- 0:12Speaker 2: Oh yes. We've been talking about being grateful of course
- 0:14Speaker 2: this Thanksgiving week and having gratitude one of my favorite scriptures.
- 0:18Speaker 2: Of course a lot of people we say it all
- 0:20Speaker 2: the time, especially my worship leaders. So I'm thirty four
- 0:22Speaker 2: to one. I will bless the Lord at all times,
- 0:24Speaker 2: and this praise shall continually be in my mouth. That's
- 0:28Speaker 2: how you know you're grateful when you can give thanks
- 0:30Speaker 2: and everything, when you can praise God in spite of
- 0:32Speaker 2: There's a difference between being thankful and living thankful. See,
- 0:36Speaker 2: gratitude is more than just a feeling. It's an atmosphere
- 0:39Speaker 2: that you can actually create. You may not always feel thankful,
- 0:41Speaker 2: but you can create that atmosphere by giving God praise.
- 0:44Speaker 2: David said, I'm a blessed Lord at all times, which
- 0:46Speaker 2: means gratitude is not about your mood, family, It's about
- 0:50Speaker 2: a mindset. It's a mindset that says I will bless
- 0:53Speaker 2: the Lord regardless, not I feel like it, not I
- 0:55Speaker 2: want to, but I will in spite of you're choosing
- 0:58Speaker 2: praise overpower. Me. People pout when things don't go their way,
- 1:02Speaker 2: but instead you should praise God and it'll shift the
- 1:05Speaker 2: entire climate around you. See, negativity can't breathe where gratitude lives.
- 1:09Speaker 2: When your words change, your world changes. Your declaration determines
- 1:13Speaker 2: your direction. What are you saying that's going to determine
- 1:15Speaker 2: the direction that your life is going to go. Where
- 1:18Speaker 2: the focus goes, the power flows. So make sure that
- 1:21Speaker 2: you're giving words of praise, not words of pouting, not
- 1:24Speaker 2: words of complaining, not words of frustration. Yes, we can
- 1:27Speaker 2: get frustrated, but life and death is in the power
- 1:29Speaker 2: of your tongue. Even if you think it. Make sure
- 1:31Speaker 2: you bring those thoughts under subjection and speak and say,
- 1:34Speaker 2: you know what, I'm gonna be like David, I don't
- 1:36Speaker 2: like this situation, but I'm going to still bless the Lord.
- 1:38Speaker 2: Sometimes the miracle isn't God changing the situation, it's God
- 1:42Speaker 2: changing your spirit in the midst of the situation. A
- 1:45Speaker 2: thankful person can walk into chaos and still be calm
- 1:49Speaker 2: and this will want to say, this is what I'm
- 1:51Speaker 2: and this is what I want to say. Is I
- 1:52Speaker 2: close Gratitude doesn't just change the room. Gratitude actually becomes
- 1:57Speaker 2: the room. You can change the atmosphere by just being grateful.
- 2:00Speaker 2: Come last one. Yes, gratitude doesn't just change the room,
- 2:06Speaker 2: it becomes the room. That when you can be grateful
- 2:09Speaker 2: in the room, we're speaking in the rooms. It's just
- 2:11Speaker 2: say it in the room. It becomes the room and
- 2:14Speaker 2: everything that flows with it. So, yeah, that's the that's
