  64. miracles and miracle triggers and this.

  65. The devil hates this message. The enemy hates this message

  66. because Thanksgiving is the sound of breaking Chinese.

  67. That's why the devil hides this message of Thanksgiving because

  68. it's the sound. It's open heavens.

  69. It's the sound of revival. Hallelujah.

  70. So I'm going to show you something powerful in Luke

    Luke 17 chapter mention

  71. chapter 17. So let's go to Luke chapter 17.

    Luke 17 chapter mention

  72. Somebody say I am ready for the word.

  73. Ready for the word. Let's just pray.

  74. Father, we thank you for your presence in this room.

  75. Lord, we thank you for bringing us thus far.

  76. Lord, Holy Spirit, anoint my laps to peace.

  77. Anoint our ears to hear. Let faith arise.

  78. Lord, we pray that you give us a fresh revelation of the power of

  79. gratitude, the power of Thanksgiving, and let Jesus

  80. Christ be glorified in everything.

  81. And Lord, we thank you in advance for what you're about to

  82. do in this place. In Jesus mighty name, we pray

  83. and somebody shout A and Hallelujah.

  84. So yeah, in Luke chapter 17, Jesus is walking on the border

    Luke 17 chapter mention

  85. of Samaria and Galilee, another distance.

  86. We see these these Ted lepers and they cry out Jesus have

  87. mercy on us. OK, they are they select they

  88. are isolated, rejected 10 lepers.

  89. And so Jesus did not give them a long sermon.

  90. Jesus said simply said go show yourselves with the priests.

  91. And so here they are. They obey and they go to on

  92. their way to the priest. But here is the turn 10 are

  93. healed, but only one comes back. Only one realizes on my way when

  94. his walking is only so they're all healed, all ten of them.

  95. But there's one that when his teeth is healed, so they

  96. cleansed OK, their skin clears up OK.

  97. And so this one turns around when he realizes that he's

  98. cleansed, that he's healed, that he set free.

  99. And he, the Bible says that he went back to Jesus, praised and

  100. worshipped with a loud voice that's overflowing gratitude,

  101. that is Thanksgiving. So he comes right there, he's

  102. healed and he turns back, start praising with the loud voice,

  103. throws himself at the feet of Jesus, Thank you, Jesus.

  104. He doesn't silently mumble. He doesn't quietly, silently

  105. words, but thank you, thank you, Jesus.

  106. The Bible is very, very, very clear on the fact that it was a

  107. loud. Thank you.

  108. OK, Thank you for that. Thank you.

  109. In a little bit. No, no, the Bible says it very

  110. clearly. And it's time for the church to

  111. be loud again. I'm telling you, it's Bible.

  112. It's Bible. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

  113. It's going to happen. It's going to break loose.

  114. OK. 10 got healed, one came back, one was loud, one thank

  115. God, one had grateful attitude. Thank you, Jesus.

  116. And Jesus noticed something like, listen, we're not ten

  117. clinched. Where is all the others?

  118. Ten clinched. Where is the other 9?

  119. What's happened to the nine? OK, everybody said fat.

  120. Where is the one comes back and Jesus the one at his feet.

  121. Jesus looks at him and he says to him, arise ago, your faith

  122. has made you wow. And now the translator says your

  123. faith has made you whole. See, that's another level.

  124. Yeah, Yeah, that's another level.

  125. OK, so I want you to see there's another level today.

  126. Hallelujah. Let's just read that.

  127. OK, Luke 17, verse 15, verse 19. One of them, when he saw he was

    Luke 17:15

  128. healed, came back praising God in a loud.

  129. Somebody just underlining your Bible, just say loud voice, OK?

  130. Not a whisper, not a mumble. He threw himself at Jesus's feet

  131. and thank you with a loud voice. And he was a Samaritan.

  132. Jesus asked. We're not all 10 cleansed, so

  133. where's the other nine? OK, because heaven expects

  134. Thanksgiving. Heaven notices Thanksgiving.

  135. They're all but healed, but heaven expects Thanksgiving.

  136. Has no one returned to give praise to God except this

  137. foreigner? Then he said to him, rise and

  138. go. Your faith has made you.

  139. Wow. OK again all 10 received healing

  140. but only came one came back to say thank you.

  141. Now get this. Only one turned a healing into

  142. Thanksgiving. OK, Only one turned the healing

  143. into Thanksgiving, and Thanksgiving brought that person

  144. into a deeper level. Thanksgiving brought that person

  145. into something more, something greater, into a miracle of

  146. wholeness. Come on, somebody's getting

  147. this. So everybody got healed, but

  148. this one went further and deeper.

  149. So he got more out. So he came into a miracle of

  150. wholeness. That means Thanksgiving brought

  151. him. Wholeness made him whole.

  152. And then so Thanksgiving, it didn't just celebrate the

  153. miracle. Thanksgiving completed the

  154. miracle. It sealed the miracle from glory

  155. to glory. OK, So it made him whole.

  156. So it took him from I got my healing to what I needed to.

  157. I got to meet the one who is my everything That's deeper, that's

  158. deeper. Somebody's getting this.

  159. It's deeper from just. I got my healing.

  160. I got my touch. I got.

  161. Yeah. OK, that's fine.

  162. But listen, he went deeper. He made him.

  163. Oh, Jesus. And that's all that you need.

  164. Yo, somebody's getting this because you want to stand in the

  165. presence of peace. He got to beat you.

  166. Jesus is all that you need. So from my godfather to

  167. everything to Jesus, he got to get into the presence of Jesus.

  168. OK, so healing is God touching you, but Thanksgiving is you

  169. touching God. Oh, Hallelujah.

  170. Somebody shout Hallelujah. Come on, give them some praise

  171. in this place. So in that one story we see

  172. three groups of people. There's always three kinds of

  173. people in a move of God, OK, there's receivers, observers and

  174. returners. So receivers, OK, that's a group

  175. of people. Got a touch?

  176. Then you get observers. Those are spectators, people

  177. that's on the sidelines watching and observing.

  178. Then you get returners. Those are people that come back

  179. and say thank you and give God all the glory.

  180. And so we see this one. So ten were cleansed, same

  181. miracle, same healing, same anointing, same mercy to all ten

  182. of them. But out of the 10, we see only

  183. one returning. Now, I don't know about you, but

  184. I don't want to be an observer standing on the sidelines to

  185. observe. I also don't just want to be a

  186. receiver. OK, please move on.

  187. Goodbye. See you, I don't want to, I

  188. don't know about you, but I want to be a returner.

  189. I want to stay at the feet of Jesus.

  190. I want to look at the feet of Jesus in Thanksgiving.

  191. And oh, Lord Jesus, you did that for me.

  192. You just you yield. I want to say thank you.

  193. Somebody shall thank you, Lord. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

  194. Psalm chapter 50, verse 23, those who sacrifice, thank

    Psalms 50:23

  195. offerings honor me. OK, so that's the Bible says

  196. that Thanksgiving it honors God Thanksgiving, it prepares for

  197. more of the goodness of God to throw into our lives because

  198. somebody's going to get that Thanksgiving.

  199. Listen, understand, grab hold of this because Thanksgiving

  200. increases your capacity. OK, we all like, please give me

  201. more, give me more, give me more.

  202. We all ask for more. Come on.

  203. Let's be honest in this judge. I get it all the time.

  204. Give me more. OK, how Thanksgiving increases

  205. your capacity to go from just make me wild to wholeness.

  206. Come on, you got to get there somebody Ten were they the Bible

  207. says that were healed and claims, but one was made whole.

  208. It's a deeper level. How did he get more?

  209. Yes, simple from just the healing to wholeness because

  210. remember the leopards, they've lost fingers, they've lost the

  211. OK, so what's happened when he came back?

  212. So there might have been a cleansing of the skin.

  213. Leopards you go. But what happened when he got

  214. back, when he said thank you to Jesus when he returned.

  215. You see some people, they wake up in the morning and they've

  216. first spiritual gift is complaining.

  217. And so the alarm goes off and it's like it's Monday morning.

  218. Oh, it's raining. I hide my job.

  219. Oh, complaining. Yeah, what a spiritual gift

  220. complaining. Oh, I hide these kids.

  221. I'm like these kids, these I just complaining the job, the

  222. kids, the dog complaining. OK, By 8:00 AM, you know,

  223. they've reached. They grab hold of the phone,

  224. scrolling, read bad news headline.

  225. But I mean, there's like already like a whole 10 bad headlines.

  226. No wonder they feel heavy. You know, one man said that

  227. every morning I have a choice. I can arise and shine or I can

  228. arise and whine. Yeah, some of us don't even need

  229. to enemy to attack us. We attack ourselves with our own

  230. mouth before the coffee. We don't even need the enemy or

  231. the devil or demons to attack us.

  232. We attack ourselves with our mouth.

  233. So what if instead of good Lord, each morning flip it around and

  234. say good morning, Lord, thank you that I'm alive.

  235. Thank you that I've got a roof over my head.

  236. I've got food on the table. Thank you, I've got clothes to

  237. wear. Thank you that this is a good

  238. day and that you're with me today and that you have got good

  239. things in store for me today. Thankful people don't rise and

  240. whine. Thankful people rise and shine.

  241. Somebody shot. Rise and shine.

  242. Tell your neighbor. Rise and shine.

  243. Rise and shine. For your lighters Come.

  244. Yeah. You know, even science is

  245. catching up with us. Yeah.

  246. Sciences doctors, researchers, they're seeing this now in

  247. studies they have found. I'll read you the the latest

  248. study says how show grateful people sleep better.

  249. Yeah. So grateful people sleep better,

  250. have less anxiety and depression, bounce back faster

  251. from stress and trauma. So it's very simple.

  252. Science is now catching up with the Bible has been saying one of

  253. my favorite verses. First Thessalonians 518 in

  254. everything effects one of my favorite verses in everything.

  255. Give thanks. Are you coming, sweetheart?

  256. Oh yay, that's amazing. My God, for like in the I5 AI

  257. love this. I mean my God, I've got my sweet

  258. ID on the front row. How amazing is that?

  259. This is awesome. So I'm just sharing one of my

  260. favorite verses First a Thessalonians 5A in everything.

  261. Give thanks. Isn't that amazing, brother

  262. Jules? I mean, that is awesome.

  263. Yeah. Come on now.

  264. In everything. So that means OK.

  265. I give thanks not just in the good days when the bank account

  266. is full, but I give thanks in every day, in the good days, the

  267. bad days, the hard and the easy days.

  268. OK. In the storm and in the victory.

  269. We give thanks in all, the Bible says, in all circumstances.

  270. OK, So we give thanks in the valley and on the mountains.

  271. Yes, I met somebody. Now let me read that to you

  272. because this is a powerful verse.

  273. It's First Thessalonians 5, verse 18.

    1 Thessalonians 5:18

  274. It says in everything, give thanks for this is the will of

  275. God in Christ Jesus for you. So take note of that in

  276. everything. I mean, that's not just a nice

  277. little cliche, a nice little verse.

  278. Now that is life to our bodies, our souls, to our emotions as

  279. life to give thanks. Can you say I meant somebody?

  280. Because I mean, when you read through the Psalms, David knew

  281. about waking up and living under pressure.

  282. And the Bible says he commanded his soul.

  283. Command yourself. And the Bible says that he

  284. strengthened himself in the world.

  285. Come on. We got to start talking to

  286. ourselves, Judge. We got to start encouraging

  287. ourselves. Some of us, you would have to.

  288. Some days you got to do this. You have to do because listen,

  289. there's thoughts, there's worries, there's emails that hit

  290. before we even get out of bed. And so we have got to decide,

  291. OK, God, you have never failed me and you're not going to fail

  292. me now. You've always been faithful.

  293. You've always brought me through.

  294. You are faithful. Hallelujah, somebody.

  295. OK, that's the introduction. Let's got the foundation.

  296. Now can we go deeper, somebody? Because Jesus shows us another

  297. level, a deeper level, OK? Because gratitude is not just

  298. something that we do after the work.

  299. In fact, it sparks the one. Yeah, Jesus did not just have.

  300. I thank you after the miracle. He thanked God before the

  301. miracle. Oh, right.

  302. God, I feel anointing. Come on.

  303. That's next level. This is you, somebody.

  304. I want you to see this another level.

  305. We are going deeper on Thanksgiving because giving

  306. thanks is not just giving thanks after things change, but before

  307. they change, before they shout, before the miracle.

  308. Thanking while it still looks difficult, Thanking while it

  309. still looks impossible. Are you with me, somebody?

  310. Thanksgiving is a miracle trigger.

  311. What if I told you just two simple words, thank you could

  312. unlock miracles in your life. And I'm not talking about good

  313. manners, being polite. I'm talking about power.

  314. Are you getting this Somebody, John Chapter 6, Jesus on the

    John 6 chapter mention

  315. hillside, thousands of people listening all day.

  316. At the end they are hungry. Now here comes the disciples and

  317. he's like OK well let's do the maths right?

  318. Let's look at wages, right? So salary right?

  319. We work out about 8 months salary.

  320. It's not going to be enough to buy enough bread for every

  321. person yet to have one pint of bread.

  322. Here comes a little boy with his lunch packed lunch, right?

  323. What we've got, We've got 5 loves, 2 features in the natural

  324. impossible. There's thousands of people.

  325. OK, right. Watch this.

  326. It says John chapter 6 verses 11.

    John 6:11

  327. What's now what? Jesus.

  328. Jesus then took the louse. Somebody under the light, just

  329. say give go. Thanks.

  330. Right. That's the key.

  331. I want you to see this miracle being released that's been

  332. triggered. It says distributed to those who

  333. were seated as much as they wanted.

  334. He did the same with the fish. What?

  335. OK, thanks. Somebody say go.

  336. Thanks. OK, now notice the order he

  337. takes what seems too small. OK, OK, thanks.

  338. And then where was the miracle trigger?

  339. Yes, Thanksgiving. Then the multiplication

  340. happened. Come on, somebody.

  341. Jesus doesn't say, Father, this is not enough.

  342. This is just too small. No, he gave thanks while it

  343. still looks cool. You see, this is for most of us.

  344. We want to thank God all for the miracle.

  345. We want to thank God. Once the Job promotion comes,

  346. thank you God. Once the healing comes or I'm

  347. healed that once the pain leaves, then I will thank God.

  348. Once the breakthrough comes, then I'll once the the the

  349. miracle happens, then I will thank and praise God.

  350. OK, but Jesus shows us a better way.

  351. I want you to see his example, his model, his parts, and he

  352. shows us a better way. Thank God.

  353. While it still looks like it's not enough, while it looks like

  354. it's useful. Wow.

  355. OK, thank him with the five loaves and the 2 fish in your

  356. hand. Come on somebody Lord, I thank

  357. you. What I do have you see it.

  358. Let's not focus on what we don't have, especially in this world

  359. we're living in on Facebook and things you can just see a lot of

  360. people. Let's not focus on.

  361. Let's focus on what we do have Thank the Lord and say thank the

  362. Lord that you are the cloud of full reputation.

  363. Don't get stars. This whole Oh my God, I feel the

  364. anointing in this place. Yeah, Yeah.

  365. Come on. Amen.

  366. So we thank God, because maybe right now all that you see is

  367. just five loaves and two fish. Maybe right now all that you see

  368. is just small. Just like it looks small, You

  369. know, it's just not enough straight.

  370. Not enough money, not enough resources, not enough time, not

  371. enough business, not enough opportunities.

  372. Don't despise it. Hold it up before the law.

  373. And to what Jesus did. Thanks.

  374. Oh, somebody shall take you. Yeah.

  375. Yeah. Hallelujah.

  376. Come on, everybody. Love those hands and just give

  377. him some thanks right now. Thank Him for what you have.

  378. Don't focus on what you don't have.

  379. Thank him for the small. Thank him for the five loaves

  380. and the two fish. Come on, somebody shout.

  381. Thank you, Jesus, trap your hands and rejoice.

  382. Thank you all. Thank you for my family.

  383. Thank you for my spouse, my kids.

  384. Thank you for what I do have at the bank.

  385. Thank you for the resources. Thank you.

  386. Lord. I hate my job.

  387. Thank you. I've got a job.

  388. Yeah. Oh, Oh, God.

  389. Oh, this small apartment, this small flag.

  390. Thank God you've got a roof over our heads, Ness.

  391. Thanksgiving. It's not just the response after

  392. the miracle. Thanksgiving is the trigger that

  393. released the miracle. Get that somebody that releases

  394. the miracle. When we take what we have in our

  395. lives and we give thanks, watch him multiply it.

  396. Come on, somebody's going to get this today.

  397. Hallelujah. That's the trigger.

  398. Can you say I mean, somebody. Now let me take you to the

  399. ultimate graveyard situation, this graveyard moment where

  400. Lazarus in the tomb in John Chapter 11, Lazarus has been

    John 11 chapter mention

  401. dead for four days now in the natural it's over, it's done,

  402. the funeral is over. But watch Jesus John 1141.

  403. So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said,

  404. Father, somebody shout, I thank you that you've heard me, OK, I

  405. thank you when he said Lazarus was still dead, no pulse, no

  406. movement, no signs of life. But Jesus already said, thank

  407. you, Father, that you've heard my prayer, thank you that you've

  408. heard me. Lazarus is still dead, no sign

  409. of life. He's still.

  410. So why did Jesus, he thanked God before the miracle.

  411. I want you to see the miracle trigger because he thanked God

  412. before the miracle before. So here he is, you thank God,

  413. standing right in front of a dead grave, a dead situation, a

  414. Lazarus, A graveyard situation. And some of us, at the moment we

  415. are standing in front of a Lazarus grave situation.

  416. Something in your life that feels dead and buried.

  417. OK. A marriage that looks dead.

  418. A medical situation that looks final finances that's been dead

  419. for the four days Greece that's like buried.

  420. It just feels like it's buried and the enemy whispers and says

  421. listen, it's too late. It's just always be like that.

  422. But Jesus, he models for us. He shows us the example and that

  423. is a pre answer Thanksgiving. Pre answer Thanksgiving is very

  424. simple. It's forgiving.

  425. Thanks in advance. Yeah.

  426. Yeah. Come on, somebody.

  427. Yeah. So right there in front of

  428. death, in front of the dead situation.

  429. OK, He said, Father, I thank you that you have heard me.

  430. OK, You've already so in that moment of Thanksgiving, in that

  431. moment that Jesus is giving thanks before that triggered the

  432. miracle was released, but Thanksgiving triggered the

  433. miracle to be released right there.

  434. Boom life exploded in that tomb. Life exploded.

  435. These Lazarus have risen from the why because Jesus name

  436. thanks Hallelujah, somebody shall thank you Jesus.

  437. That same power is available today choice.

  438. It is available for you today. The same power.

  439. Think now of one dead situation that you are believing God for.

  440. And thank Him as if it's already alive.

  441. Come on. Come on.

  442. Thank him as if it's already. Maybe it's your marriage,

  443. finances, career, business. Thank Him.

  444. It's already. Yeah.

  445. Yeah. Finally.

  446. Yes, that's right. You thank him like he's already

  447. alive. So right now I want you to

  448. declare that I want you to say, Father, I thank you that you

  449. have hurt me. I thank you.

  450. Resurrection power is moving right now.

  451. I thank you that what looks dead is about to live again.

  452. Somebody said, Alleluia, come on, somebody's child fight, you

  453. know, See, that's not wishful thinking.

  454. That is faith speaking. It's a language of faith because

  455. in the Kingdom of God, we don't wait for the miracle and then

  456. say thanks. We give thanks in advance.

  457. We give thanks before the mirror and we watch the miracles chase

  458. us down. That's the Kingdom principle.

  459. And the Holy Spirit is moving in this place.

  460. There's a shift taking place right here.

  461. Miracles are about to be released right now.

  462. And the tomb is open, Right. Somebody, somebody has to

  463. release the trigger. I sense that.

  464. I sense that. I sense that there's gonna

  465. shift. The 2 is open.

  466. Yes. Yes.

  467. Yes. Yes.

  468. Oh, Hallelujah. Come on, take it.

  469. Yeah, it's not. I mean, you might be seated.

  470. Hallelujah. Something is shifted.

  471. My God. Jeez.

  472. You see, that's what's happened. Something this place.

  473. Somebody's just released the trigger.

  474. Yeah, I've been doing some hunting and I know what it means

  475. when I have that and when I have when I, when I take that

  476. trigger, I I know what happens because when I have the rifle

  477. and I put that scope right there on on the target and I I know

  478. what happens. That's what's happened just

  479. right now in this place. I see it's open.

  480. Somebody has released the trigger.

  481. Yeah, the trigger of Thanksgiving.

  482. I'm telling you, it's a Kingdom principle of releasing miracles

  483. in your life. Oh, my God.

  484. Glory be to God. Thank you, Jesus, because that's

  485. Thanksgiving is action. It's faith in action.

  486. Lord, I thank you. That what you have promised

  487. you'll bring it to pass, but it is coming.

  488. So when you thank God, before you see this sign, before you

  489. see in the national manifest, before you feel the pain is

  490. gone, you thank God before by the starts of Jesus, I am

  491. healed. Oh, this pain in my mouth, No,

  492. I've healed. Oh, this pain over here.

  493. Oh, I'm strongly with this pain. I am healed.

  494. I thank God before the healing, before the miracle, Jesus showed

  495. us over and over throughout the Gospels.

  496. He thanked God before the miracle happened.

  497. That's your faith at work. It's so simple.

  498. Come on, you order something online now.

  499. Amazon. How do you know?

  500. Now listen, you know, OK, let's say you order something on

  501. Amazon and the package has not even arrived at your door yet.

  502. The package has not even, but you know it's coming.

  503. OK, place the order. How do you know that the package

  504. is coming to your door? How do you know the order?

  505. Because you haven't seen it yet. The package is not at the door

  506. yet. It's not at your house yet, but

  507. you know it's coming. They've sent, they have given

  508. you a confirmation e-mail. It's so simple.

  509. You actually go around and you tell people, listen, I've placed

  510. the order. My package is coming.

  511. Amazon is going to deliver you. How are you so confident?

  512. How do you have so much faith in that?

  513. Because they've sent you a confirmation e-mail.

  514. The promises of God are your confirmation emails.

  515. The word of God is your proof that your guarantee is coming,

  516. your healing is coming, your blessing is coming, your favour

  517. is coming and say good word. He said your Bible, He's coming

  518. somebody. So we thank God before we see

  519. it. It's coming.

  520. The package delivery is coming. And listen, it's gonna deliver.

  521. God is sending the miracle. He's coming.

  522. Somebody. It's on the way.

  523. Yeah, that's right. So you can stand in front of the

  524. difficult, challenging dead situation and you can thank God

  525. and say, God, I thank you. You've heard me.

  526. I thank you. You've heard my prayer and so

  527. that's what you say you like thank you Lord that I see you

  528. movie. I see you breathe, I see that I

  529. thank you for it. Now listen, you're like, OK,

  530. Lord, this is how I pray for the healing.

  531. I ask God, God heal me by your stock.

  532. Then you shift over into Thanksgiving mode.

  533. Now let me show you here Mark 11 verse 24.

    Mark 11:24

  534. It says, therefore I tell you, whatever you are asking for

  535. prayer, believe that you've received it and it will be

  536. yours. OK, so you believe when you

  537. pray, not when it shows up. You believe that you receive it

  538. when you pray, not when it shows up.

  539. When you prayed, you believe you've received it.

  540. When you place the order on Amazon, you already know it's

  541. coming. In the same way, when we pray,

  542. we ask God that very moment your prayer is answered, that very

  543. moment, heaven response, that moment you've prayed your

  544. prayer, God has put the miracle in motion and it's on the way.

  545. Behind the scenes, God is working just like you've placed

  546. the order on Amazon that you know it's going to come when

  547. it's going to be delivered next week.

  548. You know, I've prayed this prayer.

  549. Now I don't have to beg. I don't have to keep on begging,

  550. asking you for the same thing. It's done.

  551. He's heard your prayer. Now what you do is you shift

  552. over into Thanksgiving. Father, I thank you.

  553. My healing is coming. I've asked you if you I thank

  554. you. That is happening.

  555. That is on the way. Somebody shine.

  556. Hallelujah. OK, so that's when you pray and

  557. you receive right? Then when you have prayed you.

  558. That's what the Bible says. The moment you pray, you receive

  559. it. Not when it arrives, not when it

  560. manifests, not when the favour, the blessing, the open doors

  561. happen. No, I'm not.

  562. Lord, I thank you for an open door.

  563. In my career, in my finances, blessing this.

  564. It's done. I've received it.

  565. Oh, possible. But I don't see the miracle yet.

  566. Do you? When you place Amazon order, do

  567. you see the order straight away? No.

  568. They sent you an e-mail saying your order is on the way.

  569. Heaven starts putting the miracle in motion.

  570. So you've already received it. Now it's coming.

  571. So now we can rejoice, we can give thanks.

  572. Yes, Lord, my miracle is coming. Yes, yes, yes.

  573. That's how we do. Now watch this.

  574. It says Philippians 4 verse 6. Do not be anxious about

    Philippians 4:6

  575. anything, OK? So there's no worries.

  576. But in every situation, how by prayer petition with somebody

  577. say Thanksgiving, OK, present your requests to God and the

  578. peace of God so there's a peace, so we don't have to stress.

  579. We don't have to worry. We can relax, transience all

  580. understanding will guard your hearts and minds.

  581. And so this is how we live a life of peace and Thanksgiving.

  582. No worries, no stress. OK is when you pray, you have to

  583. combine your pray with thank you.

  584. Oh, I know it seems so basic and simple, but it's powerful.

  585. Combine your prayer with Thanksgiving and then you're

  586. going to have peace because I know.

  587. I thank you Lord, that is on the way.

  588. I thank you that what you've promised.

  589. I prayed the prayer, I made the request.

  590. Now it's done. Now I'm thanking my God.

  591. Now it's coming. It's on their way.

  592. Hallelujah. Now let's bring this all

  593. together. Faith.

  594. The sound of faith is Thanksgiving.

  595. That's the sound of faith. OK.

  596. Because a life of faith, if you look at a believer full of

  597. faith, they life overflowers with gratitude.

  598. Yeah, they don't. They thank God.

  599. OK, listen, people can sense it. It's very simple.

  600. When you walk into the room, the atmosphere changes.

  601. Not because you're perfect, not because you've done everything

  602. good or everything right. Or it's because of what you

  603. carry. It's what do you carry?

  604. You carry friends giving gratitude instead of heaviness.

  605. People can sense what you carry. And people want to be around,

  606. right? For people.

  607. Simple, You know, Nobody wants to be around a whiner whining.

  608. No. OK, so fear has a language.

  609. Why? We has a language.

  610. Complaining has a language. Faith has a language.

  611. And that sounds like thank you, Lord, thank you that you're

  612. still in control, that you have a plan and that the base is yet

  613. to come. That's the language of faith.

  614. Same situation, same circumstances.

  615. We all live in the same fallen wall, but a different language.

  616. And some of us, we grew up. Oh, thanks.

  617. We grew up in a different home, you know, but it's, you know,

  618. the main language in my home was obrikant.

  619. Now we grew up in Huns with some of us, the language were worry

  620. and negativity complaining, the language of just, you know,

  621. worry. But here's the thing.

  622. When you come and God's Kingdom, the Holy Spirit starts teaching

  623. you a brand new language. Yeah, Amen.

  624. And it's a language of connects keeping.

  625. It's a language of funny. In 2013, there was a man by the

  626. name of Dan Mears, and he was a sports match cult.

  627. And so he practiced this bungee jumping 70 feet.

  628. And something went horribly wrong.

  629. Instead of landing safely, he slammed into the seats, broke

  630. his neck, shattered his rubs, punctured lung.

  631. And so the doctors said they've never seen anyone survive an

  632. impact like that from a bungee jump of 70 feet.

  633. And so when he woke up in hospital, he was in severe pain.

  634. But instead of waking up and being in a response of like, oh,

  635. why me, God, he was saying, thank God that I'm still alive.

  636. Thank you for my wife, for my kids, for my church.

  637. And so one day, he was really battling and really struggling,

  638. and it was very difficult and hard.

  639. He was tempted to give up and just to complain about

  640. everything. But he heard this message on the

  641. radio. And so this message on the radio

  642. was so encouraging about the power of gratitude where he

  643. decided, you know, I can complain about the seven broken

  644. ribs or I can thank God for the 17 good ones.

  645. And so he says that, you know, every morning we still wake up,

  646. you know, with pain and it's difficult and it's hard.

  647. And so God reminds him, he says, the God reminded me that I have

  648. a choice. I could rise in shine or I could

  649. rise in wine. And I don't want to be.

  650. He said, I don't want to be a whiner.

  651. Don't want to be. He tells people, you know,

  652. whiners don't have a positive impact for Jesus.

  653. And so the full left scars. But the Thanksgiving turned the

  654. scars into a platform. And now he travels and he tells

  655. everybody about the power of gratitude.

  656. Power of gratitude. Yeah.

  657. And so let me close to this because I want to bring it full

  658. circle. Pull this together.

  659. Everything we talked about comes back to this right here.

  660. The key that gets us into his presence and I want you to get

  661. this. Remember where we started looked

  662. at this 17 with the 10 left. So we're going to come full

  663. circle then we're healed. Only one came back to say thank

  664. you now 9 walked away, but one fell at Jesus feet poured out

  665. with a loud voice, Thank you Jesus praising God.

  666. Guess who stepped straight into the presence of the King and who

  667. got whole? The thankful one.

  668. Ten were healed. One came back, and the one that

  669. got into the presence of the King and was not just healed,

  670. but made whole. The thankful one and those that

  671. with leprosy, losing fingers made whole, creative miracle

  672. completely made whole. All these swords.

  673. Church, what happens when you get into the presence of Jesus?

  674. I feel the anointing of our negotiator.

  675. When you stand in the presence of the King of Kings, you become

  676. whole. Wow.

  677. Hi, Luna. You can be healed from a

  678. distance. You can be touched from a

  679. distance. But when you come in his

  680. presence, oh, that's how we get into his presence.

  681. Solve 100 hasn't changed. Yeah, I'm into his praise, his

  682. calls with Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving call surprise.

  683. Well, let me read it to you. Oh, I really feel the presence

  684. of the king in this place. He's sensing that, Gee,

  685. something shifts and happens in our lives when we get into the

  686. presence. I thank God for the healing,

  687. that all 10 will heal the great miracle.

  688. But what happened in his presence?

  689. It's a deep enable. Psalm 100 + 4.

  690. It says you're 8 series gates. Somebody say Thanksgiving

  691. physical. Yeah, that's it.

  692. God's protocol is not come with perfection, come with your

  693. performance, come with your spiritual CV, come with the

  694. outrage. God's protocol is so simple.

  695. Ate it with Thanksgiving with a fact full heart.

  696. So every time you say thank you, Jesus, it's like you're tapping

  697. the access code of the door of his presence.

  698. You're saying, Lord, I'm coming in not based on my good

  699. performance, not based on I'm a good person, but based that I've

  700. got done amazing works of charity.

  701. Oh, I've done good works of charity, good deeds wonderful,

  702. not based on how good I are. I come in based on how good you

  703. are. Yes see a lot of believers, they

  704. feel like they're standing on the outside looking in.

  705. It's like I just don't sense the presence like I used to.

  706. Where is presence where I don't say to like I used to like about

  707. 5 feels a distant numb. This the far dry you see most of

  708. the time God hasn't moved away. We have forgotten the password.

  709. Yeah, we forgot the access code. We got the password.

  710. Yeah. And we just slipped into

  711. complaining, rushing, scrolling, worry, negativity.

  712. We've forgotten the simple, powerful password of those two

  713. simple words. Thank you, Lord, But the moment

  714. you just flip it and you and you say, Liz, thank you, Lord, that

  715. I'm alive. Thank you for this new day.

  716. Thank you that your mercies are new every morning.

  717. Thank you for my family. Thank you for what I do have.

  718. Thank you for today. All of a sudden, band the gates

  719. swing wide open. And right there you have entered

  720. into the gates with Thanksgiving.

  721. Hallelujah for. Yeah.

  722. It's so simple. It's so simple.

  723. It's so simple. I'm like, when I got this, I'm

  724. like, out of the 10, there's one that did it.

  725. I'm like, Lord, how is it that nine missed it and one got in

  726. your presence? We don't need fancy words, long

  727. words, long praise. Simple.

  728. Thank you, Lord. Simple.

  729. Where's the other 9? One said thank you.

  730. I'm like, how is it that 90% miss it and we get 110% that

  731. makes it get in the presence of Jesus?

  732. Because thank you. That is the pass code.

  733. That's the password. This principle works every time.

  734. Every time you in your prayer time, thank you, Jesus.

  735. When you wake up in the morning and boom, you are standing in

  736. the court of your key. And what happens when we're in

  737. this presence? Yeah, here touch.

  738. Why the worries? He gives us peace, joy,

  739. wholeness, salvation for our souls, our bodies, our lives,

  740. wholeness, Thanksgiving. Now finally, I want you to see

  741. this because Thanksgiving is the sound of revival.

  742. Psalm 107 real quick, it says here, give thanks to the Lord

  743. for his good, His love endures forever.

  744. Now let the redeemed Lord tell their story.

  745. But OK, so the redeemed of the Lord say, so they tell their

  746. story. The redeemed of the Lord do not

  747. stay silent. They do not mumble softly, OK, I

  748. thank you Jesus from from the desk, OK, They tell their

  749. stories. They do not stay silent.

  750. They testify. Each and every one of us has

  751. fault to tell. Everyone of us can say yes,

  752. Lord, thank you that once I was lost.

  753. Now I'm saying once I was blind and now I can sue.

  754. I am healed. You have saved me.

  755. You have touched my life, OK, You have delivered me.

  756. You have broken the addiction. You have given me peace.

  757. You have saved the cut the screen.

  758. Thank you Lord, each and everyone of us had a story.

  759. This how? Listen, I am not ashamed of the

  760. gospel of Jesus Christ. I am sorry.

  761. I will not be ashamed or I will not be silenced.

  762. I am not ashamed of the gospel. I don't care where I go.

  763. I share it really. If people not like it or not, I

  764. love them and I bless people and I thank God.

  765. Majority of people love to hear my story anyway, so I'm very

  766. grateful. I I'm not ashamed of the gospel.

  767. I'd have to tell them the story. I love to hear my story.

  768. I told him this story. Yeah, we got I thank God and

  769. that's the sound of revival breaking loose when we share our

  770. story. And that's the Luke Chuck 90.

  771. I love it. Jesus.

  772. There is, he says, riding into Jerusalem and then all the

  773. people crazy again, loud, grateful, shouting praises.

  774. Read it. He said the Bible, it's

  775. biblical, Jesus writes in people are praising, they are praising

  776. God loudly. Oh, the Pharisees, they just

  777. don't like it. 1 battle, they said they don't like it, they

  778. listen. The religious crowd, they don't.

  779. The religious crowd, they try to shut down the sound of revival.

  780. That's religion. The thing is, religion gets

  781. really nervous when gratitude gets loud.

  782. Come on, somebody. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

  783. That's a spirit of religion. The moment the church starts

  784. getting loud, they want to silence the sound of revival.

  785. Haba, haba. I'm sorry, but I just want.

  786. I want to be silent. We want to be silent.

  787. Yes. We won't be silent.

  788. We won't be silent. We will shout.

  789. We will praise. We want it twice.

  790. Hallelujah. Yeah.

  791. Yeah, that's exactly right. Praise God.

  792. Because you know, when the religious crowd, they tried to

  793. silence them, what was what did Jesus say?

  794. I love this religious crowd. They tried to silence Jesus said

  795. listen, if these people quiet, if they silent the rocks and the

  796. stones for Brian, listen, I've got news for the enemy and the

  797. religious crowd. Let's say we will not be silent.

  798. The rocks ain't crying out. We will.

  799. We are the church. We are faithful.

  800. We will place God. We are grateful.

  801. Hallelujah. Yes, Revelation 7 tells us the

  802. sound of heaven. John, he wrote Revelation

    Revelation 7 chapter mention

  803. Chapter 7 and he said multitudes, countless of people

  804. from nations, every tribe, every language in heaven, giving

  805. praises, shouting salvation, glory, honour, thanks be to our

  806. God forever and ever. That's the sound of heaven.

  807. Heaven is loud with gratitude. That's heaven.

  808. Heaven doesn't get tired of saying thank you.

  809. Heaven is now thank you God, praising Hallelujah.

  810. And so when the church get alive of heaven, when the church on

  811. earth starts to sound like heaven, the world, the nations,

  812. the cities will take notice and the people will say, wow, that's

  813. a thankful church. That's a grateful church.

  814. That's a church where miracles, that's where testimonies for

  815. that's where lives are being touched and chase.

  816. That is a thankful church. That is US revival family.

  817. That is what God has called us to be.

  818. Somebody shot Hallelujah. So right now we are not just

  819. closing this message, but we are igniting a movement of

  820. Thanksgiving, a movement of gratitude.

  821. Shut on your feet, somebody stand to your feet.

  822. We are about to turn this room in.

  823. The sound of revival right now. Go ahead, just thank him.

  824. Open your lips. Turn this place into sound of

  825. revival. Thank you Jesus, come on.

  826. Thank you, Jesus, come on. Thank you for saving me.

  827. Tell him. Come on louder.

  828. Thank you for healing me. Thank you for what you're doing

  829. in my family. Thank you for what you're doing

  830. in our city, in our nation. Thank you, Lord, for what you're

  831. doing in this church. Yes, the base is still ahead.

  832. Come on, keep on going. Don't stop.

  833. This is the sound of breakthrough.

  834. This is the sound of change falling.

  835. This is the sound of revival breaking loose with our region.

  836. Now I want you all declare this with me.

  837. Say it like you mean it. My life overflows of

  838. Thanksgiving. My heart stays grateful.

  839. I will thank God in all circumstances, in the store and

  840. in the victory. I am not one of the nine.

  841. I am the one who comes back. I carry the sound of revival

  842. everywhere I go. My home, my job, my region will

  843. hear the shout of a grateful heart.

  844. Come on, somebody shall come on. Give him your Lord, his praise

  845. right now. And so a thankful church is an

  846. unstoppable church. Some of you, as we've been

  847. talking, the Holy Spirit has put His finger on some areas where

  848. you have slipped into negativity, complaining,

  849. heaviness, worry, fear, doubts. Maybe your praise has gone

  850. quiet. Maybe Thanksgiving has dried up.

  851. But today there is an invitation, and the Lord is

  852. inviting us to lay down the garment of heaviness and pick up

  853. the garment of praise. Let the fire of God, a fresh

  854. fire, fall on our hearts. Let God light a fresh fire of

  855. Thanksgiving on the altar of your heart.

  856. So if that's you, just put your hand on your heart right now and

  857. receive this. Pray, Father, I pray for every

  858. person here. You see their battles, the

  859. disappointments, the waiting, the questions.

  860. And Lord, you are faithful. Pour out fresh grace of

  861. Thanksgiving and lift off heaviness.

  862. Lift off yokes and burdens and break negativity and

  863. complaining. Lord, heal weary and cynical

  864. hearts. Remove doubt and fear and

  865. unbelief. Holy Spirit, set every heart on

  866. fire again with gratitude, with Thanksgiving.

  867. Let us see your goodness clearly, Lord, let Thanksgiving

  868. rise in our homes, our families, our communities.

  869. Let there be Thanksgiving in our cars, our workplaces,

  870. Thanksgiving in our conversations, now in our homes.

  871. Let us give you thanks in everything long.

  872. Make us a people who cut me. The sound of revival.

  873. Joyful, overflowing gratitude for who you and what you've done

  874. is Jesus body like come on somebody give God some praise.

  875. Hallelujah. Now before we leave, I want to

  876. speak to those who say, pastor, I've never received Jesus as my

  877. Lord and my Savior. The greatest thing you could

  878. ever thank God is not a job, not a breakthrough, not healing, but

  879. the Son, Jesus Christ, because Jesus Christ bled and died, gave

  880. his life so that you can have eternal life.

  881. So right now, if that is you and you say, pastor, yes, I need

  882. Jesus. I want Jesus to come into my

  883. heart because the Bible says we have all fallen.

  884. We have all said we've all come short of the glory of God.

  885. We cannot fix ourselves. We need Jesus, we need a savior.

  886. And so right now, if you say, pastor, I want to receive Jesus

  887. as my Lord and my Savior, and I want a new story, just quickly

  888. slip up your hand right there where you are.

  889. Heaven cease. If you want to be included in

  890. this prayer, don't hesitate. This is your moment today.

  891. Everybody just pray out. Lord Jesus, I invite you to come

  892. into my life to be my Lord and my Saviour.

  893. I repent of my sins. Come into my heart.

  894. I give you my life for me with your Holy Spirit in Jesus name,

  895. Amen. So if you prayed, I pray.

  896. All of heaven needs to rejoicing.

  897. Come on, let's rejoicing together.

  898. Welcome to the family of God, Praise God, Hallelujah.
