“THANK GOD” – THE HEALING BALM THAT RESTORES US

May 29th 2018

“Through him then let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that acknowledge his name” – Hebrews 13:15

The scripture says we should thank God in all things. Thanksgiving goes with praises; for we cannot adequately praise God without thanking Him for His wonderful works. We thank God for what we are yet to receive; we thank Him for what we have received; and we thank Him for our losses. It so happens that we find it difficult to thank God in difficult moments, especially when we have lost a job, promotion, a viable opportunity or during mourning. In gratitude, we are able to align our flesh with the spirit of God in order to heal the flesh of trauma and pains. It is the flesh that feels pains; therefore, it is the flesh that must be healed. Gratitude heals us and strengthens our emotions to withstand grief and disappointment. When we give thanks for our losses and pains, the heavens are opened, revealing the silver lining which in turn brings forth the golden rays of God’s beauty and love into our hearts.

We are immediately healed of every bitterness and pains. During painful and traumatic moments, we do not thank God for the evil that happens to us; rather, we thank God for His sustenance and healing balm during this period of pains. Thereafter, we can look ahead with hope, believing that all things work together for good for those who love God and are called according to His purpose. The word of God is telling us today to give thanks to God no matter the situation; whether in good times or in bad times. When we give thanks in good times, the heavens are opened and we receive more. In bad times, gratitude merges our pained flesh with Christ and He is able to absorb our pains and sorrows, while hope and faith are restored

Prayer

Father in the name of Jesus Christ, I give you thanks today for everything, for this is thy will for me in Christ Jesus. Thank you, Adonai, for your loving-kindness, mercy, compassion and graciousness endures forever. Therefore, I am not anxious, because your peace that exceeds all understanding keeps my heart and mind safe in Christ Jesus. Today, my mouth is full of praises oh most holy Yahweh, and I declare that all my afflictions and bitterness are healed. I am strengthened and restored. Thank you blessed Redeemer. AMEN
