Gratitude

this morning while in prayer what rested on my soul was "gratitude". I heard in the Spirit that every prayer must start with gratitude/thanks. now I know must of us, if not all of us, do this anyway but this was my specific assignment and i'm sharing it with you.

God said that every prayer must start with gratitude and thanksgiving and not just because He wants to hear it but because in that gratitude we may find the answer for the very thing that we were going to ask God for.

if we go down that list of things that we are grateful for we may find that thing we were going to ask for. example; you are thankful for a roof and the abundance of food and clothing but you were going to ask God to provide for the need of a friend because they need clothes or food or ...shelter, well you've got the answer to your request right there in your storehouse.

you thank God for peace of mind, a job, your strength and patience and then in the next breath you are asking that He do a new thing on your job and work on a particular co-worker because they are trying your patience, they are challenging the Jesus in you. well you just thanked Him for peace of mind so tap into that peace, you just thanked Him for strength and patience so tap into His source for you because He placed you there, possibly, to be that resource for the co-worker.

so before you place another request in the "God I Need" box look through your "God I Have Already & I Thank You" box.

peace and blessing wonderful people!

Wells

He is the potter we are the clay.


We are all vessels, wells and God pours His living waters into us so that we may thirst no more.  So that we have the life He ordained for us to have, so that we may feed others from that same well and refresh their spirits.  therefore we can not allow others to poison/contaminate our wells with their negativity, with their ignorance or stupidity, with their baggage or rocks.  We have to stand on His word for our lives and quench the thirst of our loved ones and those open to hear His word, we have to and are pouring into them.  Power or poison, life or death, pure or contaminated, the choice is ours and know that it not only affects us but it infects others. ~ jai ar
