The Rapture Force

I have been thinking. I keep getting all these emails, sign this petition sign that petition.These are from Christian groups all over the place.I cannot help but wonder,why are Christians,in essence, fighting against God? His plans. God said all of this was going to come about. His word says this was all going to happen. The prophecy scholars all talk about the end times,we are in those end times. The bible says there will be famine ,wheat would cost a days wage for one person.earth quakes,crazy storms. Signs all around us.There is coming a time very soon where it is going to cost us outrageous money for a loaf of bread.Inflation they said is coming and very soon.

Now the governments of the world are talking about one world currency,and there are Christians who are freaking out about this. They want us to fight against it all. It reminds me of when Jesus told Peter in Matthew 16:23 But hHe turned and said unto Peter,Get thee behind me, satan:thou art an offense to me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God,but thous savourest those that be of man. In the paraphrased bible it says it like this,Jesus turned on peter and said,get away from me you satan,you are a dangerous trap to me.You are thinking merely from a human point of view,and not from God’s.

What could Jesus have meant by that, thinking in human ways not God’s? Well to me that says Jesus is saying, your messing with God’s plan here. You cannot see the bigger picture. God’s plans must come to fruition, the exact way He said they would. People God always has His way! The plans were laid out long before we came along, and they will be going along in the same vein without us here. We are not going to change God’s way of thinking. Nor His plans. Everything must come about exactly how God said they would. So our lamenting and complaining and fighting,is not going to change God. Nor His plan.

There is going to come about this one world currency. Then the one world government is going to come about. Man some people are going to freak out at that, for sure. There is nothing we are going to say do, or fight about with (people we are supposed to love and set an example for btw)
Governments,as well as people who are false teachers that is going to stop it from happening. Evil is setting it’s tenterhooks into the world and going in deep for the kill. They have been setting the whole end times in motion for about 61 years now,actually quite a while longer than that. Evil had his plan as far back as the garden of eden. But now when Israel became it’s own country and government,admittedly heavily tied with America,thats when satan really started setting up his plan for the doom of the earth he is going to take it over and have us worship him above God. Or so he thinks.

He will not get this Christian. Praise God! he wont get any of us Christians who know God’s word and His plans for us. No matter what we will face, we are already victorious. The word was spoken, and it will go forth, come what may. God’s plan has been written since before the foundations of the earth were laid. We all know when God speaks,no matter what man woman, or child thinks of His plan,He knows best what to do, and will do it.Stop putting what you think should happen,before what God says will happen. The thing I have learned best about prophecy is, You have no clue how exactly it is going to all play out. That is where faith comes into the picture. Knowing God will do what He has said He would do. Knowing He has fabulous plans for you, His very strong knowledgeable Christian. He is going to make us shine like the light in the end times.

Then there is going to necessitate a one world religion. Since all the people on earth are united in every way, money wise and government wise,we all need to have the same beliefs. People will not be free to have their own thoughts, religion, or anything we are used to. Well here in America anyway. There are plenty of countries that do not want the people thinking for themselves. Unfortunately America is going down that same path, or so it would appear.Thats all you hear now a days,is how the government wants to take away our freedoms. Well I have news for you all,God said this was going to happen,and guess what? It is happening.Your signing petitions is not going to net you results. Your holding up signs in the streets are not going to get you anything but noticed in the wrong way.

Our job people is to love no matter what just love love love one another. Loving people means, being a shining example of God’s love for people and His grace at work through us. If the world sees Christians pointing fingers everywhere, and standing in the streets protesting, what good are you doing God? What kind of example is that of Christian love? We are simply and easily enough just supposed to love people every people in the world. Hate evil but love the people who have evil that lives in them. Those are some seriously hurting people right there. The world is cruel, but God is love. He loves every person on earth equally saved or not. He does not love you mister or misses Christian anymore than he loves the murderer on death row. He loves us all. There is forgiveness for every man woman and child, no matter what they have done wrong. Just remember in the words of Paul we were all at one time sinners lost in our sin. Do you think your lying to your wife or kids, is any less of a sin, than is murder?

In Gods eyes all sin is wrong. He is soooo HOLY!!!! (shout that word, holy,makes you feel good doesn’t it? Back to what I was saying. God is so Holy he cannot look upon sin. Sinner it is not that He does not love you, it is that you do not know Him,and your sin cannot be looked upon by God. If and or when you repent,really sobbing repentance at the knowledge of who you used to be,thats right,who you used to be,God has just made you a brand new clean baby. Sinless set free from the bondage of sin. Set free from blindness to God. He reveals Himself to you in that very moment. Then,you are no longer a sinner in His eyes. When you have repented of your sin as well as asking jesus into your heart to rein supreme over your life,God sees you clearly and beautifully. He has taken your sin and thrown it as far away as He could (which, I can only imagine is very far, since God is humongous) Never to look upon those sins again.

Do you take and re-member your past? Let’s think about re membering here for a moment. Re is like putting together again,and member a part of an animal body. When God forgets your sins He does not remember them,he does not put back together your sins and look upon them. He threw them away. If your having problems forgetting your sin and moving forward from them,just know this,it is you who keeps putting those thoughts back together again. Remember means to retain in the memory; keep in mind; remain aware of: God does not do that. He remembers you in only the best most beautiful straight up birght Jesus light. Because He called you and gave you to his son. He made you a bridal party participant.A part of Jesus Bride. We are God’s gift to Jesus. I love being a gift to my Jesus. He became the gift for us. He took on our sin and became sin, for us so we could be His prize. Alls one has to do is agree learn and understand all about Jesus,know He is sent of God. He lived a perfect and sinless life,and then died like a common criminal for you. So that when you accept His gift of life, you then become His gift.The Bible says, “Your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you” (Isaiah 59:2). See He cannot look upon sin.

Jesus cherishes each and every Gift God gives Him. He is so good to us always entreating the father on our behalf. Thats why we end our prayers in Jesus name,because Jesus is our go between. What I am saying is this You and I are not victims of God, we are sinners against God. The Bible says, “All have sinned and fallen short of God’s glory” (Romans 3:23). Our consciences tell us plainly that we have not even lived up to our own standards, let alone God’s. Jesus did not intrude himself between us and God. He didn’t jump in to wrestle God away from us against God’s will. God put Jesus between us and himself. “For God so loved the world that he GAVE his only begotten Son, that whoever believes on him might have everlasting life” (John 3:16). The Go-between was God’s idea. He took the initiative to make a way for sinners to come to him through Jesus. God does not lose his cool. He is not impulsive or rash or reckless. He is perfectly righteous and unswervingly just and infinitely holy and pure. He never plays fast and loose with truth or with virtue. He upholds his law with unimpeachable equity and integrity. No shady deals. No bribery. No skeletons in the closet. “God is light and in him is no darkness at all” (1 John 1:5).

See what I am saying? God does not mess around,what He says He does. No question about it.What I am saying here is this,do not fight the Lord and or His plans for the world,it wont work. Embrace God’s plan and get strong in the Lord. Put on His whole armor which can be found in His word in Ephesians. Walk the Romans road. Live with Him guiding your every step from the inside. Trust Him to know what He is doing. Trust Him with your very life. He has nothing but great plans for you. The thing is ,we do not wait for that beautiful perfect relationship with the Lord. We can live it right now.We must start living it now,tomorrow may be too late.The Lord wants to pour blessing upon blessing and grace to grace on you and your life already.We do not have to be in Heaven to have that perfect relationship with our creator,we can have it right here on earth. All the while knowing, eternity is going to be, even greater than our wildest dreams could ever come up with. Knowing He is working us into perfection all along the way.

God’s plans will work out to His specifications, right to the last verse in the bible.He does not need your help, nor want it.Other than loving one another and leading more souls through that very deep loving of people, all people,to the Lord’s kingdom ,there is no job that God needs or wants man kind to try their hand at..Simply put, God sees all,He knows all from beginning to end.He sees evil at work and knows all their plans. We already have this victory won. Jesus won it all. It’s like this ,so it is written so it is done! The bible is not lying to us in anyway.Everything God said in His word will happen,and your going to just frustrate yourself in trying to fight against Gods plans. Pray always for guidance and for the salvation of every person we come into contact with. Live your life do not try to live anyone else’s life for them. In other words don’t judge people that is not your job. Just love them. Even if you cannot love them to the Lord, just love them. Jesus said in Matthew 5:44″But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you”(NIV)

Just Love one another. Just pray for God’s strength on your own life. Yes by all means pray for the people of the world. Pray for what you wish to happen in this world, and God will do as he sees fit to do.Don’t make us Christians look like fools by being in the streets with signs in your hands.Or signing petition after petition. Do not send angry letters to your governmental officials.Just pray and love, and lead by example, the people of the world to the Lord.Christians are not fighters we are lovers.

I pray Father whomever happens to read this will be impacted. I pray Lord that if one reads this who does not know you,that you will reach out and touch their hearts Father.I pray you will call their name Lord and reveal yourself to them.I pray Lord that those who are hurting and fearing over the things about to take place,will come to absolute peace in their hearts about what you have said is going to happen will happen. I pray Father for assurance for those who are hurting Lord,that they can find perfect peace and rest in the midst of trials and fears and worries. I pray for strength for them Lord. Strength to withstand all that is about to come to fruition.
I praise you Lord that I know my strength is not my own but yours,and I thank you for that strength.I ask you all of this, in the matchless name of Jesus,Amen.

Love you all so much in Christ Jesus,Tammy

What does being of one mind make you think of? What exactly is unity? The dictionary defines unity like this.
1.the state of being one; oneness.
2.a whole or totality as combining all its parts into one.
3.the state or fact of being united or combined into one, as of the parts of a whole; unification.
4.absence of diversity; unvaried or uniform character.
5.oneness of mind, feeling, etc., as among a number of persons; concord, harmony, or agreement.
a relation of all the parts or elements of a work constituting a harmonious whole and producing a single general effect.

This is what Christians who call themselves the body of Christ should look like.We as Christians are supposed to work together towards furthering God’s kingdom.

United means= 1.made into or caused to act as a single entity: a united front.
2.formed or produced by the uniting of things or persons: a united effort.
3.agreed; in harmony.
I find it so hard to understand how there is so much infighting going on amongst those who are Christs own. We who have been washed in the blood of Christ are supposed to help one another . Exhort one another. In patience and calmness instruct one another. In my own walk with the Lord I find that in just studying his word to show myself approved to God. I am entirely too busy worrying about my own walk with the Lord, and how better to further my understanding of God through his word a very fulfilling and busy work. What is false teaching? False teaching is someone teaching a different salvation. Teaching a different Jesus. Salvation issues are the only things we need to be watching out for. It does not matter how much money a preacher makes. It does not matter if he believes eating one kind of meat is okay even if you do not agree. It is looking for salvation issues, and rather we recognize them coming from another preacher or teacher.  We must at all times be aware of that fact, and keep in mind Jesus wants us simply to further his kingdom. We are supposed to be united in that one goal.

There are people who are so busy being a divider of the Lords called children, that I honestly cannot see how they have any time to further the kingdom, nor further their own walk with the Lord. I do not believe for one minute that God gave people, any person the job of finding all “their” ideas of a false teacher. I know personally if thats all I was doing all the time, day in and day out, my joy in the Lord would be wiped out. I would be angry on God’s behalf and quite unfulfilled in the word of the Lord. Besides the fact that the Lord does not need me, you or anyone, to do anything for him. He does however love us and desire us for his own.  I am sure you have all seen and or heard at one time in your life the saying, United we stand, divided we fall. If we divide up and take firm angry stances against one another’s small and or secondary beliefs we are simply dividing ourselves from one another. We as the whole body need one another to function correctly. How can a body function if it’s many parts are going in different directions, it would not work!

Here are some verses that speak of the unity we are supposed to be.

Amos 3:3 Can two walk together, except they be agreed?
Psalms 119:63 I am a companion of all them that fear thee, and of them that keep thy precepts.
Psalms 133:1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!
Jeremiah 32:39 And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me for ever, for the good of them, and of their children after them:
Matthew 23:10 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.  Are you some one else’s master? Do you know God did not or did give that person this thing to speak on? I tell you the truth not one of us knows the mind of God and or what he may have assigned someone else to do.
John 13:34-35 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
John 17:23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

Romans 12:9 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. Romans 12:16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.   YES let’s not think ourselves wiser than another brother or sister in Christ. Romans 13:13-14 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. 14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof.Rom 15:5-6 Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus: 6 That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Corinthians 1:10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
1 Corinthians 3:11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
1 Corinthians 12:25 That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.1 Corinthians 15:33 Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.”Evil communication” is that not throwing down accusations of false teacher when it is more than likely not a salvation issue ? 2 Corinthians 13:11 Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.

Ephesians 4:2-6
2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; 3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
Ephesians 4:15-18 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love. 17 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind. 18 Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: Ephesians 4:31-32 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.  Philippians 1:27 Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;

Philippians 2:2-5,8
2 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. 3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. 4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Are we obedient when tearing a brother or sister down? Philippians 3:16 Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing. Colossians 3:12-16 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; 13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. 14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. 15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

Teaching differently about God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, is false teaching. God does not look upon the earth and care to see anything other than, Washed in the Blood, not washed in the blood. God does not care about wealth, food, race, clothing, and hair style. He reads your inside your heart, not your outer trappings.

1 Peter 3:8-12 Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: 9 Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.
10 For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile: 11 Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it. 12 For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.You are not honoring God nor your own family in Christ by being jealous of someones wealth. By being angry at someone supposedly on God’s behalf. Anger is never and has never been of the Lord.

In closing let me say this.  What is the Body of Christ?  The body of Christ is composed of the various Christian and Messianic Jewish fellowships exhibiting the fruits of the Holy Spirit. So if God places his Holy Spirit in a person, he or she is a believer, it’s that simple. Paul clearly stated that true believers in Jesus could possess a very wide range of differing secondary beliefs and still be genuine believers. So we must drop our prejudices toward each other due to differences in secondary beliefs.
What is the sign of a believer in Jesus?  Jesus, before His death and resurrection, commanded his disciples—believers and followers of Him—TO LOVE EACH OTHER (John 13:34-35).  That is how Jesus said others would know we are his disciples.  He said the world will know we are His if, and only if, we have this love for each other that He had for all of us. Also read Romans 14:1-23. Just love one another. Show the world we are indeed Christs, and that we love one another. There is going to be a time coming when the words love your enemies are going to be the hardest to live by. The Lord loves the whole world enough to have sent  His son for everyone who accepts. Even satan knows a divided body cannot stand, thats why he works so hard to divide us.

May God Bless us all and bring us closer together to meet our goal of bringing many to the Lord.
Love in Christ,Tammy

Psalm 31:19 (NIV) How great is your goodness, which you have stored up for those who fear you, which you bestow in the sight of men on those who take refuge in you. Psalm 95:1-6 (KJV) “O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation. Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms. For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods. In his hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills is his also. The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land. O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker.”

Psalm 100 (KJV) “Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing. Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.”

Psalm 107:1 (NIV) “Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.”
Psalm 145:7 (NIV) They will celebrate your abundant goodness and joyfully sing of your righteousness.
1 Chronicles 29:11-13 (KJV) “Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor,for everything in heaven and earth is yours.Yours, O LORD, is the kingdom;you are exalted as head over all. Wealth and honor come from you;you are the ruler of all things. In your hands are strength and power to exalt and give strength to all. Now, our God, we give you thanks,and praise your glorious name.”

These are just a few of the verses from the Old Testament on being thankful.
I thought it would be nice to share with you all of my readers a few verses that show us always to be thankful to the Lord, especially since it is Americas thanksgiving holiday.

There was an even further thaksgiving day long before the American day of thanks, and that was in Nehemiahs day, Nehemiah 11:17 And Mattaniah the son of Micha, the son of Zabdi, the son of Asaph, was the principal to begin the thanksgiving in prayer: and Bakbukiah the second among his brethren, and Abda the son of Shammua, the son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun.

The first American’s to land here came with religious freedom in mind and they had it. They were also starving, and cold and sick and dying, at least half of the adult’s who came to America that year died. Those who lived had their bibles and their faith and not much else. They decided to praise the Lord anyway. What the Lord did was to bring them people from those lands, that the pilgrims knew nothing about, and the Indians showed them how to garden, and catch fish and hunt. They had such an abundance that year that after the fall harvest, they celebrated their abundance by having a feast in which they invited the Indians to dinner. Thus the first thanksgiving. In short they gave thanks to the Lord. We should always be thankful but this time of year is an absolute time of knowing that God has been good to us.
We all should sit and give thanks to the Lord always. Count your blessings. Write them down if you have to. Count them and see exactly how God has provided for you and held you up, when you did not think you would make it through your tough times.

Matthew 11:25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. Matthew 26:27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; John 11:41 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. Revelation 4:9 And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever. Revelation 11:16-17 And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God, Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.

Psalms 50:14 Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High:
Philippians 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. Psalms 92:1 It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High: Psalms 50:14 Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High: Colossians 3:17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. Hebrews 13:15 By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name. Ephesians 5:20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;

Psalms 35:18 I will give thee thanks in the great congregation: I will praise thee among much people. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.  Nehemiah 12:31 Then I brought up the princes of Judah upon the wall, and appointed two great companies of them that gave thanks, whereof one went on the right hand upon the wall toward the dung gate:
Nehemiah 12:40 So stood the two companies of them that gave thanks in the house of God, and I, and the half of the rulers with me: Acts 27:35 And when he had thus spoken, he took bread, and gave thanks to God in presence of them all: and when he had broken it, he began to eat.

Ephesians 1:16 Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; Meaning give thanks for one another. Ephesians 5:20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; 1 Thessalonians 1:2 We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers; Psalms 30:4 Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.Psalms 97:12 Rejoice in the LORD, ye righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.

Psalms 106:1 Praise ye the LORD. O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. Psalms 136:1-3 O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. O give thanks unto the God of gods: for his mercy endureth for ever. O give thanks to the Lord of lords: for his mercy endureth for ever.   With all of David’s repetition going on in giving thanks, do you think it is important?  I definitely do. I personally am very thankful and begin all of my prayers with thanksgiving to the Lord.

2 Corinthians 9:15 Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift. Revelation 11:17 Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned. Romans 7:23-25 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
1 Corinthians 15:57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.          For Wisdom in the Lord, Daniel 2:23 I thank thee, and praise thee, O thou God of my fathers, who hast given me wisdom and might, and hast made known unto me now what we desired of thee: for thou hast now made known unto us the king’s matter.

The list goes on and on of the verses that mention giving thanks to God our Father. Think about it this way, when you do something for someone, though you do not need thanks for it, you do hope for it. The Lord does for us daily, we should thank Him on a constant basis for all he is, all he does, and all he is going to do. When you have abundance to give to other’s, give thanks that you are able.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving day!
Love in Christ Jesus,Tammy
