Gratitude: Key To Power

Give Thanks

The gifts which God gives each day are indescribable so we join Paul and say” thanks be to God for His indescribable gift! 9 2 Corinthians 9:15) Learning to be thankful is one of the best ways to combat a sense of victimization and self-pity ,despair, hopelessness and perpetual fatigue. Thanksgiving should be part of every conversation, not just prayer. One of the major sins of many people today is that of ingratitude. According to Romans 1, lack of gratitude’s the seed of most evil acts that go against the will and purpose of God, they want to be something else  so they make a substitute. They idolize. The women are not grateful for being women, they seek to act as men;  the men are not thankful for  the creation of women , they must substitute themselves and even animals for women. The men are not grateful for being men. Children are not grateful for the parents they have. Their parents can never do enough for them ;they are not grateful for the little their parents are   able to afford for them. Parents are not grateful for their children; they compare, complain and castigate and complicate. The lack of gratitude ends in  the removal of the spirit of God from their heart and they become darkness instead of light.

An understanding of gratitude is of great significance to the flow of God’s power in our lives. Gratitude is one of the key ways to avoid many of the errors against the scriptures cautions against. Prayers of Gratitude keep us in a place of truth and check the sinful impulse to believe that we are the source of our success. The prayer of gratitude opens our eyes to see so that we do not arrogantly presume that our development and progress are based on our own resources. A prayer of gratitude can be the antidote to the type of thinking which marginalizes God and misjudges other.

“Understanding the Season and the Contradiction – Fiery Trials and Relationships”
by Johnny Enlow, Santa Clarita, CA

We are simultaneously in a season of unprecedented breakthrough and acceleration while also being in a season of intense fiery tests. This is happening both at a macro level (our nation for instance), as well as at a micro level in your key personal relationships. This dynamic can have many of you at minimum befuddled as you can’t tell if you are in a good season or a bad season. Rejoicing and panic both seem to be readily your portion. The bottom-line truth is—this is an unprecedentedly good season, but our advancements are not going unchallenged.

An Immense Heavenly Outpouring Coming

Some advancements we have been waiting for years for or even decades—are suddenly happening, and yet there are accompanying tests that are so unexpected and shocking that it is threatening to steal the joy or even sabotage the breakthrough. There are many factors playing into this present reality. One is that there is an immense outpouring of Heaven’s gifts in finance, favor and anointing that is forthcoming—and God is allowing relationships at all levels to be uniquely challenged so that when the heavenly outpouring comes you can stand in the prosperity, favor and anointing being deposited.

High favor can harm you, your family and key relationships if you are not strengthened for it. Because of this many church, business and family relationships are under significant duress right now, even while many of those being tested experience unique breakthrough in other areas.

Faulty Relationships Being Exposed

Many long-lasting relationships have had a foundational weakness that cannot take the pressure of the next level of prosperous outpouring that God is about to drop on His people. The present test is making it imperative that you either upgrade the relationship or the relationship is not going to make it. This of course has already happened to some of you and it is stunning some of you because you have always assumed a great destiny breakthrough would come connected to the relationship(s) that have now seemed to have failed. The purpose of this writing is to help many of you make sense of what is taking place.

For some of you, it is already “after the fact” and the long-term seemingly vital relationship is suddenly over. For the rest of you, be aware of the season and the purpose of the added stress to key relationships. It is so that you strengthen the underlining weakness of the relationship or that in some cases, you painfully discover that a key relationship does not have the strength for the next level of your journey. Do not misunderstand this as an invitation to quit vital relationships. Instead, do everything possible to see the relationship through the fiery test.

Long-term relationships that make it through this brief, intense fiery season become quickly positioned for a great harvest. This is the ideal. However, at some point there may be a need to recognize that there is a separation taking place and if so, be comforted. God is looking out for you and saving you from building any longer on a faulty foundation. He will have the next key relationship(s) for you and let your confidence be in that.

Above all, ask for more love and more wisdom, as He is both Love and Wisdom and will see you through to what He has been promising you all along.

Word for 2017 – Ted Hansen

Pastor Ted J. Hanson – January 22, 2017

I hear the Spirit of the Lord saying, This is the year of ‘I AM’ and you’re going to see Me as ‘I AM’ like never before and you’re going to discover who you are like never before and you’re going to be able to say ‘i am’ in Christ. For it’s not what I do that I’m measured by. It’s who ‘I AM’. And those who measure Me by what I do are confused with who ‘I AM’ and they get offended with who ‘I AM’. But God says this is a year where I’m going to reveal who ‘I AM’ in the nations. I’m going to reveal who ‘I AM’ in your life. And who ‘I AM’ is not as you would propose. I’m going to clear you free from the clutter of inform and bring you into the simplicity of transform. For that which is informing you brings confusion and it brings clutter, but God says, I’m bringing you back to the simple place of My grace and there you’re going to discover that My love is in My face. It’s not just in My heart. It’s in My face. And you’re going to have a greater level of a face to face experience with Me that’s going to free you. There’s an anointing oil that I’m releasing in this season that is an anointing oil of deliverance and healing for you shall be freed from some things that have held you back and you’ll come into some understanding of things that you could never see before.

For this is a year where I’m going to uncover, I’m going to unveil, and I’m going to restore the things that have been lost as though they had never been lost before in your life. I’m uncovering not to uncover sin. I’m uncovering to uncover the places that need to change by the power of My love and by the testimony of My grace. And I will come and I will heal that place ­– I’ll transform, I won’t inform. I’ll transform. I won’t tell you what to do. I will activate you to be who you are. I won’t give you a lot of what to’s. I will ignite the passion of the why in your heart for you will see me in the way that ‘I AM’. And then you will understand the way that – ‘i am’ in Christ. You will understand the way you are in Christ.

And the Lord says, I will uncover only so that I can unveil. And in the unveiling you will find the solutions to the things that held you back and they’re not far away.

God says, the solutions to the things that have held you back are in your life because ‘I AM’ in your life. ‘I AM’ in your life. ‘I AM’ in your life. And it’s not what I will do that will free you. It’s who ‘I AM’ that frees you. But this is a season where ‘I AM’ going to be revealed in the nations like never before. ‘I AM’ going to be revealed. And so I’m uncovering the weakness, the place of dependency upon me, the place that can finally see me. You see the Spirit of the Lord says, I work very well in formless, void, and dark places, but places that are formed, places that are filled, and places that have the light they call their day, I cannot work very easily. But I work very well when you understand that without Me you’re lost. I work very well when you understand that you need Me in your heart. I look for the hungry and that’s where I bring My revelation. I look for the thirsty and that’s where I bring My refreshing. And this is the season where you’re going to see Me as ‘I AM’ like never before. And then you’re going to understand – who ‘i am’. You’re going to understand – who ‘i am. And so I’m going to uncover, and I’m going to unveil, but then I’m going to restore things that would have been had they never been lost. This is the season. For I have said that there was a grassroots revolution in the nations. I’ve declared that there would be a grassroots revolution. Not a grassroots revival, a grassroots revolution. For I’m not interested in reviving the things that are, I’m interested in revealing the things you’ve never seen before. I’m not interested in returning something to the past. I’m interested in a season called NOW, says the Spirit of God, and I’m Life. And I’m bringing it now in this season. And in this grassroots revolution there is a restoration of My speech – My language. For when you look at Me and you measure Me by your heart you do not understand Me. But when you look at Me and you let Me measure your heart by Mine, then you see what you could never see before. And so I’m restoring My speech in My people. I’m restoring the speaking of the Lord. And I’m restoring the speaking of the Word of the Lord. And the speaking of the Lord is when those who do not even know Me say what I desire to say because nothing happens in the earth without My voice, nothing happens without My voice. And so the Spirit of God says, this is the season of ‘I AM’ and I’m bringing you into your midst and you’re going to see it as a church here at Alife. You’ll see that I’m doing new things that are connected to old things. Don’t look to the past. Look now. For this is the season, this is the day, and I’m here.

Don’t listen to Me as though I desire to inform you of anything. Listen to Me as the One who transforms your heart.
