THANKSGIVING CAN RAISE THE DEAD!

[Jim W N]

After Jesus had said these words, He cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come forth!” And the man who had been dead for four days came out of his tomb!

This is one of the greatest miracles that Jesus performed. Lazarus had been dead for four days when Jesus raised him to life. Wouldn’t you agree that death is indeed an extreme problem? Having no money in the bank, being sick and losing your job, bad as they are, are not as bad as being dead!

But what I want you to see is this: If Jesus, in the most extreme of problems, shows us that the solution is still, “Father, I thank You,” then how much more should we thank God in the midst of the less serious problems we face. If thanksgiving can raise the dead, then let us give thanks in spite of the negative circumstances and we will see victory.

Unfortunately, we tend to do the opposite—murmur and complain. But murmuring and complaining only magnify the problem. Thanksgiving, on the other hand, is the language of faith which pleases God. I am not saying that we give thanks for the problems we have. No, we thank God that He is our answer and that He has already given every blessing to us (see Ephesians 1:3).

“But Pastor Prince, what I have is so little.”

My friend, thank God for the little you have and it will multiply. Jesus thanked His Father for the five barley loaves and two small fish, a little boy’s lunch, and they were multiplied to feed more than 5,000 people with 12 baskets full of leftovers (see John 6:8–13)! And notice that when the Holy Spirit talked about this event again, He specifically mentioned the Lord giving thanks—“the place where they ate bread after the Lord had given thanks” (John 6:23). The Holy Spirit seemed to be more pleased with the act of giving thanks than the miracle of multiplication or the 12 baskets full of leftovers.

Beloved, the more you thank God, the more you please Him. What little you have will be multiplied and whatever is dead in your life will be raised to life!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone and God bless you.

“Thanksgiving Can Raise the Dead”

So can voting, at least for Democrats.

[BipolarBob]

Democrats message “Thanksgiving will kill you dead”. Jesus or Democrats, the choice is obvious. Especially when the politicians don’t practice what they preach.

You beat me to it. I was going to say “So does election day.”

I hope the turkey doesn’t come to in the oven. That would be horrible.

All tables gathered for a Thanksgiving meal need to say a prayer praiseing God and thank him for our country and ask that he deliver us from the evil surrounding us today. Ask HIM to bless our President and everyone supporting him so that we can survive as a nation that worships HIM - our Lord, God.

[Jim W N]

Amen - and not just survive but THRIVE.

I thank you, Father, that you have heard me.

So I’m reading this thread, praying silent prayers of thanks while sitting on my porch sipping coffee while the turkey roasts. I hear the distant drone of an airplane obviously doing acrobatics so I step outside and it’s a sky writer spelling NK G... So I assume it’s going to say Thanks Giving, but it finished with OD... Thank God! I just wanted to share

[Jim W N]

Thanks for sharing and it sounds like you’re already having a blessed day.
