Thanking God NOT JUST FOR the Blessings

Thanking God NOT JUST FOR the Blessings

Certainly He’s Crazy

Isn’t He?

No?!?!

This was not originally written for politics, but the appliction works, UNFORTUNATELY.

Look, It’s easy to thank the Lord for Blessings, right? But does the Bible actually suggest we can Thank-Him for the difficulties too?

Check out my short video. You’ll be surprised (and maybe a bit grumpy).

Below are some past posts of mine, which give a similar story about giving thanks (Yuk).

 

Blessings,

Politics & Arrogance

Politics & Arrogance

Sometimes Confident, Bold, Fervency is just Arrogance

If you know me, you know I am all about praying with Confidence. 1 John 5:14-15 is a mantra I press everywhere I go. I did a short, 3 minute video called Confident Praying which will help you.

So, what is the difference between confident, bold, fervent prayers, and arrogance?

Simple!

When God’s anwer is DIFFERENT from your expectation, how do you respond?

When it comes to politics, if you think “your-way” was the right way, and “God’s-way” was wrong. Well, start looking for lightning bolts, and don’t come near me.

The video gives you a little more help in this matter.

 

IN THE VIDEO:

What determines if your praying is arrogant or not?

Are you guilty?

Are you praying arrogantly?

If you are, may I help you? Start praying, “Lord, WHATEVER You want to do in our poilitcs, is fine with me.”

Ouch!

Good luck. This ain’t easy.

Politics & Trusting God

Politics & Trusting God

We All Say We Trust God, But Do We?

I did a video, Calling God a Liar because the way we pray tells us a lot about ourselves.

I suspect the way you pray about politics tells you a lot about whether or not you really trust God.

The video below is a little over 2 minutes long. Let it challenge you (privately of course  wink).

IN THE VIDEO:

Did I say in the video you should not pray about politics? No, of course not!

What did I say about your political praying?

I said “MAKE SURE YOU’RE NOT TRUSTING PRINCES!”

But did you catch the really scary part of what I said, “God may do what He wants to do and not what you want Him to do.”

If you need to, will you admit to God you have not been trusting Him?

Oh, I hope you will.

There are lots more of these video-posts to follow, as we try to get “Ahead of the Curve,” praying for our country.

And if you live in another country, tell me how I need to address these issues for you. . .

Praying Christmas Overview

Praying Christmas Overview

Starting in the winter of 2011 I had the opportunity to do a daily radio show with themed praying depending upon the season. The Christmas Season’s Praying has become an annual event here at Common Thread Ministries, and we hope you will enjoy it with us.

For the Christmas holiday I put The Christmas Story in Chronological Order and then set up 25 Days of Daily Prayer during the Christmas season. It was a huge hit then and I think you will find it a great encouragement to you now. It is a unique look into Christmas.

We hope you’ll join us.

Would You Thank the Lord with Me?

Regarding the Division in this Nation, Please?

  • You see, I believe the Church has a unique opportunity to stand apart from the world.
  • We can live and demonstrate unity in our churches, even though we may disagree at the ballot box.
  • My friends, the world cannot do that! They are not equipped. But you and I are, because of the Holy Spirit living inside us.
