves. We need Jesus, we need a savior.
-
And so right now, if you say, pastor, I want to receive Jesus
-
as my Lord and my Savior, and I want a new story, just quickly
-
slip up your hand right there where you are.
-
Heaven cease. If you want to be included in
-
this prayer, don't hesitate. This is your moment today.
-
Everybody just pray out. Lord Jesus, I invite you to come
-
into my life to be my Lord and my Saviour.
-
I repent of my sins. Come into my heart.
-
I give you my life for me with your Holy Spirit in Jesus name,
-
Amen. So if you prayed, I pray.
-
All of heaven needs to rejoicing.
-
Come on, let's rejoicing together.
-
Welcome to the family of God, Praise God, Hallelujah.
