Pastor matt hagee: if you would,
00:00:14.308 --> 00:00:14.942
Pastor matt hagee: if you would, please stand for
00:00:15.009 --> 00:00:15.743
Please stand for the reading of god's word.
00:00:15.810 --> 00:00:16.811
The reading of god's word. and if you brought your bibles,
00:00:16.877 --> 00:00:17.978
And if you brought your bibles, turn them to the book
00:00:18.045 --> 00:00:18.979
Turn them to the book of 1 thessalonians 5:16,
00:00:19.046 --> 00:00:23.084
Of 1 thessalonians 5:16, as this morning we continue
00:00:23.150 --> 00:00:24.285
As this morning we continue in the sermon series,
00:00:24.351 --> 00:00:25.519
In the sermon series, "an all access pass,"
00:00:25.586 --> 00:00:27.655
"an all access pass," discussing how thanksgiving
00:00:27.721 --> 00:00:30.591
Discussing how thanksgiving is the key to miracles.
00:00:30.658 --> 00:00:33.194
Is the key to miracles. last week, we recognized
00:00:33.260 --> 00:00:35.362
Last week, we recognized what the bible tells us about
00:00:35.429 --> 00:00:36.864
What the bible tells us about how we gain access to god
00:00:36.931 --> 00:00:38.365
How we gain access to god our father in heaven,
00:00:38.432 --> 00:00:40.501
Our father in heaven, the power and the presence
00:00:40.568 --> 00:00:41.535
The power and the presence of his holy spirit
00:00:41.602 --> 00:00:42.403
Of his holy spirit in our life,
00:00:42.470 --> 00:00:43.737
In our life, and the joy of our salvation,
00:00:43.804 --> 00:00:45.773
And the joy of our salvation, jesus christ.
00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:47.608
Jesus christ. it comes from psalms 100:4-5.
00:00:47.675 --> 00:00:49.910
It comes from psalms 100:4-5. it says, "enter into his gates
00:00:49.977 --> 00:00:51.378
It says, "enter into his gates with thanksgiving and into
00:00:51.445 --> 00:00:53.981
With thanksgiving and into his courts with praise."
00:00:54.048 --> 00:00:57.184
His courts with praise." nowhere in the bible
00:00:57.251 --> 00:00:57.918
Nowhere in the bible do you get to whine your way
00:00:57.985 --> 00:00:59.887
Do you get to whine your way into god's kingdom.
00:00:59.954 --> 00:01:02.690
Into god's kingdom. you have to be thankful
00:01:02.756 --> 00:01:03.757
You have to be thankful unto him and bless his name.
00:01:03.824 --> 00:01:07.128
Unto him and bless his name. thanksgiving is not
00:01:07.194 --> 00:01:08.129
Thanksgiving is not the last thursday
00:01:08.195 --> 00:01:09.196
The last thursday of the month of november,
00:01:09.263 --> 00:01:11.532
Of the month of november, thanksgiving is a mindset
00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:14.235
Thanksgiving is a mindset for every child of god.
00:01:14.301 --> 00:01:16.303
For every child of god. because every day that
00:01:16.370 --> 00:01:17.404
Because every day that we live and breathe,
00:01:17.471 --> 00:01:18.205
We live and breathe, we have something
00:01:18.272 --> 00:01:19.440
We have something to be thankful for.
00:01:19.507 --> 00:01:21.208
To be thankful for. thanksgiving is what cancels out
00:01:21.275 --> 00:01:23.677
Thanksgiving is what cancels out the seeds of bitterness
00:01:23.744 --> 00:01:25.246
The seeds of bitterness and complaint in your life.
00:01:25.312 --> 00:01:27.882
And complaint in your life. thanksgiving erases regrets,
00:01:27.948 --> 00:01:29.884
Thanksgiving erases regrets, because rather than worry about
00:01:29.950 --> 00:01:31.318
Because rather than worry about what might have been,
00:01:31.385 --> 00:01:32.319
What might have been, you're thankful
00:01:32.386 --> 00:01:33.020
You're thankful for what has been
00:01:33.087 --> 00:01:33.821
For what has been and you're looking forward
00:01:33.888 --> 00:01:34.955
And you're looking forward to what will be.
00:01:35.022 --> 00:01:35.823
[applause]
00:01:36.357 --> 00:01:40.995
Thanksgiving is a lifestyle
00:01:41.495 --> 00:01:42.696
Thanksgiving is a lifestyle and the bible commands us,
00:01:42.763 --> 00:01:44.431
And the bible commands us, "in everything give thanks."
00:01:44.498 --> 00:01:48.502
"in everything give thanks." 1 thessalonians 5 is where
00:01:48.569 --> 00:01:50.371
1 thessalonians 5 is where we read these words,
00:01:50.437 --> 00:01:51.438
We read these words, verse 16.
00:01:51.505 --> 00:01:52.306
Verse 16. if you've found them,
00:01:52.373 --> 00:01:52.907
If you've found them, say "amen."
00:01:52.973 --> 00:01:54.508
Say "amen." "rejoice always,
00:01:54.575 --> 00:01:57.311
"rejoice always, pray without ceasing,
00:01:57.378 --> 00:01:59.413
Pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks."
00:01:59.480 --> 00:02:02.283
In everything give thanks." read that line again.
00:02:02.349 --> 00:02:04.118
Read that line again. "in everything give thanks;
00:02:04.185 --> 00:02:07.354
"in everything give thanks; for this is the will of god
00:02:07.421 --> 00:02:09.857
For this is the will of god in christ jesus for you."
00:02:09.924 --> 00:02:12.626
In christ jesus for you." heavenly father,
00:02:12.693 --> 00:02:14.862
Heavenly father, today as we hear your word,

Today as we hear your word, not only allow us to hear it,
00:02:18.532 --> 00:02:20.568
Not only allow us to hear it, but give us the strength
00:02:20.634 --> 00:02:21.468
But give us the strength to do it.
00:02:21.535 --> 00:02:23.137
To do it. to recognize that
00:02:23.204 --> 00:02:23.971
To recognize that in all things you are great
00:02:24.038 --> 00:02:25.272
In all things you are great and greatly to be praised.
00:02:25.339 --> 00:02:27.241
And greatly to be praised. that you are the god who
00:02:27.308 --> 00:02:28.676
That you are the god who holds everything in the palm
00:02:28.742 --> 00:02:30.177
Holds everything in the palm of his hands,
00:02:30.244 --> 00:02:30.778
Of his hands, including our lives.
00:02:30.844 --> 00:02:32.880
Including our lives. and when we use
00:02:32.947 --> 00:02:33.614
And when we use our gifts and our talents
00:02:33.681 --> 00:02:35.082
Our gifts and our talents to magnify your name,
00:02:35.149 --> 00:02:37.084
To magnify your name, you manifest your
00:02:37.151 --> 00:02:38.285
You manifest your miracle working power in ways
00:02:38.352 --> 00:02:39.954
Miracle working power in ways that we can't even imagine.
00:02:40.020 --> 00:02:42.223
That we can't even imagine. this and so much more
00:02:42.289 --> 00:02:43.958
This and so much more is what you have promised.
00:02:44.024 --> 00:02:45.759
Is what you have promised. let it be our portion today.
00:02:45.826 --> 00:02:47.461
Let it be our portion today. and all of god's children said,
00:02:47.528 --> 00:02:48.762
And all of god's children said, "praise the lord."
00:02:48.829 --> 00:02:50.297
"praise the lord." you may be seated.
00:02:50.364 --> 00:02:52.933
Rejoice always.
00:02:55.135 --> 00:02:58.172
Rejoice always. how many of you see
00:02:58.239 --> 00:02:59.006
How many of you see any negotiable room in that?
00:02:59.073 --> 00:03:02.476
Any negotiable room in that? paul is talking
00:03:02.543 --> 00:03:03.510
Paul is talking to the first century church
00:03:03.577 --> 00:03:05.446
To the first century church in the city of thessalonica
00:03:05.512 --> 00:03:07.281
In the city of thessalonica and he's giving them
00:03:07.348 --> 00:03:08.015
And he's giving them these instructions.
00:03:08.082 --> 00:03:09.250
These instructions. it's not unique for this
00:03:09.316 --> 00:03:10.484
It's not unique for this particular church.
00:03:10.551 --> 00:03:11.919
Particular church. as a matter of fact,
00:03:11.986 --> 00:03:12.586
As a matter of fact, throughout the new testament,
00:03:12.653 --> 00:03:14.221
Throughout the new testament, he gives very
00:03:14.288 --> 00:03:14.722
He gives very similar statements,
00:03:14.788 --> 00:03:15.723
Similar statements, but in this particular
00:03:15.789 --> 00:03:16.757
But in this particular passage he says, "rejoice,"
00:03:16.824 --> 00:03:18.425
Passage he says, "rejoice," how frequently?
00:03:18.492 --> 00:03:19.960
How frequently? "always."
00:03:20.027 --> 00:03:21.962
"always." and then, he says,
00:03:22.029 --> 00:03:22.429
And then, he says, "pray without ceasing."
00:03:22.496 --> 00:03:25.899
"pray without ceasing." when paul is telling the church
00:03:25.966 --> 00:03:27.434
When paul is telling the church to pray without ceasing,
00:03:27.501 --> 00:03:28.669
To pray without ceasing, what he's saying is,
00:03:28.736 --> 00:03:30.037
What he's saying is, is that rejoicing
00:03:30.104 --> 00:03:31.105
Is that rejoicing should be a lifestyle
00:03:31.171 --> 00:03:32.106
Should be a lifestyle and prayer should be a lifestyle
00:03:32.172 --> 00:03:34.174
And prayer should be a lifestyle so that you are so constantly
00:03:34.241 --> 00:03:35.476
So that you are so constantly involved in the act
00:03:35.542 --> 00:03:36.844
Involved in the act of being rejoiceful,
00:03:36.910 --> 00:03:38.212
Of being rejoiceful, of being thankful
00:03:38.279 --> 00:03:39.413
Of being thankful and praying that whenever
00:03:39.480 --> 00:03:40.881
And praying that whenever you are in god's presence,
00:03:40.948 --> 00:03:42.416
You are in god's presence, he's moving things
00:03:42.483 --> 00:03:43.384
He's moving things on earth on your behalf.
00:03:43.450 --> 00:03:46.420
On earth on your behalf. he didn't say be thankful unto
00:03:46.487 --> 00:03:47.955
He didn't say be thankful unto him between 8:30 and 11 o'clock
00:03:48.022 --> 00:03:49.857
Him between 8:30 and 11 o'clock on sunday morning and go back
00:03:49.923 --> 00:03:51.191
On sunday morning and go back to your complaining ways after
00:03:51.258 --> 00:03:52.426
To your complaining ways after the dismissal of service.
00:03:52.493 --> 00:03:53.827
The dismissal of service. he said, "rejoice always,
00:03:53.894 --> 00:03:55.529
He said, "rejoice always, pray without ceasing,"
00:03:55.596 --> 00:03:57.264
Pray without ceasing," and just in case
00:03:57.331 --> 00:03:58.632
And just in case you thought you missed it,
00:03:58.699 --> 00:03:59.366
You thought you missed it, he said, "in everything,
00:03:59.433 --> 00:04:02.102
He said, "in everything, give thanks."
00:04:02.169 --> 00:04:06.507
Give thanks." that's simple to understand,
00:04:06.573 --> 00:04:08.008
That's simple to understand, but it's not easy to do.
00:04:08.075 --> 00:04:10.944
But it's not easy to do. how do you give thanks
00:04:11.011 --> 00:04:11.679
How do you give thanks for hard things?
00:04:11.745 --> 00:04:13.747
For hard things? how do you give thanks when
00:04:13.814 --> 00:04:15.649
How do you give thanks when your expectations aren't met?
00:04:15.716 --> 00:04:17.718
Your expectations aren't met? how do you give thanks
00:04:17.785 --> 00:04:18.686
How do you give thanks when what you were hoping for
00:04:18.752 --> 00:04:20.454
When what you were hoping for is the last thing that
00:04:20.521 --> 00:04:21.789
Is the last thing that you're gonna get?
00:04:21.855 --> 00:04:25.159
You're gonna get? you give thanks because
00:04:25.225 --> 00:04:25.959
You give thanks because you recognize that there is
00:04:26.026 --> 00:04:27.161
You recognize that there is a god who is sovereign.
00:04:27.227 --> 00:04:30.764
A god who is sovereign. there is a god who sees
00:04:30.831 --> 00:04:31.598
There is a god who sees what you do not.
00:04:31.665 --> 00:04:32.466
What you do not. there is a god who can
00:04:32.533 --> 00:04:33.334
There is a god who can do what you cannot.
00:04:33.400 --> 00:04:34.468
Do what you cannot. there is a god who sits
00:04:34.535 --> 00:04:36.003
There is a god who sits on the throne and his desire
00:04:36.070 --> 00:04:37.838
On the throne and his desire is to give you
00:04:37.905 --> 00:04:38.539
Is to give you a hope and a future,
00:04:38.605 --> 00:04:39.873
A hope and a future, and because he is god,
00:04:39.940 --> 00:04:41.475
And because he is god, you have a reason
00:04:41.542 --> 00:04:43.177
You have a reason to be thankful.
00:04:43.243 --> 00:04:45.679
To be thankful. these are the instructions
00:04:45.746 --> 00:04:46.547
These are the instructions that god gives to his church,
00:04:46.613 --> 00:04:47.815
That god gives to his church, "in everything give thanks."
00:04:47.881 --> 00:04:50.984
"in everything give thanks." say that with me,
00:04:51.051 --> 00:04:52.086
Say that with me, "in everything give thanks."
00:04:52.152 --> 00:04:56.256
"in everything give thanks." because thanksgiving
00:04:56.323 --> 00:04:57.257
Because thanksgiving enables you to receive
00:04:57.324 --> 00:04:58.792
Enables you to receive the miracle working power of god
00:04:58.859 --> 00:05:01.061
The miracle working power of god in your life.
00:05:01.128 --> 00:05:02.963
In your life. today, i'm looking
00:05:03.030 --> 00:05:03.864
Today, i'm looking at millions of people
00:05:03.931 --> 00:05:05.599
At millions of people here in this room
00:05:05.666 --> 00:05:06.834
Here in this room and those who are joining us
00:05:06.900 --> 00:05:08.235
And those who are joining us that you really want
00:05:08.302 --> 00:05:09.036
That you really want a miracle from god
00:05:09.103 --> 00:05:10.003
A miracle from god in some place spiritually,
00:05:10.070 --> 00:05:11.772
In some place spiritually, physically, financially,
00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:13.240
Physically, financially, in restoring something that
00:05:13.307 --> 00:05:14.808
In restoring something that the devil in some way has tried
00:05:14.875 --> 00:05:16.577
The devil in some way has tried to break and keep from you.
00:05:16.643 --> 00:05:19.480
To break and keep from you. and for as many people as
00:05:19.546 --> 00:05:20.581
And for as many people as there are who need a miracle
00:05:20.647 --> 00:05:21.715
There are who need a miracle and believe in miracles,
00:05:21.782 --> 00:05:22.750
And believe in miracles, there's other people who debate
00:05:22.816 --> 00:05:24.084
There's other people who debate that miracles even exist.
00:05:24.151 --> 00:05:26.787
That miracles even exist. well, quickly let's define
00:05:26.854 --> 00:05:28.088
Well, quickly let's define what a miracle is because
00:05:28.155 --> 00:05:30.257
What a miracle is because a lot of times people
00:05:30.324 --> 00:05:31.125
A lot of times people use the word miracle
00:05:31.191 --> 00:05:32.192
Use the word miracle to describe something
00:05:32.259 --> 00:05:33.227
To describe something that has nothing to do
00:05:33.293 --> 00:05:34.094
That has nothing to do with the miraculous.
00:05:34.161 --> 00:05:35.929
With the miraculous. they say things like,
00:05:35.996 --> 00:05:36.430
They say things like, "it's a miracle that boy
00:05:36.497 --> 00:05:37.398
"it's a miracle that boy graduated from school."
00:05:37.464 --> 00:05:39.700
Graduated from school." no, truly, if you
00:05:39.767 --> 00:05:40.901
No, truly, if you go to enough classes,
00:05:40.968 --> 00:05:42.002
Go to enough classes, they'll let you out.
00:05:42.069 --> 00:05:43.036
[laughter]
00:05:43.537 --> 00:05:44.738
Grandparents look at
00:05:47.207 --> 00:05:48.642
Grandparents look at a son-in-law that they thought
00:05:48.709 --> 00:05:49.843
A son-in-law that they thought was a fool and they say,
00:05:49.910 --> 00:05:50.911
Was a fool and they say, "it's a miracle he's had
00:05:50.978 --> 00:05:51.812
"it's a miracle he's had the world's
00:05:51.879 --> 00:05:52.379
The world's smartest grandchild."
00:05:52.446 --> 00:05:55.649
Smartest grandchild." no, you just changed
00:05:55.716 --> 00:05:56.350
No, you just changed your perspective.
00:05:56.417 --> 00:05:59.353
Your perspective. but miracles are when god
00:05:59.420 --> 00:06:01.455
But miracles are when god steps out of the ordinary
00:06:01.522 --> 00:06:03.190
Steps out of the ordinary into the extraordinary,
00:06:03.257 --> 00:06:04.558
Into the extraordinary, and the purpose for which
00:06:04.625 --> 00:06:05.893
And the purpose for which he does it is to manifest
00:06:05.959 --> 00:06:07.461
He does it is to manifest his presence in your life
00:06:07.528 --> 00:06:09.129
His presence in your life and let you know that he's god.
00:06:09.196 --> 00:06:12.699
And let you know that he's god. god's miracles are not
00:06:12.766 --> 00:06:13.634
God's miracles are not general hand grenades
00:06:13.700 --> 00:06:14.768
General hand grenades that you throw out
00:06:14.835 --> 00:06:15.502
That you throw out for spiritual purposes.
00:06:15.569 --> 00:06:18.539
For spiritual purposes. god's miracles are specific.
00:06:18.605 --> 00:06:19.907
God's miracles are specific. god's miracles
00:06:19.973 --> 00:06:20.641
God's miracles are with a purpose,
00:06:20.707 --> 00:06:21.508
Are with a purpose, and the purpose is to cause
00:06:21.575 --> 00:06:23.177
And the purpose is to cause the skeptic to believe
00:06:23.243 --> 00:06:24.678
The skeptic to believe and to cause
00:06:24.745 --> 00:06:25.212
And to cause the believer to rejoice.
00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:28.482
The believer to rejoice. but thanksgiving is how
00:06:28.549 --> 00:06:29.850
But thanksgiving is how you receive a miracle from god.
00:06:29.917 --> 00:06:32.986
You receive a miracle from god. miracles are something
00:06:33.053 --> 00:06:33.854
Miracles are something only god can do, and trust me,
00:06:33.921 --> 00:06:35.522
Only god can do, and trust me, when you're standing
00:06:35.589 --> 00:06:36.156
When you're standing on the banks of the red sea
00:06:36.223 --> 00:06:37.891
On the banks of the red sea and the waters part
00:06:37.958 --> 00:06:38.792
And the waters part right and left
00:06:38.859 --> 00:06:39.560
Right and left and 2 million people
00:06:39.626 --> 00:06:40.794
And 2 million people walk across,
00:06:40.861 --> 00:06:41.695
Walk across, and then days later
00:06:41.762 --> 00:06:43.430
And then days later the egyptian army comes in
00:06:43.497 --> 00:06:45.332
The egyptian army comes in and they're drowning
00:06:45.399 --> 00:06:46.366
And they're drowning in the same sea that you
00:06:46.433 --> 00:06:47.668
In the same sea that you just walked through,
00:06:47.734 --> 00:06:48.669
Just walked through, that's a miracle because
00:06:48.735 --> 00:06:49.903
That's a miracle because only god can do that.
00:06:49.970 --> 00:06:52.606
Only god can do that. when you're on top
00:06:52.673 --> 00:06:53.073
When you're on top of mount carmel
00:06:53.140 --> 00:06:54.107
Of mount carmel and you've gotta sacrifice,
00:06:54.174 --> 00:06:55.275
And you've gotta sacrifice, and you want fire
00:06:55.342 --> 00:06:56.310
And you want fire to fall from heaven
00:06:56.376 --> 00:06:57.244
To fall from heaven and you've saturated it
00:06:57.311 --> 00:06:58.612
And you've saturated it with water and you kneel down
00:06:58.679 --> 00:06:59.980
With water and you kneel down to pray and a pillar of fire
00:07:00.047 --> 00:07:01.782
To pray and a pillar of fire falls from the clouds
00:07:01.849 --> 00:07:02.850
Falls from the clouds and it licks up the stones,
00:07:02.916 --> 00:07:04.485
And it licks up the stones, that's a miracle because
00:07:04.551 --> 00:07:05.552
That's a miracle because only god can do that.
00:07:05.619 --> 00:07:07.387
Only god can do that. when all you have is five loaves
00:07:07.454 --> 00:07:09.223
When all you have is five loaves and two fish and you put it
00:07:09.289 --> 00:07:10.858
And two fish and you put it in the hands of a carpenter,
00:07:10.924 --> 00:07:12.292
In the hands of a carpenter, and five loaves and two fish
00:07:12.359 --> 00:07:13.861
And five loaves and two fish become enough for
00:07:13.927 --> 00:07:14.828
Become enough for 5,000 with leftovers,
00:07:14.895 --> 00:07:16.497
5,000 with leftovers, that's a miracle because
00:07:16.563 --> 00:07:17.998
That's a miracle because only god can do that.
00:07:18.065 --> 00:07:19.933
Only god can do that. when you see three men
00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:21.235
When you see three men who are thrown into a fire,
00:07:21.301 --> 00:07:23.036
Who are thrown into a fire, and when they're thrown
00:07:23.103 --> 00:07:23.971
And when they're thrown into the fire,
00:07:24.037 --> 00:07:24.872
Into the fire, a fourth one appears,
00:07:24.938 --> 00:07:26.106
A fourth one appears, and then the three
00:07:26.173 --> 00:07:27.241
And then the three are pulled out without
00:07:27.307 --> 00:07:27.975
Are pulled out without the smell of smoke upon them,
00:07:28.041 --> 00:07:29.376
The smell of smoke upon them, church, that's a miracle
00:07:29.443 --> 00:07:30.844
Church, that's a miracle because only god can do that.
00:07:30.911 --> 00:07:32.946

00:09:18.952 --> 00:09:21.388
Thanksgiving is the key
00:09:22.689 --> 00:09:24.491
Thanksgiving is the key to miracles.
00:09:24.558 --> 00:09:26.226
To miracles. first, let's understand this.
00:09:26.293 --> 00:09:27.361
First, let's understand this. thanksgiving is not
00:09:27.427 --> 00:09:28.395
Thanksgiving is not a suggestion.
00:09:28.462 --> 00:09:30.364
A suggestion. it's not an encouragement that
00:09:30.430 --> 00:09:31.865
It's not an encouragement that the praise and worship leader
00:09:31.932 --> 00:09:32.866
The praise and worship leader gives you when he's trying
00:09:32.933 --> 00:09:34.568
Gives you when he's trying to inspire you
00:09:34.635 --> 00:09:35.302
To inspire you to worship the lord.
00:09:35.369 --> 00:09:36.503
To worship the lord. it's not something that
00:09:36.570 --> 00:09:37.471
It's not something that the pastor expects
00:09:37.537 --> 00:09:38.772
The pastor expects at the end of one
00:09:38.839 --> 00:09:39.373
At the end of one of his preaching points.
00:09:39.439 --> 00:09:41.375
Of his preaching points. thanksgiving is something that
00:09:41.441 --> 00:09:42.409
Thanksgiving is something that the church is required to do,
00:09:42.476 --> 00:09:44.177
The church is required to do, and it is a biblical command.
00:09:44.244 --> 00:09:45.312
And it is a biblical command. "be thankful unto him
00:09:45.379 --> 00:09:46.747
"be thankful unto him and bless his name."
00:09:46.813 --> 00:09:49.349
And bless his name." colossians 3:15,
00:09:49.416 --> 00:09:50.684
Colossians 3:15, "let the peace of god
00:09:50.751 --> 00:09:51.752

00:09:51.818 --> 00:09:53.086
Rule your hearts... and be thankful."
00:09:53.153 --> 00:09:55.455
And be thankful." say that with me,
00:09:55.522 --> 00:09:56.723
Say that with me, "and be thankful."
00:09:56.790 --> 00:09:58.458
"and be thankful." the text that we read today,
00:09:58.525 --> 00:09:59.626
The text that we read today, 1 thessalonians 5,
00:09:59.693 --> 00:10:02.329
1 thessalonians 5, "in everything give thanks."
00:10:02.396 --> 00:10:04.931
"in everything give thanks." paul tells
00:10:04.998 --> 00:10:05.699
Paul tells the new testament church,
00:10:05.766 --> 00:10:06.700
The new testament church, "when you gather,
00:10:06.767 --> 00:10:08.301
"when you gather, speak to yourselves
00:10:08.368 --> 00:10:09.436
Speak to yourselves in psalms and hymns
00:10:09.503 --> 00:10:11.038
In psalms and hymns and spiritual songs
00:10:11.104 --> 00:10:12.105
And spiritual songs singing and making melody
00:10:12.172 --> 00:10:13.640
Singing and making melody in your hearts,
00:10:13.707 --> 00:10:14.408
In your hearts, giving thanks always."
00:10:14.474 --> 00:10:18.445
Giving thanks always." giving thanks how?
00:10:18.512 --> 00:10:20.447
Giving thanks how? "always to god the father
00:10:20.514 --> 00:10:22.616
"always to god the father in the name of jesus christ."
00:10:22.683 --> 00:10:25.585
In the name of jesus christ." he's telling you how you should
00:10:25.652 --> 00:10:27.054
He's telling you how you should conduct yourself when you
00:10:27.120 --> 00:10:28.488
Conduct yourself when you get together in church.
00:10:28.555 --> 00:10:31.191
Get together in church. whenever you communicate,
00:10:31.258 --> 00:10:32.492
Whenever you communicate, you should be thankful unto him
00:10:32.559 --> 00:10:34.094
You should be thankful unto him and bless his name.
00:10:34.161 --> 00:10:37.564
And bless his name. not complain about
00:10:37.631 --> 00:10:38.598
Not complain about everything you wish
00:10:38.665 --> 00:10:39.733
Everything you wish he'd do in your name.
00:10:39.800 --> 00:10:43.637
He'd do in your name. now, here's something else
00:10:43.704 --> 00:10:44.237
Now, here's something else that we read in the bible.
00:10:44.304 --> 00:10:45.138
That we read in the bible. "to him who knows to do
00:10:45.205 --> 00:10:46.573
"to him who knows to do right and does it not,
00:10:46.640 --> 00:10:47.607
Right and does it not, to him it is sin."
00:10:47.674 --> 00:10:49.876
To him it is sin." that's found in
00:10:49.943 --> 00:10:50.377
That's found in the book of james 4.
00:10:50.444 --> 00:10:53.613
The book of james 4. so, if being thankful
00:10:53.680 --> 00:10:54.915
So, if being thankful is the right thing to do
00:10:54.981 --> 00:10:56.183
Is the right thing to do and it's a command,
00:10:56.249 --> 00:10:58.685
And it's a command, then being unthankful
00:10:58.752 --> 00:10:59.886
Then being unthankful when you know you should be
00:10:59.953 --> 00:11:01.021
When you know you should be thankful is a sin.
00:11:01.088 --> 00:11:03.690
Thankful is a sin. people with an unthankful
00:11:03.757 --> 00:11:04.591
People with an unthankful and complaining spirit,
00:11:04.658 --> 00:11:05.792
And complaining spirit, they don't have
00:11:05.859 --> 00:11:06.560
They don't have their prayers heard
00:11:06.626 --> 00:11:07.661
Their prayers heard in heavenly places.
00:11:07.728 --> 00:11:09.596
In heavenly places. "enter into his gates
00:11:09.663 --> 00:11:10.564
"enter into his gates with thanksgiving,
00:11:10.630 --> 00:11:11.465
With thanksgiving, into his courts with praise."
00:11:11.531 --> 00:11:14.868
Into his courts with praise." when you're unthankful,
00:11:14.935 --> 00:11:16.002
When you're unthankful, god puts the mute button
00:11:16.069 --> 00:11:18.038
God puts the mute button on your life.
00:11:18.105 --> 00:11:20.607
On your life. you're down here
00:11:20.674 --> 00:11:21.041
You're down here going through the motions,
00:11:21.108 --> 00:11:21.908
Going through the motions, but he doesn't hear
00:11:21.975 --> 00:11:22.709
But he doesn't hear anything in heaven.
00:11:22.776 --> 00:11:25.645
Anything in heaven. you say, "do you have
00:11:25.712 --> 00:11:26.313
You say, "do you have any bible proof for that?"
00:11:26.379 --> 00:11:27.380
Any bible proof for that?" of course, i do.
00:11:27.447 --> 00:11:27.981
Of course, i do. i wouldn't say it if i didn't.
00:11:28.048 --> 00:11:29.950
I wouldn't say it if i didn't. philippians 4:6,
00:11:30.016 --> 00:11:31.218
Philippians 4:6, "be anxious for nothing,
00:11:31.284 --> 00:11:33.220
"be anxious for nothing, but in prayer and thanksgiving
00:11:33.286 --> 00:11:35.288
But in prayer and thanksgiving let your request
00:11:35.355 --> 00:11:36.490
Let your request be made known to god."
00:11:36.556 --> 00:11:39.626
Be made known to god." with prayer and what?
00:11:39.693 --> 00:11:41.595
With prayer and what? thanksgiving.
00:11:41.661 --> 00:11:42.729

Long before the world
00:11:48.001 --> 00:11:48.969
Was formed.
00:11:48.969 --> 00:11:49.569

And his mercy endureth forever." here in philippians,

Here in philippians, "with prayer and thanksgiving."
00:12:56.236 --> 00:12:58.939
"with prayer and thanksgiving." that means, when you start
00:12:59.005 --> 00:13:00.006
That means, when you start a conversation with god,
00:13:00.073 --> 00:13:01.208
A conversation with god, you start by telling god
00:13:01.274 --> 00:13:02.809
You start by telling god how thankful you are
00:13:02.876 --> 00:13:04.110
How thankful you are that he is who he is
00:13:04.177 --> 00:13:06.012
That he is who he is and you are who you are.
00:13:06.079 --> 00:13:07.948
And you are who you are. don't start telling god
00:13:08.014 --> 00:13:09.416
Don't start telling god a long list of suggestions
00:13:09.482 --> 00:13:11.084
A long list of suggestions and complaints about
00:13:11.151 --> 00:13:12.018
And complaints about everything he needs
00:13:12.085 --> 00:13:12.786
Everything he needs to change in your county.
00:13:12.853 --> 00:13:16.590
To change in your county. he already knows
00:13:16.656 --> 00:13:17.324
He already knows what needs to be fixed.
00:13:17.390 --> 00:13:18.458
What needs to be fixed. he just wants to know
00:13:18.525 --> 00:13:19.359
He just wants to know if you know who can fix it.
00:13:19.426 --> 00:13:22.863
If you know who can fix it. this is why the bible says,
00:13:22.929 --> 00:13:24.164
This is why the bible says, "it is he who made us
00:13:24.231 --> 00:13:25.232
"it is he who made us and not we ourselves."
00:13:25.298 --> 00:13:26.299
And not we ourselves." when you thank god,
00:13:26.366 --> 00:13:27.634

00:13:27.701 --> 00:13:29.936
Thank god that he's the master and that you are the servant.
00:13:30.003 --> 00:13:31.304
And that you are the servant. when you thank god, thank god
00:13:31.371 --> 00:13:33.206
When you thank god, thank god that he is the potter
00:13:33.273 --> 00:13:34.608
That he is the potter and you are the clay.
00:13:34.674 --> 00:13:36.343
And you are the clay. when you thank god, thank god
00:13:36.409 --> 00:13:38.211
When you thank god, thank god that he knows what you don't,
00:13:38.278 --> 00:13:40.013
That he knows what you don't, he can do what you can't,
00:13:40.080 --> 00:13:41.414
He can do what you can't, and he has the resources
00:13:41.481 --> 00:13:42.849

Your every expectation. when you thank god, thank god

When you thank god, thank god you are not in charge.
00:13:48.955 --> 00:13:52.626
You are not in charge. when you think
00:13:52.692 --> 00:13:53.260
When you think you're in control,
00:13:53.326 --> 00:13:54.127
You're in control, your expectations have to be
00:13:54.194 --> 00:13:55.962
Your expectations have to be the outcome before you have
00:13:56.029 --> 00:13:57.130
The outcome before you have anything to be thankful about.
00:13:57.197 --> 00:13:59.399
Anything to be thankful about. "i thought it would go this way,
00:13:59.466 --> 00:14:00.834
"i thought it would go this way, but because it didn't go
00:14:00.901 --> 00:14:01.935
But because it didn't go the way i wanted it to go,
00:14:02.002 --> 00:14:03.069
The way i wanted it to go, i'm gonna complain about it
00:14:03.136 --> 00:14:04.404
I'm gonna complain about it instead of give praise for it."
00:14:04.471 --> 00:14:06.673
Instead of give praise for it." but when you recognize
00:14:06.740 --> 00:14:07.574
But when you recognize that he's god
00:14:07.641 --> 00:14:09.042
That he's god and you are not,
00:14:09.109 --> 00:14:09.943
And you are not, then from the rising of the sun
00:14:10.010 --> 00:14:11.578
Then from the rising of the sun to the going down
00:14:11.645 --> 00:14:12.112
To the going down of the same,
00:14:12.178 --> 00:14:13.079
Of the same, you can bless his name
00:14:13.146 --> 00:14:14.347
You can bless his name because you realize that
00:14:14.414 --> 00:14:15.849
Because you realize that he is already working things
00:14:15.916 --> 00:14:17.384
He is already working things out for your good.
00:14:17.450 --> 00:14:18.451
Out for your good. how do you know that?

Because he promised it, and if he promised it,
00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:21.821
And if he promised it, he has to perform it
00:14:21.888 --> 00:14:22.622
He has to perform it because he said,
00:14:22.689 --> 00:14:23.223
Because he said, "my word will not return void,
00:14:23.290 --> 00:14:24.858
"my word will not return void, but it will accomplish
00:14:24.925 --> 00:14:25.892
But it will accomplish every purpose for which
00:14:25.959 --> 00:14:27.127
Every purpose for which i have sent it."
00:14:27.193 --> 00:14:29.529
I have sent it." every good and perfect gift
00:14:29.596 --> 00:14:30.964
Every good and perfect gift comes from the father above

Comes from the father above in whom there is no shadow
00:14:32.232 --> 00:14:34.000
In whom there is no shadow or variation of turning.
00:14:34.067 --> 00:14:36.169

Miracles in the new testament. every miracle that he did,
00:14:44.177 --> 00:14:45.645
Every miracle that he did, the bible says that
00:14:45.712 --> 00:14:46.513
The bible says that he was thankful.
00:14:46.579 --> 00:14:48.515
He was thankful. he fed 5,000 with
00:14:48.581 --> 00:14:49.950
He fed 5,000 with five loaves and two fish.
00:14:50.016 --> 00:14:51.184
Five loaves and two fish. how did he do this?
00:14:51.251 --> 00:14:52.085
How did he do this? it says, "and when he had
00:14:52.152 --> 00:14:53.620
It says, "and when he had given thanks."
00:14:53.687 --> 00:14:56.489
Given thanks." when what was not enough
00:14:56.556 --> 00:14:57.724
When what was not enough was blessed, broken,
00:14:57.791 --> 00:14:59.492
Was blessed, broken, and those who had it
00:14:59.559 --> 00:15:00.660

For what you have and see if he will not increase it.

If he will not increase it. you say, "well, i don't
00:15:14.975 --> 00:15:15.542
You say, "well, i don't understand how he can take
00:15:15.608 --> 00:15:16.776

00:15:32.525 --> 00:15:33.393
When what you have are fish and bread,
00:15:33.460 --> 00:15:34.861
Are fish and bread, and you hand that to the god
00:15:34.928 --> 00:15:36.096
And you hand that to the god who all he has to do is say it,
00:15:36.162 --> 00:15:37.931
Who all he has to do is say it, your not enough can become
00:15:37.998 --> 00:15:39.265
Your not enough can become more than enough when
00:15:39.332 --> 00:15:40.400
More than enough when you have the power to give it
00:15:40.467 --> 00:15:41.501
You have the power to give it to the god who can
00:15:41.568 --> 00:15:42.302
To the god who can create all things.
00:15:42.369 --> 00:15:43.169
[cheering and applause]
00:15:43.536 --> 00:15:48.408
Thanksgiving not only gives you
00:15:50.043 --> 00:15:51.277
Thanksgiving not only gives you the access to miracles because
00:15:51.344 --> 00:15:52.846
The access to miracles because you serve a god of miracles,
00:15:52.912 --> 00:15:55.982
You serve a god of miracles, but thanksgiving is how you
00:15:56.049 --> 00:15:57.017
But thanksgiving is how you receive eternal blessings.
00:15:57.083 --> 00:16:01.488
Receive eternal blessings. there's temporary blessings
00:16:01.554 --> 00:16:03.223
There's temporary blessings and there's eternal blessings.
00:16:03.289 --> 00:16:06.092
And there's eternal blessings. and trust me, you'd trade every
00:16:06.159 --> 00:16:07.394
And trust me, you'd trade every temporary blessing you've ever
00:16:07.460 --> 00:16:08.661
Temporary blessing you've ever had for the eternal ones.
00:16:08.728 --> 00:16:10.864
Had for the eternal ones. in the new testament,
00:16:10.930 --> 00:16:11.531
In the new testament, in the book of luke,
00:16:11.598 --> 00:16:12.198
In the book of luke, we read about ten lepers.
00:16:12.265 --> 00:16:15.435
We read about ten lepers. these lepers who were
00:16:15.502 --> 00:16:17.470
These lepers who were in this circumstance
00:16:17.537 --> 00:16:18.338
In this circumstance would often live together,
00:16:18.405 --> 00:16:19.439
Would often live together, because who else was
00:16:19.506 --> 00:16:20.006
Because who else was gonna take care of you
00:16:20.073 --> 00:16:21.107
Gonna take care of you except for another leper?
00:16:21.174 --> 00:16:23.543
Except for another leper? leper colonies were places
00:16:23.610 --> 00:16:25.345
Leper colonies were places that nobody wanted to go.
00:16:25.412 --> 00:16:26.579
That nobody wanted to go. it's not like you were just
00:16:26.646 --> 00:16:27.680
It's not like you were just driving along the highway
00:16:27.747 --> 00:16:29.149
Driving along the highway and you went,
00:16:29.215 --> 00:16:29.582
And you went, "oh look, a leper colony."
00:16:29.649 --> 00:16:32.585
"oh look, a leper colony." they were off the beaten path.
00:16:32.652 --> 00:16:33.887
They were off the beaten path. so, when you hear
00:16:33.953 --> 00:16:35.121
So, when you hear about jesus christ
00:16:35.188 --> 00:16:36.089
About jesus christ being around ten lepers,
00:16:36.156 --> 00:16:37.957
Being around ten lepers, he was looking for people
00:16:38.024 --> 00:16:40.293
He was looking for people with leprosy.
00:16:40.360 --> 00:16:42.662
With leprosy. he didn't just find them.
00:16:42.729 --> 00:16:43.663
He didn't just find them. they were individuals that
00:16:43.730 --> 00:16:45.565
They were individuals that he had to intently look for.
00:16:45.632 --> 00:16:48.635
He had to intently look for. and when he comes
00:16:48.701 --> 00:16:49.169
And when he comes to these ten lepers,
00:16:49.235 --> 00:16:52.572
To these ten lepers, they're probably not
00:16:52.639 --> 00:16:53.306
They're probably not the only ones in the colony,
00:16:53.373 --> 00:16:54.474
The only ones in the colony, but they're the only ones
00:16:54.541 --> 00:16:55.508
But they're the only ones who have enough faith
00:16:55.575 --> 00:16:56.276
Who have enough faith to ask jesus to heal them.
00:16:56.342 --> 00:16:59.712
To ask jesus to heal them. and so, they ask,
00:16:59.779 --> 00:17:02.649
And so, they ask, "would you heal us?"
00:17:02.715 --> 00:17:04.918
"would you heal us?" and he does so.
00:17:04.984 --> 00:17:06.986
And he does so. and the bible says that
00:17:07.053 --> 00:17:07.987
And the bible says that when he prays for them,
00:17:08.054 --> 00:17:09.189
When he prays for them, the leprosy falls
00:17:09.255 --> 00:17:10.623
The leprosy falls off of their skin
00:17:10.690 --> 00:17:13.326
Off of their skin and they're brand new.
00:17:13.393 --> 00:17:15.562
And they're brand new. and he tells them,
00:17:15.628 --> 00:17:16.663
And he tells them, "go show yourself
00:17:16.729 --> 00:17:17.330
"go show yourself to the priest."
00:17:17.397 --> 00:17:18.932
To the priest." all ten men are running as fast
00:17:18.998 --> 00:17:23.136
All ten men are running as fast as they can because as soon
00:17:23.203 --> 00:17:25.672
As they can because as soon as the priest says,
00:17:25.738 --> 00:17:26.506
As the priest says, "you can go home,"
00:17:26.573 --> 00:17:27.407
"you can go home," "i can go be dad again.
00:17:27.474 --> 00:17:29.309
"i can go be dad again. i can go be a husband again.
00:17:29.375 --> 00:17:30.810
I can go be a husband again. i can go work again.
00:17:30.877 --> 00:17:32.011
I can go work again. i can go live again."
00:17:32.078 --> 00:17:33.279
I can go live again." who wouldn't want to quickly
00:17:33.346 --> 00:17:34.881
Who wouldn't want to quickly celebrate and rejoice that?
00:17:34.948 --> 00:17:36.116
Celebrate and rejoice that? but one of these lepers,
00:17:36.182 --> 00:17:38.118
But one of these lepers, he stops in the middle
00:17:38.184 --> 00:17:40.353
He stops in the middle of this race.
00:17:40.420 --> 00:17:41.855
Of this race. he says, "wait a second.
00:17:41.921 --> 00:17:47.527
He says, "wait a second. i was dead before
00:17:47.594 --> 00:17:50.363
I was dead before that man touched me.
00:17:50.430 --> 00:17:52.999
That man touched me. i wouldn't have the opportunity
00:17:53.066 --> 00:17:54.434
I wouldn't have the opportunity to be going and showing myself
00:17:54.501 --> 00:17:56.269
To be going and showing myself to the priest if it wasn't
00:17:56.336 --> 00:17:57.570
To the priest if it wasn't for this guy back here.
00:17:57.637 --> 00:18:00.507
For this guy back here. so, how can i go living my life
00:18:00.573 --> 00:18:02.375
So, how can i go living my life forward without taking a moment
00:18:02.442 --> 00:18:04.377
Forward without taking a moment and going backwards and saying,
00:18:04.444 --> 00:18:06.045
And going backwards and saying, "hey, i don't know
00:18:06.112 --> 00:18:08.715
"hey, i don't know how you did what you did,
00:18:08.781 --> 00:18:11.551
How you did what you did, but thank you for doing it."
00:18:11.618 --> 00:18:13.553
[applause]
00:18:13.887 --> 00:18:21.961
And jesus sees this one
00:18:23.563 --> 00:18:25.098
And jesus sees this one out of the ten come back to him
00:18:25.165 --> 00:18:29.502
Out of the ten come back to him and you can hear the pain
00:18:29.569 --> 00:18:32.205
And you can hear the pain in his voice when in luke,
00:18:32.272 --> 00:18:35.909
In his voice when in luke, jesus sees the one
00:18:35.975 --> 00:18:37.177
Jesus sees the one who's come back,
00:18:37.243 --> 00:18:38.478
Who's come back, and he looks up at the horizon,
00:18:38.545 --> 00:18:40.046
And he looks up at the horizon, he says, "were there not ten?
00:18:40.113 --> 00:18:44.217
He says, "were there not ten? where are the other nine?
00:18:44.284 --> 00:18:48.755
Where are the other nine? i healed all of them.
00:18:48.821 --> 00:18:51.891
I healed all of them. why is only one of them
00:18:51.958 --> 00:18:54.060
Why is only one of them recognizing where it came from?"
00:18:54.127 --> 00:18:56.696
Recognizing where it came from?" and jesus looks at
00:18:56.763 --> 00:18:57.564
And jesus looks at the one leper that was thankful,
00:18:57.630 --> 00:19:00.633
The one leper that was thankful, and he says, "go.
00:19:00.700 --> 00:19:03.169
And he says, "go. your faith has saved you."
00:19:03.236 --> 00:19:08.208
Your faith has saved you." you see, the healing
00:19:08.274 --> 00:19:09.242
You see, the healing from leprosy was
00:19:09.309 --> 00:19:10.210
From leprosy was a temporary blessing.
00:19:10.276 --> 00:19:12.712
A temporary blessing. as big as it was,
00:19:12.779 --> 00:19:13.746
As big as it was, it was just this much.
00:19:13.813 --> 00:19:16.349
It was just this much. but the salvation that
00:19:16.416 --> 00:19:17.717
But the salvation that he received from being thankful
00:19:17.784 --> 00:19:20.253
He received from being thankful is something that
00:19:20.320 --> 00:19:20.920
Is something that he's still celebrating today
00:19:20.987 --> 00:19:22.922
He's still celebrating today in heavenly places.
00:19:22.989 --> 00:19:24.023
[applause]
00:19:24.357 --> 00:19:31.030
"oh god, give me
00:19:31.397 --> 00:19:32.465
"oh god, give me a prosperous business."
00:19:32.532 --> 00:19:33.700
A prosperous business." and he does.
00:19:33.766 --> 00:19:35.568
And he does. that's temporary.
00:19:35.635 --> 00:19:37.270
That's temporary. "oh god,
00:19:37.337 --> 00:19:38.238
"oh god, give me a healthy life."
00:19:38.304 --> 00:19:39.405
Give me a healthy life." and he does, it's temporary.
00:19:39.472 --> 00:19:41.975
And he does, it's temporary. "oh god,
00:19:42.041 --> 00:19:42.809
"oh god, bless this and bless that."
00:19:42.875 --> 00:19:44.244
Bless this and bless that." and so many times,
00:19:44.310 --> 00:19:45.278
And so many times, we're so passionately
00:19:45.345 --> 00:19:46.479
We're so passionately calling out to god
00:19:46.546 --> 00:19:47.380
Calling out to god for the temporary blessings
00:19:47.447 --> 00:19:48.815
For the temporary blessings that we forget to give god
00:19:48.881 --> 00:19:50.149
That we forget to give god thanks for the eternal ones
00:19:50.216 --> 00:19:51.584
Thanks for the eternal ones that we didn't deserve
00:19:51.651 --> 00:19:52.585
That we didn't deserve and he gave us anyway.
00:19:52.652 --> 00:19:55.722
And he gave us anyway. in everything, give thanks.
00:19:55.788 --> 00:20:00.760
In everything, give thanks. but whatever you do,
00:20:00.827 --> 00:20:02.862
But whatever you do, don't complain.
00:20:02.929 --> 00:20:05.164
Don't complain. this is what the bible says.
00:20:05.231 --> 00:20:08.935
This is what the bible says. "do all things
00:20:09.002 --> 00:20:10.703
"do all things without murmuring."

Who were not excited about their job,
00:21:08.728 --> 00:21:09.495

00:22:10.056 --> 00:22:13.126
Have with this, here's why. jude 1:14-16, it says,
00:22:13.192 --> 00:22:16.496
Jude 1:14-16, it says, "behold, the lord cometh with
00:22:16.562 --> 00:22:17.630
"behold, the lord cometh with ten thousand of his angels
00:22:17.697 --> 00:22:20.833
Ten thousand of his angels to execute judgment on all
00:22:20.900 --> 00:22:24.303
To execute judgment on all and to convince the ungodly
00:22:24.370 --> 00:22:25.905
And to convince the ungodly of all their ungodly deeds."
00:22:25.972 --> 00:22:29.509
Of all their ungodly deeds." now, who does he put
00:22:29.575 --> 00:22:30.243
Now, who does he put at the top of the list
00:22:30.309 --> 00:22:31.210
At the top of the list of ungodly people?
00:22:31.277 --> 00:22:33.846
Of ungodly people? murmurers and complainers
00:22:33.913 --> 00:22:37.683
Murmurers and complainers walking in their own wants.
00:22:37.750 --> 00:22:41.521
Walking in their own wants. murmurers and complainers are on
00:22:41.587 --> 00:22:43.856
Murmurers and complainers are on the top of god's hit list
00:22:43.923 --> 00:22:46.259
The top of god's hit list when he shows up with
00:22:46.325 --> 00:22:47.193
When he shows up with ten thousand of his angels.
00:22:47.260 --> 00:22:52.131
Ten thousand of his angels. now, how much damage can
00:22:52.198 --> 00:22:53.166
Now, how much damage can ten thousand angels do?
00:22:53.232 --> 00:22:56.235
Ten thousand angels do? he only sent two
00:22:56.302 --> 00:22:57.336
He only sent two to sodom and gomorrah.
00:22:57.403 --> 00:23:00.006
To sodom and gomorrah. what do you think he's going
00:23:00.072 --> 00:23:00.940
What do you think he's going to do to people who don't know
00:23:01.007 --> 00:23:03.342
To do to people who don't know how to be thankful unto him
00:23:03.409 --> 00:23:05.511
How to be thankful unto him and bless his name?
00:23:05.578 --> 00:23:10.082
And bless his name? church, maybe you've forgotten
00:23:10.149 --> 00:23:11.918
Church, maybe you've forgotten where all of the good
00:23:11.984 --> 00:23:12.919
Where all of the good in your life came from.
00:23:12.985 --> 00:23:15.087
In your life came from. but my prayer is that today
00:23:15.154 --> 00:23:16.522
But my prayer is that today you remember that it all
00:23:16.589 --> 00:23:19.125
You remember that it all came from the same god
00:23:19.192 --> 00:23:20.393
Came from the same god who loved you,
00:23:20.460 --> 00:23:21.360
Who loved you, and redeemed you,
00:23:21.427 --> 00:23:22.395
And redeemed you, and sent his son
00:23:22.462 --> 00:23:22.962
And sent his son to die for you,
00:23:23.029 --> 00:23:24.363
To die for you, and that god
00:23:24.430 --> 00:23:25.431
And that god deserves your praise.
00:23:25.498 --> 00:23:27.300
