THANKSGIVING HAS ALWAYS BEEN ONE OF MY FAVORITE HOLIDAYS! One of my most famous testimonies is: “I have always loved Thanksgiving: even when I was a sinner!”

Why do I celebrate this statement of mine? Because, Beloved, I did not die in my sins!!! God was exceedingly and abundantly patient with me (Lord: help me also to be the same for those who are now sinners.) My God is my God and He was my God when I was NOT His child.

Now I am! And He blesses me, not because I have ever – could ever – earn His love, His forgiveness, His mercy, His grace and much more, more, more – I am gifted. Gifted with the mind of Christ. Never do I want anything but His will! His will IS my will and I WILL submit – by my free-will choice – by my love and YES – by my thankfulness each and every day. I am gifted!

 

Selah…

 

What do I mean by this? God created all things for His good pleasure, for His purpose, and for Himself to receive true love from His true children:

 

James 1:17-18 declares this!
Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.  He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all he created.

 

Isaiah 43:6-7
… Bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the ends of the earth—everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made.”

 

AND LET’S NOT FORGET (CONTRARY TO THOSE WHO HAVE NO REGARD FOR THE UNBORN PERSON’S LIFE)

 

Psalm 139:13-16
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.

 

Yes! I thank God continually – not FOR all things but IN all things…

 

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

 

And as I rejoice always I am www.joyeternalministries.com:  I choose to give thanks always: I fully realize God is God and we are not.

He has blessed those who confess Him as God and their only Lord and Savior with

• physical life
• ζωή life – that’s the God-kind of life

WHICH INCLUDES:

• redemption
• justification
• sanctification
• &
• freedom from every curse!

 

I celebrate Thanksgiving everyday, I celebrate taking what has been offered to me: receiving thankfully from God His blessings and from His family their blessings, also choosing to bless the Lord Oh! my soul and bless my brethren! I am created to be a blessing and unless I receive His blessings – what good am I? I am the salt of the Earth! I am the light of the world! I choose now and forever to let my light shine before others!

 

Matthew 5:13-16
“You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.  “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

 

I am not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ! He, and only He, is the way and the truth and the life. No one can come to the Father except through Jesus Christ!

Amen and Amen!

YES I AM BOASTING: I boast only in Christ. He has done this and it is marvelous in His eyes.

 

Galatians 6:12-14
Those who want to impress people by means of the flesh are trying to compel you to be circumcised. The only reason they do this is to avoid being persecuted for the cross of Christ. Not even those who are circumcised keep the law, yet they want you to be circumcised that they may boast about your circumcision in the flesh. May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

 

I am gifted!

 

 

Father,
my chosen Father, Maker of Heaven and Earth,
I am not of satan’s kingdom. I have been translated out of it! I am delivered from his dominion of darkness. You have brought me into Your Kingdom – the Kingdom of the Son You and I love — and all who choose to love Truth, which is, which was and which always shall be, Jesus Christ Your Son –  I am redeemed. I am forgiven. I am born from above!

Thank You!

ThanK YoU!

THANK YOU!

 

Father,
I also thank you for the giftings you have put in your people – your children. I praise you Father of Heaven and of Earth that you have given giftings even to the sinners for a season.

 

Matthew 5:45
… He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.

 

1 Peter 3:18
For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God.

 

God Almighty one of my giftings is love for the lost: and love for people, all people, knowing You have created them for Your purpose, for your fellowship with them — NOT satan’s. Therefore: I pray the sinners of today do this:

 

Isaiah 55:6-11
Seek the Lord while he may be found; call on him while he is near. Let the wicked forsake their ways and the unrighteous their thoughts. “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.

 

MORE SCRIPTURAL TRUTHS FROM THIS “JOY STORY”:

Genesis 4:3-5
In the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to the Lord. And Abel also brought an offering—fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock. The Lord looked with favor on Abel and his offering, but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor. So Cain was very angry, and his face was downcast.

 

2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.

 

Ephesians 3:14-21
For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name.  I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being,  so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love,  may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ,  and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

 

Galatians 3:10-14
 For all who rely on the works of the law are under a curse, as it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.”  Clearly no one who relies on the law is justified before God, because “the righteous will live by faith.”  The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, it says, “The person who does these things will live by them.” Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole.” He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.
