THANKSGIVING

In the early days priests in My Father's Temple could never enter the Holy Place without an offering or a sacrifice. Because I gave My life for the remission of your sins, you are now able to daily come to My Father boldly. However, there are still offerings and sacrifices that you can present to My Father as you enter into that Holy Place with Him.

Thanksgiving, praise, and worship are the spiritual sacrifices you can offer daily to My Father.

You can enter His gates with thanksgiving and then enter His courts with praise. The highest form of worship that you can give My Father is to do His will daily.

The greatest offering you can give My Father is your body. Daily offer your body to Him as a living sacrifice and the members of your body as instruments of My righteousness, peace, joy, and love. You are part of My royal priesthood and I love it when you daily offer these spiritual sacrifices.

ROMANS 12:1; PSALM 100:4

I know there are days when you feel like you are out of energy. Those days are filled with planning, preparing, and providing. Sometimes you feel like no one is helping you. On those days I want you to remember that I sent My Helper, My Holy Spirit, to help you. Instead of rushing ahead to get your "To Do List" done, ask Me for help. Look at your list and then ask Me to order your thoughts. When you do this, I will prioritize your day. There are always things that can wait to be done until another day.

My Spirit can energize you and My angels stand on duty to give you assistance throughout the day. When you feel weak, just call upon Me and say, "I am strong in the Lord and in the power of His might." My Holy Spirit is the very power of My might and He longs to distribute that power to you and that might to you whenever you ask Him to strengthen you in those weak moments. I am "The Finisher" and "The Replenisher."

JOHN 14:15-18

THIIRST

Blessed are those who thirst for they shall be filled. Many try to quench the thirst in their souls with worldly things that only temporarily satiate their souls. I have the living water that will satisfy souls for all eternity. Since I now live within you, you also contain My living water that can refresh and quench the thirst in others.

Every morning take a fresh drink of My living water, My Holy Spirit, and then ask Me to place you in the right time and in the right place to refresh others with My living water. When you do not fellowship with others, you will soon become so self-centered that the wells of salvation within your own soul will become stagnant. Always keep My living water flowing out of you to others. Even when you are not able to get out of your dwelling, you can call someone or write someone a word from My living Word that will quench the thirst in their souls. As My Spirit flows through you to others, you also will be refreshed.

JOHN 4:10

SATURATE

I recognize that you go through dry times when you feel that I have distanced Myself from you. When those times happen, remember My words, "I will never leave you or forsake you." It is natural for you to feel distant from Me from time to time because there is so much in this world to distract you from My presence with you.

Those dry times will become less and less in your life when you allow Me to saturate your soul with My Word and with My presence. Daily take a few minutes to just sit quietly in My presence and allow Me to minister to you. Remember I said that I came to serve, not to be served. Daily I sing love songs over you, but the busy moments during the day drown out the songs.

When you wait upon Me by stilling your soul, I then will be able to saturate your soul with My joy, peace and love. In My presence is fulness of joy.

PSALM 4:4, 46:10, PSALM 131:2

BLESSING

I want you to join the blessing club. I told My followers that they were even to bless their enemies and do good to those who do them wrong. People are hungry everywhere to receive a blessing. So many have never had anyone pray a blessing over them. There are very few people who would refuse for you to pray a blessing over them. Of course, I understand that you cannot just go up to a stranger and pray a blessing over them, but you can quietly pray a blessing over those you meet during the day.

Praying blessings over people releases My redemptive power and I long for that power to released to all on earth. Today when you go through your daily routines and encounter people, pray a silent blessing over them. You may even want to say out loud to them, "God bless you."

Remember that every day I pray blessings over you. Have a blessed day!!

MATTHEW 5:44

COMMENTS

When I walked on Earth I did not comment on what others said. I listened and usually responded with a question. I only said what My Father told Me to say, and He does not comment. He commands. He exhorts. He teaches. He declares and proclaims. When you feel that you need to comment on something someone has said, that feeling is usually rooted in pride. You want to add your view on something. Few people really want you to comment on something they have just said. They just want you to listen and receive what they said with a gracious heart instead of a judgmental heart. Remember always when you are in a conversion with someone to pray quietly to yourself while you are speaking them to them and then My Holy Spirit will give you the words to say that will have an impact upon that person's heart.

JOHN 8:29
