Affirmation: When I thank Him I am honoring Him. I am thankful, regardless of what my life seems to be.

Praise is that element of celebration that can transport us into the throne room of God. Once we are in the throne room at His feet, we need to worship and adore Him. As we worship Him in that intimate place, He begins to reveal His glory to us. - Chuck Pierce

"Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." - 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

The cry for more is a belittlement of what we must be and do and undermines the grace and providence of God in our lives. - Henri Nouwen

Affirmation: I dwell in Him and He is in me because He has given me of His Spirit.

PRODUCING THE MIRACLE

John 15:7,8 -- "If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you will, and it shall be done for you. By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples."

Some are willing to spend hours in prayer asking for a miracle instead of planting the word of God in their hearts, which in time would produce the miracle. Prayer is what water and fertilizer are to a seed. They help the word release it's life.

But if you haven't planted the seed, it doesn't matter how much water and fertilizer you apply, the soil still won't produce fruit. It's the seed that has life.

Matthew 13:23 -- "The one who received the seed in rich soil is the man who hears the word and understands it; who accordingly bears fruit"........."


Hebrews 4:12 -- For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword..........

INTO ACTION

Write three affirmations based on this teaching.
