A THANKFUL HEART

Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition (definite requests), with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God. — Philippians 4:6

Years ago I taught a message saying that when you ask God for something, you should thank Him ahead of time that you are going to get it because that will help release your manifestation. I believe that. I took the scripture above to mean just that, that when I prayed for something, I should start thanking God that it was on its way. But one day God revealed a broader scope of that verse to me. He said, "No, what I am really saying there is that when you pray and petition Me for anything, make sure you are doing it from a foundation of a thankful heart." Then He went on to say, "If you are not thankful for what you already have, why should I give you more to complain about?"

In those days, I had a complaining heart, a murmuring, grumbling, faultfinding heart. I could find a thousand things to grumble about, but God does not want us to have a grumbling heart. He wants us to get to the place that we are living epistles, read of all men. From our lifestyle, people should be able to tell that there is something different about us, "Why are you so happy? Why are you so peaceful? Why are you so loving?" We are supposed to be salt and light to the world. Our lives are supposed to make people want what we have.

Good evening, radu, and a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.

No more tornado warnings? No more rain? A little warmth finally?

It’s been gently snowing here since morning...all the way to work, all during work (heavier than here), and all the way home just a bit ago.

[radu]

Howdy, Kathy.

I know you’re just tickled pink to see it snowing again. I don’t think y’all are going to have to worry about water shortage this summer.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Dear God:
I ask that no Airman, Coast Guardsman,
Marine, Sailor, Soldier, Reservist, National Guardsman, or Merchant Marine
feel alone or forgotten.

O Israel, hope in the Lord;
For with the Lord there is loving kindness,
And with Him is abundant redemption.
And He will redeem Israel
From all his iniquities.

Psalm 130:7 & 8

Hello Veterans, wherever you are!!

A Blessed Lord's Day and Shavua Tov to you.

Hey there, Kathy.

It was a gorgeous day here. Nary a cloud in the sky and though it started out cold this morning, it warmed up to 56. Nice enough to get out for a bit and enjoy it/

The snow just will not leave y’all alone, will it?!! The hits just keep on a-comin’.

Revival Comes

Bible in a Year:

• Leviticus 25
• Mark 1:23–45

If my people . . . will humble themselves . . . , then I will hear from heaven.

2 Chronicles 7:14

Aurukun is a small town in northern Australia—its Aboriginal population drawn from seven clans. While the gospel came to Aurukun a century ago, eye-for-eye retribution sometimes remained. In 2015, clan tensions grew, and when a murder happened, payback required someone from the offender’s family to die in return.

But something remarkable happened in early 2016. The people of Aurukun started seeking God in prayer. Repentance followed, then mass baptisms, as revival began sweeping the town. People were so joyful they danced in the streets, and instead of enacting payback, the family of the murdered man forgave the offending clan. Soon 1,000 people were in church each Sunday—in a town of just 1,300!

We see revivals like this in Scripture, as in Hezekiah’s day when crowds joyfully returned to God (2 Chronicles 30), and on the day of Pentecost when thousands repented (Acts 2:38–47). While revival is God’s work, done in His time, history shows prayer precedes it. “If my people . . . will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways,” God told Solomon, “I will forgive their sin and will heal their land” (2 Chronicles 7:14).

As the people of Aurukun found, revival brings joy and reconciliation to a town. How our own cities need such transformation! Father, bring revival to us too. Reflect & Pray

While there’s no “formula” for revival, what do you think helps lead to it? How can you respond to God today to help revival come?

Dear Father, please bring revival to our land, starting with me.

Hey there, radu!

Did you have trouble sleeping? Did you do a lot to get your sis moved back into her home? I noticed just now that our temps are very similar again.

[radu]

Howdy, luvie.

I did have trouble going to sleep last night and was quite unhappy when the alarm went off. LOL Even unhappier when I was ready to head out the door and called my brother to find out just where they were.

Apparently the apartment manager didn’t know the movers don’t work on Saturdays, and no one there had the key to the padlock on the storage pod door. There was no way to get Kim’s furniture out!

So it was called off for today. They were taking Kim back to the motel, then going back to Cookeville. Drove all that way for nothing today. Needless to say, my brother was not a happy man. Neither was the apartment manager after he tore into her. The past week has been a fiasco with constant last-minute changes in this move.

I got out for a bit this afternoon. It was 35 when I got up this morning but it warmed up to 56, with beautiful blue sky and bright sunshine.

I hope you had a pretty day to enjoy.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...and a Blessed Lord’s Day and Shavua Tov to you and yours.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.

And a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.

Hope you’ve gotten some good rest and time to work on your car. Stay warm!
